Same country unfortunately... I sent an e-mail with a complaint to test-aankoop (test-achet) about the monopoly position of the government within our postal system, and the abuse involved with taxing end consumers for futile formalities. France for example only charges 2 euro import fees.

Not totally exact. The import fees are rather random…but the worst thing is the handling fees
I got 4€ of fees for 10$ value declared from us and 6€ of handling fees on top

VAT is one thing, that I'll pay. But 18,5 euro handling fees is ridiculous.
Going to have to eat bread with bread for a while to recover from this one.

Welcome to the club brother.
Yes
Yes. That’s what i meant
Read carefully
La Poste charges 8€ flat, minus 2€ if you pay online
Fedex just slaughters you. Last time I paid something so obscene that my memory fails me

@Karbon74 Same here in Canada. Ordered Sunnyscopa paper and it went FedEx (no choice). It was almost $30 CAD handling fees. I called, found out that I could "opt out" of their importation service, but then have to complete all the paperwork and go to the bonded warehouse it was held and turn it over to the govt agent working there to collect the package myself. It would have taken me at least 2 hours, so I ended up paying. I'll never voluntarily use FedEx for international shipping if I can help it.
But on the positive side, @Erect , the WSO 55 end links are nice, and definitely much cheaper than gen!
That is true. I havent seen them in a build here, yet. Looking forward to checking off another box in the 6610 thread.
Just imagine, I gather all the parts and ship it to kilowattore, it gets lost, stolen or seized on the way there. I would cry.
So put it together yourself.
We see things differently...I just about melted the caseback seal on my wife's new Tudor in my haste get it apart and take a squizz inside.I need it to get aged/patina

Well I have set up a OneNote to log trivia like this
Not this particular post as Clark and Gleave are not cost effective options vs Cousins for EU, but yeah I started to log
OneNote is a shitty product though
If I want to use NH36a with the raffles case , do I need a different movement ring and modify the dial to fit ? I presume it’s easier just to use 8215 , but I have zero skills to make the date position go away

You mean NH38 ?
NH36 is a day date
NH38 will drop in fine in most Raffles 2824 cases. Just make sure you mention it in your order
Also make sure that you order the hands accordingly

Yes , that’s the one I meant. Thank you for the reply, will double check everything before ordering.

Theres warehouse services that you can use to forward purchases to in China, and then ship internationally. P a n d a b u y was the largest, and got raided recently, causing major havoc in China replica world. I’ve been with a smaller agent since 2015-6, but they’ve closed registrations for now due to huge increase in new users and orders. You pay a fee for them to do the work, they can take pictures measurements etc… but I dont pay handling fee anymore because I’ve spent quite a lot with them… theres still conversion rates/fees though.
