While most orders ship on-time, your order could experience shipping and/or fulfillment delays due to various reasons beyond our control. All delivery times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Shipments may be affected by weather-related delays, carrier limitations or other events outside of our control.

Estimates below are only applicable to the contiguous US and do not include international shipping, PO boxes or military bases unless otherwise stated.

Standard items

The majority of GOAT items––except those listed as “Instant”––are shipped first to one of our facilities to be authenticated and verified before being delivered to you. It typically takes 7-10 business days for these items to be delivered to a buyer located in the US. This allows time for us to receive the order from the seller, authenticate and verify the item and then ship it to you. In some cases it may take up to 30 days for GOAT to receive, authenticate and ship an item to you.

Instant items

Items that are labeled “Instant” are pre-verified and authenticated and ship directly from our facilities to you. It typically takes 3-5 business days for an “Instant” item ordered before 11:00 AM PT with standard shipping to be delivered to a buyer located within the contiguous US. For orders placed after 11:00 AM PT, it typically takes 4-6 business days with standard shipping for the item to be delivered to a buyer located in the contiguous US.

These estimates exclude deliveries to non-US addresses, PO boxes and military bases.

Instant items with Next Day shipping

Next Day shipping is available for most “Instant” items and can be shipped to addresses located in the contiguous US (excluding PO boxes and military bases). It typically takes 1 business day for an “Instant” item ordered before 11:00 AM PT with Next Day shipping to be delivered to a buyer located in the contiguous US. It takes approximately 2 business days for an “Instant” item ordered after 11:00 AM PT with Next Day shipping to be delivered to a buyer located in the contiguous US.

These estimates exclude deliveries to non-US addresses, PO boxes and military bases.

Order Upgrade (Priority)

Order Upgrade (Priority) is an optional shipping upgrade for eligible orders of sneakers purchased with standard shipping that is available only to buyers located in the 48 contiguous states, excluding PO boxes and military bases. With Order Upgrade (Priority), your order will receive priority processing and Next Day shipping once it arrives at one of our facilities for verification. 

After upgrading your order, it will typically take 1-3 business days for the order to be delivered.

Please note that if your item fails verification, you will automatically receive a refund for the upgrade back to your original payment method.

Apparel and accessory items

Some apparel and accessory items have been pre-verified and can ship directly to you from one of our select sellers or retailers. Other apparel and accessory items, however, are shipped to us first for authentication and verification before being delivered to you. It typically takes 4-8 business days for an apparel or accessory item to be delivered to a buyer located in the contiguous US (excluding PO boxes and military bases).

International orders

For international orders, delivery times vary due to customs. See “What international shipping models does GOAT use?” for more information.
