A seller sold a different item then was listed. An hour after the order was placed I reached out to customer service to cancel and order a different item but they ignored me for four days. So did the seller. Once I finally talked to someone they said that there was nothing they could do, and that no one was to be held accountable for a seller selling me the wrong item. Now I have essentially been bullied into buying an item I do not and never wanted. Do not buy from this site, they do not have the customer’s best interest in mind.

I ordered a bag that came with 2 straps and it arrived with only 1. The bag was listed as being in excellent condition and arrived looking like someone had taken a butter knife to the front of the bag. I ordered a bag in the medium size and when it arrived it was quite clearly the small size.They should really have easier access the customer service and make their website easier to navigate to help resources.

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST ONLINE SHOPPING SITE EVER!! PLEASE READ ALL THE REVIEWS FROM THIS COMPANY HUNDREDS OF HORRIBLE EXPERIENCES WITH THIS COMPANY I HAPPEN TO BE ONE OF THEM!! It's been going on a month and they still won't refund my money due to seller not sending item. All they offer is drone responses and emails. And according to all the other reviews I read this company needs to be reported to the better business bureau and be shut down!

I used to buy from vestiare collective until I faced my first problem. I bought a bag but the delivery company could not give me the parcel as the address was incorrect because a missprint of Vestiaire Collective and they returned it to Vestiare Collective. After 3 months still fighting with them to get my money back, basically 600€, quite a lot. Terrible Customer Service and no solution at this point. No bag and no money, I feel cheated. I wont recommend it to anyone. Save your money. Buy cheap, you pay dear

Try cancelling an order a few minutes after you make it. Not possible. I spent 45 minutes waiting for support. Support basically said "sorry, can't help". Emails are 72 hour response. Phone calls will be disconnected with a message that reads "we can't help". Their claim - you ordered from an individual seller. "you have to contact that seller." How? "You have to leave comments on the web page for the item you purchased. Maybe they will see it and maybe they will cancel the order." In simple terms, do not expect any customer support or help from them. Avoid this web site and look other places. They are information down only and do not invite or want customer feedback. If it takes writing on reviews.io to get feedback, than something is fundamentally wrong with this website.

The worst absolutely worst customer service and app has a lot of glitches ! I purchased an item but it did not pass quality control. it gave me an option to cancel the order . I tried numerous times to Cancel but it gave an error code . So I called customer service . The rep said no problem he can take care of it . Instead he processed the order as I was checking online . I was horrified and told him that the order was processed ! He immediately apologized and said he didn’t know why that happened and he will send correspondence to higher department and not to worry . Order will be cancelled . Well that was a lie ! For 3 days I called at lest 7 times . Sent requests via app regarding the order and errors made . No luck no response . The phone doesn’t even connect me , recording puts me on hold then cuts me off ! Emails are not answered ! Horrible horrible service .

If I could give 0 I would! Awful seller experience! They can’t authenticate real item from fake. They started to charge buyers extra authenticate fees a few months ago but have no real expert, real Chanel expert can spot a real Chanel label and their tweed quality easily!!!!! I send an 200% authentic guaranteed Chanel jacket to them and they cannot authenticate it, so I sent a screenshot of billing info to them, and also requested them to have this jacket authenticate by any Chanel boutique or trusted third party authentication. WHY don’t you have it authenticate somewhere else?? You have no real experts at your team. If you have no guilt, why not authenticate by Chanel or trusted 3rd party first???? This makes me so mad. Once I get my item back. I will have Chanel boutique authenticate my item, Chanel won’t accept fake item for alterations!!! And I will also have third party authenticate it, by then I will have enough paperwork from real experts and authorities to sue you by stating my item it’s fake!!! I will also report to Better Business Bureau. This is what they sent me: Your item Manteau Chanel ref: 3772440 has been checked by our team of experts. Unfortunately, they were not able to confirm its authenticity due to the following reasons: Finitions noncompliant Label noncompliant As stated in our Terms and Conditions of sale, since this item does not match the quality standards set by the brand, we will return this item to you upon receipt of a $12 cheque to cover the costs of shipping. Please send your payment to the following address: Vestiaire Collective - SRM 33 boulevard Général Martial Valin 75015 Paris France Please note that we will store your item at our Head Office for a period of 6 months from the date it was declared non compliant. After this date your item will be disposed of. Now not only I lost the time and money. It’s so crazy long to even get my item back! I will not selling my items on VC any more!!!! Sellers please stay far away from this disgusting platform cost you arms and legs of selling fees!!!!!! Please click all the bad reviews here, I am glad I am not the only one have the same awful experience!!!! Stay far away from them if you don’t want headaches!!! Sellers boycott this monopoly shady business! 35% selling fees!!!!!

