I've messaged my TD and haven't had a reply, which is annoying me quite a lot. Will this update when the watch gets to the UK or would i be right in thinking that it's been despatched from the sorting centre, sent to the UK and now it's on a delivery van somewhere?

Previously DHL has always been used so i've never had this problem or even heard of EMS.

Thanks for any help

what's the best way to ship a watch after EMS to avoid custom taxes?

 

[Dynaduck]

Nothing. EMS is the best choice. At least for my country. This hobby demands patience.

 

[ale5791]

i know that this hobby needs patience...but....it's harassing me...
this is the new "update".....

I suppose it's on its way...it would arrive in Spain and then another delivery.....under christmas holiday....a nightmare. It will arrive late january...maybe.

I'm pretty relieved...

I'm hoping that it MAY get here today or tomorrow, if not it'll be anytime in the next couple of weeks because of Christmas...

Item tracking history

 

[Dynaduck]

Well, to be honest you are one of a few members that is entitled to a bit of a worry. That status does not seem right at all. It actually looks like it's been delivered in China. Have you talked to your TD about this?

 

[Manray]

Nothing. EMS is the best choice. At least for my country. This hobby demands patience.

Ok but in my case EMS does not ship to my country, that's why I ask for the next good way to ship. What about airmail?

 

[JamesU]

EMS have passed the parcel on to Parcel Force in my country, so my tracking number works for them.

It'll be the same number, so try putting the number into the UPS or any other American tracking websites.

I have been having the same issue with a watch I purchased from Toro. It says the same as yours, that it was DELIVERED in GUANGZHOU to a DengChao something. I have emailed Toro once and just sent him one other email, hopefully he responds soon. I have purchased from him before so I do trust he will answer, it's just a matter of when and what happened to the watch! I purchased this as a gift and unfortunately Christmas is tomorrow annnnnnd it's not going to magically appear in the next 12 hours I'd imagine. Normally, I'd just write it off as the post office being slow, but reading that it was delivered and signed for makes me a bit uneasy...

 

[applez]

I wonder if this indicates it was "returned to sender "? Maybe the post office in China considered this undeliverable
for some reason (missing country, etc.)? Contact the sender. Maybe the signer was a mailing agent used by the sender? As others said, this isn't normal. I have used ems.

Yep. ..The item has been delivered in China. ..
Incredible...7 says to be delivered in the same city...and 8 days stopped in the Chinese post office.
15 days lost for no reason.

Good start. ...

My recente issue is with Toro and the signer also in my case was DengChaoGan....

Toro said that today he would proceed with another shipment. ..

do i have to be worried?

Hello folks!
I'm from Jakarta, Indonesia. I just made a purchase on Breitling SA Rep and shipped by EMS on 28/11/15 from Guangzhou, China.

From the EMS tracking site, the watch's mentioned to be "handed over to the customs" in Jakarta, Indonesia by 01/12/15 and has not been released yet.
Is there anyone here, esspecially my fellow Indonesians, got experience with customs clearance on replica watches?
How do you deal with that?

Well after 50+ orders I've never seen this before. Held by customs on the way out of China. Is it safe to say it's been seized?
