Hi, so sorry if this has been asked before (I’m fairly new and started reading the last 10 pages of this post) but I am based in London UK and interested to know if purchasing from a US PS like opulenthabits/orchmelia etc will charge taxes/customs on top?

Does anyone have recommendations for sellers that ship to the UK ideally with savings on retail because it’s secondhand or other reasons? (I spoke to cuteandchiclife and it was above retail in the UK). I’m on the hunt for a dior black grained w gold Hw saddle (sold out online) and a small Chanel classic caviar.
I sent you a message!

I have been Following Avoirlamode Instagram closely and happened to realize profile is not available. I texted her she say facing some technical issue with Instagram.

i wanted to purchase a Chanel bag from her since jul 20 till now still worry will it be a scam as there is no review feedback can be found. kindly let us know anyone purchased from her before.
 
I also wanted an item from chanel_vintage_sale, I see on her IG that she actually have a store, however I’m not located in her country. Can anyone confirm if she’s legit? I read the comments above that she’s not so easy to communicate, but I’m more concerned if she’s selling legit items. Please comment if you have experienced with her, thank you!

Yes, she's legit. She's quite active in the Chanel facebook groups and posts her items there as well. Would recommend getting the item you want to purchase authenticated prior, just for your peace of mind!

Hi ladies! Thank you so much for this thread as I can totally relate! I bought my first bag at the boutique but I am now exploring the pre-loved market for future purchase.

Does anyone have a recent transaction with Timeless Luxuries from Australia? I’ve read some reviews about it here but they were a few years back just thinking maybe someone has a recent experience?

Thanks in advance!
 
Hello everyone, here are my shopping experience with some of Instagram sellers.

Coco_Approved ( Tim ) : Coco Approved is based in HK. I got my first pre-loved Chanel bag at Coco Approved. Tim is absolutely honest, lovely and professional. He was always patient and responsive to all of my questions. I had 5 transactions with Tim and it all went well. I totally trust Tim, especially with my bank transfer and I highly recommend him for everyone. You guys should check his website frequently because you may find a unicorn. Coco_Approved’s pricing is reasonable and ethical, especially after Chanel’s price increase in May.
I personally adore Tim so much ! He is really friendly and we occasionally have small talk about other things than handbags.

Dearluxe ( Amy ) : Another lovely seller from HK. I had a little trouble with DHL and Amy was really responsible with helping me to resolve the problem. Dearluxe has the prettiest packaging I haver ever seen ! Amy was responsive and nice to me. Occasionally, Dearluxe has some rare unicorns on its instagram’s stories. I would love to shop with her again !!

Timlesslikeaudrey ( Cecilia ) : She is based in Australia. She is very reputable so some of her items are sold at a premium. You will surely get what you pay for ! She has the best quality pre-loved handbags. There are so many rare unicorns at her store so you have to be really fast ( and lucky ). To me, Cecilia was also nice, honest and responsive. If you send her a message directly via WA, she will respond back really fast. She sent me nearly 30 photo of the bag I bought lol.

Fashion_Addict93 ( Selina ) : I barely shop with U.S based shoppers because my first experience was awful; however, Selina has changed my opinion on this. She was EXTREMELY patient and responsive to all of my questions and concerns. Selina is honest and straight forward so buying with her was very easy. She helped me to source a highly sought after handbag from last year ( dark Beige Claire in small size / 28 series ). Her fees are reasonable ! I highly recommend Selina for anyone who is looking for rare items.

Luxurytholic ( Lau ) : A member of this forum recommended Lau for me. She is based in HK and UK so she can source highly sought after items outside of America. My transaction with luxurytholic is still pending but so far, she is great. I will come back and update for y’all after my purchase is completed.

( 3 out 5 Chanel bags in the attached photo are from Coco_approved. There was another mini bag in denim blue ( also from Coco_approved ) but I rehomed her before taking this picture :-(. I hope everyone finds my post helpful :D thank you for reading !! )

Has anyone successfully bought something from luxxlover? I've messaged her a few times about some items on her insta over the past year and she doesn't respond. Understand she gets alot of messages but not sure if I'm on her blacklist or something.
Same here. I guess she is usually busy and overwhelmed with the amount of messages she receives
