Hi all, I have a question about deposits. So I’ve made a deposit on a specific bag from 21P with a new-to-me SA to secure a spot and even though the bag has not yet arrived at the store, she has already charged my card. I’ve only been charged before AFTER my bag has arrived and was wondering is this considered “normal”?

Any insight is appreciated as even the deposit is no small amount and especially with the current situation, I’m not sure how long is the norm to wait for a bag before pulling the plug. TIA!

I'm in Canada and I had to do the same thing to secure a classic flap from 21C and it still hasn't arrived :doh: The SA is new to me but came recommended by a friend. I believe the only reason she was able to take my full deposit is because she knew for certain the bag was coming in and she told me this would guarantee the price if they did increase. I know some stores were having issues with their orders being cancelled due to the current situation. She texted me last week to let me know the bag had officially left Europe and should be here within a month. I'm assuming/hoping the only reason they were able to take your deposit in full was because they bag was guaranteed to arrive.
 
Why are there items floating around but NONE of my NM's have posted like anything from this collection? Sigh.
I know I am so confused! I have
Same for my NM SAs too!! That’s why I am so late to finding a gold mini:sad:( Wonder if they have some new company policy not to email clients?
I am also having this problem! I have three wonderful NM SAs and not one of them has been able to help me secure a coco handle in months as they just do not have the stock! I do not remember it ever being this hard to get a Chanel purse!
 
21p is not even out yet in London in most stand alone stores and I found out from the Sloane Street store that they won’t be getting the brown “caramel” in mini or classic flap styles. :shocked:
 
I, too, thought there would be mini Reissue for 21S since 21P has mini CF, but I asked my SA and she confirmed no mini Reissue for 21S either. I'm so confused. (This is in the U.S., btw.)

I wonder if they have replaced mini reissue with the classic handle. We only started getting mini reissue since 19A, so it might not be permanent like the classic mini’s.