I ordered an incredibly well-crafted BOGNER ski jacket from France---it's beautiful and instead of paying $2,300 retail, I got for $450. Incredibly, it arrived via DHL from France to Boston in 3 days---seriously. Thumbs Up, except for their customer service--- it's a complete joke.

Terrible non existent customer service. Bought a scarf for £381 & the seller went off grid. No scarf, no money back , no help from Vestiaire . I made numerous phone calls , they tell me to contact seller on comments!! Dreadful customer service . I bought scarf on 24th October, paid immediately, they took money immediately and after that nothing

I am completely outraged and shocked at the level of customer service this company has given me . I order this Vintage Watch and the seller decided to change the strap and NEVER SEND THE WATCH and then VC still has this order down as pending when I have called you 100 times to tell you to cancel this and refund me my money as the seller didn’t even send it and changed the item . Your website is a scam and a fake and I am so so shocked at the level of poor customer service . You have effectively stolen my money and refuse to give it back and refuse to respond to me . I demand to speak to a senior manager as soon as possible or will get my lawyer involved as soon as possible. THIS WEBSITE IS A SCAM DO NOT USE IT

They sent me an item which was not the one described, and then after requesting devolution, they sent me it back. If you buy here you have the risk to lose your money completely, so think twice before buy here. I bought a L size and they sent me a XS. you can see in the picture the item categorized as L, but they told me I should have seen the tshirt label because there was XS.

Why have you put up your fees so much? Before it used it be around $30 for shipping, and now it’s $45, plus $6 authentication fee, and before I used to be able to choose to pay the 10% customs and duties fee to Australia and now it appears that this is no longer optional, and I have to pay it. Everyone in Australia knows that you don’t have to pay a company 10% extra, you are taking advantage of customers in Australia by charging this. There is no way you are passing this 10% on to the Australian government, you are keeping this money as an added fee! If not, please prove to me otherwise. I used to buy a lot of things from you, but now with all these ridiculous extra fees, it’s not worth it, I can buy from other sites that don’t charge all these ridiculous hidden fees. You say that you have lowered the fee for the seller, but this is not true, you have just passed extra fees on to the buyer! You will definitely lose a lot of customers including me.

