DHL called today wanting to know the material and cost, since it was only in aed not usd. They did not ask for my ss#. It should go through customs soon...

 It's here!!! - from half way around the world... my Juda Matita Belly! It came through customs very quickly once I submitted the papers for cost and materials.)Thank you, Juda for all your help and guidance. I could not have done this myself!  I have not yet received the customs bill, but the cost of the handbag was under the cost in the US... With shipping (DHL is very high, and bank charges from both ends) I comes to $200-300 more than the sales price. If you look at what the resellers ("bag speculators") on eBay are asking for the bags that they purchased during the sale, and consider that this bag is very desired and contested, the price would have been much higher were I to even find it on eBay (or another marketplace). So for a relatively small premium (when compared to the sales price) I have it now, purchased from a BV boutique, and without the headaches (and possibly higher prices) of bidding, etc. A good solution for me! - and one less contender to drive up the auction price for others searching for the matita belly.

By the way, I wonder if shipping is expensive only from certain countries, mine from France was not expensive at all, international express for just 30 Euro. |

 We have your secret!!!: fat free pudding w/ lite cool whip will make my action shots as good as yours! But in my case, I will have to grow too!I think that I will just paint a large arrow to your reveal and state that mine looks just like yours...  ok, ok, we'll see what I can do about it later.

I don't know that answer to that - my cost was around $220 for DHL express. Make no mistake, though, it was worth it to me - especially considering the scarcity, and difficulty in locating one. I am very happy to have my bag!!! I do not particularly like the unending search and bidding - (much prefer BIN and offers). I do not even like the race to reach an SA for one bag when there is an avalanche of demand. I am definitely not a good impulse shopper... and I would never survive in Filene's Basement! To each his own, n'cest-ce pas? |
