FAQ
Showcase specialises in delivering luxury sample sales, working with the world’s leading brands both online and in-store to our members. Here’s how you can take your Showcase experience:
1. Log in to the showcase.co website.
2. Browse the events page to view and book your chosen sample sale.
3. From the event booking page, choose your preferred time slot and complete your booking.
4. For in-store events, your ticket will be allocated to your unique barcode and sent to your registered email. This can also be found in the ‘My Bookings’ section of your account. At the time of your booked time slot, please present your unique barcode to the team upon arrival.
For online events, there will be a unique link for you to use to access the online store and shop the sale. This link will only be active on the date and time of your booked time slot and is restricted to your showcase.co member account. At the time of your booked time slot, click your unique URL to access the sale. The online store does not have queues! Shop quickly to avoid disappointment. And, you will need to complete any checkouts within your booked time slot or you will lose your basket.
Q: What is a Showcase sample sale?
A: A Showcase sample sale lasts from 1 to 5 days, providing our members with access to highly discounted designer items. Stock is provided directly from the luxury brands we work with. This can consist of this season’s excess wears or pieces from previous seasons and genuine samples.
In online sales, where faulty, damaged or seconds items are available, this will be detailed in the item’s description. To enable us to offer the same high discounts online, we operate a very strict refund policy.
Q: How do I shop at a Showcase sample sale?
A: Showcase members are able to book events and select a dedicated time slot. As Showcase offers tiered membership options, not all time slots will be available to each member. This helps us to crowd control and ensure the sales remain accessible for all members.
For online sales, you must shop and checkout out during your allocated time slot or you will risk losing your basket.
Q: What memberships are available?
A: Our membership tiers include our General (in-store only), Priority (in-store and online), and VIP (early access for in-store and online).
Q: Why is Priority or VIP membership better than General?
Our brand partners only give us a limited amount of stock in limited sizes. The sooner you access the sale the wider range of products will be available for you to purchase. Priority and VIP members have regular access to online events with preferred time slots.
Q: How long is my membership?
A: All memberships are valid for 12 months.
Q: How do I cancel my membership?
A: We are sorry to see you go. Please email [email protected] to cancel your membership. Alternatively, your membership will automatically end at the end of the 12 months and not be renewed.
Q. What are the benefits of the General tier?
A: The General tier provides all members with general access to our exclusive sample sales in-store and is completely free. All general access is provided towards the end of the event and is subject to specific brand requirements.
Access will be limited to the following:
For a one day event: Access is limited to up to 2 hours*
Two day events: Access is limited to up to 4 hours*
Three day events: Access is limited to up to 4 – 6 hours*
Three to five day events: Access is limited to at least one full day*
Q: Can General tier members access online sales?
A: Normally, no as our brands give us access to strictly limited and private offers that they don’t want available to the public on the internet.
During Covid-19 social distancing regulations, we have arranged an exception which allows general members to shop online. Please not that as with in-store events, only time slots towards the last period or the last day of the sale will be available.
Q: What are the benefits of the Priority tier?
A: The Priority tier provides members with priority access to our exclusive sample sales both in-store and online. As a priority member, you will get access to the first available time slots after the VIP preview has ended as well as access to all General times slots. At just £2 per month paid annually, this provides you with the best opportunity to grab the best deals.
Q: What are the benefits of the VIP tier?
A: Our VIP tier is reserved for the most loyal Showcase members. VIP is limited in numbers and candidates undergo an internal vetting process. VIPs are rewarded with first preview of our events and exclusive access to VIP dedicated brands. This applies to both online and in-store events.
Q: How can I become a VIP member?
A: VIP memberships are strictly limited in number. Please contact us on [email protected] for more information.
Q: I cannot see the online store on the website. How do I access it?
A: Online sales are not available for public access as they are restricted to your member account. They become available when you click your unique ticket link in your confirmation email or by accessing the My Bookings section. Once you are in the online store you only have until your time slot ends to shop and checkout your basket.
Q: Can I share my online account?
A: Please do not share your account details with others. Online store access is controlled through your Showcase member account and for your personal use only. Multiple baskets, browsers or tabs could result in a loss of your shopping basket.

Q: Are all sizes available?
A: All stock availability will be dependent upon the brand. Please check specific listings as items will be limited in style and size.
