How much did you save ? Like how much are those last Hermes sandals in Europe compared to the states ?

[@Beccabogle]

Oran sandals: 595 euros before the tax refund (vat) Chypre: 710 euros before the tax refund (vat) and then I will get 12%-18% refunded as a tax refund to my cc

[@Beccabogle]

roughly $150 in savings on each item before the tax refund

Did you have to declare anything when coming back home? I visited Paris a few years ago and did some shopping and had to pay US customs and it was not a pleasant experience and I am planning to go back to Paris this fall and just do not want to experience that again when coming back home.

@@P1nkBarbie1 we didn’t have to declare anything , I think a new system, not sure they didn’t even give us forms to fill out when we landed back in Chicago

@@Beccabogle oo wow lucky thanks, I did not fill anything out but when they scanned my passport coming home to NY they knew I purchased something and stopped me
