**Buying from Fashionphile** shopping experiences/questions

[keeks121]

I had three boxes arrive at Yoogi's last week (I've been cleaning out stuff). One arrived Tuesday and has been paid. One arrived Thursday and another Friday, and both were checked in today and offers accepted by me. I'm kind of worried about Fashionphile. They seem really overwhelmed and I'm guessing they're putting their energy into shipping orders out.

My items are still waiting to be checked in... BTW, I've never tried Yoggi before, how are their quotes compared to FP?

Most of the items I'm selling are Louis Vuitton. Yoogiscloset's quotes have been higher on every item except a couple of rare older items that Fashionphile gave me really high offers on. Of course, I haven't actually been paid for those yet.

Thank you! I'll definitely try Yoggiscloset for my next consignment.

Hi all!

I'm selling some of my bags for the first time and since I'm totally new at this I'm selling through Fashionphile (eBay would eat me alive). This thread has been an amazing resource but I have three quick questions that I think I generally know the answer to based on the discussion here but I just wanted to be absolutely certain since this is my first time shipping to Fashionphile (or anywhere):

(1) Is it possible to re-print shipping labels if I change how I want to pack my bags for shipping? The posts in this thread indicate that it's NBD if you have multiple shipping labels with the same tracking information, but originally I planned to ship 4 bags in one box and 4 in another, and printed off the shipping labels/manifests accordingly. Once I actually started packing things up, though, I wound up spreading the 8 bags among 3 boxes. Will it cause any issue if I print new shipping labels to conform to how I ultimately decided to pack the bags?

(2) I went with a FedEx label, and noticed that the label is for ground shipping. Can you still overnight the shipments even with the ground label? I'm seeing from the posts here that processing is taking awhile, so I want to do anything I can on my end to expedite the overall process.

(3) I think I saw in here that Fashionphile insures the shipments, but have any of you ladies ever gotten FedEx insurance on top of whatever insurance Fashionphile has? I'm planning to have FedEx actually ship the packages (and I'm going to take pictures of which bags are in which boxes in case God forbid something happens) which I think will have the FedEx Office Packaging pledge kick in, but given the horror stories I've read on this forum re: lost packages/items, I want to make sure I'm taking whatever steps I can to protect myself in case something goes wrong (especially with mail generally being in flux these days).

Thanks so much!

I use UPS so I don't know how FedEx works. I know you can group your shipments however you want with Fashionphile and print however many labels you want. But check and make sure you're getting a new tracking number on each one. Also, I personally wouldn't have FedEx pack my packages because I wouldn't want them to know there's a bunch of valuable handbags in them, but that's up to you.
All of their prepaid shipping labels are for ground shipping. I found shipping times are only a few days, but be prepared because check-in times are averaging about 10 business days right now.

You can reprint as many times as needed and the tracking number can be re-used. But it might make a difference with the inventory slip, so make sure to print a separate one of those per box (the 'what's included in this shipment' paper).

(2) I went with a FedEx label, and noticed that the label is for ground shipping. Can you still overnight the shipments even with the ground label? I'm seeing from the posts here that processing is taking awhile, so I want to do anything I can on my end to expedite the overall process.
No. They have paid for ground, so any additional service you add you'd be responsible for paying. It won't change their processing speed at all, just the speed the box gets there. You could overnight it and the box still won't be opened/processed until they're ready. It's not necessary.

(3) I think I saw in here that Fashionphile insures the shipments, but have any of you ladies ever gotten FedEx insurance on top of whatever insurance Fashionphile has? I'm planning to have FedEx actually ship the packages (and I'm going to take pictures of which bags are in which boxes in case God forbid something happens) which I think will have the FedEx Office Packaging pledge kick in, but given the horror stories I've read on this forum re: lost packages/items, I want to make sure I'm taking whatever steps I can to protect myself in case something goes wrong (especially with mail generally being in flux these days).
It's not necessary. They fully insure the items, but you should make sure to keep tracking slips and proof of your mailing, and maybe even a picture of the packed box. TBH you are better off sending items all together when you can; splitting the shipments and creating multiple labels just creates more opportunities for misdirected/lost items. I've used FP for 7+ years and nothing has ever gone missing or lost.

Thanks so much!

You can re-print shipping labels and choose what to include and exclude from each shipment. I once changed my mind after I printed the shipping label, and went on the "ship my items" page to exclude an item.

I wonder what's happening with them; did a lot of staff leave during Covid or are they just growing too fast and not keeping pace? It's becoming a more regular thing to expect low quality service. I ordered a few items last week and they forgot the file, the confetti and any padding, the items were just in there in white wrap. Not that presentation is majorly important, but so many things are Almost all of my items come from NJ these days and rarely California.

Thanks so much for the tips! Very much appreciate the insight.

And ccbaggirl, my shipping label is to NJ, which I thought was weird until I googled and realized they bought a NJ facility. Until now I was under the impression everything was based out of CA.

Some packages/buyouts will still go to California. I guess it depends. I shipped two items last week and they went to California. It will vary. I think NJ has been open close to 6 months now, maybe even longer.

"You are a big deal to us! Our processing time is longer than usual. The reality is, there is so much to do, and not as many people to get it done. Know that we are processing your pretty items as fast as we can and when there is an update, we will send it along."

Yay! They opened my box!

I just went in person to the NYC showroom yesterday to sell a couple of bags. Of course you never get anywhere close to what you've paid. They did offer me $1000 for my LV speedy nano which is in pristine condition with box, papers, etc.. I sold a gorgeous Valentino for $800, paid $1400 and I sold a small round D&G also pristine condition for $175. I paid $500 so that was a huge loss. The employees there are very nice and the transaction happens quickly. I've done it before. As far as purchasing bags on their site, I think they are crazy with pricing. I just bought the LV Black Leather Empriente Neverfull MM at the LV store for $2260 and Fashionphile has numerous new or excellent some without the pouch for a $1000 more than the stores price. That makes no sense, so I tend to stay away from buying from their site.

I sold to Fashionphile and used fedex and is went very smoothly. I did not pay extra for insurance. That's Fashionphiles responsibility. Just dont lose your tracking info. The money was in my bank account within a few days too.

No extra insurance. That's Fashionpiles responsibility. I did it through the mail and it went well and the money was in my bank account within days.

Thanks, Cocobeans! I'll make sure to hold onto the tracking info.
