Overall happy with my order but for spending so much, you would think shipping would at least be free. Also, listing mentioned minor scratches on hardware and it was hard to see in the picture online... See more

Not impressed

For my very first purchase, not impressed. The item arrived with a horrible odor that was not disclosed on the listing of the item. I have tried tirelessly for 5 days to get rid of the stench with no luck. The smell is so bad, it makes me want to vomit every single time I pick it up.

Very clearly was a Rent the Runway article....

Very clearly was a Rent the Runway dress (barcode was still attached to the tag....) and was described as "excellent - no visible signs of wear" when the underwire was sticking out of the bust in three places and the rubber at the neckline was crumbling. If i wanted to buy from rent the runway I would just do that; not sure why the Real Real accepts these items!?!?!?

My item was rated excellent and it was not. The design has stretch marks on it and fabric is pilling up. - it clearly was worn washed and dried a lot.

Very good selection

Very good selection of the product I wanted. It took some time and effort, but I found one in exceptional condition at a decent price.

Negatives: Amazon has spoiled me. I hate paying for shipping, especially on an expensive item.

During my search period you sent me way too many emails and texts and ads on social media. At one point I got so annoyed by all of it, that I stopped shopping with you.
