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.

Yes! It was different every time I checked. At one point it was almost 2 hours early (and I panicked because I was at an antiques fair outside the city picking through antique linens ).

I’m convinced it’s automated and changes throughout the day depending on where they are in the queue of appointments.

It was actually super nice being late in the day so I didn’t have to plan the whole day around Hermes. I love Hermes, but I love Paris (and its food and antiques…) even more.

Thank you for sharing the details. Yes Paris is gorgeous city!
I’m planning to visit soon, and don’t want to hang out around H store and keep checking the appt time lol. Assuming I get an appointment, I can stick to the assigned time, correct? I mean, changing it to 2 hours earlier is just mad lol.

Less than 5 minutes later she came downstairs with a big box and asked me to follow her. I was stunned. She pulls out the first color I asked for (Vert de Gris) and asked if I needed anything else. That was pretty much it - said I got lucky and they had what I wanted.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think she even looked at my purchase history (which is pretty decent, but not excessive, and nothing in the last 3ish years). I’m convinced it was just luck.

I’ll post better photos later but here’s a quick one. I LOVE the color so much.

Congratulations. I absolutely love this color. It’s just a perfect army green.
you mentioned you have a purchase history, is it from George V or a combine of any Paris store?

I mainly shop at FHS and just curious to know if George V or Serves would give me a hard time since I have no purchase history with them.

My appointment was an hour earlier than the original assigned time - I kept checking and got there early. That said, I’m not sure what would have happened if I just showed up at the original time.

My purchase history is mostly at FSH. I had no history at all at George V (today was actually my first time in that store).

For those that were able to score a B/K at FSH, were you able to request and purchase any other non quota bags and or a wallet in the same visit, if so, can you please share what you were able to get?

Yes, the SA will ask what else you want after you get the BKC sorted. In my only appt where I was fortunate to get a K25 Bleu orage, ghw, (I posted on Feb 14 earlier in this thread) She brought me a mint green mini Della cav (maybe vert criquet?) bc I love the Della cav, but I’m not into color, so declined. I got the impression that non Q requests aren’t a problem so long as they have stuff

When they ask if there is anything else you need, always push for more AFTER you got a quota bag. I always ask for mini Constance or mini Lindy after (maybe Herbag) and it has been hit or miss. Since you are there anyway, may as well get all the bags you want

Hi I am just curious, you said you have a purchase history for 8 years in Paris- that is long. You did not establish a relationship with your SA in Paris? Could they see that you are loyal client?

I've been a customer since 2015 and always received a randomly assigned SA and once got the same one twice 3 years apart but randomly. So it's not always possible to build a relationship in Paris. Regardless, I always got the exact B I wanted except for one time.

Thanks Dear. In your recent offered quota bags? Did you buy other things as well after you got offered. just a thought since establishing purchase history is not recommended?

I tried to find the post - this thread moves so quickly- but I believe you have to go when they tell you. There was a poster previously who didn’t make it at the adjusted time, arrived prior to her originally scheduled appt and was given a hard time. I think they ultimately found her an appt the following day if memory serves.

thank You for the info. Looks like once we get an appointment, we must be flexible +/- 2 hours & stand by lol
