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 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. I asked for both B40 and K42, and they did not have them both.

So, I got a B30 in gris pale (N.B. This is NOT gris pearl - See: https://www.lecrin.sg/lecrin/20230731newarrival), epsom, retourne and palladium hardware; I got this for my sister.

Then, I got Kelly Depeches 36 - this is a briefcase in men's section - in "Vert de Gris" (dark green with some gray tone) with palladium hardware for myself:

(The black B30 black togo with gold hardware is what I got from NYC/Madison in November for my mom.)

I have been quite successful making my family members (i.e., B30s for women) happy. But, I had no luck getting the bags I want yet... Let's hope for the best....!



PS. I had no pre-spend history. I opened an account a day before this. (Well, I got a sweater when I created an account.)

Just got back from an incredible solo trip to Paris and crashing down from my high of being in a fantasyland of luxury shopping and pampering... back to reality, back to work, back to dirty dishes in the sink and shuttling the kids to school LOL. My experience at FSH continues to surpass my experiences in the U.S. It's probably partly the magic of being in Paris and partly that it's FSH. No long story this time, just some eye candy!

Thank you for sharing! Just when I was convinced I was at purse peace, your pictures of the metallic exotics changed my Fickle Filipina mind. Say it isn’t so! Woman!

Fyi, we had another lottery won but no B or K at this time. (Of course, the SA told us a lie since SAs on the other tables presented multiple BKs to the clients.) We were lucky to win the appt, but had an SA that was not helping. (She just showed us a bunch of non-QBs.) Came back with empty hands. 😂

Didn’t you just get a B30 gris pale and Kelly dépêche a few days ago from FSH?? And with no purchase history, very lucky! Even if you get a lottery appointment, 1) you’re not guaranteed a BK and 2) you JUST got a Birkin from them, they definitely will not offer you another one in the same trip! And probably not even within a few months. Anyone would be over the moon and satisfied to be offered the 2 bags you got. I think you’re lucky that they showed you "a bunch" of non QBs, and not just one! If they really wanted to mess with you and play games and lie to you, they would've offered you one and said this is all we have. The fact that they showed you a bunch means they were trying to find something for you that you would like and make you happy.

I was only offered one bag at my appointment. I did not even ask about an additional non quota bag because I know my SA would’ve offered it if he had one from my wishlist available to me. (Note: available to ME. When they tell you certain bags are not available, it doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't exist in the warehouse or stockroom. It means it's not available to YOU.) Why bother shopping at Hermes if you think they are always lying to you? Doesn’t sound like a pleasant shopping experience at all to always think your SA is lying. Just my opinion. But congrats on your B30 and kelly depeche.

I am not stupid and am very well aware of this. And yes, shopping at H is not always fun especially when the SAs talk about things so vaguely (e.g., "no bag" actually means "no bag for you but we do have it/them"). It is actually their common strategy to not offer a bag.
