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/

Detaxing (to US from Europe) https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/best-way-to-detax-after-h-in-europe.178302/

or non-US destinations: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/does-h-store-paris-wants-to-ship.605014/page-3

For questions relating to prices https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/reference-hermes-current-prices.102567/page-357

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.

Update: Failed my husband's 3rd attempt. This time me and my baby went into the store when it was almost my husband's turn. He got an appointment at 10:50am. When me and my baby tried to go in there was still a line outside of the store. The security let me go in immediately when they saw I have a baby in my arm, but still I explained to those customers in line that I already had an appointment.

We were served by Caroline at leather dept upstairs. She was more sincere compared to Asya and Disy (SAs that my husband met on his 1st and 2nd attempts). She checked the inventory but couldn't find anything. She said the stock was really low and probably no new stock even tomorrow, but asked us to come back at 2pm just to check if there would be any new stock. We went back at 2pm, she checked again, nada. She asked us when we'll be leaving Paris. We both had a feeling that she really wanted to get us a bag, unfortunately there was really no bag. She will be off tomorrow so even if I wanted to schedule an appointment with her before I leave Paris on Saturday early morning, it would be impossible.

So I guess that's it for my smaller Kelly hunt[emoji28]

I was there the exactly same 3 days as you and I did get what I want exactly but not from the new appt waited in line system....I found the system extremely stressfull you waited for 3 hours outside just to get a appt then get a No and sa are not sincere if they didn't ask for your passport to check for the bag as now the new systems they can see exactly what you buy from their phone even detail to color size and qty....And also they don't need to check the back when they say they go check for the bag they check their phone first then go grab it that's it

Thanks for the info. May I know how you got your appointment? Are you a repeated customer? And were you trying to get a B or K in smaller sizes (I found smaller sizes harder to get)?

When I was offered a K35 last Saturday, I was not asked for my passport until I checked out at the cashier. Perhaps different SAs do it differently.

I don't like the new system either, although the SAs seem to enjoy it coz it's less crowded in the afternoon.

Smaller sizes in Neutral colours are hard to get because they are normally reserved. Smaller sizes in pop and bright colours are much easier.
I was offered a B25 Pivoine but I passed on that. Cobalt is also easy.

May I ask you two questions?
1. does 5K means $5000 Euro? (sorry for asking this, I was thinking whether it's $5000 or $50,000

2. How did you get the SA to sell you this beauty? did you get it because you want the crocodile or because you couldn't get a normal leather offer?
