Hi,

I hope someone can give me an advice.

I recently brought a Sac Souple 35 from Ebay for cheap price then sent in to LV for repair. First appointment with Care Service by phone she quoted $180 for repair of zipper, unknown for all outside vachetta, so she have me ship the bag in. Second phone call after the Atelier take a look, $1560 for zipper, vachetta and hardware. I decided that I don't need hardware to be replace, and paying that much for repair, so we agreed with zipper $280 (new price), $600 plus for outside vachetta. She asked me to approve it once we hang up. I waited next day, no price showed but I approved anyway. Two day passed, I noticed it listed as $1560 not $800 plus that we agreed to, so I immediately contact LV customer service, they then open another ticket for me. Since then, no one call me so I decided to email Care Service instead. There response I got from email is that because I reviewed and acknowledged the repair, so either NOT repair or leave as is? This is the first time that happened to me. What if the Care Service that I spoke to earlier forgot to change the repair items or the price? Should I call and speak to a manager? Should I leave as is and not pay once it done? Should I NOT repair now and try again later?
 
Should I leave as is and not pay once it done? ?
You don't get to not pay for repair work you ordered. That is not an option. You must clarify what repairs you are approving and have them tell you and put in writing what it will cost. Obviously there was miscommunication, perhaps a result of a language barrier issue.

Part of this is my fault because I accepted the repair without seeing the actual amount. Normally they would send me an email break down of cost but not this time.
