Just had a look on the website and they seem to have updated prices on some of the classics. M/L now at £5890 and Jumbo at £6360. Eek!

Thanks I saw earlier. The prices went up quicker this cycle than they usually do. Is it bad that when you are so scarred by these increases that you are glad that the jumbo at least isn't £7k yet!!? Not that it matters to me, it's all lost its appeal.
 
I don’t believe they ship Chanel to the US at all and definitely not VAT free…(the Americans would all just be buying from the UK if that was possible!)

Some TPFers have gotten Chanel shipped from the UK to other parts of the world…don’t think they got VAT off but hopefully they will comment.
Yes, I buy RTW from Selfridgres, they remove VAT and I pay here -EU VAT and import tax at the customs.

Hi, I’ve been trying to buy either the beige Clair or the grey CF for a few weeks now with no luck. I’ve decided to wait on the beige now since it is permanent and I couldn’t avoid price increase anyway. But if there any chance or hope at all of getting the grey CF? Or shall I give up on it by now.. I keep trying to ring the boutiques with no luck. I don’t want to make a trip and get told they have nothing as it has happened twice already. Thanks ladies
 
Yes thank you. I actually rang Walton street as they are quite responsive & they said bag I want is showing in stock at Harrods’s & selfridges but it’s after that when I rang to try and buy the bag the stores in question do not pick up. I asked them to request transfer & nope apparently they don’t do that.
You mean Walton street doesn’t? Because selfridges definitely does.. just sharing for future reference here :)
 
Hi, does the UK still ship to the US vat free? I’d really like a small classic flap. I did the math (20% vat refund and 10% us customs duty) and I’ll be paying $6500 for one. I already have a profile with harrods.
Yes the math is good!!! I’m not sure about Harrods but they have free personal shopping service.. you email them and they’ll have someone from Chanel contact you and they respond fast! You can ask in the initial email about shipping to US to save time :smile:

I got vat free items on 3 bags shipped to Middle East and like someone else mentioned the math is good!

Interesting…are you charged any extra duties when you receive the items?

Stateside…duties are a definite add on but I wonder if they now do ship Chanel bags to the US…definetly did not before unless one was physically present to purchase.

Yes I have to pay duties but most of the time it is less than the deducted vat so you actually save a tiny bit!
Selfridges definitely doesn’t ship to US..

I ended up contacting harrods and they said they will ship it to me to the US since I already have a profile with them. They said I have to send an email to consent to paying customs and that it is my responsibility.

The reason I couldn’t ask my previous SA is because my purchase was done through the generic Chanel email and he never gave me his contact info.
