# Is Novelship a retailer?

No, Novelship is a global marketplace, not a traditional retail store. We do not own the inventory; instead, we connect you with a vetted network of collectors and professional sellers worldwide. When you order, the seller ships the item to our center first. Our specialists physically verify its authenticity and condition, shipping it to you only once we are certain it is 100% genuine. This ensures you can safely access rare items with guaranteed quality control.
