You can get 10% gst back if you are travelling soon, or if you get it over there depending on which country you get it from the VAT refund rate is diff. I know in France you should also get back about 10%
Personally I think it’s cheaper in aus. I have done similar comparisons before and decided to just get my VCA from a local boutique and then travel to claim gst refund.

But in theory, you should declare the $11k item upon entry back in australia, after all, the duty free limit is only $AUD900. If you purchased the $11k item, it is subject to duty and tax, namely, import duty (5%) and GST (10%).
You are lucky if you can skip custom checking but... what if?

I had never bought any luxury items overseas, too much hassles. All my bags, jewellery and watches were bought locally in australia.
On the other hand, I also saw Mel in Melbourne's videos.. She bought multiple hermes bags in paris and hawaii, and I remembered that she said melbourne airport doesn't check purchases.
There wouldn’t be much of a difference in price considering conversion rates and taxes. Would probably be stress free as well buying from here [emoji4]
I wanted to buy a few perlee rings but noticed the price at the boutique was $300 more than the price listed online? I didn’t get a chance to ask the SA why but I’m assuming that there was an increase recently? I thought an increase would happen at the sane time for boutiques and online. Maybe I should grab the items online before the prices increase...
I’m in Vancouver, Canada.
I was looking at the wg and rg perlee rings and the small wg online is $950 (but $1250 in store) and the medium rg online is $1450 (but $1750 in store). Both prices were handwritten on the tags so I’m assuming those reflect the new increase..?

You should ask and get this question out of the way.Really? Price decrease?
I should have just asked the SA today why the prices were different.
Omggggg nooooo. I hope it’s not an increase in Canada
please let us know when you find out!
Are you sure you were looking at the Canadian website? There have been lots of times that someone has thought there was a price change only to realize they were looking at the wrong country site.

Yup, 100% positive because I ended up buying them online
