BravoDelta 22,627 Posted October 12, 2021 A year and a half ago. But they're just now letting me know. The last tracking I had for this watch was June 2, 2020. That was after a two month wait. I long ago wrote the whole thing off to covid and then the customs seizure notification letter shows up in the mail today. The wheels of justice turn slow. Last tracking... Letter...

Intresting 21,712 Posted October 13, 2021 One way to look at this is that you got closure @BravoDelta Like knowing someone died and the body is now found... (too much CSI ?) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brang1 4,074 Posted October 13, 2021 @BravoDelta would you be able to say the watch was being sent to you for repair-hence the low value indicated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FunnyStarSystem 7,538 Posted October 13, 2021 I'll pick it up for you from CBP next time I come through JFK, it's probably on one of their wrists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that I would have tried to claim a "counterfeit" watch anyway, but here's the catch...On property where no action has been taken, their required to publicly post the item on forfeiture.gov for 30 days. After that it becomes theirs. The notification letter is dated July 28, 2021. The public post has long been expired and they have "acquired full title to the seized property" before I ever got notified. So there was really no way to ever get it back even if I wanted to. I suspect this happens with most everything they seize. So yeah, one of em's probably wearing it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCShrek 494 Posted October 15, 2021 Should have marked it as "enriched uranium" and would have probably come through with no issue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Left Coast Guy 24 Posted October 21, 2021 Have these been happening more, or is this just a one off? I don't remember much risk at all shipping to the US back in the day.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
