The repair will be free if it’s within the 1st year of purchase and the damage is not through wear and tear. I did a phone order on my classic flap from Saks NYC and dropped it at a Chanel SF boutique and they accepted it. Dropped it off mid June, my SA said it’ll take up to 12 weeks for repair.I had to repair the hardware (male part of the turnknob). I wish it wouldn’t take so long since they are sending it to east coast and not to Paris. Definitely no lockdown in the US now.
I had to drop off my 22C pink sakura small flap because the hardware button on the inside flap was RUSTED. This was a brand new bag purchased within days of me dropping it off. Tags attached. I was quoted 12 weeks. So, the repair is done in the east coast?
