why can't they ship to me???

[ling0882434]

I got so excited the other day after knowing Atlanta store has the EXACT birkin I look for. I called them rite away, but what I got is "sorry, we don't ship." those words broke my heart. Sigh..when will be the next time I see THE bag in the store? When I grow white hair?

ling...that sucks.....

aw i'm so sorry... can they transfer it to your store?

 

[ilovelouisvuitton]

or maybe you can ask any of your friends/relatives who live around there to get it for you?

Would they allow you to buy it first using your CC, then ship it to a store new you to pick up?

Edited to clarify:^^ as in buy it first over the phone with your CC, then either have them ship it to a store close to you or as GF suggested below, arrange your own courier pick-up.

or, purchase over the phone, and you have a courier pick it up for you?

They will do phone charges with AMEX, usually... hopefully they can transfer to your store...

good luck!

Why do they love AMEX so much?

 

[Serenity Now]

^^Yeah, why? Don't they charge higher merchant fees to the store? I know they do here in south Alaska, so quite a lot of businesses don't accept AMEX even.

I think b/c AMEX covers LOST if it happens, vs. the other cards DON"T.

^ ahhhh, I see. I think that must be a US thing...not sure if it's the same down deep south!

I think once you use it once and they have you on file, you can use a visa or M/C...maybe MJones can give us some insight??

Yes, this is what Yeti told me. Also, since I live in rural Alaska I had to give AMEX my shipping address so Hermes could verify it with them before even shipping teeny weenie items, like scarf rings. Even so they would not ship a bag, but I think some stores have different policies on that.

They would accept other cards only after I presented myself in person and gave them ID and a real imprint of the card itself.
