The dress is beautiful and exactly as described except I was led to believe that the medium would be similar to a size 8. When I received the dress, the tag said a size 6. Luckily it fit and I love... See more

Overall great selection and easy to purchase. I think image quality can be improved for most products. A lot of the angles don’t show wear appropriately.

Pony Express Speed - Still NO Delivery, anytime soon!!!

It was shipped almost a week ago, and spent all week in NY, mostly at UPS. Mow they estimate I'll receive this "July 13th" Birthday Gift" maybe by Thursday July 16ht! Ugh! To add insult to injury, while many firms offer free shipping, i had to pay for this "Pony Express" service!

Don't put the full blame on UPS. RealReal has an Account manager with UPS, and based on your volume, you should be insisting on much better timeliness than this. YOU also have a choice of carriers. So my disappointment in not having received this yet is also with RealReal!

Don't put all

The pictures and the description of items is very good, only one additional description would be beneficial, the country the item is made in, or at least show a picture of the tag “ MADE IN ????”
Otherwise this is a great site, easer friendly.

I found many of the items I hardly wore as marked good which makes no sense since there was very little or no wear on them. Very confusing as to which items you accepted and which you didn’t. Conflicting information. And no picture when I’m supposed to agree with a valuation which doesn’t make sense. Overall my experience hasn’t been great

I’m always generally pleased with my purchases. The photos for the most part are accurate but I would caution you to zoom in on the images because you are able to see smaller imperfections before you buy. For the most part the pictures are valid and clear enough to make a purchase decision but I have once or twice received an order where the image didn’t accurately reflect the condition. All in all I am mostly pleased with my purchases.

Beautiful bag but the inside was more gross than expected. I found a cough drop stuck in the corner of the pouch. Gross! The pictures are never good enough and the descriptions poor. I feel ripped off for how much I paid.

I had an excellent experience with The RealReal. The product arrived exactly as described, and it matched all of the specifications provided in the listing. The quality exceeded my expectations, and everything was authentic and in great condition.
This is my second time purchasing from The RealReal, and both experiences have been outstanding. I really enjoy shopping with this company because they consistently provide high-quality items and reliable service. I highly recommend The RealReal to anyone looking for luxury products with confidence.

I loved the Tiffany watch I got

I loved the Tiffany watch I got. It was in great condition and even better in person. The one thing that was a miss for me is that the description said it came with the manufacturer’s box which I assumed was a Tiffany watch box. But I got a blue cardboard Tiffany box and pouch which is what you’d get with a silver purchase in store. So I wish the description of the collateral was clear up front but I still am keeping the watch.

DO NOT SELL WITH THEM

DO NOT SELL WITH THEM. The initial person who I worked with was nice, but the system is chaotic and incredibly flawed. Here are a few of the things that have already gone wrong:
-It takes an insanely long time to process, so don't bother if you're in a hurry to get something sold.
-My fur coat was originally rejected, but then I click one button and suddenly it's actually worth $600? That isn't transparent as a seller at all and is incredibly unprofessional in not offering any explanation or communication around it.
-They offer a fraction of what a product is worth. I gave them my $5,000 ring and they offered me $180 for it. I also sent in a mink coat in perfect condition with the certification papers and the original receipt from when it was purchased for $4k in the 80s, and they offered me $100 for it. I could literally get more for it in yard sale.
-I had a gold ring that I sent in that never showed up in their system. No appraisal, no confirmation of it being received, nothing. They said they're sending it back, but, honestly, I'm mentally preparing for it to just be gone with how everything has gone.
-I requested my jewelry be sent back, minus the fur coat, and they processed it to send all of it back, even though I still wanted to consign it at the time. After all this, I wouldn't sell with them, no matter what commission they offered me, so I'm glad I'm (allegedly) getting everything back.

That isn't everything - I just don't want to give this any more energy than I already have. You are SO much better off selling independently online and will get WAY more. Don't do it!
