Hi everyone, just got a price info from Paris and London for St. Louis.
I'm a little confused now, because it looks like that the prices in London is a lot cheaper than in Paris if converted to USD.
UK price St. Louis PM classic is £660 (£550 no VAT) special colors £860 (£720 no VAT)
St. Louis GM classic £760 (£635 no VAT) specials £980 (£820 no VAT)

Paris price St. Louis PM 750 euro
St. Louis GM 850 euro

Special color St. Louis PM 975 euro
St. Louis GM 1105 euro
 
I've sent an e-mail to Goyard and they've informed the prices of St Louis in Paris:

A small sized Saint Louis is priced 700 euros for any of classic color, gathering black, red as well as traditional black and tan trimming, whereas a limited crafted color is priced at 910 euros.

Saint Louis designed in its larger version is valued 800 euros for any of classic color, as for a limited crafted large tote is priced at 1,040 euros.
 
I live in U.S. and am considering ordering from Paris (London doesn't have grey in stock). Here's what I was quoted on the St Louis PM in limited colors...

London:
£717.00 (excluding VAT) + £95 shipping cost = $1334 USD. I believe I would still have to pay duties and taxes when item arrives in USA.

Paris:
760 Euros + 190 Euros shipping cost = $1284 USD
I asked why shipping was so expensive and was told "Our House requires the services of an exclusive carrier, that quotes shipping fees, that cover both insurances as well as local applicable taxes, along the value of your order, as an all included package.
There will be no extra charges to pay, once the parcel released by the customs, our local partner will get in touch with you to make an arrangement, ensuring a smooth door to door delivery."

I then asked them to clarify that "local taxes" did indeed refer to U.S. Duties and taxes and they replied...
"Further to your inquiry, we are glad to confirm that there will be no extra charges to pay.

If ever a dysfunction occurred, our carrier ensures all required assistance."

Clearly my concern is being taxed upon arrival, as I'm not sure what all the import duties and taxes are. I've seen anywhere from 9% to 20%.

Anyone order from from Goyard Paris and can confirm no additional taxes we're charged?

When you order from Paris they charge the duties and so no taxes are added upon arrival. They will quote you the price that includes all duties so no guesswork like when you order from London. They have some new policies in place, however such as requiring bank transfers - no credit card transactions - and only a 2 item limit per order. I've done it a few times and it was still totally worth it. Good luck!
