I love TheRealReal

I love TheRealReal! I can always find quality items at a great price. Their customer service is great too. I received a pair of shoes where the hassle was missing and mistakenly not disclosed, and I was refunded immediately after shipping the shoes back (I did not have to pay to return), plus given my shipping costs back. I was very impressed!

I don’t know what happened to Real but…

I don’t know what happened to Real but the sweaters I received have piling all over so it just can’t be an excellent condition, very good yes, but excellent is misleading. Unfortunately, I can’t return them because the sale was final. I am disappointed because I was buying regularly from Real and consigning.

Time and again…

Time and again, the RealReal has been the “real deal” for me. The shipping for this particular order was 5-days earlier than the original estimated arrival - that’s super fast! I am very grateful for this platform, and I share my positive (flawless) experiences with friends and acquaintances. The necklace I received is authentic. Thank You💜

Great pants

Love these pants that go with a matching jacket I already have. Pants are like new, but as expected will need to be altered.

The Real Real is for real.

The Real Real did everything they said.
Product was exactly as advertised.
UPS trip was a little scary, too many stops for that package. I paid shipping give better options.

Wallet snap closure not working properly

The wallet I purchased was advertised as “Very Good” condition but when I received it, the clasp does not work well. It barely snaps shut and the closure is weak. It feels like it can unsnap easily and it’s not sturdy at all. I’m extremely disappointed with this purchase and unfortunately cannot return since I opened the package after I came back from vacation. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.
