Hi all, my husband is in Berlin for work for two weeks. Just wondering if it is difficult for a tourist to get a picotin lock in Berlin? Appreciate your advice and comments. Thanks in advanced.
P/s I am from Australia.

Hi all, I have a question please!

I would like to purchase Hermes Bracelet Clic H Black/Rose Gold (H700001FO01PM) at the Hermes store at Frankfurt Airport. I’m flying from Singapore to Brussels with a transit in Frankfurt (Singapore-Frankfurt-Brussels). On the way back to Singapore, I’m flying Brussels-Zurich-Singapore. It seems that the only airport on my trip itinerary that has an Hermes shop is at Frankfurt airport Terminal 1.

I have the following questions :

(1) Is the price of items at Hermes at Frankfurt charged without the German VAT ? The price of H700001FO01PM listed on the Hermes site is €535. Would it be priced at say, €446 (or without the VAT charged) at the Hermes store of Frankfurt airport ?

(2) Am i allowed to purchase at a VAT-free price at Frankfurt airport in transit on my way to Brussels through Frankfurt ? (Because during this stage I am entering the EU, not leaving the EU)

(3) how can i know beforehand if there is stock of this item H700001FO01PM at Frankfurt Airport ? It seems there are 2 stores at Frankfurt airport. Do these stores have email addresses ?

thanks..

Hi! I am from Singapore too. I visited the hermes at Frankfurt Airport earlier this week and enquired about a bag. If I recall, we have to pay retail price and the shop will refund the VAT directly in cash.
 
I’m going to Stuttgart for business next week and will visit the boutique. Has anyone been to the Stuttgart store lately? Not looking for a bag, just wondering how the inventory is and if it’s a franchise...

Hey :-) Yes it is a franchise. Very small and located at Breuninger department store. It‘s my home store but I shopped at the Munich store the last few months because the inventory in Stuttgart is really low.

I hope you’ll find something nice.

A new big H store (not franchise) will be opening next year.

since your next stop from FRA is Brussel, so you will have to pay full price and then get your item stamped before leaving brussel on your way back to SGP. You can also try Zurich H shop, they sometime have good stuffs too, but your have to do seperate detax as Zurich is not EU. It's super complicated. You might try to call the shop in advance to see if the item you desire is available for not.
