I make an order and arrive very quickly actually i call and then help me wt my wrong address before delivery great customer service
Wish I'd read the reviews of others before I ordered from Rue La La which has been a total waste of time and money. Very slow & inefficient and the so-called customer service link is useless - they just lie. In the end I've received something that did not arrive in time, is not what I wanted, and cannot be returned. The whole experience has been horrendous - stay clear!

Please be careful with this website. They sent me a damaged or defective ysl sandals. I tried to at least exchange it and they refused it. After one wear logo came off, and I have a same pair in brown for 2 years now and this never happened. They are scamming people
I made an order. First - size was run too small. Rulala do not notify about it.Its happened very often. Need return and again pay shipping or stick with credit. Second - after 5 day one item I got, went down on price. I ask for the price match. They don't want to do it - "big policy" -they don't want work with price. Greed. You bought - that what you have. Rulala have a lot of issues.Not worst to shop with.
Horrible customer service. Charges you, never ships product and reuses to give money back tells you keep waiting - three weeks! Uses your money to float their bank account.
Tip for consumers:
Uses customer money to float their bank account by never shipping product but charging you anyhow.

I've placed a few orders on this web site. I had a very strange thing happen a few days ago. I was looking at the item and it was $112.00. When I placed it in my cart, the same item in the cart was over $200. I called RueLaLa and the customer service person ("Glory") explained that the prices fluctuate and she wasn't able to do anything. I took a quick screen shot of the lower price and Glory told me to submit it to the customer service email and I would be refunded the difference. I was worried that it wouldn't happen because they have so many terrible reviews, but I did receive an email today that the difference was refunded. In addition, an item that I purchased dropped in price and I was given a store credit. The items that I have received in the past were in good condition and they are authentic. This business is like the Gilt.com outlet. They are related to one another and both require you to be a "member" in order to do business with them. The prices can be good, and if you are willing to wait, they will usually get better.
I'm disappointed to see products on their site that are found elsewhere cheaper.
They have a toy targeting game that they claim is worth $300. They sell it for $50.
" Shooting Game Toy for Age 6, 7, 8,9,10+ Years Old Kids, Boys - 2pk Air Guns & Shooting Target"
I bought it on amazon for $30.
I can't trust their marketing anymore.
I purchased a Christian Louboutin sneaker from them on Jan 23. After wearing it twice, the CL Paris label fell off. I went to the CL store and asked for suggestions on which repair shop I can use. The store told me the sneaker is fake. So I called Ruelala. They told me it's over their 90 days warranty and there is nothing they can do (now is July). Lesson learned... this site sells fake goods. I spent about $800 plus tax, I should just buy it from Neiman and pay $200 more for a real one. Don't buy from them!
Tip for consumers:
Awful experience

Got a wrong size jacket. One rep told me either it was a mistake or when ran out of the size and sent me another size. Whattt? They offered a $50 credit for the inconvenience. Yeah i will shop there really soon. What a waste of time spending on phone for unhelpful responses.
I purchased 2 Thairapy 365 blowdryers from Ruelala and what I received were incomparable to the one I currently have. The ones from Ruelala are FAKE! They were heavy, noisy, without infrared light for scalp and folicle therapy! Do not buy from this site!
Tip for consumers:
That it scored poorly with Trustpilot!

I ordered two watches and only received one, but was charged for two. They couldn't tell me if there was another one available and that they would issue a refund in 2 to 3 weeks. I still am getting email surveys about the order of two watches, which I keep telling them I only received one.
If something doesn't fit and you have to return or exchange it- they CHARGE you shipping AGAIN. And if you received free shipping with the original order- they take that back too. So instead of charging you 9.99 for the return- they charge you 19.99. So you LOSE money by ordering with them. Find another site.
Your only other option is for a store credit and with big ticket items- it isn't worth it to have hundreds of dollars held by their site.
Long time major customer of RueLaLa - numerous shipping errors, wrong items shipped, damaged items, lack of follow through from customer service. For example; RueLaLa is placing a value of $120 on items that are picked incorrectly with an MSRP of $25. I unfortunately ordered three of these for gifts with different addresses. Only part of the order showed up. Every order is now an issue. It's exhausting to try to correct all of the errors. I'm deleting the app and looking elsewhere. I purchased about 250 items a year. Bye Bye Rue
They sell fake. If you go do more research you will know I am not the only purchased fake good. There is great amount of people purchased fake. The worst case is the one I brought was new. I only found out now that I try to resell it. Don't be fool like. Used a fake bag for a couple years.
Tip for consumers:
Yes. Don’t buy from such scamming companies.

