Please try to stay on topic. I realise because of the complexity of some of the posts members may veer off but in answer do not 'go there'.

For info and questions on US customs please post on the thread below: post https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/us-customs-discussion-airports-importing.905560/

For traveling with boxes https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...me-hermes-boxes-when-traveling.1044553/page-5



I will leave this reminder as a sticky because tthis is often a thread that new members (or new Hermès lovers) post on - hopefully temporarily.

When you say your friend was offered whatever she requested, does that includes B/K/C? What count as regular customer? purchase history at FSH? can you ask for a SO? or do you have to wait for the SA to offer? thanks.

My friend asked for Lindy first and then Birkin/Kelly. The SA got her everything she requested. She didn't have any previous purchase history. She was just lucky to walk in at the right time.

I just got great news from the SA I met in FSH that my special order was approved! To answer the questions from previous posts:

1. I can either fly back to pick it up in person myself or authorize someone (must present a copy of my passport and an authorization letter from me) to pick it up.

2. I never purchased anything from Hermes Paris on my previous trips. On this trip, I purchased a gold ring, some scarves, few belts and a wallet. I was offered a special order of regular leather (togo/epsom/celemence) after purchase of the first 3 items because they just opened the SO quota to regular customers at that time so I was just in time.

3. Mid-End December is a better time to go because I was told by the same SA that they would have most stocks then.

Good luck!!

Wow, that's such great news about your SO coming through! I'm so happy to hear that you'll be able to get your dream bag after all. :happydance::yahoo:

Thanks again for your insights! I hope you can spread some of your (and your friend's) lucky magic H fairy dust to all of us heading over to FSH next month. :love:

You are SO lucky!

Any chance you'd know how long the SO list is open for?

Darn, I'm going in January....question: did they give you an estimate on how long it will take for your SO? Hoping to get a bag in January, but if not I wouldn't mind a SO as I might return in the summer....

I was told 6-12 months but this is a new system so they are not sure exactly what to expect. I ordered two weeks ago when I was there.

My ever so good SA said 9 months max :smile:
It could be slightly delayed but it SHOULD not take longer than 12 months. It is much much easier now they say.

Thank you for your answers and CONGRATULATIONS on placing an SO!

One more question though:
by an SO. Did u mean they allowed u to choose different colors for the lining etc or is it an SO for the next PO? I mean did u get to choose just 1 colored bag with your preferred HW (silver/gold)?

TIA!

It was my lucky day today. As a first timer, i scored K28 Rouge Tomato in evercolor leather & Lindy 30 Rouge Grenate & some jewelries. The detail progress as following :
19nov : Joined the queue at the store at 9.45am & there were already around 20 ppl before me. Got an appointment at 5.30pm. i requested for a B or K in small size, because i'm petite size too. The SA went to the back (office / storage room perhaps) and came back & told me that no B or K in small because no delivery came on Saturdays. She asked me if i'm looking for anything else besides bags. And i told her that i would like to buy some bracelets for my mom. Then she assisted me to go to the bracelets counter. I managed to buy 3 bracelets & 1 pendant. Then, i made an appointment at 12 or 12.30pm with her on Monday, and see, if H store have B or K that i requested.
21nov : I came on 12pm. And waited for her around 30mins. When i met her, she remembered the bag that i wanted. Then she asked me to wait, she went to the back to check if there's any stocks matched to my request. She came back in 10-15mins. And told me "yes, we have K28 in red tomato in evercolor leather. Pls come and follow me to check the bag" Then she assisted me to go to the Men's suits section to open the box and check the bag. I was so happy that i almost did a kid jumping. My red dream bag is here.... Right infront of me. And matched my red lip on that day :) And then, she asked me again, anything else i wanted to buy? And i told her, that i want to buy another necklace. When i was about to pay the bag &necklace, my SA offered me a Lindy 30 in red grenate. It may not the color that i want, but i should see & try it first. When i put the bag on my shoulder, the size was perfect, the red color also nice & neutral. I told my SA, yes... I would like to take the Lindy too. Then we went to cashier to finish the payment.
Here the babies....
