The bag that I ordered was NWT

The bag that I ordered was NWT, but the smell was soo strong! I washed it , left it for days to air. Nothing is working. After using it once, now even my wallet got this smell of old closet. Can't use the bag even if it was practically new.

Thank you to The RealReal team.

Thank you to The RealReal team.

I’ve dealt with a lot of dishonest sellers when buying pre-owned items online, so I know how frustrating the experience can be. Over the past three months, I’ve made more than three purchases on your site, and every order has exceeded my expectations.

The shipping has always been incredibly fast, the packaging is professional, and every item has arrived clean, with no stains or obvious signs of wear. That makes shopping much more enjoyable and gives me confidence to keep coming back.

Thank you for running an honest business and providing such high-quality service. Great customer service has become surprisingly hard to find in the U.S., but your team consistently delivers an experience that many others simply can’t match.

Excellent Service and a Great Consignment Experience!

I had a wonderful experience consigning with The RealReal. From the moment I brought in my bag, everyone I interacted with was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They clearly explained the pricing process, what to expect for my payout, and kept me updated every step of the way until my bag sold.

One of my favorite parts of the experience was receiving a $200 shopping credit just for consigning. It was a great bonus, and I was able to use it toward purchasing a beautiful handbag of my choice. I also qualified for an additional $500 promotional credit after selling my bag in July, which made the experience even more rewarding.

Overall, the entire consignment process was smooth, transparent, and stress-free. I wouldn't hesitate to consign with The RealReal again, and I'll definitely recommend them to my friends and family. If you're thinking about buying or selling luxury items, I highly recommend The RealReal!

I love my Jimmy Choo’s

I loved having the welcome discount. The description was perfect and shipping was fast. The shoes were better than expected. This is my first purchased on The RealReal and my first PreLoved clothing/shoes EVER. I’m trying to be less wasteful and buy gently used items instead of purchasing new.
This fit my needs, priorities and budget! Love love love

Very disappointed with the lack adequate packaging.

My most recent experience was not so great. My order was poorly packaged. The box used was thin, flimsy and opened upon arrival to my home. My shoes were exposed to some levels of dirt & appeared to have been tampered with because the black paper wrapping was not on one of the shoes.

Fast Delivery & Excellent Fashion Pieces

I’ve been a customer of The Real Real for many years and have been very happy with my purchases, customer service, and delivery. However, I am disappointed that they started charging delivery fees no matter how much you spend, however, since they switched to UPS, they do have unbelievably fast delivery!
