UK customs and FedEx

Recommended Posts

Hi all, 

been a while since I’ve ordered but looking to take the plunge again! 

A TD is advising me against ordering via DHL/FedEx as he says it is a customs risk. Never had issues before using these express couriers with this TD. This is the first time I’ve been warned against it.

Was wondering if you guys had anything to add? Is shipping with FedEx and DHL now a concern? Like I say I’ve never had issues in the past!

 

thanks!

The dealers know which carriers are currently having higher than normal seizures.   I'd go with their recommend shipping method.

Agreed - do as they say...

Also keep the orders to single watches. Never had an issue with one watch but have with 2 or 3 in one box.

This! 

I always use DHL but @torobravo said no it's not safe last month... Sent EMS came just as quickly and no hassle. 

TD's do this for a living, they know whats happening.

Not true. Toro is a very well known star of adult movies such as 'Guys Wide Open' and 'Choad to Pedition'. He just sells watches in his spare time because he's fascinated by horology and wants to bring Swiss watches to the masses.

Seriously, this info is all in the 'Noobs Must Read This First' section. Do your homework!!!!

Wait a cotton picking minute!!!!!! Glaude's getting me a present. He's getting you a present. He's from a far off land. He has a beard. He's often found creeping around children's rooms in the middle of the night.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

I'm obviously not him ... I mean ... only two girls... what an amateur... 

@AskGinger They were out of the smaller format of the fleshlight, I choose another model than the Turbo Thrust, that was the only one left in 1/2" format 

@deju No PAM for you, naughty boy !

And for the original question from OP : Most of my packages are tacking care of by EMS/EMS Partner here in France

ive had customs duties to pay in the past with these couriers not from your seller of course, not sure if it was what the seller put on the postage label or just a random selection process, but they wouldnt release my parcel , till id been on their website and paid the duty

Classic courrier move , DHL does that too (been hit by that for a non watch related purchase)

Fedex is out of the question. Just listen to your TD, they know which is the safest

I looked Mazz through Ted's first 10 pages of posts but found that I was losing IQ points every page. 

It was a toss up between 'horse meat found in Ikea meatballs' & 'man eats cocaine out his dead brother's ass' that made me give up   :D
