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/

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 could not find the general conditions for the appointement si I am asking here.
Sorry if it was already answered, I could not find it.
1. If I have two passport, can I make a request with each? Only one phone number..
2. This question is wierd sorry if it sounds stupid : If I travel with a kid, can I also request for an appointement for her? ( no phone number and obviously not buying an hermes bag ).
Can’t believe I am asking this: Normally I am a reasonable girl..
Thanks

I could easily be wrong, but I think that each passport must be linked to a separate phone number. And no- regardless, a child cannot be the buyer of any merchandise you get with an appointment. The passport number that "wins" the lottery is the passport that is used at checkout.
If you go, enjoy yourselves and be safe!

In addition to this, I believe that the credit card used to pay for the purchase must match the name and other info on the passport the passport that won the lottery appointment, as these will both be used during checkout.

Has anyone been in July and been offered a B? Was thinking of a quick trip to Paris if I can get an appointment. Less tourists and more bags? Or same as usual?

Well, right now there are CERTAINLY fewer tourists in Paris. Bags have been offered in July many other years. One would think there might even be a backlog this year, but nothing is certain with H.

This thread is massive, so I don’t think I can read all of it... Are some months better than others? I only asked about July to get a post lockdown view. I might not make it there until August.

No to both questions, each passport has to be linked to a different telephone number > they will not check your phone number, so you can easily ask a friend/family member to apply with their phone and send you live updates when they get an appointment.

July and August are when the Hermes artisans are off for the summer. However, it’s been said that H has bags in the back at all times. It’s also been said that supply is lower during July and August, so try avoid going during these 2 months. Who knows.

And take into account, this is NOT a normal year by far on so many levels with respect to your question. Too many factors are in play to really compare this year with any other.

Thank you for your input! All input is appreciated for this “newbie”.

I had heard a lot about the artisans taking time off in August, but even in EU, tourism/vacations seem way down. It is really an odd time which is why I was thinking chances of getting an offer might be different right now. On a different thread, someone did mention very recently hauling it over to Paris as soon as they got the appointment and leaving with a Birkin. I live close enough that I suppose I could try once a month or so.

To an earlier comment- I have literally spent dozens of hours reading this thread and watching YouTube videos on FSH (and tbh, after 7 years of trying to find things here, find tPF search function to be... yeah. And so so so many dead links now).

Hello everybody, how are you?
I am planning to visit Paris in September, and this is my first time to shop in FSH store. I don’t have a purchase history in Paris. If i get an appointment, how are my chances of getting a kelly 25 in croco leather? Is it very impossible to get ? Is it better if I buy things before i request the bag ? Thank you so much:)
