WORST SHOPPING EXPERIENCE EVER!!!

Bought a bag in october, and only received it last week....They ship with DHl, so if you are not in the European union they charge you lots of duties and taxes!

Not worth the time, patience....better to buy from the US, or directly at the store!
 
I meant return it for a full refund, not keep the bag and get your money back. I have no idea how the lack of correct packaging is viewed by PP though. I would assume it does not qualify for a partial and unless the seller wrote in the description it would come with the box I dont think they will consider it. I don't know of course.

Return was not an option as I really like the bag. It's just not the deal i paid for (missing original AW packaging+dustbag) - so i wanted a partial refund. VC ignored me, then refused my wish of a partial refund and then ignored me again. So today I finally got the partial refund via paypal :smile1:.
There were pics of the actual bag with packaging and dustbag in the description, plus the seller confirmed that she sent the bag with packaging as described to VC.

I'm really happy I got my partial refund via paypal. But VC...no words...this was my first and last order, unfortunately.
 
Helllo! Im new here but I see that there are so many experienced users! Awesome your knowledge in luxury items... I have a question... I bought a hermes buckle from Vestiaire collective but after reading your posts im kind of suspicious...

I bought a bukle from this seller

http://fr.vestiairecollective.com/accessoires-femme/ceintures/hermes/boucle-de-ceinture-dore-en-metal-1334013.shtml

I was sure with the authentification service that I was sure to be real but she have sold so many Hermes buckles and after your post.. I have doubts... They look authentique to me but I would like your second oppinion cause she has so many sold... but I check in Hermes store and serial number of them look ok... what do you think?? Thank you!!
 
I bought a vintage Kelly Bag on 19th november and they sent it on 25th november. However I wasn't able to track it because the tracking number wasn't working. First I contacted Fedex and they assured me that they never picked this package up at Vestiaire Collective. I wrote 4 mails and calles VC 4 times and I didn't get a response in 2 weeks now and still waiting!! I always get another person on the phone and have to explain my problem all over again and they keep telling me that they will respond to my via email. No email ever got to me... I will never buy or sell on their site again! Let's see when I will finally receive a email from them...
 
OK, I had to deal with VC again just because they had the bag I was looking for (Dior Granville). Bag arrived OK, then DHL bill for duty charges popped up in my mailbox. DHL submitted the wrong code and charged me more than TWICE duties than I had to pay (20% instead of 9%, total $384). Nice, eh? I had to open dispute (they don't care actually and eventually will say they can't do anything). Their lame excuse on the phone is that VC should provide correct code and if they don't have any code custom will assign code themselves and it can be incorrect one. Then even better - if I want to change code they'll charge me $75 for this (for their mistake??!?!?!). how come this VC-DHL billing always wrong? Do they have any qualified people there? I'm paying full price for delivery each time ($40) and I hope that someone will submit code and do other paperwork correctly. Nope, not with them. I was billed wrongly before twice by DHL in last year, once DHL sent my case to collection agency because they didn't bother to read my email with provided evidence of return - every time I have to open a dispute and go to BBB eventually that sides with me. Every time it's tons of emails and calls and form submissions for these idiots.
 
I just ordered a Tod's handbag from this webste. Wish me luck..so how does DHL charge? They will send the bill later? Or it is on the spot? Or thru email? Thanks

In USA DHL sends you a bill a couple of weeks later. sometimes it's due a couple of days prior to delivery date. sometimes it's correct (for 9% duty charge), sometimes it's not.
Good luck!
 
The employees at vestiaire are absolutely untrained, impossible with communication and RUDE! After calling VC 5 times in the past 2 days and after they failed to give me a viable solution or even apologetic attitude, they just hung up on me! I bought a 3500 euro bag and because I am leaving my address for 3 months I asked them to either deliver it quickly or dont deliver it as I won't receive. In the end, despite whatever I told them they decided to check the item slowly, and after calling them and telling them to not send it anymore they still did! Now I have a 3500 euro bag with Fedex which will probably be left on my doorstep for months.

Aside from the logistics, the customer service itself is something. They are so eager to hang up on you. I got hung up on twice. They tell you that there's nothing they can do for you. If you ask for partial refund/compensation/apologies etc. they might as well just scoff in your face.

Aside from all of this - I get that its a resale website etc. and perhaps not that formal and maybe they are undermanned - WHY DO THEY CHARGE SO MUCH THEN???? And! they benefit so much with their cashflow from the stupid twice a month payments which are never on time anyways. All in all, they just give very very bad vibes as a business. And to think that I bought something so expensive using them.

So sorry to hear!!!


VESTIAIRE COLLECTIVE is by far the epitome of badly organised business with a typical unprofessional "I am better than you, I don't like to serve you!" Attitude! I live in France, I know all about it!
They grew too quickly and can't keep up. Little girls at the end of the phone of their so to speak customer service... They have NO CLUE about what is going on, let alone with your specific issue. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS blaming it on someone else in the department. It is so so lame...
When they take the responsibility to list items (24hour to ship) for customers, they NEVER respond to any of the potential customers' questions underneath the items.
They also STILL list tons of FAKE goods when they could just decline them in the picture cropping process at the latest...
Oh the list goes on!
VC, vous etes franchement tout sauf professionel. Reveillez vous!
 
i never bought anything again from vide dressing and vestiaires collective. They nearly got my money and blamed me for tearing one dress that I didn't even tried on. So good bye forever those websites. I got my money back because I escalated the claim to the populations protection department. They had to refund me money. But no more chance to cheat me once more
 
This is an example of a horrendous and clearly FAKE hermes birkin their dilletant team let pass! Furthering the joke they even added a "we love" badge. Unbelievable!!!!!! It is bewildering to say the least!

After posting on it several times they took it down. A $10 fake selling for $11000. SHAME ON THEM.
