Cyril_Clunge 0 Posted August 23, 2012 In an attempt to quantify the scale of the current problems, if people are willing to post details could they please state what reps have been seized, and could anyone fortunate enough to have received reps in the UK since 1st Aug please state which reps got through? Also anyone have reps sitting at Coventry for more than a week? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baxter 6 Posted August 23, 2012 Handed to customs on 5th August / Delivered 16th August 1 x AP Diver 1 x Rolex 1665 I have just been to the bin and retrieved to ems bag and noticed that it has been opened and then resealed at the bottom - the box has also by the looks of it been opened and resealed with an extra line of tape. I also noticed when i opened the box upon receipt that the bubble wrap around the AP didnt seem to be wrapped in the usual way ( it was a bit loose and messy )but thought nothing of it ... i am pretty certain that this package has been opened. If i am correct AP and Rolex are not on the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardMiami 4 Posted August 23, 2012 Are they also seizing packages from the US? Or is this directed only at China? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HWG 11 Posted August 23, 2012 Are they also seizing packages from the US? Or is this directed only at China? I sent a Hulk Rolex to Hazz, from USA, and he confirmed receipt of it yesterday. So, thats a plus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cyril_Clunge 0 Posted August 23, 2012 The guys who have had stuff seized or opened and received, not from same dealer are they? Too few responses I know but, my read on this so far is that only Richemont stuff is being seized, other reps if seen are being let through. Pickledbeetroot did receive a PAM so that would indicate that not every parcel is being checked. Are they just getting lucky having increased the random checks or is there a common factor between the ones they're grabbing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

overflow 0 Posted August 23, 2012 .....it seems that the seized watch are just related to the TM owned by the group.......but I am asking to myself : will they be really so kind to close the package in the case of different TMs ? I very hope so...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jacobarch 0 Posted August 23, 2012 Are they also seizing packages from the US? Or is this directed only at China? Gotten two packages from the UK with no problems. and shipped two with no problems. But I label them "broken watch - for parts", so i don't know if that makes a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
