Thought, I'm very satisfied of the fast shipping, and good deals offers by the company,, I'm not feeling the same when it comes to the returns. It seems like not just the returning fee, around $16, is deducted but also the percentage that was given when I purchased them. Other than that, I'm happy being TRR customer.
Awful company for consignors. They take advantage by pricing the items very low and almost immediately discounting them. Instead of the RealReal getting a commission as mediators, they give a commission to the seller. When I saw how much they discounted (and immediately sold) my item, I asked them to return the rest. They charge $15 per item to return them. Additionally, they keep $10 off the monthly check as a "check by mail fee". Their model is not working and the customers are punished for it. Stay away!
Great selection and prices. So easy to order, and return if necessary. Super helpful and friendly customer service.