I'm really surprise of all the negative reviews because everything that I have purchase with Rue la la was and have been real and not fake. Real bags, great jewelry and skin care products. My only complaint is when it comes to getting a refund, you have to wait too long, like 3 to 4 week. I can admit, they are no QVC, HSN, Evine Live, etc. as it relates to getting your money back. Because of that, I will give Rue la la 4 stars.
I purchased a leather handbag for $99.99. Original price was $400. The zipper was super cheap quality. Then after using it for only a few weeks, the strap broke. I emailed their customer service and was told because the purchase was more than 30 days ago they couldn't issue a refund. The handbag was definitely not worth the original $400 price or even the reduced price of $99.99. I have better quality handbags that cost me $30 at Kohl's! I will never buy from Rue La La again!
Tip for consumers:
Don't buy their low quality stuff that they claim is high quality "designer" stuff.

I ordered over $2500 of home decor. Fed Ex left some of the at the wrong address. The rest was never found. This includes 2 rugs & some wall hangings. Loss Prevention said "too bad". I have photos of items & Ring door bell as proof. "Dispute it on your credit card" is the only advice they had for me. Theft!
Knowing this website for many years back, and I just started to buy from this flash sale company. Surprisingly the shopping experience was not bad. Only thing to improve is the shipping can be tad bit faster. Skeptical first if the products are original, and it is! The price is really good comparing to others!
I will shop here again.
The worse compony to buy anything from. They don't take responsibility for delivery service they use and make you pay for packages you don't receive. FedEx is horrible but they still use them. Even after I had proof they still wouldn't do anything about it. Disgusting. Don't buy anything from them. You can get it for same price at the original store and have better customer service.
Tip for consumers:
Be careful they don't take responsibility for their shipping service FedEx, It becomes your problem, even if you have proof. Not worth it. I can get the same product from original store web site and with free shipping and sometime with more % off. They used to be great but not anymore.

Bought a Lancome Lip gloss from them. Came well packaged. Not goopy, like something old would get. Came quickly. Still waiting on the mascara I ordered at the same time. Definitely happy with their service. I like that you have a month of free shipping after you pay for shipping just once. Great service.
I used to buy here regularly and generally pleased. Site has gone downhill, clogged with merchandise. Still believed they sold authentic designer items until last week. Bought a pinko 'leather' belt that was garbage and looked like it made out of polyurethane plastic out of the box. Labels attached made to look like designer label actually said 'fabricated in China' and "100% polyurethane". No response from them yet pinko brand is all over their site still!
Terrible customer service! First, my shipment took an excessive amount of time to arrive. Then, a part of my purse was missing (strap). After 3weeks of back and forth, I was able to finally get a return authorization and I shipped it back the next day. Over a week since they confirmed they received it back and I'm still waiting for my credit card to be refunded. Very painful, and I will never shop with this site again and will definitely not recommend anyone else to shop here!
It's been a months since they got they item I purchased back and still no refund, I called 3 times each time I was told that they see the item was received and they will do a manual return, 3 times the same story and still no refund.
I ordered 2 face products that were supposedly worth hundreds of dollars for $39 each and a $800 dollar watch for $39. First the watch was huge and I have thick wrist and it kept making clinking trinket sounds. Very cheap looking. One of the face creams was packaged securely, but based on the 2nd cream I'm afraid they might be fakes and harm my skin. The second cream, the box was moldy looking and disgusting from the cream somehow escaping the bottle. Not sure how yet. I'm posting pictures for reference. I paid a lot of money for international shipping and duty. I'm chalking this up to a lesson learned. Never again
Tip for consumers:
Do not by cosmetics or jewelry. Might be better off with clothing or shoes

Have not received item ordered about three weeks ago. Was texted that it was shipped. On phone 3times I called and Never answered.
I purchased a YSL handbag from them. The item was posted as final sale, and arrived looking kinda strange but I trusted them as I purchased other items before and they seemed to be good. 2 months later I still have some doubt about the YSL bag so I had it authenticated. Turn out it was a fake bag. Since it already passed their 30 days return time frame, of course they refused to refund me the money. I had to submit a claim to my credit card bank and still waiting... dont know if i'll ever get my money back. People, stay away from rue la la
