How to Transport Crazy Haul from Europe

Did she really buy $100k worth of stuff? Not that it’s unheard of, but I didn’t see any exotics or 10 Birkins/Kellys lined up (yes I skimmed through her hauls after the number $100k was brought up).

In any case, she might have gotten lucky and didn’t get noticed. I’ve walked through customs declaring $15-20k purchases without having to pay taxes. Maybe she took an indirect flight, stopping over somewhere in the US. I find that it is much easier (customs-wise) when you have a layer-over in the US before your final destination. The last two times I flew to Europe from SF, with a layover in NYC, I didn’t go through customs upon landing back in SF. So if she did do the US layer-over option and had her bags packed in her suitcases, then she could have skipped out on having to declare her items.
I think she went to LV/Chanel/Hermes and a few others and dropped about 25-30K per store? She went multiple times to purchase in each store. So, at least 75K, and then add in all the shoes and twillies and gifts for others.
