Mr. Porter 50% off sale - picked up gucci tux etc already - Page 44

Got a bunch of stuff over the course of the past few weeks.. Alexander McQueen sweater that I bought for $267, and then MrP was kind enough to price match it further when it went to $187. Folk chukkas, couple of Ami shirts for ~$80, canali cardigan for $200 marked down from $700.. this semi annual sale is awesome. 

Hm, there are a couple items on the Mr. Porter UK site I'm looking at. Anyone have experience with shipping to the U.S.? I think someone had previously mentioned duties are already taken into account. What about return policy? I'm kind of scared the items might not fit properly. I don't know if I can trust the Mr. Porter sizing measurements (it lists a IT48 jacket as having a 16" shoulder??? but their standard 39" chest model is wearing it, something isn't lining up...)

call their customer service, im sure they would give you the discount and let you buy as a US customer. IMO

I was going to pick up some solid Oliver Spencer brogues that were on sale for $250, but with like $50 in duties, and another $50 in tax, nope... so unfortunate.

Just got the email for the final round of Mr Porter (international) sales - up to 80% off.

UK site hit 80%, guessing that is final round?

Grabbed this burberry trench: http://www.mrporter.com/product/175853

For some reason, doesn't look like a typical prorsum (not flashy w/o tabs, etc.), will see how it fits (sized down based on picture/measurements to UK46). Will make it my work coat, since the 2 others are a bit too flashy for work.

These Mr. Porter sales are making me bankrupt, that is the 3rd burberry trench I bought from them.

Can I still shop uk site if I'm in the us?

Yes, shipping is like 25-30 euro or something though.

Thanks, hopefully I can still find something

Yes, I just ordered from their website. They remove the VAT but add duties (it ends up being a wash in cost since the two are almost the same for US), then add 30 pounds for shipping (~ 45 USD). AMEX also seems to charge me about 4-5% whenever I order from the UK for the conversion. The Burberry trench I got was marked down to 508 pounds, but cost me around USD $900 (after conversion rate, shipping, and AMEX conversion fees --- basically an additional USD $100 as a "penalty" for ordering from the UK instead of the US site).

My only concern, which I don't know if it is legitimate since I rarely order anything out of the US (1st time was recent Drake's sale and now this), is whether I'll get hit with an additional processing fee when the item arrives. I also don't know if this is subject to additional taxes (i.e. state?).

(Edit: Woot, post 1000! I guess kind of slow, since I've been a member since 2007)

When does the black frriday/thanksgiving sale start?

 

Should've started already, no? I mean, Thanksgiving is over! Mr. Porter will probably be having a sale 2 weeks into December if not.

Oh, I guess they don't do the black Friday. Thanks

Mrporter's sister site has just began their sales! So it should be soon. It's either early dec or after Christmas. My guess is after Christmas.

What is their sister site?
