Here's another incident shared to us by Ansam where she encountered some retail unfairness (that's my politically correct way of saying ripped off!). Apparently, Ansam went to BCBG at Arraya and bought this dress, shoes, and bag and her total was around KD 364. Later she has found out that the same items are available on Saks.com and they total to USD 871.60, which is equivalent to KD 239.
If Ansam bought these items online, she would have saved around KD 100. Ansam, you learned your lesson the hard way. I feel for you, I've been in such situation and it is extremely annoying! Especially that stores here in Kuwait rarely apply the "Refund" policy. In fact, the only places I can think of which provide a refund for their clients are Zara and Al-Shaya Group. You either get store credit and or hit the highway.

Phew! That was close huh?! I think retailers in Kuwait need to realize that most women compare prices of high-luxury items before they splurge. We always try to get the best deal out of anything in order to justify our purchases. Oh well, I hope they'll do sth about it.

This way, you tend to buy things more wisely (almost aways) :P
I am sure that once it goes on sale it will be the same price.
Fall is very hard for retailers in Kuwait,so other countries go on sale earlier then in Kuwait, but their season starts much earlier.
Having said that, I would buy the one that is on sale.
On the other hand, maybe you should mention it to them, they might do something about it
U.S retailers start discounting after thanksgiving

with the online bcbg price, you made sure to add the NY tax of 8 3/4 % and the shipping to aramex and the aramex shipping to kuwait estimate fee?
