killgarh 0 Posted April 23, 2010 Hi all, After 4 weeks of waiting my Robert's DSSD (I used standard shipping) I finally received the package...EMPTY... I wrote to Robert and he answered really fast and with him I could check on stamp that letter weight was 230gr exiting Thailand and something like 30gr arriving at my door I live in Argentina and I will NEVER use standard shipping anymore...so easy for this kind of corrupted country for custom agent or postman to open letter and steal what's inside... I spent the last two weeks thinking about the watch each day, when I saw the letter I was so excited until I got it in my hands and feel the lightness of it !!! Hope this can save others from living the same experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted April 23, 2010 Damn. Sorry to hear that Unfortunately it's something that can happen in any country - and not just with watches. We had a problem with a thief in our local sorting office a few years ago and a bunch of stuff went missing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Member X 91 Posted April 23, 2010 EMS is insured though, isn't it? Although what would you put on a claim form... ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted April 23, 2010 At least EMS is computer tracked throughout the system and has to be signed for. I would never want another shipped in a cardboard envelope like Robert uses. The last one I got, the envelope was partially opened and I could stick my hand inside when I pulled it out of the mailbox. Luckily, the watch was still inside, which really surprised me. It could have just fallen out it the mailman held it wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
