Can anyone do me a favor?
I'm going to Italy by this Saturday which is 18th August.
I m interested to get Chanel gst in 12A red caviar leather.
But my Malaysia number not able to contact the Chanel boutique. So I couldn't reserved the bag through phone.
Is there anyone has SA introduce to me? So I can reserved the GST red color with them?
I will be going to Milan, Florence, Roma, Venice.
If can reach them by email is better.
Or anyone can help me reserve on behalf?

I had the worst experience with the airport in Rome. They did not stamp some of my Chanel and LV receipts bcs I was already using the purchases when I got to the airport. They were some small leather goods that I decided to use right away after my purchase at the store. The custom officers said I can't prove the goods are new if they are not in the original packaging. They were pretty mean about it... And there was a huge line, the custom officers were really angry.

The worst airport service so far... :(

Are you kidding me? Any brand name/expensive items, I always handcarry or use them alongside with me...that is horrible!That's why I rather fly out of smaller airports than rome and paris. Venice was amazing. No one in line, and he didn't even ask me to look at the items...just stamp, stamp stamp!

That's crazy. In Paris they didn't check the goods but I had read that you should pack it in your carry on as if you hadn't used it. It's true EU customs won't refund you if you're using it blatantly in front of them. Just suck it up and pack it away. It won't kill you. I had the first flight of the day at ORLY so when I woke up at 530 since we slept at the airport I walked over to the detaxe. I was second in line and they were calling the attached phone to get someone to come down and do detaxe. My flight boarded at 550 so luckily i didn't wait long. They were still half asleep and did not care about anything anyone bought. But I was still prepared.

Ladies needed your help. Which countries is cheaper Paris or Rome to buy classic? I like to know both selling price and the tax for consideration so I can plan my first trip to Europe;)
 
#218
They should be the same price, since it's priced in Euros. The only difference would be the percentage of the refund, since it is different in France and Italy. I would just buy the bag in either country if you are able to find it
 
#219
Thanks the percentage refund is the tac for that country right? For example, Paris is 10% and Rome 12% , do where every I depart I will get the tax refund. I'd that hire it works? Thanks!
 
#220
yes, that is correct, Italy is about 12%, you claim the refund at the departing airport when you leave the EU, so if you fly from Rome, to London, then home. you claim your refund at London

Hihi ladies!! I really need your help! I'm getting my first Chanel and I was really excited until I found out that Chanel boutiques in Italy are closed on Sundays! My sister who is traveling to Milan next week can only visit the store on the 13th Jan which is a Sunday. Does anyone know if the store might be open as it is fashion week or is there any other alternatives??!!


Thanks a million!

My husband will be traveling there next week and planning to get me one. Or are there other kinds of Classic Flaps that I can choose from?? Please helpppp!!! Thankssss

Hi all, I will be flying from Milan airport to London for 2 days then Paris for a day and back home to asia! Where do you suggest I detax? Would I be able to do so in Milan if I bought mine in Milan?
Are the boutiques well stocked in Milan for reissue? I was hoping to do my shopping in Paris as my last stop but just found out the tax refund is 12%! Haha!
