FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What are raffles and how do they work?

A raffle is a random draw that we regularly make at THEGOODWILLOUT to give away the right to purchase an exclusive and/or limited edition of a model. To win a raffle implies having the right to acquire one of the models provided by THEGOODWILLOUT. Each raffle applies three times, happening once online, once in the store in Barcelona and another one in the store in Madrid.

The raffle of each release will be announced in advance on our social media explaining the conditions and the procedure to follow in order to participate. It is necessary to pay attention to our posts and notifications on our Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts. The specific terms of each raffle will be announced in each of these accounts. There are some requirements that are mandatory in any case. Please read the following terms and conditions of the raffles.

Terms and conditions of the raffles

To win a raffle implies the right to purchase a specific sneaker model. The winner of the raffle has to pay and pick up such model on the date and time specified for each different raffle.

The time limit to sign up for a raffle is subject to changes by THEGOODWILLOUT at any time.

The winners are randomly chosen and not under any THEGOODWILLOUT member’s decision.

The winning raffle ticket is personal and non-transferable. The evidence of any attempt to grant or sell the right to purchase will inevitably mean the disqualification of such winner in the next raffles.

THEGOODWILLOUT reserves the right to disqualify any customer that is proven to have manipulated their participation in the raffle or its results.

In order to participate in a raffle it is mandatory to be over 18 years old and to present a valid ID at the moment of the registration to the raffle as well as at the subsequent purchase, in the case of being the winner. If such conditions are not fulfilled, the person concerned won’t be able to apply to the raffle nor buy the item whose right of purchase is being drawn. It is not allowed to bring someone else’s ID nor take part on their behalf.

In the case a winner doesn’t show up to pay and pick up their purchase up to a total of 3 non-consecutive times, such person will be banned and will be unable to take part in any other raffle, either online or in-store. At THEGOODWILLOUT we would like to reward the participation of those customers who appreciate these dynamics and take these draws seriously.

It is forbidden that the same customer signs up more than once for the same online raffle or for the same in-store raffle. This attempt will imply the disqualification of such person, reversing the possibility of participation.

It is allowed to participate, within the same release, in the online raffle and in the in-store raffle.

Where can I find all the information about raffles and giveaways?

We publish all the information about our raffles and giveaways on our social networks, on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. We also recommend you keep an eye on the release dates that we post and update regularly on our Release Calendar.

Can I participate in raffles and giveaways if I’m under 18?

No, minors won’t be able to participate in any of the draws.

What happens if I don’t comply with the terms and conditions of the draw?

The infringement of the terms and conditions will mean the ban from the participation and/or the following purchase.

Can I participate in an online raffle and an in-store raffle for the same release?

Yes, these are independent draws. Signing up for an online raffle is compatible with signing up for an in-store raffle.

Only one entry per customer and per draw will be accepted.

How many times can I sign up for an online raffle?

It is only allowed to sign up once for the online raffle of the same item. Attention! In the case of participating more than once in the same online raffle, the participation will automatically be canceled.

Can I cancel or modify my participation?

No, it is not possible to cancel or modify the participation once it entered the draw.

Will I be notified whether I am a winner or not?

If you happen to be a winner, you will receive a notification on the email address you provided while registering.

Only the winners will be notified through email. If after your participation you don’t receive any notification from THEGOODWILLOUT, that means you didn’t end up winning. Best luck for the next try!

I won an online draw, how can I proceed to purchase?

After receiving the winning notification, you will also get a Stripe payment request specifying the deadline to pay.

What happens if I miss the deadline to buy an item?

If that is the case, you will lose the right to purchase such item. In the confirmation of the raffle we specify the deadline to access the purchase of the item as the winner. The time of the deadline is represented in CET time. Please keep in mind that if the winner accumulates up to 3 purchase leaves, they will be banned from the rest of the raffles.

Where can I see the upcoming releases? What’s the Release Calendar?

On the Release Calendar page of our website, we post the item releases coming to The Good Will Out each week. We also try to include releases planned for a longer period of time if we already have an assured date. With our Release Calendar, we seek to always keep you informed of the most special drops, mostly limited-edition sneakers and items that are very difficult to find in the market.

Are the products that you sell original?

Yes, all of our products are original. At THEGOODWILLOUT we work directly with each manufacturer brand.

Can I reserve a product?

No, it is not possible to make any reservations.

I’m not sure about my size, what should I do?

You can find all the information regarding the size of the sneakers and the clothes in our size guide What's my size? You can also find this information in the product details: next to the pictures on the right you’ll find a size guide and the available sizes. All the sizes will show up in the European system, marked on the table with the initials EU, as well as their equivalents to the American (US) and to the British system (UK). We also offer the possibility to verify how many centimeters the size you selected has marked with the abbreviation CM. If you need any further information, feel free to contact our Customer Service.

My size is no longer available, when will it be restocked?

If your size shows up as not available, it is unlikely that we will have more in stock. When a size or a model is sold out, we usually don’t get any more units of that same product. The availability you see in our online store is the real-time stock that we have in our stores as well as in the online store.

My size is sold out online, can I get it in-store?

No, when a size is no longer available on our webpage that means it’s sold out both online and in-store.

Is the price of an item the same in the online store and in the physical store?

The prices of our online store and our physical stores are always the same. The price does not vary in any case.

Does THEGOODWILLOUT sell wholesale? I would like to buy a large number of products.

No, THEGOODWILLOUT does not sell wholesale.

How can I confirm I made an order correctly?

