At least in Hawaii, Louis Vuitton raises their prices about $50 in the summer and lowers them again around fall/winter. I`m not sure with everywhere else? I would think it applies to everywhere but -shrug-

You can do that?! I thought they'd charge you based on taxes in nova scotia? How much do you pay for shipping?

As for the price differences, between Canada and the States, it depends on the item... before this price decrease, it was waaaaay cheaper to get a speedy in the states and ESPECIALLY so if you go to a state with no sales tax.

The decrease in price is probably to reflect the stronger Canadian dollar because old pricing is based on approximately a 1.5 exchange rate, while now it's approximately 1.13.

LOL.. no WONDER the wapity was SOLD OUT at the LV in Toronto today!

yep! you can do it! the taxes are based on the province of sale. i think shipping is around $20 for ground and $30 for air. if the sale is big enough its worth paying for the shipping to save the tax.

As far as I know, the taxes are based on the province the item is shipped to - NOT the province of sale. I live in AB, and we didn't have a Pottery Barn here until like last year, so I always had to mail order from TO or Vancouver, and would just pay for shipping and the price plus GST. They rang it up in Vancouver/TO, but tax is based on the SHIPPED province.

That's great that the prices have *finally* been adjusted to the stronger Canadian dollar! I wish Balenciaga would do the same here! Ditto with Tiffany's - it'd been so much cheaper to buy Stateside for the luxry brands in the last 2 years!

WAIT! You brought back that fringe speedy that you LOVED and that looked so fab on you.... I'm shocked.

I didn't like it till I saw it on you, why'd you return it?

wow.

Perhaps it's b/c you don't have an LV or Holts there in Halifax? I think there's a loophole where the store can only charge tax if they have a B&M store there. Then you would be PST exempt, but not GST exempt. I have heard of that too when DH buys weird electronics sometimes!

you're right, its probably something like that. when i worked retail we couldn't charge tax in provinces we didn't operate in, the systems weren't set up to. :yes:
