Offered 35cm Black Togo B last Tuesday, which I declined because I just bought a Constance Wallet in July and the Evelyne Sellier in August. Mentioned the offer to DH that evening and he was surprised I didn’t take it because he knew that I’ve always wanted a black B since my H journey began. My previous SA (before he left the company) always discouraged me from black, there are so many other fun colors, you can always get black next time, etc. ... although he did offer me a Black Box Constance
one time, but I digress.
So, I pray it’s still available and call the next day, but of course my SA is off. Ugh. I call on Thursday and they still have the “please call during business hours” message on even though it’s 15-20 minutes after opening. Same thing when I call 5 minutes later.
Finally, I get through and I’m put on hold for 15 minutes waiting for her. She is with another client so they ask me to call back in 15. So, I do and wait another 15 minutes for them to again say she is with a client and if I can call back. I leave her a VM instead to call me back. I hear nothing for the next hour and decide to call her again because the anticipation is killing me. Finally, I get her and she says she will check if it’s still available and call me back.
Thankfully my SA does call back about 30 minutes later, but tells me someone else has it on hold. She’ll put a secondary hold on it for me and call me Friday if the other person doesn’t get it. On Friday, I feign patience until almost noon and I call. My SA says she has to check and call me back. She mercifully calls me back within the hour, but the other person has extended the hold. Ugh. She will not be able to let me know until Monday next week. This is prolonged agony.
On Saturday, my SA called me at 9:48 am. The other person never came. The B was mine.
On a side note, I have to say my SA is truly wonderful. In additional to having to deal with my craziness, she was diligent and hawk-like in monitoring the B.
P.S. Apologies for the lengthy post.
