Just some extra information which parallels the above.
As I do travel (and move a lot), I have been told that alterations which cannot be completed on time for me to take along may be done in other international Chanel boutiques, complimentary if current season, the fee maybe be waived for sale items, depending on strength of boutique relationship. I have also been given notes to collect boxes esp hat boxes in other locations if they were out of them.
Apparently each alteration is kept on record in the client's account, for reference, as we may need major work in future in case of changes in fit.
For Cambon if the alterations take a while longer than my stay in Paris, they then ship it after completion to me and that is automatically tax free.
My local boutiques offered me a "refresh service" for jackets etc using a machine they now have in house. I haven't tried this service myself, so cannot comment further. I send everything for professional dry clean as recommended by the local stores where I am based. They know who can be trusted with their items.
At the moment I have experienced no problems with cleaners in Zurich, The Hague, London, Bangkok, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.
Hope this helps.
