mine arrived today, but unfortunately they are a little bit 'off' I would say

already contacted the support, but don't think they will say anything else than to return it. really disappointed. btw: my cc didn't get charged as well last time I checked.

Could you live with it? Ask for like 20% off or something ?

most certainly I have to live with it if I don't want to come back empty-handed. would be nice if they offer a slight discount though, ultimately they will save the shipping cost from Germany back to the states... we'll see what happens.

Those with experience: does End always indicate a lower price when shipping to North America?
Thanks

No they do not. I've asked END cust svc about this before and they always declare the full value.

Technically it's against the law to mark down so, no office intended, they are not going to tell you if they do or not as for all they know it could be a customs officer asking the question!

Ha makes sense. And no office taken. 

 

[desneakers1]

Do you think you will eventually get charged for it? Strange that I was charged for the customs but not the shoes so far....

Not sure it'd be pretty sweet if they don't

Follow up question.
If End ships a pair of MADE IN THE USA new balance shoes to the USA there should be no custom charges right?

There will be customs charges regardless. As long as you go over $200, you will get fees.

What, no. They ship everything from the UK so you're getting charged regardless of where the shoe is made.

I had like 6 pairs in hand and a few had some flaws.. It's a sad time when you can't even rely on NB for good quality control. It's expected from saucony and asics but damn.. Lately NB too

 

[threegeees]

For those who didn't get charged yet.. It'll happen soon. They took money off my cc like 5 days after mine arrived

 

[mykoh]

What happens if you cancel your card before they charge you?

Karma will collect on their behalf.

 

[boogeda]

^ they probably can't do anything about it, but that's a really shady move if that were to happen.

Yeah try and play that card and see if they can

What happens if you cancel your card before they charge you?

lol don't start giving people ideas i wouldn't mind if they forgot to charge me but to go through the trouble of canceling a credit card over what would be a free pair of shoes would be crazy

 

[niktheqwik20]

Have M997DBR's hit outlets yet?

 

[whiteysneaks]

 
Yeah i do understand, customs duties are like the lottery, maybe they check your parcel maybe not, i can't understand why Cncpts don't do the same thing that eu shops do for US fellas, like End they indicate a lower price on the invoice.

When you send a package overseas the amount at which you can insure the package is the same as the declared value. If Cncpts marks it at $50 and the package gets damaged, you will get all of your money back and they will be stuck with $50. It's stupid for any seller to declare at a value below what the buyer paid because they are taking all of the risk with nothing to gain. Customs duties are the buyer's responsibility and the buyer should never expect the seller to cater to them.

Also, more often than not I have received a customs invoice from FedEx for purchases over $200 on End.

557 I wear Us8.5, 998 what size should I get?
Seems like the front part is narrower in 998.
please advise!

 

[zeroregret]

What, no. They ship everything from the UK so you're getting charged regardless of where the shoe is made. 

+1... There will be customs charges for tax etc. There just won't be duty because you're importing something that is made in the US. Taxes and duty are two separate charges. I'm located in Canada so the rose 997 I bought was exempted from duties but I had to pay sales tax on them.

 

[kenzie]

If 577 I wear us8.5, what size should I get for the new m998-clsc?

 

[jerkstore]

If 577 I wear us8.5, what size should I get for the new m998-clsc?

Get the same size. 8.5.

 

[kenzie]

Get the same size. 8.5.

But the pic show the front is narrower.
8.5us is ok right?

 

[jerkstore]

Yes. I wear the same size in the UK 577 and USA 998. The 577 fits a bit looser.

What do you mean 'off'? Like they're past their expiry date?
