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/

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.

Try a fresh link, meaning get a different Hermes reservation link from elsewhere on the internet. The current link using is old or cached hence it doesn’t move on to the next step. You’ll get a response to confirm reservation in your email when properly registered.

Maybe I also ask about after I finished register for FSH. Can I register for other 2 stores for leather department?

What is the best time of day to go to FSH to ask about cancellations for a leather appt? Is there any point in going at 5pm or is that too close to store closing?

I got a walk in appt. around 5 on a weekday last November(I did not get a QB).

From stories I’ve read, people seem to be told to come anywhere between 1pm-3pm to check on cancellations.

Hi,
So finally after almost a year applying for a leather appointment I scored one for today. I’m in the eu so I booked my flights yesterday, took 6am flight to Paris. My appointment was at sevres aroud 2pm. I came earlier as I wanted to buy some more things but they had nothing from my list including rtw and homeware, I only bought silver ring. The sa who I was buying a ring with was super grumpy and clearly wasn’t happy that she has to deal with me.
Then i went to leather appointment desk and asked if I can be seen earlier. I waited another 30 min and the lady came to me. Asked what I wanted. I firstly asked to try on birkin 25/30 and mini kelly. She brought birkin 25 and kelly mini. She was just looking at other people without any interest of me while I was trying bags on. Then without even asking what I want, what colour etc she told no bck, nothing. No neutrals as everyone asking for neutrals and no other colours. Of course that was a lie, while I was waiting I have seen people taken to the private rooms, I’ve seen people without the appointments taken there as well and leaving with a boxes with birkins and kellys. I was heartbroken as I waited for the appointment so long, woke up today at 3 am, took an early flight just to hear that they don’t have a bags the sa only offered me mini evelyne in noir and picotin 18 in vert cypress which I declined.

I am sooo sorry that it wasn’t a happy ending. I know seriously disappointing. But, please don’t think you are the only one. It isn’t happy endings for everyone. I totally feel you; thanks for sharing your story. I have had a few major disappointments too including going to Paris last July only to come back empty handed. I have had a two+ year love/hate relationship with Hermes lol… cranky or not so friendly SAs who didn’t chose to offer me a bag or have ghosted me. I have felt shattered. I had to buy my one and only through a reseller. Again, sorry… totally feel for you. Hugs.

Thank you:) I feel the same, I love Hermes but it’s super discouraging to see other people scoring the bags specially after such a long time of applying for the appointment :( will try next month to apply again although I’m super annoyed and disappointed.

You said she brought Birkin 25. Were you just interested in Birkin 25?
