Yup, just confirmed, do not provide this information. Sales associates don't need this in order to process transactions.

If they don't need this information - why are we all getting emails saying they do? Are they just weeding out USA customers since they assume we won't want to provide (rightfully!!) this information! If so - that bugs.

Great question. I think a lot of us are wondering this. There is not an item on this earth that I would provide that information for without necessity; certainly not a pair of sunglasses.

I actually emailed her back this morning and told her I didn't even have a passport, whatever, and she frankly replied "Then no sunglasses."

:rolleyes:

Wow - that's just awful - it's even worse if what the other poster said is true and they don't even need it to make the sale.
 
The only thing I have ever been asked for when buying overseas (not the store being discussed) is my driver's license copy and copy of front and back of CC card. It didn't seem unreasonable, to make sure the info matched
 
i actually didn't give her a copy of my passport. i took an iphone picture of my state-issued drivers license and that was fine. ???
weird. well. i know the reason for supplying my phone #, it's for DHL to track you down once the shipment arrives so that someone may physically sign for it.

i don't know. i think it's all legitimate.
here's some info on VAT refunds:

And that makes sense. But the SS # and passport request doesn't. Especially since... See below! This poster wasn't even required to give up what the rest of us were...? :shrugs:

Inconsistencies bother me - especially when it comes to this sort of thing. :nogood:

Well, she is telling the rest of us that a passport is absolutely necessary.

Also, we are not talking about phone numbers. We are talking about social security numbers.
 
I have been buying from them for years & I have had to fax them a copy of my passport every time. I'm in Scotland UK & so it's nothing to do with a tax refund b/c I don't qualify for one living in Europe. No other country asks for this apart from France. She is extremely abrupt, I often receive one word replies :P

That's good to know! I'm actually interested in ordering something, but have so much difficulty since she either replies with one-word answers or not at all. Do you know any other contacts at Printemps? :smile1:
 
Hi girls, you've all been very helpful with your advices :) I have contacted Printemps, Marie never answered so I have sent an email to Paulo and hope to get a response as soon as possible. I was just wondering - this site someone mentioned, Voguest, would you buy from them? I have found large Celines (they are the ones I'm looking for, of course :D) http://www.voguest.com/CELINE-SC1755N-Black-sunglasses.html , how come no one buys from them? Fake/unreliable site or..? Thx for your help!
