Lovely and unique store concept. Especially keen on the shop exclusive own brand stuff. Staff was pretty nice also. Cheers Mike! Gonna come back next year ✌?

I ordered a pair of CROCS from Bodega, and it turned out to be a very unpleasant experience. The CROCS were priced at $90, and shipping cost me $40. I placed the order, thinking that was the final amount. However, when the package arrived in Israel, I was asked to pay an additional 150 USD for extra charges, including $504.76 for shipping and insurance that I was never informed about during the checkout process!

Furthermore, when I contacted Bodega, they refused to help and wouldn’t review the documents, despite clear discrepancies. I even found another person who ordered the exact same pair of CROCS, and they didn’t encounter these unexpected charges!

UPS also failed to provide adequate support, refusing to recalculate the fees, citing Israeli laws, despite the obvious miscalculations. This left me feeling cheated and frustrated.

I do not recommend Bodega if you’re planning an international purchase, especially to Israel. Make sure you are aware of all potential costs upfront, or you might end up in the same situation as I did.

(Edited - see below). To be avoided. They cannot manage stock and the likelihood you'll have to micromanage your order and do their job for them is probably not worth the risk unless you have lots of time. Just look elsewhere and find stockists for the brands you like - plenty of stores can run a spreadsheet. Further, they have false claims - at this moment they advertise free domestic shipping over 100usd but it isn't true. Try yourself. They "discount" it from 20 to 10usd. Why bother?

Edited: increasing to two stars for prompt customer service. They acknowledged the shipping problem and refunded the extra. But the advice remains. When so many small, incredible boutiques are closing, why support businesses that treat you as a number and who routinely cancel items in your order at whim citing disparately located warehouses!? How are you supposed to choose where to buy if anything can just get canceled unilaterally? Many small stores that still offer competitive prices would never do this and can adequately run a spreadsheet.

It's like a hidden gem in The row. It is a space that I love and the interior of food stores in Mexico and Spain is very impressive.

El problema de esta tienda está en el servicio de ventas online, porque si realmente conoces de tenis puedes diferenciar uno real de uno de imitación al tenerlo a la mano y no lo comprarías, cosa que no puedes hacer en una compra online, que hasta que no tienes tú producto a la mano no puedes ver los detalles en físico, hace unos días compré algunos pares en el sitio web de Bodega y al recibir el envío a simple vista pude identificar un par fake y tras una revisión un poco más meticulosa atrapé otro par de imitación, es vergonzoso que una tienda con tantos años de experiencia en el mundo de la reventa de sneakers caiga en esto de vender a los clientes que depositamos la confianza en su marca tenis de imitación, la posibilidad de devolver los pares con los que estoy inconforme no la tengo por el hecho de que vivo en Cuba. No recibo mi compra de primera mano, si no de un tercero, mi hermano, que es el encargado de hacerme las compras y de traerme los artículos para ponerlos en venta en mi tienda en mi país, no sé realmente que pasó aquí con esta compra porque hasta la fecha siempre estuve satisfecho con mis compras en la tienda, espero que algún miembro de Bodega vea mi reseña, me responda y aclare mi inquietud.

Great speakeasy sneaker store. I visited the bodega in Boston a few years back and this store is much bigger and cooler. Lots of sneaker options and prices also. They have a great collection of T-shirts.
