Our first recommendation is to consider using our chat system to contact the seller directly*. Sellers might occasionally overlook requests, possibly due to emails landing in their spam folder, which could lead them to be unaware of your interest in buying their item. Sending a friendly reminder could prove beneficial. If you are still unable to contact the seller, don’t hesitate to reach out to us – we may be able to facilitate communication with the seller on your behalf. You will receive feedback within two days.
However, if you no longer have interest in the item, you needn’t take any action. All offers expire within three days, so you also will be automatically refunded.

With the manual search approach, you will be guided through a process where you need to input all essential details about your product.

ENVIRONMENTAL SAVINGS
Extending the lifespan of items decreases waste, promotes circularity, and preserves resources, contributing to a more sustainable fashion industry. Buying a pre-loved product reduces the likelihood of purchasing a brand new piece by 65% and thus all together reduces the long terms resources used by the fashion industry.
The environmental impact mentioned on the product page signifies the reduction in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2 eq.) emissions and water usage resulting from purchasing pre-loved BY FAR products. Specifically:
- Buying a pre-loved BY FAR bag saves approximately 19.6 kg of CO2 eq. and 0.1 m3 of water.
- Purchasing pre-loved BY FAR shoes leads to a saving of around 14.3 kg of CO2 eq. and 0.1 m3 of water.
Overall, by opting for pre-loved and sample pieces from BY FAR, consumers contribute to significantly reducing the fashion industry's long-term resource consumption and environmental footprint compared to buying brand new products.
