VigeeLeBrun, no I don't. I asked that question and the SA said the ring was special ordered just for me, so I can't cancel.

They also said that they can not get any status on the ring, and they have absolutely no idea when it will come in. It might be a month or 6 months, or longer. This is beyond frustrating. I was told by my SA originally that it would be 2-3 months only.

I was also told that this is how it is with Hermes.

I would not accept the new price since you already paid for the ring in full. I would write to their headoffice if I had to.
 
Bought a mousseline shawl from Wall Street today and paid the new price=915 (vs old price of 890). Strangely, mousselines on H.com are still listed at the old price. ?

I checked my receipt again b/c all other current info seems to suggest there is still no price increase on silks, and I am dumb...I accidentally saw the total of the 890 for the moussie plus the 25 dollar messenger fee. :shame:

Sorry for misinforming everyone! This makes me worry that the ACTUAL price increase will be higher though...so still definitely incentive to get those purchases in soon!

You just delivered the best news of the day!!!!!!!!! Still, $25 increase is OK as it's still around 3%, I'm afraid it would jump higher to $950ish, so with taxes will be more than $1k/each.

This seems so weird and WRONG to me: everything I have ever ordered and pre-paid for (usually jewelry as with SO bags you don't pre-pay) I have never had to pay extra, and sometimes (like with silver CDC) it has been a loooooong wait. I would think if you escalated this you would get a better answer - I hope so!!

That's exactly what I was thinking, Chestnutty. Last night I did the calculations and was thinking, "Hey, $25 actually isn't so bad, considering the percentage increases on other goods!" I think we will consider ourselves lucky if the real increase is actually that low... :nogood:
 
i just dropped by today and spoke with my SA. she said the price increase for scarves will be within/after couple of months but definitely not this january.

Thanks! Bought another GM from H.com pre-increase price....might as well pull the trigger now since price increase is imminent....just a matter of time....
 
wonderful news! perhaps I can squeeze in my spring purchases before the increase...
go go go go go
I have been to H like 5 times in the last 2 weeks.
Hoarding
Rushing to squeeze in 6 monthes of purchases before the final bell
A reprieve came yesterday in the news that the increase in silks and bags will be postponed
I did grab a few bracelets, leather and enamel JUST IN TIME
And franky the increases in those metiers were rather significant.
The price increase is coming, but apparently some issues occured in the actual execution of those increases
GREAT NEWS for us
There is still time to grap a few new season silks as the are now flooding into the usa boutiques and maybe get that bag you were planning to anyway......
