What was the longest time you've had a watch stuck in customs for?

Its only been 1 day. But its driving me INSANE. (I wish i would have taken up yoga or something... :P )

 

Every time i decide to ship something through my actual canadian address. It always gets backed up in Canadian customs...

 

Its funny how all my packages through the states get through like a dream.

 

 

So, to help pass the time. What was the longest time you've had a watch in customs for?

Was it seized, if so, what happened afterwards?

 

:)

Had one stuck in there for ten days, once. It made it through fine. You have to think of this hobby like this: If you took the money you paid for this watch, and you lit it on fire and bured it in an ash tray, would your life be worse off? If the nswer is no: buy the watch. ;)

longest for me was like 2 days, i have ordered many watches from many different TD's. Im in ottawa shipping is usually pretty fast. My last order from Josh left GZ on Thursday and was on my wrist on the tuesday. I have two in the air right now and they took a little bit longer ( they were stuck in customs for 2 days ) they should arrive tomorrow.

OK, I'll tell you anyway. I've been lucky. My longest was no more than 2 days (knock wood!!!!!!!). My 3 absolute favorite words are:

Several hours, then I usually get a letter from them the following day asking for me to call them and explain the contents. Customs here in Finland have started to get pretty strict recently, stopping anything that has a value marked on it more than €22 euros. EU or outside EU.
