Can someone recommend an online authentication service

Thanks for the replies. Would you guys say that both are equally reputable? I really want the bag to be authentic as it is a very rare colour and I don’t think I can find it again :/

Real Authentication has about a 4/5 stars review for their service. Ive heard some good things about it but I, myself, personally honestly have not used that service. Whenever ive purchased a pre-loved bag in the past ive done a TON of research on it first and of course take a look at the seller’s buyer’s reviews/stars.
 
If you’re uncomfortable, you can send it to zeko for an in house inspection. She’s really sweet and wonderful. I haven’t used her authentication service before but I did use her as a middle person when myself and another person on fb decided to swap bags. I totally trust her 100%.
 
Thanks all! I asked zeko to reconfirm and she said she doesn’t have an ounce of doubt whereas with a4u I don’t know who their authentor is. I’ve had lollipuff provide authentication as well and they are happy so this has given me piece of mind. Unfortunately I don’t think I can send for in house inspection to zeko due to issues with customs etc. But I will see if there are any in house places in the UK who can opine. Thank you all for helping! I do believe zeko to be the most well versed as a Chanel specialist
 
I’ve used Zeko and I’m in the UK. Very trustworthy and I would recommend. If she says it’s authentic it’s good enough for me. She came recommended to me from a reliable reseller I use.
 
Hello everyone! I recently purchased a mini square from a reputable IG seller and am looking to have it authenticated by a 3rd party for peace of mind. I hear Zeko is the go-to option, but would love to hear if anyone has other recommendations.

Also interested in in-person services (I live in NYC) if possible. Thank you!

Just realize several have pointed to Zeko & Leather Surgeons here (thank you to whomever moved my post to this thread).

Etinceler unfortunately closed this month, so I'm leaning towards using Zeko. How long does it typically take for her to authenticate an item?

I went with the e-certificate option for my vintage cf, and she authenticated it in around 12 hours for me just recently. She’s great, I definitely recommend her!
