I don't understand the repeated accusations and arguments being made here. OP says he will provide the information from Hermes when he gets it. Until then, is it really necessary to argue the toss?

Hi OP. I am so sorry to hear about your experience. Looking at the photos I see some things that look 'off' to me. I am not an authenticator, just an H customer. I will not reveal what appears off as I don't want to tip off counterfeiters.
My first K is preloved, I purchased it from an incredible local consignment store and also had it authenticated by bababebi who also confirmed it's authentication. Now you know there are ways to have a bag authenticated if you decide to purchase another preloved bag. I thank you for raising awareness.
At least you currently have an open dialogue with the reseller, which also guaranteed the authenticity of the bag. Make sure you take screen shots of your bag and it's guarantee, just in case it suddenly disappears.

Well, I understand your first quote that you not only don’t believe OP‘s story but also accuse him of making up fake stories about this.
Thus my original statement.
I highly doubt on brandoff Hongkong seriously. I have bought a chanel perfume minaudiere from them via Reebonz website. Upon inspection, I realized it was missing a hotstamp on the hardware plus no authenticity card or hologram. I message in to brandoff and the answer I got was they had been around for years and this is authentic, blah blah. Hello, it’s missing the hotstamp supposedly on the hardware, it’s clearly a good fake. When I asked again about the hotstamp they stopped replying. So I just opt for return. After returning, they continue to list the item up. Despite me writing to Reebonz letting them know, nothing was done. It was still listed. I have attached the photos. So what if they are reputable? There’s still a risk you’ll get fake items.

Sorry side track- 10k for that coco Chanel handle bag?! I don’t know, that’s a rip off to me, maybe I don’t know my stuff. And not to say that one cannot buy authentic luxury bags in Hong Kong but it’s one of the countries that’s notorious for fakes. China being the big daddy. Demand and supply. Sigh, best bet is to get from the store.
So you purchased the bag online from Reebonz Australia where the bag is sold from Brandoff Hong Kong. Listing said Sold & Packed by Brandoff Hong Kong and I suppose is shipped from Hong Kong. Estimated delivery in the listing said 6-10 days.
You purchased in on 26/12/17 which is Sunday and is not counted. There is some processing time the bag to be packaged and shipped ( usually 1-3 days) but lets say they processed the order in the first working day- monday and shipped it in the same day. So in two full days and half ( on the third day was already in the Hermes store) order was processed, packaged and shipped by Brandoff Honk Kong and you got it and drop it to Hermes store on 29/12/17. I'm not aware whether the bag have to pass trough Reebonz inspection first before you get it but in this time of the year all packages are slower due of high volume.

I really agree with what you said but my understanding is that one can't even wait to get a birkin. As in, I wouldn't have an issue if I had to wait to buy a birkin for my loved one but from what I hear you need to 'build relationships' but I really don't have the money for this. Having said this, the Sydney thread suggets a waitlist is open but I don't live there so I'm not even sure they would allow a non-local to go onto their waitlist.
