This is correct. I've paid for full tracking before but despite that it stuck at the Langley bit and next thing I heard was from buyer saying he had it.

Shipping from UK to EU success

I got a watch relumed in Italy, I posted out by Royal Mail tracked and signed mid-Jan and it arrived without issue. On the return they used UPS, it then got help in Italy until additional paperwork that was required due to Brexit. That helps it up a further week, and it's supposed to be back to my today by 16:15, so that's 12 mins to go ;-)
From experience, I have stayed away from the DHL/UPS types and always used Royal mail. It takes longer, but fewer customs risks so far.

Not watch related but I ordered something from the UK to Austria and it had a big customs declaration form on it.
Luckily I didn't have to pay anything as it was under 20€

Is there any TD already have a EU shiping?
Anyrhing from UK will be part of custom and VAT cost.

It is safe to conclude that UK > EU sending is no longer 100% "customs-free" like prior Brexit.
It is just matter of chance and pure luck will your package pass without issues or not, BUT nobody can guarantee anything.
In smaller EU countries like mine, there is a 99% chance that UK package will be stopped, checked and taxed (or destroyed if customs declare content as counterfeit).
Anyone know some TD that moved EU stock or triangle shipping on EU soil ?
Thanks !

Doesn´t matter where you get the watch shipped from but NEVER EVER chose DHL... They will just charge you 50% of the declared item value doesn't matter which country you live in... Bought an Omega Seamaster, shipping went from China - Bahrain - Germany - Spain, the value declared of item by my TD was $60 and the charged me 31€...
A rep I bought 1 month ago just arrived today to Spain via PostNL, we'll see if they charge me customs or not.
I would rather chose chinese courier and wait 2 months like you wait for Aliexpress items and not paying that extra amount.

I’d rather pay £18 tax and have the item on my wrist in a few days. Ain’t nobody got time to wait 2months to save a few quid

Thanks for the feedback.
The 1st one was regular royal mail? No express or whatever? 1 day is faaast with brexit rules.
Hello, are they brand new or used watches?
What about invoice and custom codes?
Declared value?
Thanks for your help.

M2M watches, no idea about custom codes but most of the time describing the items as being to repair, steel samples & fixings or tool parts work quite ok when crossing borders. Still, I think it depends on countries, France is not a particular hard customs one for exemple.
The other way, I sent a watch to UK by the end of January which took 6 days to its destination, but it was the 1rst days of Brexit so maybe UK was not as "locked" as today.
So, so far beside filling papers Brexit does not really have an influence on shipping delays, but it may have changed within the last week or so.
I'll see what happens with my incoming packages.

I sent one Royal Mail international signed for on the 12th and it left Heathrow on the 14th and tracked in Milan on the 18th but not moved since so things are slower than they used to be.

You are reading that wrong bud! Your item will have left the day that the tracking update was performed and will be sat in the pre customs area of the receiving country not in the U.K.
