Good luck! Buy when you are ready to go visit family and take it with you.
Not sure I trust any courier service with luxury items. The cost of shipping, insurance and customs etc adds up drastically and has huge uncertainty

like

I would agree with others about not trusting international postage service to bring back luxury items. You might have to insure them which adds up. Luxury watches, purses, jewelry also depend on range...
Tory Burch or Coach, etc can be considered luxury for some but they're all made in China and I stay away from those.
I invest in pieces like Chanel, YSL, Louis Vuitton, etc : they are true luxury, will retain value if taken care of and will last a lifetime.
But then again, consider handing it to someone you trust who is traveling instead of shipping.
Alternatively (i had a friend do this) - get a friend to buy something, ship locally and you can pay your frnd for the cost but keep in mind, a Louis Vuitton in Mumbai prob might not be the same as a Louis Vuitton in Chicago. Good luck!

You want to buy in US and ship to India? Blue Nile but you will pay an arm and a leg. Define luxury items please?

Try Gilt, Rue La La, etc. I don’t think they ship to India. I would recommend buy it here and ship it yourself so you can insure it. International ecomm is difficult for most shops

Also check out Poshmark... good vintage stuff

Farfetch is probably what you’re looking for.

But just to be clear, you’re based/traveling in the US and want to take gifts back to India? Or based in India and shopping from India?

Well, that’s a tough one.

If you buy in the US, you would still have to pay duties on whatever you send to India at customs. I would maybe wait it out? That’ll be most “cost effective”.

Else, Farfetch continues to be the answer. Everything else is usually a scam.

I buy my luxury good from Sak’s, Bloomingdales, etc or from outlets in the US. Ofc keeping an eye out for sales.

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA
