I loved the Tiffany watch I got. It was in great condition and even better in person. The one thing that was a miss for me is that the description said it came with the manufacturer’s box which I assu... See more

Overall happy with my order but for spending so much, you would think shipping would at least be free. Also, listing mentioned minor scratches on hardware and it was hard to see in the picture online... See more

I have to pay for your mistake??

I was sold an item advertised at size 9. It was a European size 39, which is an uncontested US 8.5. Now I have to pay a restocking or shipping fee? For such a huge “reputable” company, this is BS.

Quick to respond to issue

Josh was so quick to respond and offered real solutions. He was very attentive and I appreciated that! 10 out of 10 for Josh!
I will say it was hard to find a place to go to for support but once I did, it was a good experience.

The worst experience ever

The worst experience ever. My money has not yet been refunded and the return took place a month ago. This place is a joke a complete scam where customers are treated terribly. I will never ever recommend this place to anyone. Will never return for anything

It’s terrible customer service

It’s terrible customer service. I was sent the wrong size sandals. it was advertised as a 36 although when the shoes arrived, they were 39. I emailed three or four times with no response and I even sent a hand written note with my return that I should not be responsible for the shipping considering it’s not my fault that they sent the wrong size and they advertise wrongly. They still took the $16 of shipping.

Shipping

The standard shipping takes longer than the 3-5 business days suggested at check out. I reached out to customer service once I realized my item would not be here in time, and even though the item had still not shipped, there was no help. UPS also was unable to assist. Feels like the purchase price should warrant better shipping.

I have purchased at least 20 items…

I have purchased at least 20 items (Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Fendi, Balenciaga, Tiffany, Christian Louboutin, etc). Every purse, belt, sneakers, clothing has been exactly how the item was described. I ♥️ doing business with The Real Real!!!!

Used Shouldn’t Cost More

I went on The RealReal expecting to save money on a Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet, but I ended up finding used pieces listed for more than buying brand new directly from the boutique 🤯. I noticed the same thing with several Cartier Love bracelets too. I understand paying a premium for rare or discontinued items, but I genuinely couldn’t make sense of these prices. Great selection to browse, but definitely compare with retail before assuming you’re getting a deal.

Absolutely 1000%

Absolutely 1000% would never do business with the Real Real again. Selling my bags with them was a very costly mistake for me yet very profitable for them. Their seller fees are ridiculously high, they will discount your items sooner than they should leaving you the loser in the deal always. One of my bags came with a pouch and they actually took away from bag and sold separately for $60, my profit was $10.00 for an example of shady practices. When I finally had enough, I requested my vintage Chanel broach returned to me when I noticed they put on discount sale for $300 off asking price, and the remaining 3 bags. They charged me for shipping back to me, $80, supposedly $20 each item yet they were all shoved into one small box .
