would i be right in saying there's nowhere in Eire that stocks American Apparel?

You have to order from the site but it looks reasonably priced and shipping is within Europe so it's nice and customs free. I was going to order some stuff but couldn't because they only took credit cards, not laser

event

www.ebay.com

can get shorts there easily enough

According to the site they have shops in mainland Europe and London. Shipping is free as well.

You will never find a t-shirt that fits better for its price than an abercrombie.Especially if your muscley.

Gentleman Please in Glasthule had a lot of abercrombie stock in a few months ago they where forced to take down there advertising on the windows for legal reasons or whatever but i think they might still have some stock left.Or as i do just order from ebay preferbly from america as most items from europe and asia are fake and tell the seller to ship the item as a gift and i havn't got stung for tax yet!!

R.Rated

Would someone be able to tell me the name of the shops in Stephens Green and Malahide which sell A&F

Cheers

Piste

The shop in Stephen's green is called Tattoo I think, used to sell all the Nope stuff.

Do they even make the nope stuff anymore these days?

Just thought I'd mention that Abercrombie and Fitch can be bought on Ebay also, from UK sellers, thus avoiding the whole customs issue and a lot speedier than ordering from the US. Got a hoody delivered last week

Beanmachine

generaly prices in the uk are dearer than the us and if ur pakage is down as a gift customs can't charge you.

yes they can.

Blisterman

Word of warning, Abercrombie hoodie sizes are huge. I'm 6'2'' medium build, and a small sized one fits me loosely.

SligoBrewer

am going buying stuff from the hollister site now.. just one thing bothers me. the size and the customs thing..

the size thing more though

The whole thing is quite stupid tbh. There hoodies look exactly the same as hoodies you get anywhere for a similiar price and how many people have already stated the fitting is dodgy? It's quite obviously about just getting something that all your friends have:rolleyes:


Now dont get me wrong if your 13 thats fine, we are all like that as kids, but if your 20 and your still acting like that you really need to kop yourself on.

I wear them because they are fitted and suit my shape, they are good quality and don't end up falling apart/getting mis-shapen after a few washes. None of my friends have them :rolleyes: The fitting isn't dodgy, it's that they are American sizes so some people have convering them to Irish/UK sizing.

i was just doing it as the stuff is great value:rolleyes:

lot of d4's in sligo? mm?:rolleyes:

Beanmachine

ive never got charged customs once on any orders from america and ive ordered over 200 items i'd say!!

Creamy Goodness

doesn't matter what you get sent, or who sends it to you tbh.

customs is charged on everything, it depends on the company delivering it.

ie. anpost don't do a great job of collecting the custom charges where as UPS/DHL/FEDEX do.

and also if you get away with the likes of ups not charging you customs when you sign for the goods don't think they can't send you a letter looking for the money in a months time.

Beanmachine

just saying its never happened to me so dont think people should worry too much!!

The fitting isn't dodgy, everything I have from them fits me perfectly. However, different people, different shapes etc. Do you actually have the slightest notion what you're talking about?Just going on hearsay?

nope ur not charged from the US! ive bought 3 abercrombie hoodies and UGG boots at diff occasions and havent been charged! buy from the ebay US! way cheaper!:)

Creamy Goodness

ebayUS is a totally different kettle of fish.

most companies selling on ebay will mark down the parcel/package as a gift/marketing sample and therefore are a lot easier to slip through at customs.

if you buy from abercrombie and it's delivered by a UPS van and you don't have to pay customs i wouldn't imagine you'll see the same guy delivering parcels the next week.

SligoBrewer

beanmachine, rb_ie, from where did you get your stuff?

Beanmachine

got it from america through ebay its much cheaper than buying from irish or english sellers and there is a much better selection aswell!!

Oh no, s/he used "lol". What ever will we do! Idiots.
I agree with that post anyway.

Ideo

do you think there would be a market selling a&f in ireland? straight conversion prices, i.e. $30 for a tshirt = €30 in ireland, $80 for a hoodie = €80 in ireland?

Newaglish

I always assumed people only wore A&F because it was only available in the states and not in Ireland, thus exclusive to the irritating J1ers who think they've really "travelled" and want to show this off.

Thus, if a store were to open in Dublin, people would stop buying it - give it a week and everyone will have an A&F hoody, and then another week they will all be in the bin, because in any other circumstance the clothes are pretty cack.

Creamy Goodness

contary to popular belief not everyone that wears abercrombie would be willing to dump it just because it's not exclusive anymore.

you're making fairly big assumptions there about all wearers of abercrombie, but of course i assume you mean that it would be the annoying whiney teenagers that have fake socal american accents that would dump their clothes.

either way... meh!

Ideo

apart from the 'exclusiveness' its not bad clothing. it wears well and has a good shape thats why i wear it!