Hello Vestiaire Collective, I called your German customer service last Friday (11/10/2019) because my item (mini speedy HL) was deemed as 'non compliant' because of 'missing strap'. I am an expert seller and I have sold 45 items through your platform, and I always sent my stuffs max. 1 day after they were sold. I am 200% sure that I included the original strap in the package, and wrapped it. When I called your customer service that I have put the strap inside my package and wrapped it (so i detached the strap from the bag), the guy who was on the phone with me said that they would check the status of it with their logistic team, and they claimed that they have a 'video' of their team unwrapping the stuffs. He also told me that I would be notified about the status of the 'lost strap' via email. That day, I wrote an email to make sure that the VC team is aware of my situation, not only from phone call, but written too. Until now (15/10) I have not heard any progress, and that equals prolonged waiting time for my buyer, and for me. I would appreciate it if there is an update about the situation. Because let's be direct, you get my item, with the strap as described, and now you claimed that I did not send the strap. For a seller, losing a strap is a huge loss! Now, what are you going to do? Are you not going to respond to me and wait until the 25 days limit so that the order is going to be cancelled automatically and then you would send me my bag, without the strap? Please be more responsible not only to your buyers but also to your sellers. We have been feeding your employees with 30% commission for each sold item, and that is a pretty big amount of money. I am including the order number in this comment, and should there be any update regarding my situation, please reply to me. Here, or through email. UPDATE: 17/10/2019: I've been trying to reach them per email and everything (chat, phone, email), They just ignored me. Beware of this scammer, they steal your stuffs. How? Here I will explain: You send your sold item to them (complete, with everything described in your listing).And then that item will go into 'quality control process' (usually takes 2-3 days. And then, they told you that your item is 'partially compliant' because the shoulder strap is missing. You would then be given a link to assess the quality report, and in this link you have only 2 options : to reduce the item's price to a certain amount (here they took 140 euros off the agreed price) OR to have the item sent back to you. Here is where they scam you. You have NO OPTION to explain. In my case, I sent them my bag, they STOLE my shoulder strap (original from Louis Vuitton by the way), and I have NO OPTION to even explain or comment on their quality report. So, the only possible way is to go to their 'customer service', who's only playing ping-pong with me. They did not give me any response. Sure, they will not admit that they lost my strap. They also said that there is a video recording on how the logistic team opened the package I sent them, WHICH IS B*LL$#*!. I doubt there is such video. OK, so no one respond to you from their 'customer service', because apparently, they are robers, and robers don't want to be caught. So, they just said they will let me know once there is an updated process on this, VIA E-MAIL, which never comes. During this status quo time, your buyer will have 5 days to decide if they want to wait for the 'missing part' of the item OR receive the item as it is (without strap) with a highly reduced price. IF they chose to wait for the 'missing' strap to be sent, the seller would need to send the item within 5 days. So here is the point where Vestiaire Collective succeeded to be a professional thief, and you as a seller will have a lose-lose situation. IF the buyer wanted to wait, you will not be able to send the strap within 5 days because YOU ALREADY SENT IT and vestiaire collective stole it from you! This will end with your item being sent back - which obviously, will be without strap that you originally sent them. That's the first condition. IF the buyer wanted to settle with the item without the strap, YOU WILL LOSE 140 euro from your gain. The last condition is, that the buyer does not want to wait, and does not want to settle with the item as it is (without strap), and then your item's status will be changed to 'non compliant' from 'partially compliant', your sale will be cancelled, and then your bag will be returned WITHOUT THE STRAP. So every possibilities will be advantageous for Vestiaire Collective and You will lose money. Your buyer will also be at disadvantage because it takes several days for VC to return their money. So, I am writing my review here to warn people before buying or selling with them. Maybe you have some successful transactions, but the moment something is wrong and you would need to contact their customer service, it's gonna be a lose-lose situation for you. For me, somehow they successfully stole a 200 euro worth of Louis Vuitton strap. Shameless company!!!!!

BUYERS BEWARE - what a horrible experience with this company. They have the worst customer service. I haven't experienced anything this bad from a company. They are quick to take your money for a purchase and for my particular item it was listed as 'EXPRESS' to be shipped within 2 business days. It has been 12 business days and not one reply to an email - their customer service consultants all say the same thing, "your matter has been escalated" and nothing happens. It is appalling. The first and last time I will ever buy from this website. I am still waiting on an answer as to where my item is!

Purchased a wallet and waited over a month the day they gave me a refund (as it hadnt arrived from seller )which included a credit of £22.00 the wallet turned up so I re purchased the item only to find they hadn’t refunded me the original full price even though an mail told me they had !,! So I phoned their customer services and was told tough no can’t give you the promo code you will have to purchase again to incl this money ....why they could not refund me I don’t know ...it was after all the same wallet refunded on the same day and I in good faith paid again ... ( presumed as they told me the £22.00 ) was in the refund ... really not happy with this company ! Also the adviser would not let me speak with a manager ... customer service absolute rubbish ...not impressed ☹️

The most horrific organization with criminal policies. I ordered a Saint Laurent jacket which took a month to ship. The product was an obvious counterfeit. The customer Service was HORRIBLE. I called 3 times and emailed 2 times before Alex finally was kind enough to send me the return label. He was the only person who did anything . The strategy seems to be to sell counterfeit items and hope no one notices/ then make the process of returning it so arduous that you just forget about it. I have bought many times before - I am beyond disappointed

They sent me a fake blazer/jacket screwed up in a small cardboard box with ripped lining and dirty sleeves. They told me to send it back which I did 1 week ago. They now ignore me.... I guess I lost 200 euros.
