i bought three watches from tony . Three of them AP. he told me that his watches got seized through EMS and DHL . So he shipped through Airmail in two different packages . this custom issues are very big problem now a days . Specially in chicago as my most of the watches comes through chicago customs only . Now this airmail takes at least three weeks . This big wait time is killing me .

DHL has a large hub in Cincinnati. My current shipment came through there yesterday.

Did my watch just skip customs? Weird. I order dozens of packages (not watches) from china every year and I've never seen this before!

Lol. Maybe it moved so fast that only shows the latest in the string of events. I've read were there are times where a bulk lot is pre-cleared.

I just started a thread about my DHL package that was ripped open by customs. They also threw in a complimentary scratch.
