Had to try and get a vintage Issey Miyaki jacket I bought legit checked to try and file for a refund because I suspected it to be fake upon seeing it in person. Despite highlighting everything I noticed myself was fake, and resubmitting multiple rounds of photos every time, they constantly refused to legit check it because they said they don't have the experience to do so... Don't know why they advertise verifying Issey Miyaki to begin with then :( anyways, they just basically took my $40 and said they can't do anything about it and that was that...

This service is a joke. They have no idea what they are doing. It is impossible to send digital documents proving that your item is authentic. They cannot authenticate an item simply due to its quality and other characteristics either. I have had several items that ARE literally Authenticated by a 3 party service, which I know are real, items with actual receipts and proof of purchase that they could not Authenticate. Do not waste your time & money!
