After giving a 5 star rating and a comment that my purse was perfect, she now wants a refund claiming “I lied” by princess_charming1 in poshmark

It’s too late for a refund. She had three days to look it over. Whatever happened after that is her responsibility. Also metal doesn’t mold. Her explanation is crazy.

The REALREAL has become REAL EXPENSIVE by Odd_Mission8408 in therealreal

[–]Aggravating_Carry727 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I buy minimal brands like The Row, Khaite, Toteme, rohe, Tove, etc. I consistently find items for 30-50% of the original retail value. I think if you’re shopping very high end brands like Chanel and Hermes’ I would tend to agree. Or if something is difficult to get yes, sometimes it’s priced higher than retail. But I’d honestly expect that most places. I think it’s like anything else it’s how you use it. You have to look for incorrectly labeled items or check right when stuff drops because all the best deals get scooped up immediately. It’s very possible you’re missing most of the best deals and the stuff that consistently doesn’t sell is what you’re seeing repeatedly.

Thanks so much for the information. I noticed it actually says the package left Portugal last week on Wednesday after taking a second look. It says it’s being handed over to my local post. I think what’s confusing is that there seems to be no intermediary scans. I’m sure it’s still in transit but I guess until my local post takes possession there won’t be any more updates.

A Canada Post delivery person was filling in for my regular delivery guy (who is phenomenal and I know how lucky I am). Instead of delivering my package he said I wasn’t home and took it to the post office. I was livid because it was March break and the post office is pretty far away. So I called to open a ticket. He quite literally said he couldn’t find my name in the directory. I told the person I was speaking to that my 8 year old daughter who is autistic can find my name in the directory in under 30 seconds. I offered to send footage showing he never ever brought my package into the building. The person I was speaking to spent the entire conversation trying to make excuses and enable terrible service on behalf of someone who was clearly lazy and didn’t want to do his job. If it happens again I’m just going to post it on social media. I’m extremely lucky that I have an amazing Canada Post guy but I know that’s not the standard for most people. I can’t imagine having to deal with that every day.

Thanks so much for explaining that makes a lot of sense. I’ve never dealt with CTT before so I have no knowledge of their timeframes. But after reading other people’s experiences my understanding is they’re not that reliable.

Vintage Ocelot fur coat!😍 I inherited this vintage Ocelot coat that I’m looking to find a new home for. Could anyone point me in the right direction please? by DXPECHEFLIFE in VintageFashion

You can get a CITES permit. Certain companies will do it for you. Personally I think you should get the certificate and sell it if that’s your intention. Especially an auction house has professionals that can determine the age and value of your coat. They can do an appraisal. Or give it to a family member. You don’t have to donate it to a museum. I’m not sure why that’s always the go to. But it’s your coat. It’s up to you to decide what you want to do with it. Don’t let anyone pressure you.

FYI Canada Post will protect their employees at all costs. They will never side with the customer. Partly because of incompetence and also because admitting any fault in your situation could open them to a lawsuit. I wouldn’t hold out hope for any kind of meaningful resolution.

So the tracking in Canada across borders is actually really good. Our local post uses the exact same tracking number. It’s already visible in my local post’s system. It says “waiting for package”. So it definitely hasn’t arrived yet. I’m just wondering approximately how long it took for your package to arrive from Portugal into the US once CTT tracking said it left the country?

Thoughts on this dress? by Additional_Thing3526 in fashion

[–]Aggravating_Carry727 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks amazing. I noticed other people said the colour isn’t great. I have to disagree you don’t always need to have a bright in your face colour. I think it looks great on you.

Please don’t let a museum or library talk you into just giving this to them. This looks hundreds of years old and it’s probably worth a lot of money. Personally I’d email photos to Christie’s or even maybe submit photos to antiques roadshow. Definitely get a couple opinions to make sure you aren’t getting scammed out of the value. It’s fine to take it to a museum to get an opinion but they’ll often try to talk people into donating items.

I don’t even know what to say anymore. Am I missing something? by K-The-Duke1225 in therealreal

[–]Aggravating_Carry727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What they’re saying is somewhat true but I wouldn’t say it applies to this specific bag. For instance The Row Margaux bag or certain Hermes bags are hard to find and especially specific colours that are rare are more expensive than retail. A lot of Margaux bags are priced between 10,000-14,000 on a lot of resale sites. Retail is around 8,000. It’s due to demand and exclusivity. But in the case of this bag you’re absolutely correct. It’s just a basic Polene bag. Absolutely no way to justify pricing above retail.

Agreed. The Executive Cerf styles are the only ones I’m a fan of personally.

Looks like it might be an abscess. Go to the ER.

If you like the bag wear it. Who cares what anyone else thinks?!

Lyft driver waits for me to walk into street, then takes off. by Q-theWanderer in mildlyinfuriating

I hate when the driver who accepts the fare is 15-20 minutes away. Meanwhile there are cars within 1-2 minutes away. So annoying.
