I ordered 2 pair of shoes, same size different designers. One fit the other did not. The return was straightforward, but the restocking fee is a bit steep and the process took way too long. Two weeks... See more

Fair pricing, fast shipping, beautiful item. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the interior of the item has a funny smell that was not disclosed in the listing.

Bag is in terrific condition however, it does have a very strong perfume-y/musty/cigarette scent that I wish was stated prior to purchasing. Otherwise the bag is physically in the best condition I’ve... See more

Don’t even bother shopping with The…

Don’t even bother shopping with The RealReal. They’ll happily take your money, then apparently treat you like a criminal for making returns-even when the returns are because they sent damaged items, wrong sizes, or listings with inaccurate measurements.

My account suddenly stopped allowing purchases, with no warning or explanation, just a fakelooking “payment failed” message even though my cards work everywhere else. I also made a prior purchase to qualify for their site promotions and now can’t even use them.

If this is how they handle repeat customers, buyers should think twice before spending a dime here.

Great Service

Perry not only made it my return process but selling process super easy. They walked me through everything and was very friendly. Even went to extra mile to make sure I knew when my items were received and seeing if I needed anything else. This is what great customer service looks like. Thank you, Perry!

My experience with The RealReal

I love the item I got and it was an excellent value. I also have friends who love this site. I had an earlier good experience. I will definitely use the site again. Items like the one I bought are art pieces in the fashion world that deserve and should experience a long life. I am glad this site exists to make it possible.

Fantastic first experience

Good experience- I was worried about authenticity, but when the purse I ordered arrived, I was able to see it was genuine. I appreciated the fast shipping, the packaging of the purse through shipping, and overall customer experience. I did pay the extra money so I could return the bag if needed, but am ultimately keeping it!

Gucci soho bag better than expected

Gucci soho bag better than expected. Impeccable condition, very satisfied. Paid more than others on RealReal for this bag but happy with purchase - as described and photo representative of condition. On time delivery too.

Great experience with this company

Great experience with this company. Item was just as described. Very happy with my purchase. Customer service is also fast and helpful when you need them to help you resolve a problem. My only concern was with the shipping carrier UPS. They delivered my package to the wrong house and tried to say it was my house. I scattered the whole neighborhood until I found my package at someone else's door step.

Beautiful Necklace Ordered

The jewelry piece I ordered was absolutely beautiful and in pristine condition. I would absolutely endorse The RealReal for any items that an individual is contemplating on purchasing.
