If several of us have received items with a new date code system, then there must be thousands of these items already in the wild.

Ahhh that good ole Gun's n Roses song comes to mind .... something about a dead equine... LOL.
I wouldn't definitely exchange it for a bag with a traditional date code. I also buy preloved on occasion and I wouldn't buy your bag even with a copy of the receipt. My Triangle Softy was made in Italy and his has the traditional style date code. Good luck!
Mine too. Hey, are you the one that posted that awesome video about the bag on YouTube? I referred others here in TPF to that video because it is so informative and helpful!!! So, if you are that person, I want to thank you for doing that because although I had the bag by that time, I wasn't sure if I would be able to keep it (because once you take out, its yours) so that video answered all my questions or concerns. Now, I can take the bag out soon, knowing it's a sealed deal and a permanent part of my collection.
P.S. I've watched that video about 5 times so far!

Yes it's me. Thanks for watching! I'm glad it help you, I really like the bag a lot and am obsessed with the style and the thickness of the canvas is exquisite. Keep us posted on your experience with the bag. Good luck!
Will do! I'm so excited for the opportunity to tell you how much I appreciated your video!!!
I just purchased this bag from the same seller you did on eBay. It's the 3rd one she has sold. You are obviously happy with your purchase (authenticity) but I'm so puzzled as to how she has these bags for such good prices. She can't possibly be making any money...based on her eBay store and reviews she is trusted and sells very top dollar items. Waiting to se when it ships if it comes from Cali or Italy....I'm hoping Cali because I don't want the chance of getting stuck paying custom fees.
I understand your concern, first I didn't have to pay customs not sure how that happened other than to say just like when you travel overseas and have to declare you purchases and sometimes you have to sometimes you don't. Luck of the draw? Idk also they don't say in there sell ad I on eBay that you'll have to pay customs. Even most of the other sellers I buy from in Japan on eBay mention you'll be responsible for customs but I've never been charged any customs fees from them either. So again idk. Second as far as them making money, I think they make at least a few hundred dollars. This purse is 1880 euro which translates to around $2000...the seller sent a copy of the receipt and she got the VATS discount of I think around 340 euro which means their actual cost was around $1700 so I think they are making a good $500 after eBay fees and shipping and maybe they are paying the customs fees too. Again I'm not really sure how they are able to do that because my experience with VATS was you claimed it at the airport when you were leaving the country. I have heard of being able to claim VATS with the store or mall immediately but for the convenience you don't get the entire discount.
Thank you so much for your comments I really appreciate that. I have found those types of videos so helpful over the last couple of years and am so glad to be a helpful member of the community.
Ya I'm not really worried...more just curious. I actually found an actual website she has that she sells from too...glamrock.com i believe...same name as her eBay store. All her feedback is super wonderful. Excited to receive it. Bought site unseen so fingers crossed. Also love your video on the bag and it was what made me purchase.
Thanks glad the video was helpful! Please let us know how you like the bag. I'm going to check out glamrock.com as well and see what else she sells. Really curious how she consistently is getting around paying customs. It's a good business if you can get vats plus avoid customs fees. I'm not sure what the fees would be on this type of purchase. When I went to Paris last October I made a few purchases and realized the great savings buying there but to do it consistently...idk?
She has the same items on her site as on eBay. Did you ever have yours professionally authenticated? Hopefully she will ship today. I haven't heard anything from her.
Yes I used ******************. I've used them for over a year now. It took a couple of days for them to ship it to me which made me nervous but after they shipped it I had it within maybe 3 days.
Several of the Instagram ladies use Glamrock, and they think she is fabulous. I've never heard anything negative. Since she is a personal shopper, you can tell her what you are looking for, and she will shop Paris for you. 
I think you are all going to be thrilled with your purchases and the savings.
