      they're fairly narrow... sizing down may be difficult if you've got wild feet

        Has anyone purchased something (in the U.S.) through Oki-Ni and if so what was the experience?

          Yea, there was entire thread about the shit customer service, customs charges, etc. Also, find the international ordering thread, there was some info in there.



          Cliff Notes version:



          Don't order from them if you're in the US. Get a EU proxy or something.



          They charge you 40% customs fee.



          They do not take off VAT.

              Ah! I almost forgot about the poor smearing.



              Nothing sets off a pair of RO trainers like an insole full of poo.

                Re: Small questions thread



                How is it that they charge you 40% on customs? I thought it was customs who sent you the bill after the fact?




                Anyways, already sounds like too much trouble for a shirt.

                  they mark full price even if you buy stuff at 50% off.

                        i've ordered an item from oki-ni less than a month ago, and i live in USA.




                        the item got here in justone day via DHL. i originally used 10% discount code,but then after like 3 days, i received 20% discount code in the e-mail. so i sent an e-mail to them asking if i was entitled to another 10%, and indeed, they gave me another 10% discount on it.




                        btw, i was charged 3% custom fee.




                        overall, i was happy with their customer service.

                          Well, that's certainly a 180 degree turn around...I'm still skeptical though. Glad your experience was a good one though.

                              yeah SoCal, sounds like too much work for a shirt. Never ordered from Oki-Ni, but my luisa via roma experience here in hong kong has been great. No VAT, no customs charge.

                                I try to shy away from LVR because it makes me all teary eyed when I think about the time I used to live outside of Florence and how bad I want to go back.




                                Well, if I can't find the shirt (it is the Raf one with the faded print and draw string bottom and squared neck) at Seven, Jeffery or Atelier I may resort to purchasing it there.




                                FWIW I emailed them last night asking about who courier they use and payment via cc or paypal and I already got a response from Lacy answering those question.
