  1. All of the above - did order and pre-order from BiG, 2nd, Take5, PSA and a few others via mail, rakuten or otherwise.

    Most of them will not credit/refund you, but will try their best to work with you on a solution.

    When shipping to Germany you will most likely be hit by Customs and VAT - prepare yourself mentally...

     

     

    BiG does returns and I was never hit with customs with their shipments so far. But that is probably just luck. They offer an awesome service, but when you account Customs and VAT, you might as well order from DC4.

     

     

    Can i just avoid the VAT and Customs with just marking down the price on my shipment? 

  2. Probably yes.

    Otherwise I doubt they would offer it... ;)

     

     

    on a more serious note: to be on the safe side, make the pre-order via email and not via their shopping cart

     

    I would like to buy samurai jeans from rakuten and ship it to germany, do you have any store recommendation? or ist better to use proxy service?

  3. What denim is it gonna be? My experience with the 19 and 21 oz is, that the jeans shrink 1,5-2" when you do two hot initial soaks with agitation. The further shrinkage depends on how you wash them, but you shouldn't get more the 2-2,5" shrinkage. If you account for combs (that "shorten" your effective inseam) - I'd advice to get 3" more than you want to end up with.

    it gonna be the 17oz one, thanks for your advice!

  4. Hi, i want to buy s5000 vx jeans next month and i want to hemm the inseam into 32 inch (i am a short 170 cm guy) is it possible for the jeans' inseam to shrink more after the initial soak? How many inch will the inseam shrink after the 2 nd and 3 th wash? Is it better for me to buy the jeans without alteration?
