Last year a triangular UPS shipping through a friend of SB worked fine for me in the EU.

Sorry to hear that mate, hopefully it will arrive soon. Are they strict in Spain about rep or why they are returning it ?

In the description of the package, it says watch repaired, so they ask me for an original invoice from when the watch was purchased, which is obviously not there :( and they are very reluctant to do anything, either you send an invoice that is real or nothing...

Maybe you can use a pill form another watch you have before , or they know it's Patek?

I ordered a moon phase from here but I didn’t receive any email or confirmation. Should I be worried?
No worries at all. Steve is in vacation. It's CNY. I think he will be back in one week or two. No need to be worry bro.
