I agree with others who mentioned the items will ship loose in a box with no padding. In my case it worked out and they weren’t damaged. But I agree there could easily be a lot more care taken with sh... See more

All of my purchases have been exactly what the description is. Very happy with my purchases. This is now my go too. I’ve only purchased shoes but I’m confident the clothes will also be a good purchase!

Very disappointed - feel scammed

Very disappointed, I feel scammed.

I ordered a skirt from Zimmermann at The TRR, described as GOOD condition with moderate discolouration, but was STAINED throughout, and worse still there was no mention of a BUTTON MISSING.

The button is very specific to the skirt and cannot be replaced.

I paid a fortune for the skirt, shipping and import customs charges.

Now it is TOO EXPENSIVE to return as I only have 9 days to deliver in time.

I am in the Middle East. What a waste of money... order nr. R772311336.

Customer service was super helpful

Customer service granted my request right away which was refunding a shipping fee. I had made 2 orders within minutes of each other.

Can TRR allow you to add to your order within a few hours?

Also, a big issue is why is the TRR’s shipping rate so expensive? There is only one option, as well.

Of course with clothes shopping, especially consignment clothes, you need to try on and see how it suits you or see if it is worth having a tailor help with the fit. Perhaps this is to discourage returns, but that is part of clothes shopping.

Purse arrived without the shoulder strap. Customer service will not contact me back. I have sent emails and opened dozens of chats. Purse was also listed in excellent condition and has stains and the handles are in horrible condition!!!

Nice items but sometimes the photos are unclear and measurements not reflective of how it will actually fit a body. Shipping to and from your house is way overpriced.
