How long is it before you receive your VAT refund?   We bought some jewelry in Italy, while on our cruise this summer.  

 

The 22% VAT was tacked on to the purchase, and the store gave us a form which was stamped by the customs official at LHR, and taken by them for processing by Global Blue.  We checked for it to be credited back to our credit card, but no credit yet.  It will be 6 weeks tomorrow.  

 

Just wondered what timeframe others experienced.

We always get our VAT refund at the airport.
