Online purchase of regular oak Alexa

[Turquoisebee]

Hi ladies,

I am new here and had been drooling over the regular Alexa.

I was initially torn between the INK and the OAK but after thinking for a few weeks, i think i would go for the OAK as this would be my first Mulberry purchase.

In Singapore where I am now located, the regular Oak is going for a whooping SGD1950 which is about 930 pounds *faints at the huge mark-up*. And so i reckon the wise decision is to buy it online.

I'd emailed Net-a-Porter and the fashion advisors confirmed with me that they would not be bringing in the regular size for oak Alexa. I was keen to buy from NAP as they offer value for money with the deduction of GST for purchases outside the EU - savings up to 15%.. which is quite alot. I understand that My Wardrobe has no discount now that they disabled Amex20 for Mulberry purchases.. plus Quidco don't work on international purchases.

So, here i am wondering if there is any reputable online store i can find that offer some sort of discount...

Start London also has theres slightly cheaper at 659 and in stock and intl shipping seems very reasonable at 25 pounds.

ofcourse, that is not factoring in any customs taxes or charges that may apply

They have the black already? :O

Hi, I have family and property in s'pore. Pity I don't have any trips planned in the near future though. PM me if you need any advice I'd be happy to help

Start-London also deducts VAT on purchases to some countries (non EU?), which makes prices very reasonable, at least for me

Hi Ladies,

Thanks you so much for your helpful replies. They are most appreciated.

miss_mabel: oh 10% is better than nothing i guess but i see no Alexa on my MW at the moment. Sigh! The black is a "coming soon" item on the sit at SL.


chloe_baby: Hey.. thanks i never heard abt Start-London before so thanks for the heads up! Another cool alternative to look to for my bags hunt!


tiree_baby: Wow! When would you be coming to Sunny Singapore? Which area have you vested in ? We are hitting a dreaded 35 degrees celcius here these days though.. extremely warm and humid weather ahead .. where i choose to seek comfort in the air-conditioned indoors if possible. Thanks you so much for your lovely offer which I shall keep in mind for. That's so sweet of you!


dazzlepuff: Thanks ... where are you located by the way, I had emailed SL regarding VAT deductions and am awaiting their replies.

I'm in Norway, so in Europe, but not in EU. I considered ordering an Alexa from them and I checked what the total added up to. Can't afford it quite yet, but for me I think this is the cheapest place to buy it.

I did a trial buy and based on my location in Singapore, they gave me a 13% off.

Not too bad I would say.

^ thats great news. Let us know if you bite the bullet and decide to purchase

Sure thing!

Now, I am just waiting for the online stores to replenish the Alexa stocks and then calculate which one works out to be the lowest priced!
