I highly recommend Authenticate First! The fees are very low and the turn around time is fast. I wouldn't never buy preloved again without using this service first. Great service! 5stars!
I'm have been always satisfied by using authenticate first! Great competence and professionalism! I have to give a 5 stars review :)) )
This company is so ridiculous and very Unprofessional. They don't know what they're doing and don't know how to authenticate purses. I purchased a Prada backpack online and when I received it, I sent them pictures so they can Authenticate it for me. The next day I went on their website because I hadn't gotten any feedback or anything and they posted on their site that it was authentic but never Notifying me of anything. There was certain things that were red flags to me on the backpack that showed me it was in-fact fake so I let them know and they assumed that the seller must have gotten it repaired. I ended up asking the owner if the bag was ever repaired and it was not, but they just insisted it was repaired instead of telling me it was a fake even after I told them it was not repaired and I was not able to get my money back. This is a lesson learned to do more research before I buy preloved and to never to use this business again. They were just trying to cover their lies because they claimed a fake bag was authentic.
I like using this service especially when you want to buy preloved items. I hope they can improve their performance.
Have used authenticate first twice now and both times the turnaround has been quick and efficient. I recommend!
Very happy with the service! Website is easy to navigate, got a response in a timely manner, very professional and reliable. Will use them again!
Excellent and fast service! I could recommend to anyone. Trustworthy place to authenticate the bags you love!
I had a few items authenticated by Authenticate First and they were awesome! I highly recommend them!
Apparently AuthenticateFirst does not have the expertise to authenticate every product out there. This company has TWICE made an error on David Yurman jewelry pieces, not having the requisite knowledge about David Yurman stand alone store items and the AUTHENTIC but slightly different items DY makes for retail outlets (like Saks and Nordstrom) so as not to be competing with them directly AND the items they manufacture for specialty causes or groups. So... they are NOT the be-all, know-all of every item out there. Yes, I took both my items directly to a huge DY retail store where an experienced older gentleman explained all the iterations of the DY manufacturing plants and some of the items they scale down for affordability (smaller stones, lesser mm sterling cuffs, etc.) He was particularly nice to me and was taken aback that someone would deny the authenticity of clearly authentic items.
BOTTOM LINE HERE: AuthenticateFirst may or may not be a legitimate company but they CLEARLY don't know everything about everything.
SELLERS should avoid Tradesy because they have apparently been drinking the kool-aid. But they will not change their mind on anything even if you have proof of authenticity. My guess is there is some collusion (kickbacks?) between Tradesy and AuthenticateFirst.
Services are very prompt. I go to another authentic ation services and Authenticate 1st is the one you can count on.
I have used Authenticate First whenever I need to verify if a designer bag is legit. They have never failed me.
Very good company, I will use their services again! Fast, easy and trustful. Best company tonauthenticate high end products.
Fast turnaround and great customer service. I highly recommend Authenticate First to both buyers and sellers.
I have used AF for years now and they only get better and faster. The website keeps with the times. Return times are fast and easy.
This is my 3 time using this service. Great price for good and fast service. I highly recommend it

Answer: We have been in business for over 5 yrs - I'm sorry you did not receive what you expected - but that is no reason to continuously slander and harass us.

Answer: Yes, we have a sneaker expert who only authenticates sneaker brands.
Answer: Thank you for reaching out. It's important to understand that counterfeit bags often use real date codes, meaning the same serial number can appear on both authentic and fake items. Date codes alone are not a reliable indicator of authenticity, as they do not verify details such as font, placement, materials, and craftsmanship. If you have concerns about your bag, we recommend relying on the comprehensive authentication process conducted by our experts who examine multiple factors beyond just the date code. Let us know if you'd like further assistance.

You are going off of 1 aspect of this bag, which is not an indication of authenticity. This is a USED bag and who knows what happened to it in it's former life.
Sloppy stitching is not an indication of authenticity - especially with brand quality continually going down. We cannot call a bag fake due to the stitching, it would
Need many more indicators. You should get a 2nd opinion.
