Are items sold on Yoogi's Closet replicas or authentic originals?

Every item listed for sale on Yoogi's Closet has been authenticated by our in-house trained professionals. Please note that while Yoogi’s Closet offers a 100% Money Back Guarantee of Authenticity, Yoogi’s Closet is not endorsed, licensed by, or affiliated with any brand owners - nor have any brand owners participated in the authentication of the products offered on this website or in the training of Yoogi’s Closet authenticators. Learn more about our Guaranteed Authentic items.

What condition are the items in?

We are selective in the luxury goods we purchase and generally sell only new, like new or gently used items. Gently used items have minimal signs of soiling, abrasions, stains, scratches or tears. Leather is supple and devoid of creasing. Natural tan leather has darkened due to contact with air and human skin although there are no signs of staining. Occasionally, we may list for sale vintage items that have been well loved and it shows. Many fashionistas agree that many items in this condition look there best and brandish these items with pride. 
Every item includes a detailed description of its condition and images of any slight flaws or signs of wear. We do not sell items that are damaged beyond regular wear and tear. This includes items with broken hardware, zippers, significant tears or stains.
 

Are pre-owned items cleaned or reconditioned prior to being listed for sale?

Absolutely. Leather goods go through a multi-step cleaning and rejuvenation process prior to sale which includes heating the item (yes, we gently heat leather items prior to conditioning to assist in the absorption of nourishing oils), conditioning and cleaning the exterior, cleaning the interior, and polishing hardware. Jewelry is cleaned, polished and in many cases reconditioned by the manufacturer. For example, our Tiffany jewelry is sent back to Tiffany & Co. to be professionally polished.
 

Do items come with original packaging and paperwork?

Items that come with their original boxes, dust bags, authenticity certificates, and manuals will contain the appropriate message in their product descriptions. Every order that ships is presented and packaged to standards that match or exceed luxury retail stores. See what arrives with your order.
 

Are the images shown on your website of the actual items listed for sale?

Yes, we take detailed images of every product that we sell. We do our best to provide images of areas of wear for a pre-owned item.
 

Can I be notified when a particular item arrives into inventory?

Looking for a particular item that we don't currently have in our inventory? You can save your search and receive your search results by email automatically when new items arrive that match!
 

Do you offer gift cards?

Do I have to pay sales tax?

We collect sales tax for orders shipped to California and Washington.
 

Do you offer layaway or financing?

As alternatives to layaway, we offer financing through Affirm or PayPal Credit. Both allow you to take immediate delivery of your purchase while offering the ability to pay off your balance over time. If you wish to select these payment options, please select either Affirm or PayPal payment methods at order checkout.
 

Do you have a showroom or retail store where I can shop in person?

Can you mark an item as a gift or declare for lesser value to save on duties and taxes?

Do I need to include my invoice to return an item?

While it is not required, including your invoice with the completed return form with your return shipment will help us process your refund faster. If you no longer have your invoice for the order, you can login to your Yoogi’s Closet account and print a new one. If no identifying information is provided with a return, there may be delays in processing your return.
 

I bought a sale item. Is it eligible for return?

Yes - all items, including sale items, are eligible for return.

Are there restocking fees?

There is no restocking fee to return an item to us as long as the conditions of our return policy are met. Please note that we do monitor accounts for return activity and will handle accounts with frequent returns on a case-by-case basis. In some cases, a 15% restocking fee will apply if the return activity is excessive, but we will work with our valued customers to assist in making more informed purchases before a restocking fee is implemented.
 

Selling Your Items

What items can I sell?

We buy authentic pre-owned luxury goods that have been gently used, with no significant defects. If the item has been repaired, it must have been done so at a factory authorized repair center. We are selective in the designers we buy and sell and generally do not focus on designers that have a strong presence in outlet stores or discount retailers. If you are shipping your items from outside the US, please note that we cannot accept any items constructed of endangered species, CITES, endangered wildlife, or exotic skins. This includes Alligator, Crocodile, Lizard, Ostrich, and Python. See the complete list of designers we buy.
 

Do you offer consignment sales?

Absolutely! We're committed to selling your items quickly while bringing the best value within the pre-owned luxury goods market. With our effective merchandising and market reach, 80% or our luxury items sell within 30 days. Best of all, we charge a low 30% consignment fee. Learn more about our consignment service.
 

How long does it take to receive my check?

All checks are mailed via USPS First Class Mail. Please allow up to 7 business days after you have accepted our final offer for your check to be processed and delivered. Please note that checks mailed internationally can take an additional 5 business days to be delivered. 
 

Why do I need to create an account to sell something?

Creating an account enables you to see and administer your complete selling activity from your MY QUOTES page. You can check the status on multiple quote submissions along with any items being sold on consignment. Creating an account prior to sending us your items also eliminates any paperwork to print out (yay!).
 

Can I choose to sell something directly to you after it remains unsold on consignment?

Absolutely! You can elect for direct purchase of your consignment items at any time. Contact us at sell@yoogiscloset.com and we will arrange for prompt payment of your consignment items.
 

Will my consignment item be listed on eBay in addition to your site? If so, will I be responsible for the additional fees?

We do list a subset of our consignment inventory on eBay and applicable fees are deducted from proceeds if sold through auction. If you prefer to opt out of eBay, please let us know and we will list your item on our webstore exclusively.
