Frequently Asked Questions

S H O P P I N G

 

Are items sold on Samantha's Boutique Of Savannah replicas or authentic originals?

I take careful measures to ensure that every item listed for sale is authentic. I am a verified and trusted seller of Authenticate First which is one of the largest and most well-known authenticating companies on the web. Please visit www.AuthenticateFirst.com to verify this if you wish!


What condition are the items in?

I purchase and generally sell new, like new or gently used items. Gently used items have minimal signs of wear. Every item includes a detailed description of its condition and images of any slight flaws or signs of wear. Occasionally, I may list for sale vintage items that have been well loved and it shows. I 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 be listed for sale?

Yes! Leather goods are cleaned and rejuvenated prior to sale which includes lightly heating the item (yes, I gently heat leather items prior to conditioning to assist in the absorption of nourishing oils), conditioning with leather conditioner and cleaning the exterior, and cleaning the interior.
 

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!
 

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

Yes, I take very detailed images of every product that I sell. I do my best to provide images of areas of wear for a pre-owned item.
 

Do you offer gift cards?

I do not offer gift cards at the moment, but I do occasionally have sales so make sure to check my store often for the best deals.
 

Can I pay with a money order?

No. I accept all credit cards, Paypal, PayPal Credit, Google Pay, and Apple Pay.

Do I have to pay sales tax?

Yes. Now it is required to pay sales tax on all online purchases, if you purchase on eBay. Payments made on Paypal invoices are not subject to sales taxes.

Do you offer layaway?

I currently do not offer layaway on my items. I do accept all major credit card payments.
