Please tag me if you get it authenticated. I`d like to know the outcome. I`ve purchased a lot of things from Bluefly and I`ve never had a problem. I`d be upset to pay that much for a replica.



I used to purchase items from BF, but haven't for years. I don't trust them. Here are a few of their more interesting episodes

Many of their current listings have the 'sold and shipped by a third party affiliate' notice. They are, in effect, dropshipping. Who are the third parties? No one knows. Are those photos of the actual bag you will receive? Who knows?

All the problems I ever read about involved preloved items. I've purchased at least 20 brand new items from them and never had any problems. I had the authenticator s give me the ok on a Prada handbag from them a few months ago. I'll be sure to get any future purchases from them authenticated. I find it hard to believe a business with millions of customers would risk their reputation and possible criminal charges by knowingly selling replicas. I think most fakes come from the preloved sister companies. Replicas have become so well made now I've seen some get past authenticators on Fashionphile, that's why I try to only purchase new. Thanks for the warning. I'll be more cautious.
