Hello Ladies :)

Just wanna share my today experience with you !

Back in January 2023 I was lucky to get an appointment at Georges V (through Website) I got a B30 Sellier!
I tried maybe 100-200x before getting this appt !

Yesterday I tried again, telling myself « It will take few months to got one »
Surprise, got one immediately, at opening, at FSH !

Arrived at 10h, waited 30min for the opening!
We were 5-10 people waiting with an appt !
I was assigned a male SA, very nice!
He asked me if I wanted to drink something and once back what I wanted !
We chat a little bit and he left !
See him coming back after 15min, with 4 boxes and went upstairs before coming back to me asking to follow him.

Another couple was upstairs and very happy :)

In a private room he told me what he got for me :
- What I asked for : Kelly28 retourne in a gris shade with GHW and a Lindy26 in Rouge H, GHW/Evercolor

- 2 other bags that I declined because not my style and/or 2 bags were already enough for my bank account haha !

We chatted a little bit after that waiting to pay !
He then brought me my bags and gave me also his contact details to secure further appts directly with him and also ask for other items directly !

I was beyond than happy !
Def a great experience !

For the ones wondering; as usual I was wearing casual clothes : Legging, NB sneakers, Celine jumper and a trench ! No make up and my regular, daily jellewery !

I saw while waiting, other people not getting a bag or a quota bag. I have to say they all looked too much dress up and not friendly at all, no smile, almost rude when speaking the SA’s!

It’s my unpopular opinion but I guess that being yourself, being smiley and show your true excitement to be here is a better way to score than dress up to much and pretend to be snobby !

Will share pictures soon :)

Also highlight that the 6months rule apparently does not apply ! It was not even 4 months since my last Quota Bag!
The SA told me that I got 3 bags since January so next quota will need to wait a bit

Congratulations on your new beauty!!! Curious - Was it your home SA or lottery SA who then made the comment re waiting a bit for the next bag?

(Apologies if this is not the correct thread) Has anyone had any issues contacting their Paris SA via email or phone if they were offered the contact? My US SA advised that they were having issues with their emails and unless I text her, usually I get zero email responses.

Can I check if it’s possible to receive a VAT refund on items purchased online (through the French website), but picked up in a Paris store?

Per my SA - They have to do a return in store and then repurchase there to do the paperwork for you to get vat back.. might be easiest for your SA to process the online order for you or check with the store you intend to pick up from to make sure there’s no hiccups

Thanks for coming back to me. Unfortunately, I don't have a SA in Paris. Is it possible to approach any SA to help?
