I bought my last Rimowa (smaller carry-on) from Frankfurt store for a good price, while in the city.
However, I'm an expat still stuck in the Philippines. Would like to order a 'Essential Check-In Medium 26-Inch Wheeled Suitcase' for an upcoming (fingers crossed) longer trip.

Choices are:

1. Order from the states for $820 USD, + $80 shipping from the company that sends over my American parcels. = $900
2. Order from Manila, and go pick it up = slightly over $1,000 (and they don't have the color I want)
3. Order from German shop and pay to have it shipped.

I have a feeling the German option might come out cheaper. If only couple hundred bucks. However, when I bought in Frankfurt I was able to get my VAT back at the airport as well.

Can anyone advise what shops I could order from in Germany that will ship internationally?
Also there are services like 'shop and box' that will allow to ship within germany and then forward to me in the Philippines for a price..

Any advice?
