I feel so silly having to ask this, but I’ve recently relocated from Australia to Singapore and yesterday I made a purchase at Saint Laurent for SGD 2990. (The bag also costs AUD 2990 on the Australian website). The lady asked if I wanted to pay in SGD or AUD and I *stupidly* said AUD. I was charged $3190.
I’ve since researched and discovered that I should have paid in the local currency.
Is there anyone knowledgeable about this area who can tell me if I’ve had to pay a significant amount extra due to making the wrong choice? If it’s marginal I’m okay, but if it’s upwards of $50 I’m wondering if I have any recourse to ask Saint Laurent for a refund and to then repurchase in local currency. And looking at this receipt am I right in thinking my decision to pay AUD cost me an extra $122?? I’ve included a picture of the transaction below with the rates included. I feel so foolish for not thinking about this prior to purchasing.
Any advice is so appreciated!
