Would they ship to mainland?

I bought a zippy coin purse from Hawaii for $405. Mainland price of the purse is $450 and the sales tax is higher too.

Actually US mainland price of the same purse is $475 not $450.

The coin purse that costs $475 is $405 in Hawaii and they will ship to the mainland

they ship to the mainland, but it won't reduce the cost by much b/c you'd be charged the tax rate for your address and not for Hawaii.

i think this was just recently covered in another thread? the prices can be lower on some select items. Hawaii's biggest tourist population is from Japan/Asia, so their pricing can sometimes reflect the Asian market. the tax is also very low in Hawaii, it is slightly over 3%, so even if the item you like is priced the same as on the mainland you will pay less for everything overall b/c of the low tax rate. unless you happen to live in a tax-free state yourself.

Are there any Chanel boutiques in sales tax-free states? That might be handy to know

I wonder if Hawaii boutique's Boy is as cheap as Asia... Old Med was $3800 before tax in Korea last winter. Probably not though, huh?

I was just at the Chanel Store in Honolulu today. THE classic caviar black WOC is now $2140. same price as mainland?

It's $2100 in California, but we have 8% sales tax!

No. The med boy in Hawaii is 4700 - the same as the mainland.

California sales tax is determined by county... it varies between 7.25 and 10%.. some of us poor souls pay 10%

no boutiques, but they are located in dept. stores... Nordstroms, i believe. and some tax-free states (like Montana/Alaska) have no Chanel at all.

I didn't take a photo and I don't have the code but Honolulu Ala Moana and the Waikiki store near DFS both had stock. I was on holidays in USA and I thought I could find it cheaper back home in Australia due to the weak AUD but now I can't find it in Sydney...we only have the silver version.
