I noticed that the discounter Sierra Trading Post is featuring some Rimowa bags on their website. Mostly these are polycarb, but there are also a couple of aluminum pieces. I assume these are all discontinued or overstock.

In case anyone is interested, Koffer Direkt is running the 20% off promo again until October 6th.
I sent them a message via their contact form inquiring a out a Rimowa Original Cabin plus(not listed on their website) but they have not replied. Has anyone had any luck corresponding with them recently?

Printed copy of VAT Refund form
Hi all, I've purchased my Essential M Check In from Koffer Direkt website last weekend and awaiting delivery to my friend's place in Paris. I have forgotten to require the VAT refund form during my purchase, I've called them up yesterday morning and they have emailed the filled VAT form and instructed me to print it out and show to the custom in CDG airport to get the stamp.
I wasn't convinced as I assume we need to present the original VAT refund form with Koffer Direkt's stamping in order to obtain the stamp.
Any experience sharing on this? Does printed copy of VAT refund form works?

Someone pick one up and see how different in quality and performance it is to the Rimowa Original. Maybe there is no difference. lol.

Has anyone bought from koffer-direkt and had it delivered to London? I will be visiting the U.K. next month and am keen to buy a Rimowa Essential check in luggage and have it delivered to my hotel in London. Does anyone have experience doing this and is it possible to claim VAT on the luggage. What is the procedure? Thank you.

I’ll chime in that my Koffer Direkt experience was flawless. I ordered in the US, has it shipped to a hotel in Germany. They sent the bag quickly with appropriate tax paperwork which I had stamped at the airport in Düsseldorf on exit (the suitcase was full of stuff, so it didn’t need to be empty). I returned home, sent the paperwork back to KD who refunded the tax payment in less than a week (including mail time from the US). Great customer service and will definitely buy from them again.
I am looking to buy the the Original trunk - but it looks like the only place where I can get it is the Rimowa boutique, and have to deal with Global Ripoff.
Kofffer World ( another german on line retailer with a physical store) should be avoided. I have personally been screwed over by them over a VAT refund and shipping.
