“A petulant lone keyboard warrior is the entirety of customer service”

You heard me. Your ridiculous and unhinged responses to me asking to verify details that I didn't have access had me raising an eyebrow. But your defensiveness? How do you still have a job? I guess biz is that good, eh? Listen people: Gilt. Poshmark. 1stDibs. Go there. The service is better, the merchandise is authentic. And in the event your parcel remains undelivered, you won't have to deal with a two-year-old who is mad at the entire world that their job involves some tact. The rest of your garbage is being returned. You clearly need it more than I do.

“Wrong item received. Charged me to return.”

I ordered a saint Laurent belt. I received the wrong brand of belt. They refuse to send me the correct item, and are making me pay $13 to return the item they sent by mistake. Not sure why you would change the customer when you made the mistake and sent the wrong item. Then proceed to do nothing about it. I do not recommend this company. You are better off shopping from somewhere else

Fake items! I messed up and ordered a Gucci bag that Ive wanted for a couple years and thought since it was discounted it was because it was possibly aging out since it's not the popular gold hardware. Anyway, knew the bag was fake when it showed up it broken stitches. Hired an authenticator online and they confirmed it was fake. I sent an email to Bluefly with the certificate confirming the flaws and it was fake. Bluefly responded with the normal lies that counterfeit companies would say, they are third party and their products are legit. They even said the company I hired wasn't certified. So they are calling the other company liars. What Bluefly doesn't realize some people won't allow you to defraud them and say nothing. My job is going after fraudulent people and companies. I will be reporting and exposing this fraulent company to everyone, refund or not.

Made purchase, don't fit, returned. Zero communication and customer service. Plus time to process a return is exorbitant. Price competitive but lots of better option with actual communication and some customer service. Shop elsewhere

The website had a huge problem. Ordered a shirt they sent me three of them and sent the order to the old address. Now they are giving me hard time to return them.
Does anyone know general return address?

Hi Tamari,

I am so sorry to hear about your experience and can understand your frustration. We do not have a general returns address as we are a marketplace and work with many different vendors.

Do you mind private messaging us your details, including email address and order number so we can look into this for you?

I look forward to hearing from you.

My Bluefly purse is my favorite. They provide excellent customer service. This store made ordering my new purse the easiest I've ever done. It was enjoyable. Only free shipping could have improved it.

My first time buying consigned (except for ebay and Etsy). This site is a gosh diddly scam, whatever they Were, they are No More.
What's happened to me, like many reviews below, is that a wrong address was automatically chosen, with no recourse to rectify the situation. They have a disclaimer that they do not cancel orders or change addresses. How am I one of many people who's 'wrong address' was automatically inputed. This is a scam. Based on other reviews you probably don't want it anyway, but I am going to try my hardest to get my money back. Even if the package is undelivered, read below what fun adventure awaits. Call 911, I have been robbed. Disgraceful. Blew fly boogers all over that nasty warehouse floor while they steal your credit card info and scam you into a purchase you can't back out of. I'm calling the FBI. I will get that money back, Mark my words.

Tip for consumers:
I am not hopeful this will be resolved. This should be illegal and probably is. You don't act like you are a real vendor because you are a robber.

I confirmed with customer support that the NEW BV belt I want as a gift was gonna come in the original BV box. However, it came in a generic white cardboard box and it was badly scratched. Here's the customer service response when I asked for a return. Even at a discount bluefly should offer goods as advertised but the customer service person pretty much told me that I should expect to be scammed. This better-than-thou attitude is astonishing as they're in wrong in the first place.

Bought my daughter a pair of earrings from Blue Fly this year and paid for expedited shipping so they would arrive by Christmas. They sent me completely the wrong item, and have done exactly nothing to correct their mistake. We are a week past Christmas, and I still don't have the gift I paid for. Awful experience. People make mistakes, but refusing to correct them and leaving your customers hanging out to dry is not ok. Buyer Beware.

I ordered sneakers. After almost 2 weeks and I did not receive notification of my order status. I contacted the merchant via email and was given the "runaround" and told to be patient. This is my first experience with this merchant and my last. My recommendation, don't buy anything from this merchant.

Tip for consumers:
The merchant shouldn't chastise a paying customer for inquiring about order status.

First off they messed up and sent me a wrong item. Then I got lectured for not creating an rma for all of my items being returned (which was because the system was only letting me choose one item), by a very rude person Who should definitely not be working in customer service. Terrible attitude, condescending and I will truly never ever ever recommend or use this site again.

Don’t.

I just ordered a dress from Bluefly and regrettably checked the reviews of this site after I had placed the order. Shocked that this company does not respond to the vast number of negative reviews it receives. Hoping that my experience prompts me to write a positive review to refute some of the serious complaints against this site. I think the lack of HUMAN phone support for customers is the worst of all grievances - and no reason for it. Fingers crossed that I can follow this statement up with a favorable review of the site.

I recently purchased a Balenciaga bag. Upon opening, I immediately suspected counterfeit. There is no serial # anywhere, the number of holes in shoulder strap each side were 13...should be 12. The inside was not cotton canvas as described. The " lambskin" doesn't look real. The dustbag was like parchment. I contacted Bluefly via email(they don't have a phone#, and refuse to converse via phone). They sent a slew of pre made denial texts, going back to theme that all their " merchandise is authentic". When I pointed out all the discrepancies they got hostile. They then said I have a " history of doing this making them suspicious of fraud!". This is blatantly untrue. I went to credit card company who are currently being helpful. I also reported to BBB in Fla. They did their part, but said company just sticks to a denial format, and a " final sales" theme, ignoring that they sold knowing/unknowingly a counterfeit. BBB says they have numerous complaints about Bluefly. I notified AARP, who were very helpful. They also identified them on a list with very poor consumer ratings. There are no email or # for any corporate members of Bluefly, which are located in NYC. So buyer beware.

Tip for consumers:
I should have read online reviews stating they are indeed selling counterfeits, along with authentic merchandise.

I purchased a Balenciaga handbag, which is counterfeit.

All the stuff is great and low priced, but the shipping is a $#*!ing disaster. On most items, it says ships in one to two business days, but mine took at least 7 to be put in the mail. Its not even like these are fake products from china. I have no idea what is up with the shipping system at Bluefly, but if you can wait for your items, go for it.

Avoid this company. My order was never delivered, they asked me to file a claim with USPS which I did. The outcome of the claim is that USPS confirmed the order was not delivered and blue fly is still refusing to issue a refund. Really poor business practices.

Bought Saint Laurent bag from bluefly. When it arrived, the bag came with box, dust bag. The bag is new and authentic. The biggest problem was it didn't came with an authenticity card. Contacted customer service, they said since they got the bag from another company (rue lala), there's no way for them to get the card. That lowers the value of the bag. I didn't return the bag since it's authentic and bought it for a really good price.

I tried to purchase a pair of Common Project shoes in a size 5.
The confirmation came through as a size 9 and Bluefly blamed me for their mistake and sent the wrong size despite numerous emails from me asking them to cancel the transaction.
They were not helpful and actually abusive.
I have been a heavy consumer of designer fashion for almost 50 years and believe Bluefly is the worst platform. The worst!
Do yourself a favor any do not do business with this company.
Even if you have to pay more, skip this horrible web seller.
Buyer beware!

Bluefly was my go to site for years. I bought quality clothing at a reasonable price. Lately, it's gone down hill. I've returned items in the past without a problem and wasn't charged a $20 return and restocking fee. I didn't check their return policy before ordering a dress last week because I didn't know their policy had changed. They wanted $20 to return a $38 dress! Thinking I had misread the information, I contacted their customer service department, asking for clarification. Yep, they wanted that much money to return the item! I also asked if I could pay for the shipping fees myself using a carrier of my choice to avoid their inflated fee. I was informed that I could pay the postage myself, but I would still be charged the $20 fee for restocking. I'm done! I will never order from Bluefly again! Price gauging is not a good look, Bluefly! In addition, their sizing guide is way off! Now I'm stuck with a dress at least two sizes too small. Waste of money!

Tip for consumers:
Check the return policy before ordering. The return and restocking fee might be more than the item itself.

Bluefly will not allow you to exchange an item purchased that is the wrong size. Even if they have the right one in stock. I got sucked into buying a pair of shoes for a gift for my daughter that didn't fit. It didn't occur to me to check their exchange policy beforehand. My bad. However, I don't think I have ever purchased anything I could not exchange for the correct size. They also charge a restocking fee. As well as postage. Which is understandable, but my 87.xx purchase ended up in a refund of 60.xx. Not cool.

Tip for consumers:
Don't buy anything you may want to exchange.

None. I returned. It was too small.
