To keep things simple and short, I'll write this in few steps.

9/17 Placed the orders
9/18 Confirmed orders
9/21 QC Check
9/30 Orders have been shipped

And here comes my scary part:
  • Oct 15 2020 12:35 am
    The item is being processed by customs
  • Oct 15 2020 12:35 am
    The item is at customs

    The item has been processed in the country of destination
  • Oct 14 2020 05:13 pm
    The consignment has arrived in the country of destination
  • Oct 14 2020 05:13 pm
    The item has arrived in the country of destination
  • Oct 13 2020 07:57 am
  • The item is on transport to the country of destination

  • Oct 12 2020 01:31 pm
    Consignment received at the PostNL Acceptance Centre
  • Oct 05 2020 02:38 am
    The item is ready for shipment
  • Oct 05 2020 02:37 am
    The item is pre-advised to PostNL
  • Sep 30 2020 05:56 pm
  • The Item is at the shippers warehouse
The october 15th (today) is scaring me pretty much, because the item is going through the customs... (The country is Hungary)
Can anyone tell me if this is just a simple pass through or the customs do really inspect the boxes? Because basically I waited 1 month almost for nothing, and the amount I paid was not that small.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hey, no I don't use the Reddit... I don't like it.

This is very normal step. Every package will have to go through customs. Please wait and track it again in a few days. If they are going to seize it, they should call you or deliver documents to you

Here I'm again. Got the SMS from Hungarian post office, that the Box has arrived, and for the customs to process it, I have to fill some of the documents. (Have to mention who I'm getting the box from, what is the value of it, etc.), or if I don't respond in 20 days, they will send it back to the sender...(here we go...). Should i fill those papers or?
Thanks for the further help!

The first reps I bought 20+ years ago were sending USD cash in an envelope to an address in China, just hoping a package 2 months later will arrive in UK. You guys got it easy now :frusty: :p

Yes, doesn't prevent them from starting threads about how they've been waiting almost 24 hours for QC pics, or why they still haven't had a reply confirming payment they made over 6 hours ago.

I remember now, when I started buying reps about 20 years ago too, I sent cash to TTK Neil in an envelope. Good times!

Back with amazing news!
So after 40~ days the watches have arrived, and I'm more than happy with the quality. The seriousness taken in to packaging everything is very impressive!
About the CUSTOMS in Hungary (which is why this thread has this name), seems like we don't have that issue with the replica things, since they didn't snatch them (like I read some posts here, for example: Sweden). And yes they opened every single box, to check if everything was okay (here thinking if there are illegal things like drugs).
Tax? Yes, I had to pay taxes for watches and boxes, around ~235€ on around ~980€ purchase. (I'll post photo of this aswell, so people in Hungary know what to expect, and I'm wondering if I could have avoided that by choosing the UK triangle shipping?)
Overall, I'm very satisfied with the PureTime communication between us, and how smoothly everything went! Thinking on purchasing with my sisters boyfriend 2 more. ^^
And REMEMBER! The patience is the key here.
Thanks again!
