Sir MilesThe Wrong Side Of The WardrobePosts: 27,766Chief of Staff
Just to bring it to everyones attention....BUT AJB strongly recommends that people THINK before parting with any money. AJB will NOT be held liable in any way should anything go wrong with this venture.
Remember to try and cover yourselves should anything go wrong - remember that Paypal has a 45 day time limit, for example...
AJB hopes that everything goes well with this venture and is casting no aspertions upon anybody's integrity...thank you -{
I believe payment is scheduled to be made to Tom Ford on Thursday hence I guess if things are to go ahead he will be collecting payment shortly since it will take a while to round up the money.
I guess if this project is going ahead he will update soon
Also, want to give a shout out to Sir Miles for refereeing this MTO. He told me there have been cases of fraud previously (hence his warning up top). I'm keeping him looped in for every step of the way.
Edit: Recieved confirmation from TF. Update on the way soon.
2. The price is a shockingly low 111 euros for each tie (VAT is deducted since it's an overseas purchase). Please cover paypal fees when sending payment.
3. Shipping comes out to about 8-9 euros per tie.
4. Customs/brokerage fees won't be known until they are delivered. I will send out the ties as soon as customs fees are paid (If I had to guess, 20% of the declared value).
5. We'll have them before Christmas.
I'm sending a copy of the order form as well as my chain of emails with TF, to Sir Miles. I will also share the list of buyers with him as well.
I will contact interested parties tomorrow with my paypal address.
the cost is 111 Euro per tie, plus 9 euros per tie shipping? They are not sending all the ties bundled together? Or are they shipping directly to you, i.e. each individual buyer?
I will contact interested parties tomorrow with my paypal address.
Thanks everybody; I'm really excited about this.
Sounds like everything is coming together quickly for this order! Great news! I see you're going to reach out to interested parties - can you please update the Interest List in post #4? A number of members here, myself included on Page 1, replied with our requested ties but haven't seen any updates. Perhaps it's a good idea to have an official cut off day/time, so those who want to get in on this order have the chance to do so. And we'll avoid the "am I too late to get one of these ties?" posts down the line.

I think they are all bundled together. I asked them if they could send them to other TF locations (e.g. NY) for pickup, but they said no.
who cares! Im not showing off the box.
Since they're shipping in bulk, I am sure they wont include a box

Well its a very nice bonus and keep the ties pristine during shipping. No biggie (not in the slightest complaining)
Plus for your info - Simons "bulk" run of these ties came shipped in a box (it is a custom order after all)
if its chucked in for free then quite simply - its a nice bonus to have!!
