A positive review for Fashion_lux_ boutique248 [Yulia], she's VERY professional, communicates quickly and her fee is very reasonable. I knew she was legit because half of the pics on IG of new collections are uploaded by her, and reposted on here and used by other accounts. LOL. So, I was okay doing a wire transfer. She's located in Europe. She packed the item nicely, provided pics before shipping to me and updated me every step of the way. Hands down 100% amazing experience.

Had to share my experience with momolamd _tokyo. I would not recommend. She charged so much more for subpar serviceป I paid 500-600$ more than retail, charged astronomical amount of shipping, and yet she used the cheapest mode of shipping which is postal EMS instead of DHL or FedEx. She didn’t ship item promptly upon buying but needed to wait over a week before shipping. The package took forever over several weeks from Japan to come to US.

Now onto the worst part: She sent a wrong item to my address, and sent my item to other people! What’s the matter with all these high service fee and screwed up the order? Worst yet, she took no responsibility in terms of refunding any part of covered her mistake. She asked me you ‘wrap the package nicely as how it was sent’ and ho ship it for her. Excuse me, but I didn’t work for her and did not have time for that. I asked for the refund of my package since I didn’t receive and she refused. She should have at least extent her courtesy to refund her astronomical shipping fee or whatsoever to be responsible for the mistake she made. I would have been more understanding of she didn’t appear and act too cheap and greedy. I do not support this kind of mentality of the business owner. Do not use her!! I am first time customer and will never ever return. It’s the most greedy IG seller and least professional I have ever come across.

on the other note, I found threadsstylong very professional, always gave the retail price in eurowith reasonable handling and shipping fee using DHL. My item through threads arrived within one week.

I would like to share my experience from @eluxury_consignments from the US. I did my research on her, got in contact with one of her client and I received a great feedback about her.

So, I purchase a Chanel current season 22P piece from her, transfer money via Wise to her, placed my deposit and full payment before she even receive the Chanel. She took clear pictures for me the next day she received it and shipped it off to Aus for me.

She is not a very chatty person but she does reply to relevant questions about the purchase and show documentations about it. She is not a full time reseller, has fulltime job very busy so sometimes might missed some messages.

My experience with her has been nothing but awesome! She sell at very reasonable and competitive price, professional, great customer service, fast shipping and what impressed me the most is her after sales service!!! she’s a gem! Will not hesitate to buy from her again!

How's your purchase with her?

I have purchased from her and the transaction went without a hitch. Her service fee is reasonable and competitive. She responds to messages fairly quick. I would just message her if you have questions. She takes photos of receipt and sends it to you and the bag as well when she has it on hand.

Shipping took two weeks to get to me as said item gets shipped to her first(from the store) and she then forwards the item to the buyer.

Overall a wonderful experience and won't hesitate to order from her again if the need arises.

Hi I just purchased from her last week. She's very responsive and willing to send more photos. She didn't pressure me for a sale. The items were packaged well and shipped fast! If in doubt of authenticity, she can also email you a certificate from Zeko's Authentication.

I do recommend that you ask to see photos of any accessories that come with the item you're interested in though because the box that I got was not the original box of that item. It was still a vintage Chanel box, but the item code on the box sticker was for a different bag. It wasn't a dealbreaker to me though because the bag itself was accurately described and that's what I really cared about. However, if you want a true "full set" ask for more photos.

The biggest pro for me is that she is based in the US so the price you see is what you pay + overnight shipping, assuming you are in the US also. You don't have to worry about unknown customs/duties compared to buying internationally or your package getting lost moving from different countries.

Do you actually believe risking the purchase price of an expensive bag to avoid paying a 2% fee is a good idea? It is a small percentage of the bag's cost and provides you will full protection if it turns out to be a fake or a scam.
Even Vlad recommends not to use F&F here on tpf marketplace. Wiring is just as bad.

There is a TPF marketplace?

I had a great experience buying a vintage small CF from luxxedition. She answered all my questions and sent me additional pictures. I believe she works with Zeko to authenticate the bags. I got a true full set. She ships really fast after payment is received.

She has blue tick on insta and everything seems totally legit but just jumping on to see if anyone has purchased from her before I do any transfers?
Thanks :smile:
