greg_r 81 Posted November 10, 2011 The UK is the most rep-friendly country in the EU. No customs issues whatsoever. Keep your buying to no more than two or three watches in a single package and you'll be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted November 10, 2011 Only ever had 2 issues in 10 years with the UK one was for a Daytona and UPO and that was sorted in an hour with a piece of paper and the other was seized because the buyer was an arsehole and gave the customs verbal And I post 40-50 a week to UK so you are pretty safe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rc42 0 Posted November 10, 2011 UK customs don't much care about rep watches, their main concerns are drugs and larger shipments of things avoiding import duties, Oh, and of course rats..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narikaa 129 Posted November 10, 2011 I ship around a metric tonne a year into UK Keep it to <4KGs per consignment and about 1 in 300 or so may prove problematic They might open it..... and if theyre really not otherwise occupied (comforting illegal aliens etc) they may then take their hard line approach & return it to sender .
