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.

Hello!
Would i have a better chance of buying a B/K if I told the SA that I’d buy several other items if I were offered one? I don’t want to waste my extra purchases on a store that won’t give me a B/K after buying them. :sad:
Thanks!

I would not say that directly.
There are multiple scenarios that could play out and multiple strategies which may or may not work. If you are planning to buy several items you don't necessarily have to buy them all at once. It's possible to select a couple of items and then ask about a bag. Sometimes that works. There are other times when its just a bad inventory time and nothing works - maybe there are some bags for VIPs but that's it. I went during one of those times last year. No one was getting bags, even Lindy and Evelyne.
At FSH, if you get an appointment, it is bag focused. I'm not sure if buying other items makes a difference in that situation. Maybe if you are buying an insert since that is directly related to the bag purchase. For example if you said "my wish list is a B30 and if I'm successful I'd also love to get a fourbi to match" but who knows. Or maybe a matching wallet.
Good luck!

I think getting Lindy won’t be difficult, I saw a few in their showcase last time I visited. I am heading there in September too and I wish both of us a lot of luck! May be we will run into each other dear ❤️ Leather artisans should be back from vacation by that time so hopefully we might have fruitful trip!!!

I actually asked my SA the same question at FSH after she offered me a B as I wanted a C as well. She said it wouldn’t help and even said it’s against their policy.
However, the SA at George V sounded promising about getting me a bag when I offered to buy other items. Unfortunately, they didn’t have a C18 but I still ended buying a bag charm. I guess it really depends on your SA?

So if I was ever lucky enough to get offered a bag at FSH and wanted to pick some scarves or shoes afterwards to purchase with the bag, would the leather good SA help me with those and would she/he receive commission for the scarves and shoes? And what it I picked and put on hold the non-bag items that other SAs helped me with before the bag appointment, and then later on pay for those items together with the bag, would the leather good SA get commission for everything? It's so confusing. =/ Thanks!

Don't worry. I don't think any FSH SAs get commissions. Just express your wishes and they will get you the right SA to help you.

Hi! I'm finally visiting FSH for the first time in September. Am aware that it is diffciult to get a b/k/c. But was wondering if it is difficult to get a lindy 26/30 at FSH? (My top choices are the neutral colors like noir, etoupe, etain, gold..) Thanks! =)

Hi! It really depends on stock. My last visit, I was able to get a b but not a Lindy! Good luck!

Btw, the airport frequently has them!

I know what you mean...so here is what I did...I got the appointment and went directly to see the leather dept SA, then I gave her my wishlist and told her that I also had another wishlist with some other items and that I would be happy if she could help me with it after looking for the bag. She brought the bags, some wallets (because I requested) and after my decision she went downstairs with me and helped choose every single thing in my list. I think it helped and she seemed very pleased to help me.
