Skirt was listed as black but is actually a very dark brown. I like the skirt and will keep it but it was mislabeled. Also, delivery is a bit slow - took 10 days to get delivered. All in all satisf... See more

Incorrect sizing on website

I ordered a pair of Tory Burch sandals in a size 10. When I got sandals and tried on and they are definitely not a size 10. I own about 50 pairs of TB shoes so I know what I wear. I could not find a size marked on the sandals so I guess someone guessed as to what size they were?? I also ordered a coat. Great coat but again the website stated it was a medium. When I got it the tag says M/L. It’s kinda oversized for me but I’ll deal with it. But why not put the correct size on web page?

The Real Real sent over a wonderful person to review our belongings and scaffold me through the process of setting up an account. She was professional, warm, thorough, and a great communicator. The results seemed instantaneous - very quickly we saw our items online, and receive updates each day about sales. It has been an easy and pleasant process. Thank you Real Real!

Inproper Treatment of a Mishandling

After the carrier used by The RealReal delivered my package to the wrong home, the only compensation they gave me as a result of mishandling a $100+ order was 48 dollars, half back to the original payment half in store credit. This lack of problem solving and misplacement of my goods has created a distasteful taste in my mouth and I'm unlikely to use The RealReal in the future or recommend it to any of my friends. Incredibly disappointing experience across the board.

Because you do not refund the shipping and handling cost, I have incurred finance charge for the full amount of the refund due to an outstanding amount. The shipping cost should be charged separately in order to prevent this from happening.

The strap broke right clean off when I put the purse around my shoulder yesterday and it was only the second time I used it and it said nothing about the strap being cracked just marks on the strap or I would have never bought it …I’m very unhappy about it and it ruined my day …now I will be making payments on a purse I can’t even use

I bought a pair of Valentino ankle boots from The Real Real online store and just received them. I paid customs taxes and received a UPS tracking number indicating that the boots are very uncomfortable to wear and very poor quality. They are counterfeit. Why is their store located in California, USA, and I am receiving the shoes from China when I purchased them from their online US store.

Your are excellent TRR Tatyana

Communication is great with TRR! Tatyana, with your Consignor Concierge Team, is a real professional and very helpful.
Your Concierge Team, Stacey in Portland, Oregon, where I live, has been doing a wonderful job and is delightful to work with on consignments.

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.
