jlrn366419 Posted May 5, 2007 #1 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Can anyone tell me what kind of savings can be found at Tiffany's? Websites say duty free prices can be up to 30% less, is savings really this much at this particular store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIGirl Posted May 7, 2007 #2 Share Posted May 7, 2007 This is just my guess but seeing how the Cayman dollar is worth more than the US dollar, I would guess their prices would be the same, if not possibly even slightly more. I wouldn't count on any sort of savings from Grand Cayman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew sailbum Posted May 7, 2007 #3 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Exchange rates have nothing to do with it. Jewelry is one of the few items that can be imported to the Cayman Islands duty free. There is a fiercely competitive market, and add to that the fact that there is no sales tax and Cayman can produce bargains quite a bit cheaper than the USA. This usually matches, or slightly beats, the cheapest prices I can find anywhere on the internet and I can wlk into the store adn see the item in person. As to Tiffany items specifically, I don't have a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittymom65 Posted May 7, 2007 #4 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I know this does not answer your question, but just wanted to let you know that I have visited Tiffany & Co on 2 other islands (haven't been to GC yet), and the prices at both were exactly the same as US prices. The only benfit would be the no sales tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlrn366419 Posted May 11, 2007 Author #6 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I did some research, it is in the Ritz-Carlton and it is a Tiffany Boutique. I don't see it referenced on the Tiffany website. Not sure what that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what that means. I would contact the hotel and see if the shop is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
