Good but duties are expensive
September 9, 2021

Experience overall was great the only thing I was disappointing about was that I had to pay almost $100 in duties on top of the price of the bag so it kind of worked out to be roughly the same price as it would've been and there was no indication anywhere that I had to pay duties nonetheless I got the bag it was good quality and the app is very addicting!

Prior to May of this year, I never purchased second-hand but always directly rom boutiques and stores. I decided to try Fashionphile.com after reading positive things from them.

I started with small dollar value items and had a good experience, so I worked up purchasing a $1.7k 2008-vintage LV monogram bag. Fashionphile processing and shipping times have been very long recently (they're short-staffed), so I didn't get the item until almost 2 weeks later, when I was leaving for a 4-week Europe work trip. I inspected and it seemed fine, so I left for my trip. When I came back, I had an actual chance to use the bag, and I noticed the bag was asymmetric and looked strange sometimes. I tried to figure out why, and noticed a crack where the handles met the bag.

This is a serious issue for the bag as LV does not fix bags that have cracks in the canvas. It makes the bag worth significantly less than what I paid for it.
I reached out to Fashionphile and explained the issue, and they said there was nothing they could do for me as it was past the return date. (It was about 20-25 days past the return date, not months.) They told me that it was my responsibility to seriously inspect an item when I get it and return an item if I'm not satisfied.

This seriously made me mad as that is essentially saying that the customer is responsible for quality control, not the seller. It's a "buyer beware" type of mentality. I see two major issues with that:
1) Information asymmetry. Putting the QC responsibility on the purchaser sets a bad precedent given buyers may only see a few luxury items in their lives, and a few may be neophytes, versus companies see thousands if not tens of thousands.
2) I don't work at Fashionphile, why should I do free labor for them and inspect their items?

I really hate to read bad reviews. You can look at my review history - I give vast vast majority 5 star reviews as my parents own a small business and I understand how difficult it is to deal with Yelp and angry customers. However, this is just beyond the pale in my opinion. I am not a picky customer, and normally I let a lot of things slide and don't return items if they are slightly off, but this is a serious issue. I have spent time filing complaints with Better Business Bureau, Ripoff report, Planet Feedback, etc, reporting this incident to the FTC, and even writing to the California Attorney General. This business practice of customer doing the QC is unacceptable and can easily lead to fraud. I object to this in every way and believe Fashionphile should be held responsible for this business practice.
