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.

luxxedition was such a pleasure to work with. i was on the market for a diana and was researching (stalking) the internet all weekend long...ig, fashionphile, realreal, rebag, poshmark, etc. i actually found luxxedition through her poshmark postings. it just happens that she has a red (my favorite color) diana in lamb for sale. i would have preferred a caviar but the prices are through the roof these days. she's so knowledgeable on dianas and shared that red is a rare color since it was only produced in limited quantities for two seasons. she sent me so many pictures and videos. we talked about the quality of vintage lamb since i was concern that it would be high maintenance. the bag came with a full box set - chanel box, authenticity card, dustbag, and hologram was intact also! it was listed as pristine condition and when i received the bag, my jaw dropped.

the bag's condition was so so so good...i saw pictures and videos but they didnt even come close. my husband saw it and said how is that a 25 yr old bag. he actually was holding the bag and inspecting it! she was flexible on payment plan since i have a daily limit paying through zelle. she shipped the bag lightning fast. i made my final payment in the morning and she already shipped it that same afternoon.

i'm so glad i found luxxedition on ig and would buy from her again.

Just want to say Gail from the account looking_for_luxe is amazing, fast in responding, so helpful, and honest. I ordered a pair of Chanel boots with her and had to exchange sizes and she was so patient and helped with the exchange quickly. Also very reasonable with fees and can’t recommend her enough!

Looks like insta seller love_chanel_vintage is based in Hong Kong. I am in the US.
For overseas customer they only accept <Transferwise> payment.
I hear that wire transfer is risky because there is no way to get your money bag if they don't ship or ship a different bag.

Has anyone bought from this seller? What was your experience?
I am at 60% don't buy and 40% maybe worth the risk.

Thank you

I’ve taken a look at their ig just now, love_chanel_vintage is a personal shopper for vintage bags from Japan. You’ll have to pay 50% deposit to order the bag you want, and all sales final. They do have some good reviews on Carousell which is a local selling platform. Hope this helps.
