UK Customs Seizures

[marclooks]

Thanks Bonesey,
Thats what I hope will happen, I think I will give up and if she come through then it will be a bonus.
She arrived on the 3rd of August, 1 Month and 4 days of waiting.......crazy I think.
When I think about it, I think its also a case of misplacement or bag organising within the department there. Well I wont be using EMS/Parcelforce ever again, I will pay the extra for DHL, UPS, etc...

Can we confirm that all withheld were shipped by EMS or add it to the vote

Theres a reason why nobody is using DHL or UPS and its not because it is more expensive. It is because they have their own customs checks and the possibility of your watch getting seized is greater

Ordered my first sub c from Trevor 2 weeks ago.

He posted it via EMS on 4th Sept (We originally agreed, and i was charged for Airmail!, but for some reason he still sent it EMS!)

Watch arrived this morning. 6 days in total from China to Scotland, no problems.

According to the tracking info, from the time it arrived at the hub to clearing customs was...4 minutes.

Hi mate
Just brought a cheapie tag Monaco and a 007 omega that we're on special offer while I still wait for the pam 111 from toro good to see a friendly name too and I'm happy with both watches will post some pics later

 

[Senormankypants]

Excellent...I just heard from Toro that the Pam 111 should be in stock soon.

Received my UPO today 14-09-2012 it was posted 05-09-2012 (9days)
sent via China post airmail
I was unable to track the parcel even though I had a tracking number for the Chinese part of the journey, so i asked the TD to check for me an he assured me it was on its way. Does not appear to have been opened and package was marked as gift.

So.....

I finally took delivery today of the watches I ordered just about a month ago today, in Tony's crazy sale.

Here's a screen grab of the Parcelfarce tracking -

Since the parcel has not been opened and I haven't incurred any charges, I've no idea what purpose it served for UK customs to hold onto it for 23 days, other than to prove that they are a f%*king waste of space.

davylloyd - did you order any from the richmont or lvhm group? I'm interested in v6 HBB, an IWC and a PAM but don't want to risk confiscation which would put me off the rep collection hobby before I even receive and wear my first watch!

 

[tigerwoods]

My two subs also arrived this afternoon! Finally can start my modding !!!

They were unopened and all ok. Trevor put them as $20 gift on the CN22 declaration.

Still took since the 23rd August to get here though!!
