the manufacturer doesn't authenticate the watch just out of the bubble...dude! It takes a process, the package needs to opened , either customs takes it to the manufacturer or the manufacturer comes to customs/postal services wherever the case maybe , Rolex doesn't do anything for free buddy including paying for postage of every single rep to get delivered to them, neither will postal services assume responsibility, and no customs will not pay the costs either ... you are leaving this procedural issues out with your logic .
and yes, postal services are involved as each package is in their possession they have the burden to take or drop it somewhere
not sure which part of the world you're but by looking at your profile pic out of everyone you should know that there is nothing wrong with being high , and yes in Canada we can be high and post ;-)
What the hell are you blathering about.
Out of the bubble ?
The package needs to be opened ? - it already has been opened - that's why they think it's a fake watch.
You haven't got a clue what you're talking about - zero.
Rolex ( from your example ) has previously contacted the Customs department, informing them that they wish to be informed of any seizures of counterfeit Rolex. Upon seizure of what is suspected to be a counterfeit Rolex, Customs contacts Rolex.
Rolex sends a representative who will authenticate the watch at Customs - Customs aren't shipping the watch to Rolex, Rolex aren't charging Customs anything to authenticate the watch. Rolex is protecting it's brand name.
Rolex isn't going to send anyone for just one watch, and some brands don't even make the effort to protect their brand name by contacting Customs. If Customs seizes 10 Breitling, and think they are fake, they will contact Breitling who will decide whether to send someone to look at them or not - nobody is charging anybody any money - the brands are protecting their name, Customs are applying the law regarding counterfeiting.
The Customs department of a country is a government agency, not a private enterprise.
According to your logic, if Customs were to seize a 1kg bag of white powder suspected of being cocaine then they would have to ship it to the cops to have it checked out.
