Do store/SA get credit for sales if I order on h.com and deliver to my local store for pickup? How's it affect my existing local purchase history?

Or should I call and have them order it for me (seems kind of round about)?

They do not if you buy it from the website and have it delivered to store. They do if they’re able to order it for you from their boutique kiosk and have it delivered to store

Interesting! Guess I'll be putting together a list of things for my SA to order. :smile: Thanks!

There is a growing consensus that if you want something you should 'buy it when you see it'.
By the time your SA gets your instructions and places an order the item could be sold out.
Engineering your shopping pattern to get commission for your SA and enhance your purchase history can lead to disappointment and disaffection.

Agree on the timing of something selling out, but anyone in sales will tell you that compensation drives behavior. A client telling a sales person that they’re trying to increase their pay is never going to go unappreciated, especially when sales folks have to deal with so much pretentiousness and attitude that tends to come with luxury sales

We are all human and I understand the motivation you describe.
Nonetheless, if you mean literally that the client is telling the sales person they are trying to increase their pay, isn't that incredibly patronising. Accuse me if being wilfully naive, but if the motivation is that 'it is never going to go unappreciated' doesn't that tarnish the philanthropic act?

When does the special Christmas packaging usually arrive at the boutiques?

Also last year Hermes gifted some papercraft Pegasus around the Christmas, were these available for every customer or only for V.I.P.s?

Feel free to send me a PM if you’d like to continue this discussion as we are getting off thread, but SAs do not work at Hermes to bring peace to the world through donating their time to make it a happier place to live. They work at Hermes because it is their job to sell things, and to earn a commission in doing so. They are not there to be your friend (though sometimes that develops). Sales numbers are compared against quotas so I highly doubt an SA would get offended if you are trying to help their livelihood, though some may I’m sure. In general, I have always received nothing but thanks from SAs when I asked them about ordering from web or them placing an order from the boutique, do you make more off a Constance sale than off of B or K, etc. They are happy that someone is looking after their well-being.

TL;DR - Sales people tend to get into the profession because they genuinely like helping people, but first and foremost, it is their job to sell.
