Bkk n zhuhai things dont suit me... usually do my shopping online from us and uk sites. bags get the sales to ship in from eu.. go malaysia is to shop for items which run out of stock in sg or country of origin or random buying. Haha

If you around Bukit Bintang area, take a cab (below rm10) to this kenanga wholesale centre, new 7 storey shopping centre, cheap-cheap, heard those shops in BB take there stock here.

VAT not easy to claim for online shopping
w/o VAT also consider cheap lah some of the stuff

i only noe got concierge services who help to buy but not sure who is good + reliable only as too much scam on the net

[lifeisfullofupndown]

can online shipping from EU? teach me leh i wan to buy

I emailed directly to the boutique to check if they can courier to SG. Certain boutiques do that even they have retail stores in SG.
Then they came back with purchase price of bag + freight all the way to door. There is conceige service by Vpost as well but never try before.

My purchase was a lightweight bag but the freight was quite ex to SG.
It was at EUR195. It was acceptable for me as the brand I have gotten is not available in SG. Compared to the only Asia store in HK, it was still cheaper by at least S$300-400...

I helped my friend purchase the same bag but ship to HK as I was just nice there for holiday. The freight only costs EUR80.

Do note that the tax rebate is not just the usual 11-13% if you buy from Paris boutiques. It will be usually more than that. Mine was around 16-17%. My SA helped me with this full de-tax. I just have to submit my passport will do.

You may refer to my reply to vaxvms... It depends on individual boutique if they can help to do the de-tax.

I think it all depends on whether the boutique is helping with it. If they already have this service for retail, they will do the same for those shipping out of country. Just submit scanned copy of passport then they will do the rest for you. So far my experience was good. The only thing is that you cannot feel your stuffs before you buy. If there is any defect, got to mail back then it's troublesome... Otherwise, its great!

Got chance but depending what brand you getting... Its just that not through the front door.
You can't purchase from direct website as there will surely be no option to ship internationally. Therefore, you got to find SA contact for that particular brand. Some SAs for certain brands do help their customers to ship internationally...I know you got to use either direct email or call to make the purchase.

For the VAT, the full detax is 19.6%. However, some companies take certain cut for their admin charges... It varies with different boutiques. LV VAT refund is at 12%, Chanel at 13% and Goyard at ~16%
