This is my first post on TPF. I have ordered three items from Farfetch this year. A
Fendi small By The Way tote from
The Corner Berlin boutique, Saint Laurent
large Monogram satchel from
Chapeau Woman boutique and Saint Laurent
small Monogram' envelope wallet from
Vitkac boutique. I was happy with the two handbags, however, the small wallet I received from Vitkac boutique came with a small spot of glue (see photo) on the front of the wallet. It also had a odd smell to it. I noticed that the wallet was the only one they had left in stock and suspect they wanted to get rid of it. Considering the wallet was listed for $492 CAD, I was not pleased it came in that condition. I contacted Farfetch as I see the wallet is also available at a different boutique and requested for an exchange. They replied and declined my request as exchanges can only be performed from the same boutique. While I understand that policy in terms of the logistics, I am very displeased with the fact they did not offer any other resolution aside from returning and re-ordering. I believe Farfetch has the responsibility to resolve the issue when it's their supplier that shipped out a sub-par product. I end up using a leather cleaner to clean off the glue and tried various ways to remove the smell. I did not want to go through the trouble of returning / reordering. I would purchase from Farfetch again (due to the low prices), but will avoid Vitkac boutique and with full anticipation Customer Service would offer their assistance, but will definitely not go above and beyond (which is what they need to do to become a great company).
