Does anyone have any experience consigning with Fashionphile? I normally deal with Yoogi's but Fashionphile had a better offer for both direct and consignment. How long does it take from the time they receive your item to posting it online? Also, how is the communication between them?

A dear friend has consigned with Fashionphile and has had some very, very poor experiences with them and will never consign or have anything to do with them again.

She has sent them bags that were new with tags, and they have cut the tags off and sold the bags as preowned. She also sent them an Hermes Birkin only to have them not list the bag for over a month. They only listed it after she complained about it, and she wondered if someone was using the bag during that month because they could provide no explanation! The same goes for the new with tags bags that mysteriously had the tags cut off and were suddenly in used condition. She also sent several other items over the last couple of years where they took three weeks to get them listed on their website.

Most recently, they sent back a number of barely used and completely unused items stating that there was something wrong with the condition. When she wrote to them about this, she got a very rude response from them.

It seems the only time that Sarah at Fashionphile gets involved and apologizes about the lack of professionalism, nonexistent communication, and the poor treatment of the clients is when someone drags the business through the mud on the forums. This is not how you run a business IMHO.

I have encouraged my friend to try Yoogi's Closet instead because from my experience they are much more courteous to work with, have good communication, and are professional and accurate in their descriptions. If you are already consigning with Yoogi's, I would stick with them.
 
People have posted that Yoogis gives them very low quotes to buy their items. I have bought from Yoogis and have been very happy.

What about consigning with Anns Fablous Finds? Her consignment payout seems good, better than some others.
 
I have and usually get more $ than with any other place. Mailing stuff in has not been a problem but now they're so close that I stop by the Beverly Hills store and get cash the same day. I would never keep sending things back if I had a bad experience with a consignor like the other poster mentioned, so maybe send in one or two lower value items first.
 
Can anyone tell me how long does it take for them to send out payment after they receive your bag? I just recently send my bag in to them for a direct purchase and this is my first time dealing with Fashionphile. Any comments would be great. Thanks :smile1:

If you are selling them the bag the payment is very fast (mailed out within a week or so). If you consign the item you have to wait for it to sell to receive payment.

They are supposed to email you at each step but you can also track the item's progress on their website if you set up an account with them first. I recommend doing that. Once the account is set up you go to "my account" on their site and it will tell you when the item is received, when it goes up for sale and when payment has been issued.

I decided to sell it to them, since I needed the funds for my other Balenciaga. Hopefully I will have a pleasant transaction with them. Thank you got your response.
 
Is their site down?

I sent them a request for a bag I want to sell and I answered me yesterday. But I am not feeling very comfortable sending the bag to them as long as the site is not working.
 
Yes, it seems that way. They just had a "be back soon" message up at first but it looks like it might be taking longer than expected, I noticed the new message this morning. I'd wait to ship until they're up & running as well. It probably won't be too long anyway.
