LoverofCar 6th Gear October 15, 2010 Share October 15, 2010 In term of quality...my personal opinion is that. LV is very good quality, especially the leather material......For Chanel, more for lady and the brand is considered to be more up market than LV............Sometime, I find that LV brand was damage by too many Ah tiong buying it and also the fake one.......I had bad experience with Prada....Got a wallet for 2 weeks and the side trim start to come off....very disappointed...... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabian Turbocharged October 15, 2010 Share October 15, 2010 If my last destination I Paris and I am departing from CDG airport , I can claim my tax and take cash from the airport right? If you buy from printemps, get cash from basement tax refund but if u die die must have the "shopping experience" at LV main store, check with them if you can get cash refund. 1 of my refund did not come thru and basically it's llst. If you wait till airport then claim, some receipts they tell u cannot take cash, how? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoverofCar 6th Gear October 15, 2010 Share October 15, 2010 nah... i bought 5-6 with 1 passport.... but if you buying from galaries lafayette...... try to do your cash refund at the airport if paris is the last stop.. go earlier to do the refund... they give you cash straight and do not eat your credit card details like lafayette try not to do the refund at lafayette as advised by most people... because my friend encountered... they gave you refund but later they claim back from your credit card... lucky my fren agent was on the way to paris again and got it sorted out... paperwork was not done properly by lafayette...... loewe also quite nice brand Bro, I believe because your friend never get the custom stamp in the airport....Because this is the proof that you left France.....

Sounds feasible and I can have more cash on hand as well . Hmmm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galantspeedz Turbocharged October 15, 2010 Share October 15, 2010 Oh ya hor , paiseh c--k eye surfing from iPhone now . Is there any admin charges ??? no admin charges.. but you can change to SGD though the rates sucks... they will physco you change to SGD.... but i insisted on euros.. but the counter people quite friendly... if you taking SQ, it is just behind SQ counter, the exchange place is telefax or something like that.. a money changer... i think SG has branches too... before that you must go get customs chop which is nearby.. prepare your receipts and goods in advance...

If you wait till airport then claim, some receipts they tell u cannot take cash, how? if cannot claim cash...... can post it out... they have a postbox just opp the counter.... get everything done and post it out... FOC cash refund or not is dependent on the receipt type... i kena 1 receipt like that but they did refund to my credit card Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm yes, if u ask me, i say, go walk through the main lv store, it's nice but buy at printemps and get your cash immediately after to spend. but if main lv store tell u can get cash back, then by all means go crazy. no point credit card as they will convert eur to sgd. cr card ex rate rate sucks and if they don't refund u, u also llst like me.
