This is a standard fee charged by most card companies to facilitate currency exchange when you purchase items in a foreign currency. It's usually around 3% although this can vary.
I know that citi has a travel card that doesn't charge you a foreign transaction fee. But it has a fee of $70 (or so?) a year. So I guess it depends on how much you pay towards those fees a year
Hi, I just received a package from Italist.com yesterday and I was not charged any duties or taxes. I guess it was all included in the price. DHL delivered right to my door. I received the package in a week and shipping cost was $30.00 to the US. My Credit Card Company charged a $17.00 Currency Conversion Fee. All in all, I still saved $560.
You have to look at the whole picture. I live in Florida too and I received a package yesterday. All in all, I still saved $560.00 on Valentino shoes. I can't get that kind of savings here.
Hi, Did your Gucci Handbag from Italist.com have a serial number in it?The bag is finally here! And before I can even suspect that it's not legit or anything... I immediately fell in love with the bag. The leather was supple just right and smelled good. And don't even get me started with the redness of this bag! LOVE! It's the perfect shade of red with the blue undertone.... which is my favorite type of red.
The bag came with all the usual stuff: dust bag, care card, leather swatch
The only thing disappointing is the way it was packed. I opened the box and the bag wasn't even in its dust bag. They threw in a couple sheets of paper to stuff the box and that was it. But I was too excited to see the bag that I decided to overlook that.
I'll head to the Gucci authentication thread now to verify the genuineness of the bag,
I understand but to me is more the principle. They are not being transparent. They are creating an illusion. If they had upped the cost of your shoes and lowered the taxes to what you are actually supposed to pay, you would still save $560, but they decide to be dishonest to lure customers in who get hooked by the initial low price.
Hi all,
I ordered a Gucci bag the other day. I had some issues with the card as it was not accepted at first, but it went through after I called my cc company to authorize the transaction. The very next day I received a shipping confirmation from DHL that the package will be delivered tomorrow. If I get it tomorrow, that's super fast given that I live in Florida and the bag was shipped from Italy. No custom charges, at least none mentioned in the final price. Just a $35 dollars shipping charge, which is not bad. Very excited

I received the order today. I am super happy with the bag.It looks great and it is in perfect condition. I have no doubt it's original since there is no difference that I can see between this one and the one I saw at the NM store, but I will get it checked regardless.
OMG! I can't believe you got it the next day! Can I ask if your Gucci Bag has a serial number in it behind the Gucci Tab in front of the interior zipper pouch. I am still a bit skeptical about buying a bag.I received the order today. I am super happy with the bag.It looks great and it is in perfect condition.

Yes, it does have a serial number as well as a control and information card. I have been checking several sites online, and it seems that everything about the bag is authentic. I will know more on Friday when I will receive the exact same bag (but a different color) from NM. I had ordered the bag from NM about two hours before I spotted the one I got from Italist. I was very hesitant to buy from an unknown site, but after reading this thread, I decided to take the plunge. I had been looking for a Gucci swing bag in the color I got from Italist for a long time. Well, the price was good too
. $200 less than what I paid for the one I got on sale from NM. All in all, I might have saved myself about $460.Thanks, I'm going to check out their Gucci Handbag right now!Yes, it does have a serial number as well as a control and information card.
