It's a Rollie.. from what I've read so far, they're leaving those widely untouched and even go as far as removing other watches from the shipment.. it's just the wait and the uncertainty that's killing me :frusty:A fellow forum member over at rwg had his watch in customs for 3 weeks and it was eventually delivered to him. I'm literally getting unproductive at work because I check the f*cking tracking website every other minute :lolcina:

I am in the same boat as you, I wouldn't say Rollie is untouched though, they are the most seized brand in the above poll, but also take into account they are also the most replicate watch in existence, so the odds are against them.

 

[fana05]

Yeah but then why is it that people had Rollies delivered and PAMs and other Richemont- or LV-owned brands removed from their shipments. I think the general consensus is that they're after those brands, at least in the other fora. Keeping my fingers crossed for you buddy. It really really sucks. It was the first rep I spent serious dough on, too

Friday will be 10+1 day so I guess that's when a new development could be expected and hopefully it will be released from customs

 

[ajmoretti]

so does this mean that if mine is found and another couple of working days pass I should get it ? seeing as on Wednesday it will be 20 working days since status of received and processed??

 

[44ark]

Yeah my tag and omega have been sat awaiting customs clearance since the 21st not holding out much hope of seeing them to be honest

Recieved an e-mail from the TD and they told me the watches are seized :frusty:
But the trackingnr is still working.....

 

[fana05]

fml this is so disheartening

 

[murklemark]

Mine doesnt say handed over to customs, just that it's with customs for processing. I check through the ParcelForce site not the EMS site. Tracking is always slow and inaccurate, this is the first shipment I've ever checked the tracking on, usually I just wait until it arrives, but with everything going on I've had to check a few times.

Ordered a Tag & Omega and delivered without any hiccups. Slight delay but it was sat @ customs (Coventry) over the bank holiday period.

All the Customs do is open the parcel and then inform the Rights Owner of a suspected rep. If they don't come and take a look then you get your watch after a long wait. Anything on the LVMH or Richemont list you can say goodbye to....

I'm doing an order tomorrow (not EMS) and definitely will be staying away from the LVMH/Richemont tossers

 

[fredour]

I've received my Omega PO and rolex bracelet there are three days.
My parcel had not been open but it had been stopped at UK customs during 3 weeks.

 

[tigerwoods]

I have a rolex 16660 SD and a Sub on order. Currently awaiting customs clearance since 31/8/12. I have a feeling they will get seized. Do we know if rollies are being seized?

Hope not as more money down the pan.

You should be fine with the Rollies but give it another 7-10 days if it's been opened by customs. That's what happened to me with 2 parcels.

Don't get excited when the tracking changes to 'Received and Processed'; that's the stage when they rip open the parcels....

JEEEEEEES! its only been since the 31st and your bricking it!!! patience ! mine has been there since 21/8/12 and still expect to get it,(fingers crossed)

 

[tigerwoods]

I was thinking that as well. To be honest I don't care how long it takes, I just really want these pieces to be delivered. These are all set for modding. I'm used to the waiting.

 

[frodostar]

My parcel recieved was not tampered with by customs, think its the luck of the draw with parcels getting through and parcels not at minute.

 

[tigerwoods]

I will just play the waiting game on this. I'm in turkey on holiday at moment but expect to come back to either a letter or more waiting. I fly back today. Updates to follow....

 

[frodostar]

my status has changed, i sent an email via the contact bit asking what had happened to my item, then when i checked just it had changed, this is status now, dont know if it was coincidence or not but thought id try to calm some members here, nearing 2 weeks with 0 action can be the norm.
