American Eagle (Clothing)

Travel is good

I had to pay VAT too, my order was small. It sounds like we are all getting stung for VAT. Thanks for the info. about paying customs on orders over $150. The Customs & Excise people must be following this thread. I got away with not paying any VAT on my first order about a month ago, and I ordered more stuff than I'm getting now. I still really like the clothes though.

I'm planning to go to London shortly and saw this:

Edit:

I just received my order.

€44 for the clothes
€50 for the shipping
€7.37 for the VAT

So the next time I'll put in a bigger order, for the shipping costs to be worthwhile. There was a 40% discount on the clothes, which was definitely good. I'm still happy enough. Though I'm seriously thinking of visiting AE in the US again (it's just an excuse!).

I also received this discount code:

20% off your next online purchase (expires 22/9/11)
Code 83892001

If anyone wants to use it, you're welcome, as I probably don't need any more AE stuff at the moment. The discount code is valid for one-time use only.

DHL attempted to deliver mine today, but only after a Customs charge of €308 was paid. Told them I wouldn't pay it and am now trying to get AE to send a price confirmation to get Customs to reduce the charge. Customs had the invoice marked at €1200 when the order was only €300 in total.

Anyone else still having their items held by customs? I've been running around in circles trying to get them to cop the fook on and reduce the charges. I've had AE contact them with a corrected invoice which they deny getting and I've forwarded them the invoice I received off AE.

Anyone else having trouble with a very stubborn customs team?

$7 for shipping to US Mainland. If you go to check out and enter an Irish address, it will correct it to $50 overseas delivery.

Hi Cantgetnoscleep. the following links gets updated quite frequently with American Eagle discount codes, but there is no discount code at the moment.
There is a big sale in the US this weekend and in to monday (Memorial day) so you should see decent discount codes before then.

With the shift in exchange rates you would need to be ordering a savage amount to justify the €40 delivery charges plus duties on top.

another order put in

happy days

For a similar style of clothing, I see that J Crew now ship to Ireland. They have free shipping until 30 May. You also pay VAT etc. upfront so no issues with customs/couriers...

their clothes are nice but woah some of the prices are over the top!

Has anyone used a US address to send an order to, to avail of the free shipping and then get a mate to send it to Ireland labelled as a gift?
How does it work? Do they have to open the parcel and take the tags off?

Thinking of ordering from A&F or Hollister soon, any idea on what the taxes/import duties or extra charges would be my order would be around 150Eur including shipping? I presume theyd be the same as AE

Just did an order on AE there. It costs 49.80Euro, any idea on the tax/duty id have to pay?

For the A&F/Hollister order would I just have to pay the 23% or do I have to pay extra because its over a certain amount?

Do you still just order off the american website for this or is it a euro address

zep

should just redirect you to the euro store. If It doesn't then click the flag bottom right and select country and currency.
