No I'm anticipating it though, unless they aren't super strict in sending one. I realized I had more than 8 transactions in 4 weeks and I've purchased from 4 stores, not the maximum of 3.Did you actually receive the letter? If you did you're done for two years. You can always purchase through someone else's account (bf, mom, sister, etc.)
Yes, I was told they count. I called and asked as well as asked through the Concierge email. Most of my items are purchased online since I don't live near a store. I had no idea about these rules and I'm hoping they aren't super strict in imposing the consequence.Wait, they count a return as a transaction? And what is the limit??

They do count returns as transactions. It's good that you didn't get the letter. If you get it you are 100% done for two years. So you can't purchase online anymore?No I'm anticipating it though, unless they aren't super strict in sending one.

I haven't tried to buy anything (in the last week ) I just realized I'm in violation, hoping maybe if I dont buy anything for a while, maybe I won't get sent to ban island...They do count returns as transactions.

It's smart to wait a little. It's hard to say whether you triggered the system or not. You need a CA to check your account to let you know. When my account turned yellow last year, my CA texted to let me know.I haven't tried to buy anything (in the last week ) I just realized I'm in violation, hoping maybe if I dont buy anything for a while, maybe I won't get sent to ban island...

May I know what country are you in? I don‘t get why they implement this, clients are willing to pay, why do they limit them?I was told yes both on a call and in an email from Concierge. The limit is 8 total transactions in 4 weeks.
Great question! It’s on the website as official policy, likely worldwide. I think at least partly it’s to thwart resellers/bots that buy and turn and sell for a huge markup, especially from online shopping. I also think it’s applied in a sporadic way depending on who you are what you buy and whether you fit the “reseller profile”. CYA by LV.May I know what country are you in?

Recently I’ve been wondering if they purposely made their bags with flaws to show us that it’s really “one of a kind” handmade. I don’t think there are any other brands like LV where at times, certain items like the infamous monogram cles key pouch get so many “variations”.Great question!

And finally as with LV, who knows really?!It makes good business sense doesn’t it, customer has $, customer would like x, company sells x. Business 101. But LV doesn’t do business 101 - strange rules, weird drops, prepay and never receive your item after they hold your money for weeks or months, quality issues, etc etc. In the end most of us are left guessing.

I have definitely exceed the “rules” in a variety of ways, and can still buy what I wish. I don’t fit the profile of a reseller and don’t do that, and I’m not always searching for only HTF bags. I also have 2 great SAs I work with primarily and that helps. Like you, my pandemic buying went way up. It’s already slowed (And my wallet says yay!) due to some things opening up again. I was responding to Adeline re why the heck they wouldn’t sell to a willing customer. I’ve always thought it was to stop resellers whenever possible so that good regular customers have a chance to buy from LV directly.YMMV, but my account has been yellow for a while now based on my purchase history over the last 15 months. Normally I shop luxury less, but with the pandemic, I’ve been shopping it more and LV is one of my go-tos. I rarely purchase online and I don’t always purchase from the same CA or store, but I’ve been told it’s to make sure we aren’t purchasing with the sole intent to resell. I have yet to be denied a purchase, but a manager does have to come by and approve it it the system before a CA can finish my transaction. I have found that it helps to express knowledge of the brand while you are working with a CA, not rush the transaction and talk about the pieces you already own (if not show off some you are carrying that day). That helps to show you are a true buyer. HTH!
