Guys on RWI reporting Hublot and Tag being seized so if that's true I guess all bets are off.

1 AP, 2 Hublots Collected from Customer (Trevor) 26-07-2012. EMS

 

Received and processed 01-08-2012

 

Forwarded for UK Processing 23-08-2012.... Out for delivery tomorrow.

 

Last year I had 10 Rolex boxes stuck in UK Customs for almost 2 months. Never had anything seized, I think that some parcels just get lost in the system for a while.

Richy, can you let us know when you get the package if it's been opened or not?

Are these shipments coming from China? or the US too? I'd like to know because I might have a solution.

Yes, I'll let you know if it's been opened but I've never seen that before. I've also had several other parcels arrive over the past few weeks with no problems. The way Trev packs them they'd need to pay the Customs guys overtime to get at the watches!

Folks, this isn't brand-specific. They're seizing any counterfeit goods they find, including watches, clothing, bags etc. Yes, Richemont have a standing request for seizure in with them too, but they're not the only brand affected...

 

Hopefully it'll settle down in a while, but for now we most definitely have a problem.

 

FWIW I've had a Panerai delivered since this went into effect, but another Panerai and a Rolex seized - along with a Hermes wallet. It's luck of the draw, folks.

I had a Nautilus and J12 delivered safely by EMS with no hassles in late July / early August, but 2xPAMs seized mid-August.

 

Am now debating my options...

I am fully expecting my 2 PAMs have been seized. No letter yet, but stuck for 7 days now. $600 potentially down the friggin drain. Worst bit is they are both presents I have bought display boxes, straps, and all sorts to go with it! Arghhhhhh!!!

 

Also have a Brietling on order awaiting QC pics from WI. Will either get them to hold On to it for a bit or try airmail as per the other suggestions.
