So I’ve been able to go around global blue but only for larger purchases. The Audemars Pigeut store processes it themselves. So when you buy a $20000 watch you’re getting back almost all of the VAT. But I can see why they don’t do it for smaller purchases. I just went to Bvgari to get some for the the wife. The 3000 and 5000 euro necklaces get 12 percent back but the 6500+ ones get 15 percent back.
