Customs EMS Watch Helpppp...

[TheCraigness]

Hey guys. I made my first rep purchase a few weeks ago and its arrived in the uk. It has apperently been handed to customs at coventry... is this normal?

Maybe im just a bit too jitterish and need to calm down.

Don't worry, can take a few days to clear all normal.

All part of the game brother

It's a tough game lol!!!

As above, relax!

Everything gets handed to customs for inspection, however, 99% of the time it only takes a day or so (often only minutes) to clear...

If you think of the volume of stuff coming through that Parcel Force depot in Coventry every day, they're only looking for counterfeit goods on a commercial scale which are going to be sold illegally in the UK. If you ever get a package 'pinged' it is becasue you were either very unlucky, the custom's guy was in a bad mood and wanted to pass it on, or your TD wrote "FAKE WATCH" all over the box!

I imagine they move stuff around with bulldozers in that place they've got so much to get through!

Thanks. Its passed through now. Phewww!!! Should arrive tomorrow. Can't wait!

That Christmas morning is part of the buzz of the hobby, IMO.

Don't let the tiny minor flaws reduce your enjoyment and start researching your next 1:1 ultimate made from actual gen........

Just out of curiousity, where do you live and how long did it took EMS to reach you?

I'm in the UK near Halifax and it has taken around 4-5 days to reach me. Has now arrived but the neighbour has it and they are out :facepalm:

I'd take that over it going to the depot which is only open from 08:00 to 13:00, 4 days a week, which is where mine always end up!

Enjoy your watch.
