Yes. The website is the live availability list. Everything shown is either in our warehouse or on order, with lead times displayed on each product. If you'd like a spreadsheet export for a specific category or brand, get in touch and we'll send one over.

It varies by lot, and every listing says which it is. Much of our stock is brand-new first quality; we also buy clearance, ex-display and graded lots at sharper prices. Anything that isn't grade A shows its grade on the listing — if no grade is shown, it's grade A. Footwear comes boxed and clothing tagged unless the listing states otherwise. If a listing leaves you unsure, ask before you reserve and we'll confirm.

Stock is sold in size runs. You reserve a quantity on a product line and it's allocated across the available size curve pro rata — the product page shows you the exact size breakdown before you confirm, so there are no surprises. We can't hand-pick individual sizes at wholesale prices. Sizes are UK unless the listing states otherwise.

New lines go on the website as soon as they're checked in, most weeks. The mailing list is the alert channel — we send new-stock emails a few times a week; join it from your account. We don't run one-to-one WhatsApp alerts, so the mailing list is the way to be first.

The website is our complete live catalogue — if it isn't listed, we don't currently have it. We don't source to order, but we're buying every week: tell us what you're after and we'll let you know if it lands.

When you add a product to your order, you're placing a reservation, not a final purchase — nothing is paid at checkout. Once your stock is picked and packed we issue a proforma invoice by email; you pay by bank transfer and we dispatch on receipt. Each product shows an estimated lead time: some stock is in our warehouse and ready to go, some has a short lead time before it arrives with us.

You pay nothing when you reserve. Your proforma invoice arrives by email once your order is picked and packed — for warehouse stock that's typically 1-2 working days; for lines showing a lead time, it's once that stock has arrived and been checked in. If your invoice hasn't landed yet, your order simply isn't packed yet — there's nothing you need to do. Pay the proforma by bank transfer and we dispatch.

Our standard MOQ is 8 units per product line. If the available stock is lower than 8 units, the remaining quantity becomes the MOQ.

Yes, we have flexibility on larger orders. Prices already reflect wholesale trade levels, but if you're placing a sizeable order or buying regularly, get in touch. Email info@sportswholesale.co.uk or WhatsApp us with the SKUs you're interested in and we'll come back to you quickly.

Bank transfer only — we don't take card, PayPal or Amex. Bank details are on your proforma invoice.

Sign in and open your orders page — every reservation is listed with its current status. We also email you when your order is confirmed and again when it's invoiced. If something looks stuck, message us with your order number and we'll check.

Dispatch times depend on the lead time shown on each product page. For stock already in our warehouse, we aim to ship within 1-2 days of receiving payment. Larger palletised orders may take a little longer. We'll give you a clear dispatch window when we confirm your invoice.

UK delivery is priced at checkout: £10, or 2% of the order value for larger orders (plus VAT). Pallet deliveries and non-UK shipping are quoted individually on your proforma. We don't inflate shipping, the figure you see is what the carrier charges us.

Yes — collection from our warehouse (Unit 16, Acton Park Industrial Estate, London W3 7QE) is available by arrangement once your order is invoiced and paid. We're a working warehouse rather than a cash-and-carry, so there's no browsing aisle — if you'd like to visit and talk stock, make an appointment first and we'll be glad to see you.

We ship within the UK. For all other countries, terms are ex works from our UK warehouse. We also hold stock in an EU warehouse where we can arrange EU-wide shipping. Note that the product range differs between the two warehouses, get in touch for the EU price list.

Yes. We ship within the UK and offer ex works collection for international buyers on our UK stock. Import VAT and duty in your destination country are your responsibility as normal. We also hold stock in an EU warehouse, so if you're buying from within the EU, ask us for a separate price list. All EU warehouse orders are fulfilled locally, meaning no import duties.

Prices on the website are exclusive of VAT. VAT is added on your proforma invoice where it applies: standard-rated items at 20%, children's footwear and clothing zero-rated under HMRC rules. Export and ex-works orders can be zero-rated with the usual proof of export.

No, VAT registration is not a requirement. We welcome newer businesses and sole traders reselling on marketplaces. If you are VAT registered, let us know your VAT number.

Yes, 100% authentic. All stock is sourced through established trade channels: authorised distributors, brand clearance programmes, and long-standing trade partners in the UK and EU. Every item ships with the appropriate paperwork and provenance.

Every delivery is checked on intake against supplier documentation and manufacturer references. We can provide supporting paperwork for trade buyers who need it.

Yes. Every Sports Wholesale invoice includes the fields Amazon typically requires for brand ungating:

• Our VAT number (GB 424528208)
• Our Companies House number (13570843)
• Our registered business address
• The dated transaction
• Itemised SKU, quantity and unit price per line

Sports Wholesale is a trade-only wholesaler. We supply independent sportswear and footwear retailers, online sellers, and clearance and outlet operators. We do not sell to private consumers. If you are a business buying stock to resell, you qualify.

Click Create account in the header, add your email and password, and you're in. We just ask that you're a business buying stock to resell.

Our trade returns policy covers incorrectly picked items, manufacturer faults, and misdescribed stock. Notify us within 7 days of delivery and we'll arrange the return. We do not accept returns for change-of-mind on wholesale reservations. By the nature of the trade, you're committing to stock at the point of invoice. See the full Returns Policy page for the formal terms.

No. We buy stock, hold it in the UK, and sell it as a wholesaler should. We are not a marketplace or a dropship broker. If you're operating a dropship model you're welcome to buy from us and ship to your end customers, but the stock sits on your side. We don't warehouse on anyone's behalf.
