Lots of strange charges to places around LA, California (where we are not residing or visiting) after placing an order on RueLaLa. Do not buy from them. SCAM. Whether I get my merchandise or not, I will not use them again. Poshmark has no problems, ebay had no problems... RueLaLa is a RUSE...
Tip for consumers:
It's a RUSE, a SCAM.

They sell your credit card to people after you buy from them. Discover told me how they think it works. Do you use RUSE la la. . . . . (ruelala.com)

Wish I'd read the reviews of others before I ordered from Rue La La which has been a total waste of time and money. Very slow & inefficient and the so-called customer service link is useless - they just lie. In the end I've received something that did not arrive in time, is not what I wanted, and cannot be returned. The whole experience has been horrendous - stay clear!

I put 2 items in my cart; but I can't check out. I'm trapped in an infinite loop by coding bugs. I even reset my PayPal (Canada?) account when I got forced there, but I really just wanted to use my Mastercard. But no such luck. I suspected I would "rue" the hours I just spent trying to get this site to work. I'm fed up with trying to get it to recognize the 14-character password I gave it (with confirmation!). Many seem to agree they're not at alpha-version yet, neither code nor customer service interactions. Good luck! I sha'n't be back for a (long) while.

I purchased a Christian Louboutin sneaker from them on Jan 23. After wearing it twice, the CL Paris label fell off. I went to the CL store and asked for suggestions on which repair shop I can use. The store told me the sneaker is fake. So I called Ruelala. They told me it's over their 90 days warranty and there is nothing they can do (now is July). Lesson learned... this site sells fake goods. I spent about $800 plus tax, I should just buy it from Neiman and pay $200 more for a real one. Don't buy from them!

Got a wrong size jacket. One rep told me either it was a mistake or when ran out of the size and sent me another size. Whattt? They offered a $50 credit for the inconvenience. Yeah i will shop there really soon. What a waste of time spending on phone for unhelpful responses.

They sent the wrong order, and my item is now out of stock. To add salt to the injury, I must be inconvenienced by re-boxing the wrong order and taking it to a FedEx store before Ruelala will even give my money back. I will never shop there again.

I purchased a leather handbag for $99.99. Original price was $400. The zipper was super cheap quality. Then after using it for only a few weeks, the strap broke. I emailed their customer service and was told because the purchase was more than 30 days ago they couldn't issue a refund. The handbag was definitely not worth the original $400 price or even the reduced price of $99.99. I have better quality handbags that cost me $30 at Kohl's! I will never buy from Rue La La again!
Tip for consumers:
Don't buy their low quality stuff that they claim is high quality "designer" stuff.

They sell fake. If you go do more research you will know I am not the only purchased fake good. There is great amount of people purchased fake. The worst case is the one I brought was new. I only found out now that I try to resell it. Don't be fool like. Used a fake bag for a couple years.

Yes. Don’t buy from such scamming companies.

I ordered a product from this site as a gift. It has three shipping options. I picked over night because i needed it fast, the site said one day and then i received an email that said 3 days later. That isn't overnight. It arrived in the same time as regular shipping and they would not refund me the difference. If you want to be scammed order from them.
Tip for consumers:
Don’t order from them they scam you on shipping

I'm disappointed to see products on their site that are found elsewhere cheaper.
They have a toy targeting game that they claim is worth $300. They sell it for $50.
" Shooting Game Toy for Age 6, 7, 8,9,10+ Years Old Kids, Boys - 2pk Air Guns & Shooting Target"
I bought it on amazon for $30.
I can't trust their marketing anymore.

I recently bought these beautiful sunglasses. It was
By far the best purchase. Comfortable, and they
Come with a very nice protective case, I got them
For $80 alls, It is important to know that sunglasses
Have an immeasurable protective function against
UV rays. They protect our eyes from serious eye
Diseases and are the best protection against
Harmful sun rays.

I ordered over $2500 of home decor. Fed Ex left some of the at the wrong address. The rest was never found. This includes 2 rugs & some wall hangings. Loss Prevention said "too bad". I have photos of items & Ring door bell as proof. "Dispute it on your credit card" is the only advice they had for me. Theft!

