Wow, that is crazy. But sometimes it is worth it. I guess it depends on how much people really want the merchandise. I just think it would be a good option but I agree it is probably expensive. The suitcase we bought was about 150 euro so for us as Americans that was still quite a lot. But maybe it was cheaper than just sending it all back and then we have a Disneyland Paris suitcase too.Yeah, it is. I once left a coat at a hotel in the US and checked with 3 companies, and each gave me a quote of over $100 to get back a 2kg coat.
I was just discussing it with a friend and she believes Disney could negotiate rates, but then it would probably only be a good deal if you agreed to wait a few weeks, and they could ship several pieces of merchandise for several guests back to the US in batches.
For Europe it might be more interesting, but then only for those from outside France, Benelux, Germany, as those come by car, so for those who come by plane or train.
We first need to investigate how many people who visit the parks buy merchandise, where are they from, how do they travel and would they buy more if they had shipping options.
I didn't think to ask at the concierge to see about arranging shipping so that is a good tip if someone really needs to do it.
