Hi! I returned from Paris, has received a lot of fun - and of shopping as well. First I want to inform you that it is not necessary to buy cosmetics and alcohol in domestic duty-free, of course, if you do not have some kind of emergency need for such a purchase (for example, you are flying somewhere like Burma, where liquor is sold is small and expensive). Cosmetics in the Russian duty-free is more expensive than in perfumery networks - if you there is a discount card with a decent discount.
More than that, even in the western airports same goods are often sold for different money. Well, here's an example. I flew from Paris with a change in Dusseldorf. Over a bottle as a gift to his father and cream Lancome raced in the duty-free in Charles de Gaulle, twitching in line, afraid to miss the landing and tormented by the thought that the same cognac could buy without any nerves in Dusseldorf. But still I thought, and cognac, and cream - the French, and, therefore, should be cheaper in France than anywhere else.
So it turned out - in Düsseldorf's duty-free is my already expensive cognac turned twenty euros. So my feelings about the possible (but never took place) delay paid off for ten euros. Because, oddly enough, it turned out that the cream Lancome in Dusseldorf is ten euros cheaper than in Paris.
There is no logic. You never know where you find where you lose.
Yes, I must say, in the duty-free shops and clothes large networks, such as H & M and Esprit. To get involved in them, I would recommend only if you do not have time to walk to the shops in the place of arrival and if you plan to buy a lot. For prices in duty free on the mass marketnuyu clothes are the same as in the city, but in the city you can, by typing the goods for a certain amount (in France - 175 euros), to receive approximately 10% of the tax refund. However, managed to score a cheap store belongings at 175 euros complicated, it's easier to buy something expensive one in the store. :)
Tax refund - a separate issue. This procedure, if you do not know, multi-stage and has its complications. You get in the store paper where it says how much you paid and how much you owed back. In this paper stamped at the airport customs and then, if you have a paper provided a refund in cash, in kiosk Travelex get money. But! Just in case you do not fly at night, and the kiosk is open. Otherwise it is necessary to go already on arrival in cash in one of the Moscow banks, such as Vneshtorgbank, or any department, but only that it does. Or even in a store or the airport to write what you want to get the money by bank transfer to credit card and then send their papers stamped by the customs directly from the airport by mail. In fairness, I note that the issue of a special envelope that can be sent without the brand that is free of charge.
Finally there is a third option - a tax refund on the spot without customs. Such a possibility is in the "Galeries Lafayette", and there the bank tax returns not only to purchases made in the department, but also by external checks. One "but": in this case, kept a small percentage, something around 1, 5-2. It would be easy? But again "but"!
Have you ever seen how on the stairs of a market in the number of Chinese traders sit and traders? In the "flip-flops" in any weather, with a dejected facial expressions and dirty trunks item?
Imagine that absolutely the same picture is waiting for you on the distant approaches to the tax return in hand "Galeries Lafayette"!
The only difference is that Chinese women face downcast groomed for big money flops on them and on Vuitton trunks - also from him. However, the number of trunks and packages is the same as that of the Chinese market.
And all these people are sitting there on the ladder to return taxes on their purchases from Vuitton (what purchases were made from the fight - I'd never seen before, to the door in a corner from the not very interesting to me brand crowded of all people in the forty). And each and every in line for tax refund is holding a stack of checks - not only for ourselves, but also of the fact and that's that, and here's this guy. That is, for each, according to their very mediocre English, cashier spends 15 minutes, and in severe cases - and 20. In general, what I am: the easiest way to return the money at stake - almost there works fine, I checked in last visit.
Successful shopping - and do not forget that the journey he is still not the main thing. :)
