**Buying from Fashionphile** shopping experiences/questions

[nicole0612]

Thank you for the advice. I did it. I went ahead and bought the lower one and the one that already shipped will go back. The difference came out to $878. I feel a bit bad I had to do this, but I'm shopping preloved for a few reasons and one is to get a good price.
@nicole0612 I have noticed a slight reduction/normalization of prices the past few days, too, so perhaps they are trying to move items faster.

Good! No reason to settle for a $900 more expensive option which is not in better condition! You would always have a bad taste about it I think. I think sadly we will see prices go up to the stratosphere again once they get their financials back in line. Though I honestly believe that is the reason they have oddly rejected so many consignment/buyout submissions lately as members here have commented (low cash flow? too much inventory?).

please show a comparison when they both arrive! interested to see if there is any difference in condition that would have warranted the difference but is hard to see via photos

I'm glad you bought the lower priced one! Definitely return that other one. That's exactly what I was going to suggest as well.

Has anyone ever sent in luxury watch before and what was the actual processing time like? I know on the website it says longer processing time up to 10 days for fine jewelry and watch. But just wondering the real experience? I sent in a luxury watch, delivered last Tuesday but the status still says "Processing".

Quick update on my situation if anyone's interested in the processing time for a luxury watch. My watch was delivered and received on Mar 8th, the payment status just changed to "Supplier needs payment of XXX" a few minutes ago. So 8 business days for them to process and authenticate.

I was thinking the same. Take a look at both. Perhaps the lower cost one may have condition issues not seen in the pics. If they are the same then return the more expensive one.

Not good. I recently had a horrible experience with them.

Has anyone else recently experienced fashionphile declining to quote your Chanel bags? This started happening to me in March, even though I’m submitting Chanel bags that they previously quoted (in hopes of a higher number) and I’m still getting reasonable quotes on other brands.

This is the message I get: Thank you so much for your interest in selling with us. We will not be able to accept this item because our selection requirements were not met.

Yes. If you read back a few pages others have said this, too. They're not actively buying as much, it seems. Last month (late Feb.) I was not quoted for a brand new LV, a Chanel, and one other brand. They were all new. I got the same message you did and another canned response for the others "we cannot accept this item."

If they already have too many of the same bag that did not sell as fast as they wanted to, they will stop accepting them.

 

[rachelspendsmoney]

Yep you’re spot on. They just sent me a note saying the same thing. Maybe I can try again in a few months.

Don’t feel remotely bad. They’re still marking the list price up enough to make a profit. Good for you getting a deal on this legitimately and fairly! Good thing you were checking listings! Honestly sometimes their prices make no sense.

I’ve posted about this recently. I feel like this rejection is their basic canned response regardless of what the actual reason is. Just wait and resubmit again when there isn’t as much inventory. That is likely the most probable reason they rejected your submission.

I tried sell two Hermes twillies with tags and boxes to fashionphile last week. Both are from the 2021 collections. But Fashionphile told me they cannot accept these. That’s super weird. Anyone has similar experiences?

Not twillies, but I had earrings worn once and with box/bag/receipt everything from pretty recently (maybe a month or so?). They accepted in person, then I got an email saying they were being rejected because of scratches (none that I knew of, I had worn them once, stored carefully. Then when they were actually returned, nicely with all packaging and materials, there was a card saying they'd been rejected for brand compliance inside. Mysterious. I'm not sure if this makes me trust them more as a buyer (occasional bag only, have never bought jewelry from them, don't plan to) or less re authenticity. They were authentic, purchased by me from H Madison, so no idea what the issue was. Buyout didn't seem high either so...

Well my experience with them is on Mar 11th i submitted 5 items for quotes all lv items the largest the new odeon pm tote, it just didn’t work for me. On Mon march 14 they gave me quotes for all 5 items, offering more for the odeon then I paid prior to price increase. I mailed out the box on mar 16th, they received the box on mar 18th, as of today mar 22nd i have been paid. Never been this fast before. So I’m pleased.

I received both my bags -- They were both rated excellent and included the same items, and they even used the same model picture for both. The lower priced one has just the slightest amount of creasing on the front, but they are both in excellent condition with no visible wear inside or out, no corner wear, no smells, basically the same. The higher priced one has a bit more structure overall, but honestly, nothing really to warrant that almost $900 difference imo. I guess to some people the few creases to the front would matter but the difference is so slight to me that I'm happily keeping the lower-cost one I recently noticed that Rebag has started to price items exactly the same if they have similar wear - it makes sense to me that items that are identical would be priced the same.
