Selection of high end designer clothes and luxury bags is amazing. However, a $64 shipping to Canada is outrageous. Please source another method of shipment (not D.H.L.) that’s not an exorbit... See more

everything I ordered was as expected

everything I ordered was as expected. I am careful with what I order as you have to pay for shipping and if you need to return something- you have to pay for that as well. Because of this, there are many things I would not order on the site- such as pants.

Excellent Product & Fast Shipping

The delivery was much faster than I expected. Everything was excellent, the quality, condition, and packaging were perfect. The shoes arrived exactly as described. I’m very happy with my purchase and would definitely buy again.

Ron has been so nice and helpful

Ron has been so nice and helpful, and the reply was so fast. I was bummed about all of the complications with shipping to Spain but this experience with customer service leaves a sweet note.

I will not be back !

Apparently Realreal does not realize or care that the factory packaging of a Montblanc fountain pen has value to collectors. They described the item that I purchased as “Condition: Excellent “ The pen itself was in excellent condition. The cardboard box was in substandard condition with what looks like years of shelf ware. The interior of the presentation box was dirty and stained. None of this damage was mentioned on the listing. Would not have payed as much as I did had I known. Item arrived carelessly packed. An expensive lesson. I will not return.
