Unlucky mate.

I've always assumed that the risk is always on the buyer? Didn't think TDs guarantee customs clearance?

Nothing it's gone. Unless I want to fight it. Which I do not. They didn't exactly make a mistake... Lol

Nope no fine. You can always claim you never ordered it or you were scammed. Essentially by not replying you forfeit the item. They consider whatever you paid for it to be your punishment.

Out of curiosity, what shipping method did you use?

I imagine you'll get a discount on your next purchase rather than a free replacement?

Just another good reason why we have trusted dealers here, I'm sure Toro will go to plan B for you. I'm quite sure the gubment employee is totally honest and will not be wearing your watch :whistling:

Thinking exactly the same! Anyone else disagree? Move to the Philippines and report your experiences. ;)

I agree!!! He is giving me a full refund. It's a sucky situation he's out a watch and the money... I have learned that HK Mail is safer but slower... I'd rather get my watch 3 weeks later and not see the dreaded inbound into customs for 3 weeks like EMS. Then the letter. I know I ranted negativity about my situation but in the end. The dealer eats the cost.. :( I guess that's the game we play. So I am thankful he is taking care of me! I will be back for an omega after a little hiatus.

I seriously was nail biting on a m2m sale that shipped through Chicago.. not the same with SF or LA it seems...

I am sorry regarding your watch and Toro as always is a TD for a reason, always great results with him...
