Got email response selling today telling me it’s not safe to ship all three watches in one package. Want me to send more money 45.00 to pay for shipping though pay pal don’t think this is right after full payment including shipping cost for all 3 watches with bank wire $1575.00
Question:
Any one having the same problem after payment?

It's actually less of a problem and in fact, more than anything, more considerate of Jtime to recommend not shipping them together.

Number one: it's not a normal product that will cause no issues when inspected by customs or the shipment could simply get lost on the way by the parcel company. Number two: if it causes issues, your local authorities can use the fact that more than only one counterfeit item were in a single consignment against you and claim that you had the intent of dealing with them commercially...

Personally, I prefer to order only one single piece at a time to avoid such legal troubles and to minimize losses when something goes awry.

Pay the extra shipping. You have a much higher chance of actually ever seeing those watches if shipped separately.

I’ve heard of some TDs like one watches and pure time saying they are very comfortable sending max 3 watches per package.

What’s your thoughts and experience ?

Lost 950.00 dollars worth to US post office incompetence - not customs. Two watches. Only time I have ever had an issue.

Anecdotal - but losing one is half as bad as losing two.

The post office locally or at receiving state?

And how did they lose it?

follow his advice
We can only give advice. If the advice is followed is ultimately everyone's individual call.

Reminds me of a dude a few months ago who wanted a TD to send him ten watches in a single shipment. 😂

Forget about the damages if this shipment is lost. Forget about any letters from Swiss beggar attorneys.

With 10 watches in a single shipment, if intercepted, in pretty much any jurisdiction in the world, you're looking at potential jail time if they manage to somehow fabricate and misconstrue criminal charges for "dealing with counterfeit merchandise" against the recipient.

I'll gladly pay for individual shipping instead, because for a single piece they can't argue pro 'commercial intent' and private purchase and ownership is legal in the jurisprudence where I live and the worst that can happen is confiscation.

Just want to give y’all guys an update :
couple days ago I got an email from Mr Li, said that he would cover the shipping expense on my first order and Mr Li …. thank you again ..! Today Lana emailed QC pics and videos of all 3 time pieces I looked over them. They all look very authentic and running correctly. I responded all is good and a thumbs up .. now I’m just waiting on shipping information and tracking number. So far so good on this transaction 😃
