So this question always pops up a LOT but it still seems to be a grey area, basically because some places are more risky than others so its hard to tell.. it seems California and Uk minimal risk... and it seems New York and Germany are somewhat risky..

What I would like to do is create some kind of Guide for people to look at and I will try and update it through time to see what % of packages are getting safely into different continents and countries or even states

So copy and paste these questions and type your answer

1. How many successful packages have you received roughly?

2. How many packages have you have seized?

3. which country are you in?

4. Which shipping agent/s seized the package? Dhl, Ems, Epacket etc?

5. CONUS members, Which state are you in?

1. How many successful packages have you received roughly? 70+ DHL and 5-6 with 'normal' airmail and EMS.

2. How many packages have you have seized? 2 (both packages only had 1 watch inside)

3. Which country are you in? Netherlands

4. Which shipping agent/s was? Most packages have been DHL, never got any seized but I have been hit with DHL custom taxes 4-5 times (30-50€ each). Packages that got seized were send with airmail and EMS.

5. CONUS members, Which state are you in? -


Great idea for a thread, hopefully the new members can learn a bit about what shipping method is best for them. I do always recommend people to ask your preferred dealer what shipping method he recommends.
