So I guess they are releasing another round of the denim speedy 25's in about 2 months. I was given the opportunity to preorder one yesterday BUT I had to pay full price, with zero guarantees that it will actually become available or that I will get one in about 2 months, and absolutely no cancellations or refunds....... I really like the bag but this was a big wakeup call for me. So I pay about $2800 (taxes estimated) now for a bag I may or may not get, and when it comes in if I don't like it too bad so sad? This whole luxury industry game is wearing thin for me right now. I think I am really just going to focus on enjoying the beautiful bags I have right now - buy a few designer shoes and other accessories and bow out of this rat race. Anyone else feel the same?
I have two bags that I paid in full for and I'm still waiting. One has been over a month and the other over a week. They're both still pending. However, my CA didn't tell me that I had to keep them if I didn't like them.
 
Im in California. This is what she said, "Hello Mrs. Wendy. Yes Almost Completely sold out in entire country. Available to preorder and wait time up to 9 weeks (in our system 7-9 weeks). Its a possibility, but can't promise and order can not be canceled." I responded "Full deposit, unsure if it will be available in 2 months, I can't cancel or refund or change my mind after it arrives. I don't think I should order...." She responded with "Not a problem. Have a good day and keep in touch."
I see where she said can't be canceled, but not where it can't be returned. She was quick to move on after you said you don't think you should order. She should have clarified. Oh well ... I agree with everyone else the prices are out of hand. I wanted the denim speedy but with the small zipper opening and a higher price than my Empreinte PM, I'm happy I wasn't able to order it. :P

this confuses me. i have been buying lv for more than a decade and i have never heard of a ca saying that there were no cancellations and /or no refunds. i think i'd find another ca personally because that really does not sound right. i will say that i don't like the preorder pay in full no guarantees approach either. i have had pretty good luck working with one particular ca who is very sweet and usually calls me with the items i've express interest in. i think having a good relationship with the right ca could mean a world of difference. i also agree it can become a rat race, or at least a hamster wheel and it is a good idea to try to resist that pattern and just buy the things you are absolutely in love with. that is where my head is at this time. sometimes i take a break completely too. it sounds like it might be a good time for you to take a break. we love our bags but there is waaayyyyy more to life. best of luck : )
 
Very pretty! I’m so very tempted by this but trying to slow the train down. :smile:
Thank you!:heart: Yes, I totally understand!

Yes, if it had the extended zipper like the Speedy 20, we would be in trouble!:smile:

I wonder when the return window starts ticking- when you place the order/pay or when it ships? It should be from when it ships (or receive it). Still debating whether to keep my denim speedy b25- will not be happy if I am shut out.

BTW- I have speedy in denim from years ago-totally different vibe- that one the denim truly feels like a favorite pair of jeans. Very different from the 2022 iteration.

Wow I would change SA real quick! What a strange reply, I would verify with a store manager that what the SA says is actually true and not just a sales-push in order to secure a commission.
I don’t know how it works in the US but in my country it’s not legal to not offer a return policy.

I believe it starts when you receive it.

I have been shopping with LV in California for years, and I also place order in full price for ones that were not available at the time. To preorder, customer needs to put full funds. The LV policy definitely allows customer to cancel the pending order, and also allows customer to return the item once receiving it. I don't believe a properly trained SA would tell you that the order cannot be cancelled. I was able to cancel orders that were taking couple of months. Maybe you should consider changing to different SA.

interesting perspective on the vintage denim. i can definitely see this being the case. for me, i have decided i prefer the vintage when it comes to denim but as we all know, this purse thing is very subjective and we all need to stick with what we love : )
