hi people,

i'm super new to FP products and after reading the previous posts here; i'm now super paranoid to buying FP polos here.

anyway, kudos to this thread and the awareness you folks to giving to newbies, it's really helpful.

i read somewhere that buying from asos actually comes with VAT refund; can I check again how the refund works? Do I have to submit anything to claim back? My sister has been buying stuff from asos and she has so far not gotten any refund before, is it the norm?

also, I notice the term MIC, MIP, MIJ or MIE; can any kind soul explain what exactly it means and what's the diff?

much appreciated.

thanks

as mentioned by Inzuyaki, the various country of manufacture also corresponds to the quality and pricing for the apparels with England and Japan being most exp. There are also some made in UAE and also Italy for those rarer pieces or for their own domestic mkt consumption.

if you buy via a*os, you can claim back VAT refund, exactly after 30 days from the original date of invoice, just drop their customer service an email and they will process for you the refund to be credited back into your CC account. effective % is about 11-13% thereabouts after minus admin fees and stuffs.

if buy via fp.com, they do not offer VAT refunds for any purchase made on their site.

feel free to post any other queries you might have and will try to ans them.

MIC - made in china
MIP - Peru
MIE - England
MIJ - japan

different country diff quality if im not wrong

just to correct, MIP = Portugal

the shipping fees from FP.com to Singapore is flat at 14GBP. It usually takes 3-4 working days to arrive upon placing order as they ship via DHL. even Sunday oso they do deliveries to your door step.

I happen to find this in their site and this was stated:

"VAT is not included in our prices for customers outside of the EU."

yarlor, the only saving grace to buy from a*os is more savings from VAT refund, their shipping ish uber long. might as well buy from FP.com now since their px almost the same and delivery is prompt.

There is no more VAT refunds from A*OS since last year 16th Oct 2009.

agreed... the longest it took for me to recv my polos from them was 17 working days.

 

[fac19]

has shipping always been that long for aso*?

my sister usually have no problem with them; in fact she ordered one batch of clothes on 23 Dec, shipped 2 days later and she got them over the weekend already.

I think the recent delay due to the extreme weather in europe and US is also a factor to consider.

coze you can choose the shipping options, the faster ones means pay more. last time i bought from them was in 2009 and i opt for the std shipping which took forever to come.

haha no leh, those are notch apparels/cothings leh.
the most unworthwhile things to buy from those luxury brands are the apparels, clothings and stuffs.

only things like bags and leather goods are more justifiable and still has a resale value compared to a round neck tee or shirt etc.

hahaha ASOS say mione b4 13jan come , hopefully .

 

[MeRfMeRf]
