Did TRR change their return shipping service to UPS? It has always been FedEx in the past, but I just got a SNAD item that I need to return and when I looked at the return label it was via UPS.
Just purchased a birkin 30 on realreal for 8.5k. Listed as very good condition but when I got it, there is a huge discoloration and scuff in the front of the bag. Because of the intense lighting they use for the website, I was able to see it prior to purchasing. I'll be taking it to leather surgeons to get it fixed. Also the website didn't mention there were pen marks on the side of the bag. 
If I was able to see the bag IRL, I definitely would not have bought. But since there is no return policy, I'd rather spend a few hundred dollars to at least cover up the blemishes...

Because the Birkin was not as described and not disclosed of the stain, pen, etc. you can return it- call them and inform them of your findings and ask for a full refund.
Also, keep in mind taking it to Leather Surgeons will void all further repairs or spa treatment you may want/need from Hermes.
Also there’s a few threads on Leather Surgeon you may want to read before sending a Birkin off to them.
Thanks! Super helpful. I’ll decide tonight if I will return it. I trust Leather Surgeons so bring voided of the Hermès Spa service is not a dealbreaker for me.
Just FYI this is the bag I purchased and I’m attaching pictures I just took today (it arrived today) one thing that makes me want to keep it is the leather Chèvre Mysore is holding it’s shape really well. The problems I’m seeing seem to be something Hermès spa or leather surgeons can take care of completely. If you think otherwise, I’d love to know your opinion!

The pictures you show in comparison to TRR are so different and has been touched up. Honestly, if you decide to keep it I would only allow Hermes to work with this bag otherwise you may wind up with a painted bag to cover up the imperfections. Chèvre leather needs someone who works on them daily. For the price you paid and it’s condition I’d return it.
Good luck

Yikes! Return return return. Pen marks rarely come out and the scuffing alone makes the bag overpriced.
I stopped buying stuff there as there are so many undisclosed issues and me being in Europe makes returns even more problematic. I mentioned it before, sometimes their items have a horrendous smell you can't get out, which they do not mention, and who wants to wear a pretty dress or carry a handbag that smells of death or moldy cellar?
They relished the bag for sale with no corrections to description or REAL photo’s.

Hoping for somebody who is so desperate to own a Birkin, they won't mind the faults, I guess
highly unlikely, but i guess you can get a new code if you sign up with a different email
