The product does not match the product description, and I did not receive a refund, even after providing evidence. I am a new customer of Vestiaire, but after this experience, it will also be the last time.
A few weeks ago, I ordered a pair of Balenciagas. In the photos, the shoes appeared to be black, as stated in the product description under the color category and the free-text field (I still have the photos saved). However, upon receiving them, they turned out to be blue.
It's incredibly disappointing and sloppy, especially because I paid for the authentication option, and yet this mistake still went through. But hey, everyone can make a mistake, so I decided to connect with customer service politely.
After some back-and-forth chatting, the customer service representative indicated that I would get a refund if I returned them and they agreed that I was right. Otherwise, the item would be relisted. According to the representative, this should work out fine because I had sent a significant number of photos of the product next to black and blue items. So, I didn't have to worry.
Fast forward a week after the product was checked. I was informed that the refund was denied, and the product was relisted! And you won't believe it, but they listed it as Navy/blue and removed black from the description! Of course, I have the before and after of the descriptions, so I know exactly what they did. They essentially agree with me but won't admit it.
Naturally, I contacted customer service, but I received a few messages stating that the product matched the description (even though they did modify it with the listing?!). I am politely asked to wait until the shoe is sold before I get my money back, despite doing everything to prevent this (purchasing the authentication option and providing ample evidence). I disagreed with this, as I would be losing money due to their mistake if it gets sold, and I have to wait for it to be sold in the first place. After sending a few more messages, I received no further response.
I can hardly believe it. If they had just admitted their mistake and refunded the money, I would have remained a loyal customer. I was already looking around again. But after this experience, I've learned that the authentication is not what I expected, and they would rather lose a customer than retain one.
