I've bought from my personal shopper before who sold me a Chanel Jumbo under retail, shipped directly from Saks. I got the saks receipt and everything. I don't think she does that anymore as this was 3 years ago, but it was definitely legit.I don’t buy from Instagram sellers but if anyone is claiming to sell new items from the boutiques below retail then that’s a pretty big red flag. Personally, I would question the authenticity...
I would personally pay a little bit more and buydirectly from a boutique or reputable sites like fashionphile
Did the receipt show retail price? I got a receipt as well and it shows retail price so I’m wondering how he was able to sell to me for below retail.

You should check the IG personal shoppers megathread. There's a lot of discussion about this already.
yes my receipt showed retail price. Mine was shipped from Saks with Saks packaging and everything, so I felt safe. If you're worried, you should get it authenticated.Did the receipt show retail price?

I only buy direct from boutiques or dept stores...so wouldn't have been tempted even if it was legitimate and below retail.
I have read that thread and no one really knew how this person was able to do that...I don't believe she does anymore so while the products may have been legit one has to wonder if their process in securing the products was legit...somebody from Saks was obviously facilitating and I imagine must have been told they had to stop at some point.
In general though more often than not it should raise red flags if it's new from the boutique and below retail...
That's great, if you're happy and financially able to continue to buy at retail and without any discounts, then all the power to you.
Regardless, I'm very happy with my Chanel jumbo that I bought brand new with boutique packaging, direct from Saks, at a discount.
