Congratulations for your Evelyne and thanks for the sharing ! had a similar experience yesterday. I was initially looking for a Picotin 26, but none of the Selfridges, NBS or Cadogan stores had it. I've eventually bought an Evelyne 29 in Noir (but I agree, the Etoupe one is amazing !) at the Cadogan store. The Cadogan SA who served me was very polite and knowledgeable, but not as friendly as my Selfridges SA (who is amazing and gives great advice, but he wasn't there yesterday and the woman who talked to me wasn't very welcoming). I had a good impression with the NBS store, the SA was very nice. My next purchases will be some Passifolia tableware I think, so I'll try there.

I have also submitted a Kelly 28 wish in September (at the Selfridges store), I keep my fingers crossed, but with new lockdown threats, I think it will be more for 2021 (if I'm offered something).

Did you receive your Kelly yet?! I am on a waitlist for a birkin 30 at Selfridges so wondered if you had any luck? Thanks!

You would pay UK VAT on the value of the goods that are imported.

I think it is 20% VAT now. I often order from Vestiaire Collective. Now every thing you ordered from another country, they will add a 20% Import Duty and VAT on top the price you see and plus the delivery. God, i cannot believe this as everything become super expensive. Now we are really ending the online shopping benefits from EU websites. For 24S, it seems that they still include everything at one price but their price is slightly higher than the UK website (I checked Dior as an example). I think probably a trip to EU might be better to benefit the price but who knows whether in the future in the airport they may send customs to check your goods and charge the duty...

No it hasn't as of yet, I checked yesterday before I placed the order on the UK site for the item I tried to order from the French website last week that got cancelled immediately.

They are so nice :) I really should order from the FR Hermes website when it could be ordered in the past. Now it is too late to do so TT

You shouldn't have to pay VAT on pre-loved (ie: 2nd hand items) there is not VAT charged on them.
I think you will just pay import duty

I think it was ridiculous when at the checkout they just automatically add 20% import duty (and VAT) on top as long as the item is not located in the same country no matter the condition of the item is either new or used...However, this is just one website, not every website will follow this but I did see other website tried to indicate the VAT and import duty at the checkout if shipping to the UK. I hope for Hermes it won't go too crazy but I guess now as this goes like this, it is very likely we should expect a VAT-free shopping when travelling to EU. Fingers crossed.

Not yet, unfortunately . I'm afraid it won't be before a long time.
When did you submit your wish ?

Sometimes, I'm wondering if Selfridges was a good choice to submit a wish, as it is a small store compared to NBS (for instance).

I submitted my wish at Harrods back in July 2020 and it's expiring soon.. Also wondering if Harrods (or Selfridges) is a good place to submit a wish (and build purchase history) as they are just a concession instead of a stand-alone boutique. Anyone has any experience getting B/K from Harrods?

Mine was only early December! But it is the second wish I submitted one in 2018 too there which didn’t materialise.
I am really regretting not doing it at NBS as they seemed much more attentive and a few people have said NBS is better. Guess we have quite a wait now too before we can go to store :( :( :(
