VAT refund for jewelry purchase
 

Six months ago I purchased gold jewelry at Olympico jewelry in Athens with the promise of the VAT refund. I got the form stamped at the airport & put it in the mail slot as instructed by the store. So far, I have not received a refund and an e-mail to the salesman has gone unanswered. Have you had any luck getting a refund? Thanks!

I have always gotten my VAT refund back in the form of a credit. I just purchased a LV handbag Wednesday and I mailed back the form. It does take about 5-6 weeks to get the credit. If it has been 6 months, you're not getting it. Did you mail the form in Greece? If you mailed it from another country, you must pay additional postage. Otherwise, it will not be delivered.

Well, happy day! My VAT refund came through today!

Congratulations! It's only been 7 months, huh? :)
