I ordered 2 pair of shoes, same size different designers. One fit the other did not. The return was straightforward, but the restocking fee is a bit steep and the process took way too long. Two weeks... See more

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Fair pricing, fast shipping, beautiful item. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the interior of the item has a funny smell that was not disclosed in the listing.

Bag is in terrific condition however, it does have a very strong perfume-y/musty/cigarette scent that I wish was stated prior to purchasing. Otherwise the bag is physically in the best condition I’ve... See more

Happy customer who has bought and sold on this website

I have been buying and selling items on The RealReal for a few years and I have been always pleased with the customer service and the high quality of the products available.

My one tiny nitpick is that I have tried several times to get the company to change my phone number that automatically comes up on the UPS label. I no longer have that phone number and if the company ever needed to reach me by phone it would be the wrong number.

Packaging

Just because I did not pay the additional fee for a refundable purchase does not justify careless packaging. My Bvlgari bag was forced into a box that was barely large enough, causing one side of the handle to become dented. Whoever packaged this order failed to exercise the care and professionalism expected when handling such an expensive luxury item. I am extremely disappointed with the poor packaging and lack of customer service!

As a loyal customer who has spent thousands buying and selling with you, nothing is more frustrating than finding a great piece of jewelry or clothing with NO measurements listed. This laziness hurts your sellers, costs you sales, and alienates your best customers. Please fix your listing standards!

I received the Birkin Bag

I received the Birkin Bag. Everything looks good. The condition was better than I thought and the few marks came off with a leather cleaning wipe. I love it!

Deceitful

The description of items condition was completely false. The item was far from "good" condition and pictures did not show the details of its poor condition. The zipper inside was completely broken the metal rings were GREEN /tarnished it had a huge pink stain inside and the strap was peeling. NONE of this was described or shown in pictures. It was a complete disappointment and will never trust shopping from the real again!

Great Service Purchasing and Returning

Received my package within estimated date. Sadly, I had to return my purchase due to fit and that process was equally seamless.

It's so easy

It's so easy. The RealReal sends a salesperson to your home to pick up the items you want to sell. All done.

5 stars!

My wardrobe is about 95% secondhand clothing, and The Real Real is one of my favorite sources. I've found so many fun pieces - dresses, shoes, bags. I have the most fun closet. I share my finds on IG @wearingyourboots

Photographs were not accurate and did nit show ink stains in the interior or worn leather trim. I returned the product for a refund the day I received it(over a week ago) and have received nothing from your company! Please let me know when I can expect to receive my refund! I would not recommend your company to anyone buying online purchases.
