Happy Tiffany & Co. shopper!

You had several of the Tiffany & Co Charm that I was looking for. Specifically- the one made in Germany. It is the original & the appropriate Tiffany blue. You kept me apprised of its dropping price as well. The purchase was super easy & it shipped very quickly. Came to my address in a nice big box, so it couldn’t get lost in the shuffle in shipping. 100% Happy!!!

Buyer Beware When Purchasing Jewelry

Buyer Beware When Purchasing Jewelry

I purchased a Cartier bracelet from The RealReal, but had to return it due to sizing issues. I was told the refund would be processed within 5–7 days and was never told about re authentication process. Unfortunately, nearly a month went by and I still had not received my refund.

Because of the delay, I filed a dispute with my bank. The bank reversed the charge and issued a temporary credit while they investigated. Shortly after, I received an email from The RealReal stating that they would not issue my refund unless I canceled the dispute and provided proof that it had been dropped.

When I contacted my bank, they explained that the merchant must process the refund first before the dispute can be closed. I shared this information with The RealReal, but they still refused, claiming that my dispute violated their terms and conditions—terms that were never clearly communicated at the time of purchase.

This experience has been extremely frustrating. At this point, it feels like my money is being held hostage. My bank has advised me to keep the dispute open while they continue their investigation.

I would strongly caution others before making high-value purchases from this company.

Please add a window to add to initial order without paying extra shipping fees. Maybe give a couple hours to add to the original order. I had no one to help me.
