Hey everyone! Has anyone every purchased anything from Ruelala before? I purchased my first item ever today! I'm so excited to receive it! What items have you purchased from Ruelala? What was your best deal you received from them? I've been signed up for ruelala for about a year now but i've never actually purchased anything. I loved looking at the deals though but nothing ever really caught my eye that I thought was a really great deal.

So..what have you bought on ruelala? How great was your deal?
 
I couldn't find much about ruelala when i did a search..hmm.

is their service not up to par? I've never bought anything up until a few days ago. Lets see how it goes. My item was shipped today.

Wow, you are lucky! I ordered my items on Nov 28th and 30th and both are still processing. . .estimated arrival for my items are December 15th and 19th!!
 
I placed a couple of orders recently - all arrived within a week, and the items I received were beautiful just as I had expected. In the past I received a damaged bracelet from them. They refunded my credit card, told me to keep the bracelet AND gave me a $20 credit!
 
Just found this thread as I was looking for more information about any issues others have had.

I ordered a Waterford vase from them a few weeks ago. Shipping was very slow. Once I received it, it was not the color as depicted on the site, and I proceeded to try to get the return process going. My order information under "returns" on the site indicates I have no returnable items!

1. My emailed order confirmation does not indicate it is final sale.
2. My packing slip has return information (fill in reason for return here, etc). It does not indicate anywhere that this is a Final Sale item.
3. Their website indicates a Final Sale item would be indicated as such on the packing list.
4. There is no way to see the item online, it is no longer available. However, as a rule, I do not order "final sale" items online for the very reason that I could be stuck with something I don't like (the exception is an item I already own and I am purchasing a duplicate of it).

I emailed them explaining that all indications are that this is returnable (except where I try to get a return label). Their response? "We're so sorry for the confusion if the packing list didn't say Final Sale." :censor:

That's it. Not happy. I emailed them again scanned copies of everything and if they don't come back by CoB today with a return label the next step is to contact the CC company with the same information.

They could make me very happy and keep me as a customer where I would spend $$ vs. other sites, or they could stand firm and lose me as a customer, not to mention word-of-mouth recommendations. I'm about to find out where their priorities are.

Not so likely to shop with them again.....
 
Update:

I got a response from a 3rd "Concierge" representative, which re-stated the same thing as the others: It is a final sale item. The response indicated they never looked at the info I submitted to the contrary.

So I contacted the CC company, and they said to package it, return it, track it, and open a dispute with all the supporting information, and they will take it from there.

So I "Rue" the day I ordered from them in the first place. This was my first order, and it is certainly my last.
 
I've ordered from RueLaLa before and have had good service. Not excellent, but not bad. I've never returned anything though, so maybe that's why? I find sometimes the shipping time is very long, but sometimes they overestimate the time and I get the item sooner.

I've gotten good deals, but have found better at B&M stores or online at the usual stores (Bloomingdales, Saks, Nordstroms) when they have sales. Example: I've purchased 7fams at Bloomingdales for $80 before. On RueLaLa (or any other sale site I've noticed), they only go down to $99 ish.
 
I have bought many items (or should I say several) from them. I have never had any problems and my items have arrived quickly. I think the UPS gentleman is tired of coming to my house :p
