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.

For those of you who placed SOs in Paris, was that through lottery appt or existing relationship with a SA? I’ve heard that it could be easier (in some cases) of getting offered an SO in Paris than at a home store because of availability.

My first SO at FSH was offered by my usual SA. My most recent SO was offered by a new SA during a leather appt. Happy to discuss details in PM to avoid going off topic 😁

Success story! Applied every day for an appt and failed every day. Went in on Saturday to ask for cancellations and was directed to the QR code even for a non QB.

Today (Monday) I went in around 330pm and the same ladies who rejected me on Saturday whisked me upstairs when I asked about non QBs. Offered a bolide 25 in vert jade, halzan 25 in vert vertigo, and ended up walking out with a rose azalee PHW Constance 18!

I didn’t ask about B/K but was offered 1 of each bag I asked about in the colors I asked for. I didn’t have a sob story, just mentioned I had been trying for an appointment. Dressed nicely and wore Hermes jewelry/bag (also when I was rejected Saturday) but they didn’t look at what I was wearing both times. My takeaway is to go on a Monday or Tuesday as a walk in and avoid Friday and Saturday at all costs. Big thanks to the people who posted here about going in around 3pm earlier in the week!

Awesome score!! Thanks for sharing :)

Before you were taken upstairs, did the desk check if you had a profile open in France? I read in earlier posts that they sometimes ask for your name to check your profile first.

I don’t have a profile in France yet, but I’m debating to maybe shop in the Sevres location to have some history before trying my luck at FSH.

Hi! I’m no OP but every time I’ve requested walk in at FSH, they’ve always checked my profile before giving me an appt. I think having a purchase history def helps.

Great question. I was a bit confused because I had purchased 1 pair of shoes a few years ago at FSH under my maiden name, old address, and passport; so I wasn’t sure if I would come up at all with a purchase history. But they asked my name at the leather desk and at some point when they confirmed who I was all my current info popped up (name, home address etc but didn’t see a purchase history on the page they briefly flashed at me). When I was rejected they didn’t even ask for my name.

Ask your SA/SM. They can do it for some favorite clients as a one time thing (like a special anniversary). (I have never asked for it or done it, but I know people who have). I also know of one VIP friend at BH whose SA said he was able to organize anything else (museum , garden tour etc), but that is bc she literally can get anything she wants with him and does so. (So I think his view was she doesn’t need a bag appt)

Congrats @shadesofpink ! I think @LovingTheOrange mentioned going at 330 pm upthread !

We purchased the GP bag in H Marseille just before the pandemic. Does anyone know if this will still show up as our purchase history in FSH?
