FYI: I paid for my watch (from Sead) in two transactions via Paypal. One for the „watch repair parts“ (20,-€) and the rest with the second transaction/transfer.

c.dimitri I think Sead does it smart. I many times have had a package from China being held up in customs. They always ask me to present the invoice and also proof of payment. So splitting in two amounts and two payments works in that case.

That was my idea ;-)) but anyway, Sead agreed to do this in that way. Splitting the transaction reduce the risk just a little.
I don‘t think a smart customs officer when s/he opens a package and realizes that there is a rep for > 20€ and obviously there aren’t any watch spare parts that the watch will go through.

„The path to a rep watch is paved with potential risks every day.“ proverb just created by me.... ;-))

Happy is the man who presses the "buy it now" button without regret!

Hi,

Yes, I already received my watch.
See also answers #61 and #67.

- The parcel arrived after July 1st.
- It wasn‘t opened
- I didn‘t have to pay anything on the top
- the postman brought it to me with a smile (did he know something;-)))

it does not count when the package was shipped. but when it arrives in the EU. here if it arrives in July, the new legislation applies

for this what should I possibly do?
"The verification for the release of the shipment is completed" ... in Frankfurt can you tell me something?

thank you

The interesting thing is they wrote that I have to pay 13€ but they did not gave me their billing address.Maybe just test runs to see if their systems work. 5 weeks ago I got packages with the ( didn't comply with the new 29th 1th law).

I ordered a dial without any logo incl. hands for a project by eBay. I haven‘t payed any VAT in advance.

It has just arrived and one more time I didn’t have to pay anything. I found it in my mailbox.

we know that sites like aliexpress or similar follow the new regulations, but the most interesting topic would be to understand how ship our TD, which I doubt follow the new rules, in this case interesting is what happens to parcels once they arrive at the destination customs
