Hi guys! I just joined the community because i was so amazed by the fact that everyone here is so active and everyone's willing to share their information so freely! My mother promised me a chanel 2.55 for my birthday and i am really excited and am doing a research on considering the location to buy it, will post a few questions and i'm hoping some kind souls who are chanel-divas will help me out! (: thank you.
1. I will be heading to USA in May, based on the revised price ($2870USD for jumbo 2.55), is the prices same for all boutiques? Or should i visit the airport? Or should i go to a particular state like New York or Los Angeles to buy? Is it advisable to buy from chanel boutiques or giant departmental malls which also carry chanel? Which is the best boutique to visit? We are not allowed to do tax refund if we have a student/ work visa right?
2. From reading the thread, i gathered that knowing the SA will help you get a lower quoted price, does it work for everyone? Also, given the number from the boutique in London, can i call and ask them to enquire on the price/ if possible get them to ship it to Singapore, how much will it roughly come up to? Should i ask for a particular SA that will quote me the best price? Any recommendations for people who ordered through phone previously?
Which sounds like a feasible plan to get chanel with the highest cost-saving? Singapore's definitely out of the budget, a lambskin jumbo black 2.55 cost: $4900 = $3245USD/ 4017 CAD/ 5051 AUD/ 2258 GBP/ 2500 EUR.
I'm sorry that i've got so many questions, although some of the information are available in other thread, i would love to have a more holistic picture before i make my first chanel purchase. I am so excited! Thank you for your help and advice in advance. (:
love, V.
