Does H store Paris wants to ship?

[c1ro]

Hi All,

I would like to know if I come to H Paris and manage to buy some bags and accessories, do you think H would want to ship all the bags+accessories outside Europe?

TIA

they do

it is possible, but they will not allow bag purchases over the phone (and for most stores too!).

Thanks for the info footlocker and dreamdoll, so, if they do, would I get the tax refund automatically? (since the bags would be shipped outside the EU)

Yep.

But isn't it if these items are ship outside us, then they will fully declare the value and it means you have to pay for customs fee, no?

Yes.
You save immediately with VAT deducted off your purchase price, but you will have to pay for shipping+insurance and customs duty into your country.

Shipping and insurance will not be cheap since it is a high value item.

Thanks for the info pyrexia, sorry for confusing, I'm an Asian and just married with a Spanish. And I would go to Hongkong which is duty free for import. And I'm still waiting for my resident card. So, I assumed that the resident "title" will be stamped in my passport.

Would H asking about my "resident" when they see the stamp in my passport after payment and straight away reject to give me the tax refund?

naaah, no need. I live SH but I had a HK office and a Canadian passport, complicated enough. They won't ask you to proof anything, just make sure your HK address is correct and will get your bags.

Since HK is a tax-free state, you won't be charged any customs duty whether you carry the bag with you or ship it home. Lucky you!

But you WILL still be charged shipping+insurance by H.

If your luggage is not overweight and you have space, just hand carry your bag home. I would only have Paris ship my items if I knew my luggage was going to be overweight - airline overweight charges are INSANE.

ah also just some updated info on shipping, my haul this time had scored a lot of stuffs and seems like the biggest box they do charges for 414 euro shipped to HK with insurance and everything. So i think it's still worth exploring if you bought a lot of stuff and don't want the box get crushed

I'm not familiar about shipping. Is 414 euro too much?

How about other H stores besides paris, do they want to ship? I asked H store in Madrid, they said they cannot ship outside Spain! Any experience anyone?

My advice is that you weight the cost of shipping the items home vs the size, weight and value of the items. Then you decide if it's more economical to ship or to carry.
