Problems in Poland.....weired....the polish are LARGE counterfeit manufacturers of counterfeit items !


WHENEVER YOU SEND SOMETHING TO GERMANY OR EUROPE....YOU NEED TO FLY UNDER THE CUSTOMS RADAR...THAT MEANS....THE SMALLER THE BETTER
-AS SOON AS YOU SEND SOMETHING BULKY - IT WILL BE CHECKED. I SEND 2 WATCHES....JUST THE WATCHES, NO STRAPS ETC
ONLY WRAPPED TWICE IN THIN BUBBLE FOIL....IN A SMALL PADDED ENVELOPE....
DONT WRITE GIFT ON IT !
WATCHPARTS - REPAIREAD WATCHPARTS- VALUE: 18 - 32 $ ....EVERYTHING OVER 40 WILL BE OPENED TO 100%
THANKS TO THE GREAT EAST ( RUSSIA - SLOWAKIA - uKRAINIA - ETC.)we have this problems now.

Yes, she does, and first package was EMS.
I asked her to resend with recorded mail.
But customs are very strickt here, i don't know the situation in Norway.

1 watch stopped at customs at Spain (liberated with a fake invoice). Another shipment catched & returned to Trevor (Very good guy. Actually Trevor is shipping it again using another method).

Both shipments were with EMS. NEVER happened with Fedex or TNT.

NEVER use EMS, the risk is very high !!!

When it´s stopped by customs, do I have to pay fines or something?
