Hey guys!
I spent the last month traveling all over Europe and I JUST flew back home to the states last night. I've been holding off on opening all my purchases because I didn't want to mess up with my VAT refund...and it's been a LONNNG wait!
Long story short, I got my refund back in cash (so worth it over credit!) and I didn't even have to pay any duty in JFK. Heads up, if you want to avoid paying duty on any purchases, fly in really late at night and they'll just wave you through. I had my receipts ready and all and the agent just complimented me on getting LV, talked to me about wanting a Speedy, and then told me to leave.
Sometimes you get a really nice agent.
