gianton 14 Posted April 6, 2011 I have an issue with my order been hold by Greek customs. I ordered an LV Speedy 35 bag from Trevor which was sent via EMS to me and has been hold by Greek customs since 30/03/2011. Could you please advise what to do as this is the first order that customs taking so long to release. Looking for some feedback from other EU members if possible.

Silverspeed 10 Posted April 6, 2011 Nothing you can do really, not until you receive a letter from customs informing you they've seized the item or asking you for a bill of purchase. In that event deny, deny, deny, deny that you ever,ever,ever,ever ordered anything like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alw 0 Posted April 6, 2011 Have they contacted you? Back in the days when I had the guts to order from China/USA I just went to the customs and presented the PayPal invoice. But then again they never opened the packages... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted April 6, 2011 This is Greece the customs will only want money at the worst. Chances are if you ring to find out the woman you need to speak with will be in the Hondos center shopping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gianton 14 Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks a lot for your replies. Do you think is wise to call them and ask about my package? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdoe 0 Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks a lot for your replies. Do you think is wise to call them and ask about my package? Never ever talk to the govt unless under duress! Then only tell them what they want to hear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jameo210369 0 Posted April 6, 2011 Call the customs officers and tell them a friend has sent you a gift and that the gift is being held up by them, ask if there is a reason why they would hold a gift? Pretend you have no idea what the gift is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gianton 14 Posted April 7, 2011 Just to let you know that I checked with EMS.cn and it shows that my parcel got released from customs today! Still hasn't shown on the Greek EMS system but hopefully it will do tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
