Hey folks :)

When ordering watches, most of us europeans and especially germans are used to triangle shipping via UK so that customs won't seize the watches. But what about fakes of pens? I assume that it's out of question to pay heaps of money to have a few pens shipped via Britain - but what about customs? Do they care about faked pens? Is ordering a pen rep a gambling game? I'm thinking about ordering one or two pens at aliexpress and am wondering if they will pass through customs...

Thanks in advance...

I don't know about pens, but I wouldn't think it would be a problem. Like I say with watches. The customs people are not trained gen experts so they have no idea what they are looking at. and I think one or two would not ever be a problem. I thnk if you were ordering a lot of them all shipped together that probably would raise a red flag, but not for jsut a couple.