This company didn't send my husband's b-day coat to my address as stated. I have a door bell cam and neighbor watch who would of held package if left at door. I called & was told they'd investigate the shipping issue and get back to me. No on has called or replied to any of my emails.and I have paid $267. Plus for this coat. This company located in Boston, MA is a RIP off and should be shut down because of the ratings, bad service, non deliverable items and poor refund. If I knew all this before hand I would of never dealt with this company. Need to read the reviews first. I learned of this company through wendy William show. Bad ideas I'm going to reach out to her. She should know not a company to support at all. I really am disappointed and don't want to take this loss.

I purchased 2 Thairapy 365 blowdryers from Ruelala and what I received were incomparable to the one I currently have. The ones from Ruelala are FAKE! They were heavy, noisy, without infrared light for scalp and folicle therapy! Do not buy from this site!
Tip for consumers:
That it scored poorly with Trustpilot!

I purchased some clothing that was on sale only discover that one set did not fit me as expected. I returned it and shipped it back. When I checked my account, the refund was about $6. The merchandise cost $16. Rue la la has a refund charge of $10. I am done! No more shopping from this retailer for me.
Tip for consumers:
Beware of the refund charge!

This site is advertising authentic LV bags however I now have 2 that have been confirmed fake. I had no idea until I tried to get it fixed and was told by the store they could not work on it due to it not being a legit Louis Vuitton bag. This is an issue on several levels.
Tip for consumers:
If you purchase from this company verify and authenticate within 30days and return if yours turns out to also be fake within that time frame they will not return after 30days even if they are in fact practicing false advertising.

I was actually a long time customer and extremely disappointed with their customer services and regretted for doing business with this organization. I have placed an order and the order was not shipped for over 18 months where they already charged me. As I contacted the customer service, they have stated that the order is showing as shipped in 2020 on their system, so they are sorry for what happened but do not take responsibility as a mistake made on their end. When I reviewed the tracking detail, it showed that the shipping company did not received the order till 2021 summer. I have made multiple complained and requested refund of the items. I checked for several weeks after I shipped back the items and didn't see any refund. After another call with the customer service, I found out that they issued me a credit on the account, which I will no longer use. What a big waste of time and money!

Very bad site. Items sold by site are usually more expensive then actual price on original sites when they have sales. Customer service was horrible. Only canned generic replies, they don't even read what you write. Sent 5 emails about a problematic shipment received 5 worded exactly they same from 5 different associate. Phone service is buggy and when it worked could get in touch with a real person. Probably the worst out of all the flash sale sites.

Great service. All items were as described and even better than expected. Timely shipping. I am definitely going to order again. Just wish there was more makeup sales and free shipping when you order a certain amount like 75 or 100 dollars would be nice. However overall would recommend.

Item ordered on 11/28/14, received email on same day confirming order and stating delivery to be "on or before" 12/11/14 and I'd receive a confirmation when "it leaves their hands". Called their 888 number today and they do not know when or if the product ordered will be shipped. They quoted some problem with their supplier. I have requested an email stating what our phone conversation was about, but have not received one as yet. Since I used PayPal for this purchase, I'll wait another few days and if nothing arrives, I'll contact PayPal for a refund.
UPDATE: 12/17/2014 Finally arrived - 6 days late! - 26 days since order placed. I wish I had reviewed this company first. I don't think they actually have inventory, they obtain what's requested and then ship it via slow boat.
Tip for consumers:
Check the reviews first and then buyer beware!

I have been a heavy user of rue la la for 10 years now--spent a lot of money, gotten some very good values. Their shipping is uneven... sometimes things arrive earlier than they tell you at purchase and you may not be home to receive, often they are late and the delays can be lengthy. They also pack and ship the wrong items too often. Two lessons i've learned over the years--always check prices on other websites, as sometimes amazon or overstock every day prices are lower (mostly for home stuff not clothing). And ignore their way-too-frequent sale announcements as their prices seem to remain about the same, they almost never actually mark things down

I've shopped in Rue La La for more than 2 years, and to be honest I'm pretty satisfied with it. Their customer service is pretty responsive and good, an example would be there was one time I made an order, but soon found out the size is wrong, I tried to contact the customer service and cancel the order, and they replied within 5 minutes and helped cancel the order without charging my card! However I've never purchased any expensive items except for a Ferragamo bag for my mom. Super good quality. I'd say I'll try not to purchase "big" item from it just to be more cautious in the future, considering all the comments I've seen about it here.
