qwerty1000 78 Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Mine is through Toro but been sat in customs 14 days. Aaaaaaaaaargh In Spain? I know Toro does UK and Spain triangle. I always took the Spain route with him. No it's in UK. Edited April 11, 2014 by qwerty1000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wester_Special 0 Posted April 3, 2014 I remember that list, it's a few men (probably just one person) company operates at customs, I wonder email address is still Hotmail Both companies have long standing arrangements with UK customs to seize and destroy their goods. Letter was legit from them not that twat at detain-uk. I reckon almost all watches seized in recent spate of activity were one of these brands plus Rolex who are also known for being tossers with reps I received the official seized letter from customs too. How long was your item in customs for and which airport? 12 days - Dutch customs Dutch customs are strict always a risk to ship to you directly and not use triangle route to Holland. This is the first out of three watches that is seized. My TD said they never had a problem with Dutch customs. And i heard from some fellow Dutch members on this board they never had a watch seized. So why do you think so? Who was your TD mate? WI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YOU GUYS think my watch is ok ? It went through how long will its take to get here ? Anyone ? Same here.. Like others have said, just relax (Note to self, heed your own advice..) I'm not worried, they quote 7-10 days shipping via EMS I guess I've been spoilt by the last 3 packages that have got here within 5 days via EMS and got a bit confused as to why there's been no further update for 3 days.. It'll get here in the end, they always (ish) do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

torobravo 9 Posted April 4, 2014 There definitely seems to be something going on with UK customs and EMS at the moment. Thread on here about a seizure yesterday and one on RWI as well where someone has had one this week. Both had Rolexs seized. Just thought might be an idea to see if other people have orders in limbo, how long for, what they are and the tracking status. I'll start off with a tag carrera. Landed in coventry just before midnight on 21st. Showing as awaiting customs clearance since then. No letter yet but postman turns up here about 11. Bloke on RWI who had watch seized said his showed awaiting customs clearance all the time so looks like no warning now if it has possibly been taken. Fuck.... What kind of shipping method?

JSJ 0 Posted April 4, 2014 I've been following this (I think...) but but I wasn't clear that it was ALL ems. I have 2 on the way into the UK, one HK, one US. Both registered post. Been sweating reading all the seizures here and on RWI. If all these are ems, I'm back to the normal risk levels. Am I? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though nothing is gilt edged with customs, yours are transiting a different section in UK. Royal Mail deals with reg'd mail whereas Parcelfoce processes EMS. And yours aren't from mainland China either so not as 'high profile' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashesburn 0 Posted April 5, 2014 Just arranged reship with my TD but waiting to see what method he will use as think EMS is a no go at the moment for any LVMH or Richemont brand. These are Tag Hublot Panerai zenith Jaeger le coultre Mont blanc vacheron constantin piaget Iwc Bulgari Nice! I'm still waiting for my TD to hear back from EMS. He has promised to resend even if he doesn't hear back from them. Although not sure how long that will take. :( Just got to wait it out. Appreciate if you could update me on which shipping method your replacement will be sent and if you do eventually receive it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