Once the payment is completed you’ll be redirected to a confirmation webpage where you can find your order number. You’ll automatically receive a confirmation email with all the details concerning the purchase. The payment is charged immediately, so you will see the corresponding charge on your bank statement or on your Stripe account. If you have any further questions contact our Customer Service department, where we will be able to confirm your order status.

How can I check my shipment status?

When your order leaves our warehouse, you’ll receive a confirmation email with the shipping details from the corresponding delivery company and your tracking number. Also, we facilitate a direct link so that you can track your package with just one click. This way, you can be informed about where your package is at all times. Only customers who have a customer account will be able to access the order status and have a purchase history.

I haven’t received any confirmation email. Has it been sent successfully?

First, check your email spam and junk folders. If you cannot find it in any of these folders or think you might have misspelled your email address when you placed the order, please contact our Customer Service team for help.

Is it possible to add another item to the order I just made?

It is not possible to modify an order once it is placed already and in process. If you forgot to include an item, you would have to place a new order.

Something in my shipping address is wrong, what can I do?

If you notice any mistake in the entered information once your order has been placed, you must contact immediately our Customer Service team to try to solve this problem. An error in the address could cause problems in the delivery of your package, so it is important to review the data entered and report any possible error in the address.

Which documents will I find inside my package once it arrives?

You won’t find any printed documents inside your package. We don’t include a printed invoice. You can find all the information regarding your payment and purchase in the section ‘My Orders’ in your personal THEGOODWILLOUT account.

What is the expected delivery time?

The delivery times depend not only on the country of destination but also on the shipment method you have chosen. You will find all the delivery information including delivery times on our webpage, under the link Delivery information. To know when your purchase will arrive, you can track your package. Please refer to the question ‘How can I check my shipment status?’ for more information.

How much are the shipping costs?

The shipping costs depend on different factors: the order amount, the country of destination and the shipment method. If you would like to know how much the shipping of your order will be, go to our website Delivery information.

Do you ship orders every day? Do you also send orders during the weekend and public holidays?

We prepare and ship orders on all working days. We don’t ship on the weekends nor on national holidays or local public holidays that might affect our warehouses in León, Barcelona or Madrid.

Can I get my order delivered to a post office box?

No, it is not possible to provide a post office box as your shipping address. For safety reasons, all the shipments require the beneficiary’s signature or the signature from an authorized person in order to receive the package.

Can I get my order delivered to a military base?

No, we are not able to ship orders to military bases for safety reasons regarding the delivery of the package.

I placed an order with more than one item and I only received a package with half of the products, is there a problem? Will I receive a second delivery?

Our inventory is distributed between different warehouses in North America, Europe and Asia, so if your order contains more than one item, you may receive more than one package.

If you already got the first package and still miss some items, these won’t take much longer to arrive. Nevertheless, if you would like to verify your shipment status, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our Customer Service team. We will be happy to help you in any way we can.

How many days do I have to return an item?

You have 14 calendar days since you receive the product to inform us about the return or to report any problem with the order. After this period is over it is not possible to request any return, as specified by the Terms and Conditions in our Returns webpage.

Is it possible to change an item?

No, we don’t make any changes. If you would like to buy a different size or item, you would need to return the purchased item and place a new order.

Once your returned order has been received, we will refund you the paid amount through the same payment method you used for your purchase. To know how to do this, refer to our webpage Returns, where we will explain to you the steps to follow.

How can I return an item?

To return an item you can go to our page Returns, where we will explain to you how to proceed step by step.

Please keep in mind that all the returned items must not have been used and they must be in perfect condition. Make sure it is safely packed in the shipping carton so that it doesn’t get damaged during transportation. If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

Is the return shipping cost at the customer’s expense?

Yes, the customer is in charge of the shipping cost of the returned items. You can choose the delivery company that you would like your item to be returned with. Please refer to our webpage Returns to return your item properly.

Can I return an online order in one of your stores?

No, we do not support the store to return online orders.

Can I return an item from the store as if it was an online order?

No, the item must be returned to the same store it was purchased.

If I return an item without its original packaging or this is damaged, will it be denied?

Yes, it is a requirement for any return that the item comes duly protected to avoid its damage during its return transportation. The returned products, either because they didn’t fit or the customer wasn’t convinced, are put back in stock. That’s why we are very demanding when it comes to evaluating the conditions of the returns.

The original box/bag is part of the product. Make sure to protect it properly so that it doesn’t get damaged during transportation. We recommend that you put the original box/bag in the thegoodwillout box or another packaging that protects it. The items to be returned must be in perfect condition. They must not have been used and they must contain all the elements (tags, packaging, etc.) included in the original shipping. Should this not be the case, it could be penalized with up to 100% of the value of the item.

When and how will I get the corresponding amount to my return?

The refund of the amount will be made once the item has been received (initial shipping costs are not included, if any). This process can take from 5 to 7 working days since we receive the item in our office until we process the return. All refunds are paid through the same payment method with which the purchase was made.

Can I return a pair of sneakers if I don’t have the original box anymore?

No, without the original box it is not possible to make a return. It is necessary that all returned products are shipped in their original packaging.

Which reasons can a return be denied for?

We won’t accept the return of any products that have been damaged, are dirty or show any evidence of use. In the same way, if the original packaging of the product would show damages (if someone wrote on top of it, glued tape or modified its tag), the return will be denied. The main reasons the return of a product will be denied are the following:

You exceed the period of 14 calendar days from receipt of the item to notify us of your decision to return it, as specified by the Terms and Conditions in our Returns webpage, or that the product or its packaging isn’t in perfect condition, as it was sent.
