I bought a SUBMARINER 116610 LV GREEN CERAMIC VRF 1:1 BEST EDITION ON SS BRACELET A2836 MAX VERSION from them and really had no issue except for having to wait 20 days for the bitcoin I bought from coinbase to be available for me to spend. Once they cleared my order went fine. I got qc pics a few days later and agreed to them they sent tracking and today I get a text from DHL. I call them and they tell me my package was picked by customs for checking because the value seemed low ($18) and it was stated to be a maintenance timer or something. He said that it drew a red flag from customs and it would have to be inspected. He told me if it wasn't anything illegal that it would ship to me as soon as it cleared customs. If it was illegal that it would be seized.
He asked me what it was. I told him a watch. He asked if it was a fake like a Rolex or something I told him to my knowledge it was not that the one I ordered online had no brand name. He asked me how much I paid and I told him I would rather not say. He was cool about it. He told me it would take awhile to resolve because of the government shutdown. He said expect 2 weeks at least.
So how does this work? I emailed Puretime and sent them a screenshot of the tracking with a note telling them what dhl told me. I am a little worried that I could get in trouble or something. I dont break laws I am a pretty straight and sober kind of guy. I really dont want to have to talk to customs or get charged with doing anything illegal. Anyone ever deal with this? Am I worrying over nothing? Will purteime give me my money even if customs keeps the watch? I would hate to be out almost 4 bills for nothing.
I still want a sub. What did I do wrong? It looks like tons of these things get in no problem. Why did mine get stopped when so many dont?
