Consignment relations are non-existent. I refused a price drop in writing, was assured my item would be returned. Item was sold at lower price and cannot get a response from anyone.

Met with rep, sent over all best pieces,got no notice when listings went up, and 2 items sold immediately. Checked the price - was set at a fraction of exact same item currently for sale elsewhere and of the exact item sold on RR. Wrote a complaint and never even received answer.

I purchased two LV handbags one of them is in very bad condition when they said it's in very good condition, the leather stinks really bad and the strap completely ripped off. I contacted customer service but they just ignored me. DONT BUY FROM THIS SITE

Customer Service is a nightmare. I sent in items two weeks ago to sell and still cannot get them to confirm they were received. The luxury manager doesn't get back to me. I'm not consigning here ever again. I had a big box of more items to send them, but I'm going to use Vestiaire Collective instead.

There are lots of choices and some great offerings at RealReal. Their sales are pretty good. Their customer service is really lousy and they seem to want to hunt for exuses not to help you or find technicalities in why they can't give you the promotions that they tried so hard to promote.

I consigned with the Real Real and sold pair of 750.00 shoes. It's been 2months and still haven't received my money. Keep calling and they say they will handle it but I'm still waiting.

Bought 2 bags. Both are crap, seriously. Spent $4000. I've returned on because it was so bad that I suspect it's a fake. The other, upon close inspection was ripped on the inside. WTF.

Once you place an order, they make it impossible to change it or cancel it. Virtually no customer service. They list a phone which is not answered. Their practices are very deceptive. Not worth it in my opinion.

I just purchased a Fendi belt which is clearly fake. Their authentication process is obviously flawed, if it exists at all. DO NOT BUY anything you are not prepared to lose your money on. They are deserving of ZERO STARS

Just bought three designer purses, and one is definitely a fake. Their authentication process is a joke, after doing more research, they have tons of fakes on their site. Do not shop here and make an expensive regret.

I used to spend thousands of $$ a month here. Their customer service is a wreck. I quit shopping there when they wouldn't refund my $600 after returning some items. Beware.

Buyer Beware If you can authenticate the items you purchase (which is suppose to be what they’re “experts” do ) you can find some deals

It may be good for shoppers, but do not bother consigning there. It would be better just to donate your stuff.
