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.

Exactly as described

Luckily, the item I purchased was exactly as described and even came in. It’s authentic box. The price was awesome. I’m super excited to wear it! Shipping time was a little over a week, which is on the slow end for most of my packages, but arrived in impeccably nonetheless.

I have been contemplating buying from this website for over 10 years, and I finally decided to make my purchase. I am very pleased with the items I received. Everything exceeded my expectations, and I’m so happy I finally gave them a try! ❤️

Professional and courteous staff

I contacted Customer Service with an issue I had with my purchase the day I received it. They immediately addressed my concern and offered a partial refund, which I gladly accepted. They were very kind, courteous, and professional! I love both handbags I’ve purchased and highly recommend this company.

Tag pictures

Would love if you guys included tag pictures and fabric content pictures with every item. Love the sweater I got but it was NOT the size you wrote on the listing. It was in fact an XS/S and you marked it as an XL. Glad I took the risk, since I’m a size small anyways.

Such a bad experience for me

Such a bad experience for me. I bought my jimmy choo shoes for $2200 and I got $350 for them. I wore them for maybe 2 hours max at my wedding for walking down the aisle and photos. Such a shame. I wish I had the ability to agree with the pricing.

Unacceptable condition of the dress

The dress I bought for my daughter’s wedding had a huge stain on it. That should have been noted in the condition of the dress but you guys listed it in good condition. Now I have to pay for pay to return a dress that isn’t even wearable. That is not good business.

I recently placed my first clothing…

I recently placed my first clothing order with The RealReal and was genuinely impressed. I purchased four sweaters from Vince and Theory, including three cashmere sweaters and a wool/cashmere blend, at prices ranging from about $16–$25 each.

All four arrived in the condition described, and I was especially pleased with the quality of the cashmere pieces. The photographs and condition descriptions gave me enough information to feel comfortable purchasing secondhand, and the order arrived well packaged.

I’ve shopped other resale sites for years, but The RealReal has been a pleasant surprise for higher-quality clothing at prices that can be remarkably reasonable if you’re willing to search. I’ve already placed another order.

My only advice to other shoppers is to read the individual condition notes and measurements carefully, particularly on final-sale items. Overall, though, this order was an excellent experience and I’m very happy with what I received.
