My watch is at the customs

[lcharly]

From now on... just order from the dealers who ship from EU (Precious Time and Narikaa)... or buy your reps pre-owned from EU-based trusted members.

Best advice imho.
I'm in Spain and spanish customs do not welcome parcels coming from Asia; they are ALWAYS inspected if UPS/DHL/Fedex/...are the carriers. (I ordered my first watch from Precious Time to avoid problems, he's got as good feedback as the best in this businees and is located in Europe)

"buy your reps pre-owned from EU-based trusted members"

I did once already, By-Tor

Thanks both for your advice...

In my opinion it's pretty safe if shipped by regular airmail (at least to germany). takes a little longer, but until now I never had custom problems. but you never know. :?

 

[takashi]

I agree with Seadweller. I have sent numerous stuff to Germany via AirMail without any problems.

 

[paulV]

Custom policy can be different in Germany, i'm located in Belgium.
It was the dealer's choice to send it with TNT instead of registered airmail.

Got already answer from the dealer:
"I didn't know you haven't receive it. But I don't understand why you requested to destroy it. :shock:
You can say you didn't know the package ask them to return to sender."

My answer:"
I didn't ask to destroye the watch...customs did, without notifying me.
They have never contacted me to ask what they should do with the seized watch, *****
They didn't ask my permission to destroye it !
There was no choice for me.....

Hey Paul

I hope your reseller will give you a nice solution for this.
I am sure you said to him that you did not get your watches. Maybe a kind of missunderstanding.
I cross the fingers for you that you will get something for the destroyed watches

Greetings Navi :wink:

P.S. Where did you get all your RWI$ from hehe 8)

 

[paulV]

Yes, thanks >pat...i will wait for his next mail and see if he comes up with any solution.
The RW$ i won with Klink competition.
The first one who would answer his topic earned 400RW$

What about your watch? still in Liege?

 

[NAVIGATER]

O nice to know with the RWI

Yes the watch is still in Liege and Andrew tries to get it back to Asia, to send it to me via EMS

Greetings Navi :wink:

I've seen there's a third choice for EU customers,
Homer is on CQout too, not many choice, but i'm sure you just have to ask him

It makes me wonder is the european market so little that the dealers,
dont make an effort to find a solution to this ?

[takashi]

@max: let's not forget that you're dealing with contraband stuff.

:shock:

Er, you do realise it's illegal to import replicas, right?

 

[maxmlian]

I do and I dont mean to be rude in anyway, but still if they can send them from another EU country with little or no problem it wouldnt be so hard to set up a organisation supplying EU customers from EU countries, for some of the bigger dealers, I mean I think they loose a lot of buisness over this.
