Thanks for all your replies, I asked if my husband could have a profile created but Harrods said no, it has to be done in person, NBS and Manchester both said it has to be somebody who doesn’t live at the same address.
All very silly and slightly off-putting in all honesty! I did consider asking a friend but it would then eat in to their allowance and if they’re being stringent about the 60 day rule, It could impact them for the upcoming collection. I know it’s not the end of the world but it’s really irritating
I now understand why people pay stupid premiums to resellers as it avoids this hassle!
Harrods contacted me again today to say that they have reserved the bag for me and are trying to see if they can find a solution.
