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

Stephanie the rep I work with is wonderful! But who ever did not accept my Chanel gold wallet or marked my YSL ivory bag so low$ I am not happy with. I know, I know therealreal uses algorithms which I don't think does the consignors like me all that help/good. I miss the old days of therealreal to be frank.

But over all I guess as a company, therealreal is doing okay. Just hope the ceo/peeps at the top are not getting over paided wages/bonuses than the folks doing the actual work.

False advertisement

I got a jacket that was listed as women’s size M. When the jacket arrived it was in fact a CHILD JACKET size M. Due to it being ‘final sale’ I can’t return it. This was false advertising and a waste of my money because now I have spent my money on an item that is unusable.

First buy went well

I recently purchased a Bottega Veneta handbag. The handbag was received in great condition and matched the photos. I am very pleased and will be making another purchase soon.

I purchased a Chloe Marcie in Baby a few weeks ago and I can’t confirm it’s authentic. The leather is very firm and does not feel like calf skin. There was no follow up to see how I liked it, missing a crucial customer service touch point.
