Hey guys, I was thinking of ordering from Balenciaga Paris and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them?
I'm in Singapore so I'm a little anxious about the shipping costs and whether or not they'll know what I'm talking about because returns will be a pain :Push:

Thanks in advance!

I just ordered from them the other day (I'm in the US) and got great service. There was no tax and I believe the shipping fee was 53.39 euros. I received my bag within three days. You'll need access to a fax machine to place an order. They'll send you a purchase form via fax and you'll return it to them along with copies of your cc info and id. They knew about the different colors I was speaking of (I used the french color names rather than what BalNY uses) and most SA's speak fluent english. Good luck!

glossgal......The SA I used was Nathalie. I've also spoken to a few other SA's there on different occassion and they were all very helpful. They prefer you contact them via phone.


akisato......I'm not sure if I'm answering question correctly but they take credit/debit cards. You need to provide your card info via fax rather than phone and make photo copies of your cards and id.


griffinhearts......not sure if they are cheaper than AR. My PT normally would be $1645 through BalNY and at BalParis, it was $1528 including shipping.

and girlfriend I heard they didn't bring in any wallet/small violet pieces (that's waht I was told) but they're getting stuff in in batches so you should give them a call.. I got the number off the balenciaga.com site!

girlfriend.....you need to call to see what's available.

gallicaroses.......I wasn't charged customs for this purchase. I don't know if I just lucked out or what? The only thing I paid extra for was shipping.

I think on larger charges you pay, usually they ship with DHL or LVR ships with Fedex, you dont pay on the spot, they bill you. Its usually 10% of the value + a small fee. On an LVR purchase of $2100 I paid about $230 to fedex, the bill came like 45 days after delivery. I have also received purchases for under $500 and never had to pay duty.

it depends also, some places have the duty pre-paid (they dont take off the VAT).

Bal Paris takes off the VAT but you end up paying half what you saved in customs duties. Most of the time they are on key and charge you for smaller charges maybe not, but then it may jist be pure luck. In all my purchases from the UK, Paris, Italy anything over $500 I have paid duty.

But dont let that scare you away because they take off the vat, and by doing that, the end price with the duty charged is still a little less of whatever the USA price is. I hope this makes sense.....
