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.

I have been reading this thread every day for the last 2-3 years and this exact question has not been answered. There have been several posts that this "was going to happen" but there has yet to be confirmation that this "has happened" as of yet. It could be that I did miss a post or two or that it was answered within another post. Dear Bagigiotic if you have updated information it would be very much appreciated.

Hi
Flying to Paris next month...
What is the current status on whether my usa buying history can be seen by the Paris SA or vice versa?
If offered a bag in Paris will that affect my July to December quota here in the USA?
Please help! Thx in advance...

I am a great believer with Hermes, if you see what you want, get it when you can.
If you are in the happy situation that your purchasing opportunities will be limited by quota, if you buy in France you will just be able to buy for less than anywhere else in the world - so why worry?

No, Paris does not know your USA purchase history or vice versa. If you get a bag there, its not going to effect your quota here. Good luck.

It has not been implemented based on my recent experience. I picked up my RAC order end of June from my home store (USA), went to Paris in July and got a Kelly Pochette and a Constance Mini, then when I returned I purchased another Kelly Cut Croc again from my home store. No issues whatsoever.

Congrats! Please share the deets if you could.
Also, what do you mean it’s not an easy process anymore with applying for an appt? What changed?

You have to apply for an appt (on your smart phone) a day before you want to go . Theres NO guarantee you would get an appointment and they will only email or text you after 7;30 pm to let you know if you got an appt or not.

I would like to share a bit my experience in Paris shopping.
In the previous few years when it was still queuing system, I had some bad experiences and this is the first time I come to FSH with the brand new appointment system since the implementation from last year.

I am arriving Paris on Tue morning, and I know that I will not get an appointment at my first attempt, so I started registered a week before, I took the risk, coz if I got the appointment and I did not show up I will not get it again when I am in Paris, so if you want to try this method, take your risk.

I got the appointment on Tue morning (so lucky), and I have some purchase record in Paris in the previous years, no bag purchased. I arrived the store on time and I was assigned a SA. And I told her what I want, I wanted a Constance, either size, and color and all the details, and my next choice would be a Mini Kelly with the same color and hardware I want. She went away for over 10 mins and she got me something, I saw the size of the box I knew that it was not a Constance. And the SA was very nice, she told me they don’t have any Constance at the moment, so she brought me something else. And when she opened the box, it was a mini Kelly in Black. I appreciated her very much on offering me something very nice. So I took it together with some Twilly and a Rodeo. She was so lovely and helpful and I asked whether or not I could look for her again in Oct when I come back and she said definitely, even though I still need to make an appointment. I said it is ok, I just want to pump in for her again. I am lucky this time since I saw there were quite a few of ladies’ SA shaking their heads after a while and I believe they will not offer to everyone who gets an appointment. And after all these years negative experience in Paris H store, finally I got a SA who is nice and willing to help.
