I'm not sure if anyone asked or answered this question, but if you order from Paris to the US, do you have to pay import tax? I read somewhere that you won't have to pay the VAT, but that you later get a bill from TNT. Is this true?

I wanted to order a zippered daily battle for my sister for Christmas, but I wanted to be sure if the quoted price will be the only amount I will have to pay. Could someone who has ordered through FLP Paris into the US please break down the costs/fees? I would really, really appreciate it!!! (I just don't want to be surprised later and end up paying more than the price of a Goyard in the US...know what I mean?)

Thank you!

Yes, you're right -you don't pay VAT, but you will get a bill with customs fees after you receive the bag. I think mine came after a week or two.

I was charged a $15 handing fee, $15 residence fee, and then about 7.4% duty/taxes and fees. I think someone has recommended just considering the VAT-included price since it's probably more than what you'd pay after shipping cost and duty (aka worst case scenario).

Either way, it would definitely be cheaper than Goyard! :p

Thank you, mochaccino and 2manybags!

I just had one last question. If I were to pay the VAT included price, does that mean I won't have to pay custom duties later?

Thank you again for all of your help!

I've been in touch with Faure le Page and unfortunately the bag I was seeking (Daily Beast Medium with yellow trim in Steel Grey or Paris Blue) appears to be out of stock, as are many of the pouches and the tassles! They can't say when their stock will be replenished. Does anyone have any experience with how quickly they replenished stock? Did you have to just keep emailing them back as they don't allow pre-orders?

i just sent an email this week about their daily battle totes. they have tassels in stock, not sure if all colors are available. for sure the grey one is in stock as of today.

Hello there,

I recently made a purchase via email with the Rue Cambon store. It was a very simple process; no VAT charged, but I was told to expect a bill from US customs following my purchase. Delivery was shockingly quick - I put my payment though Wednesday, and my package was delivered Friday morning. I actually can't wrap my brain around how they made that happen. Anyway, I've seen a few questions about tassel options right now, so I thought I'd include pictures my SA sent me.

By the way, the toile écailles is stunning in person. Beautifully textured.

Hope this helps anyone that is looking!!

Thank you for posting these! I'm trying to decide on a tassel and choosing the right color is much easier when I can see them all at once. So now I've emailed the store and am hoping the one I want is still available.

When you paid by email, did you use a credit card? I'm wondering if the foreign transaction fee applies. Do you know?

Of course! I am glad it was helpful.

I used an Amex that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees, so it wasn't an issue.

Is anyone else waiting for a delivery that is delayed? My TNT tracking is not updating and it's at least a days late now.

My daily battle was picked up in Paris by TNT yesterday and out for delivery in Dublin today. I missed it because I wasn't home but hopefully it will come tomorrow! I was a little shocked at how quick it was and really wasn't expecting it today. It didn't have to come far though.

Are you in the US? I was expecting a delay since Christmas is so close.

What did you order?

I am in the US and I ordered a Daily Battle. I wouldn't be surprised with delays but the TNT website isn't very good, lots of dead links, and I am concerned by the lack of updates since 12/10. I think the last time the page with tracking data was really long and this is all I have:

10 Dec 2015 09:06:20 Garonor Road Hub Shipment In Transit.
09 Dec 2015 23:32:46 Garonor Road Hub Shipment Received At Transit Point.
09 Dec 2015 22:23:00 Creteil Shipment In Transit.
09 Dec 2015 20:22:21 Creteil Shipment In Transit.
09 Dec 2015 20:22:11 Creteil Shipment Arrived At Tnt Location

At this point I think you should try calling TNT and give them your tracking number.They called me today to rearrange delivery (their Irish office) and they seemed quite helpful. I noticed that others complained of dead links, no online updates etc and I think they have mostly been in the US like you. I know it's frustrating because you are paying a lot to have it shipped from Europe (I've experienced it the other way around, from the States to Europe).

I really hope it arrives soon! I can't wait to see mine! I've never seen one in person before!

Did you get your bag? How do you like it?

I've had to ask FLP to track my bag. TNT keeps taking my info and not getting back to me.
