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/

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.

Hi!👋🏼
I am quite new here and follow all the discussion since 2 years but never wrote but only reading your wins (or sometime not) so wanted to share with you my story 😊
My birthday is in 2 days and it was like 2 years since I was interested into H game (I would say)
I bought a Oran pair in December 2022 at FSH then a pair of Chypre at NYC airport in 2023 and earlier this year a new pair of Oran ans a Twilly for my wedding!
so not so much history purchase.
We decided with my husband (poor thing supporting me in this adventure 😂) to try again as a walk in as I never get a chance (except 1) in lottery. 1st time : nothing to propose in quota bag second time was earlier this year as a walk in appt they offered me a 24h24 which I politely decline. And today we tried again the lady at the leather desk was so lovely, I explained that is my birthday on Monday, tried several time the lottery but wasn’t fortunate enough and she ask me which type of bag I would like I said either B or K she said to come back in the afternoon by 1 or 2pm. (It was maybe 11:30 maybe noon). So I came back at 1:30 but there was another lady she didn’t really look at me and said we don’t have cancellations now come back later. Ok so we came back around 2pm this time and I found the first lady in the morning at the leather desk ans she said follow me I will find someone to help you! Wow I was like ok 1st thing checked! Then I had a pleasure to have a lovely SA who take the time to chat with us about Olympics and how Paris will be quite nightmare with the traffic etc so I explained to him that I was looking for a Kelly 25 or a Birkin. He let me tried the Birkin 25/30 ans also Kelly 28. I was going for neutral and GHW oR PHW is ok. Then 10/15min later he came empty hand but asking to follow him upstairs. And big 🍊 box!! It was very crazy in my head. It is a Birkin Craie PHW 30 I really loveeeeee her in first side! Even if Kelly was my 1st choice Birkin was my teen dream bag ! So we left this time FSH with no empty hand!! So thank you to all for the experiences you’ve shared ans wanted to share mine to also keep focus it’s a looooong ride but at the end the dream bag will be here !
Sorry for my english I’m not English native but french 😅

Congratulations to you, what a wonderful birthday present. I was at FSH today as well and I believe I met the same SAs you are referring to. One was definitely a lot warmer than the other. The nicer one asked me to come back after 3 but my flight was at 5 so I couldn't make it back.

Well done alyceten .. happy for you .. we may have bumped into each other .. you are the lucky one .. it wasn't my lucky time this time .. I have a high spend at fsh and sev ( but maybe not high spend for a fsh customer).. went to ask x2 / day for cancellations for 5 days and have no luck on applying for the lottery. It is what it is..but I'm glad someone got a special wish come true ❤️I went at 12.30 , 3 and 4 as I was told to come back in an hour and no luck ..please alyceten post a pic of your new bag xx and happy birthday for Monday fellow cancerian 🦀
