Wester_Special 0 Posted April 1, 2014 My watch and extra rubber strap with a value of 460 USD is also seized by Dutch customs. Still waiting for official customs letter. But i already talked to customs on the phone. Two weeks ago i made a topic about a stange tracking status. And people were making fun about it. But unfortunately my bad feelings were right. I hope i can work something out with my TD. I have no problem sharing some of the costs. Maybe it is all a coincidence? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qwerty1000 78 Posted April 1, 2014 Mine has been awaiting customs clearance in UK For 12 days now. It's at Birmingham which I assume is the airport. Anyone had stuff through there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qwerty1000 78 Posted April 1, 2014 Also if it is gone when will the letter come through? Who's had one? Is no news good news and has anyone had one sat there for 12 days? Is it just my parcel or the whole shipment? I'm just wondering why it's taking so long even if it is seized?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qwerty1000 78 Posted April 1, 2014 Is it taking so long for us as they are being checked by the makers or are they just slow I wonder. My first one looks down the drain. Gutted, just want to know now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It means its been handed back to Delivery Agent (RM or DHL, EMS whoever) Sometimes it can go back to handed over to customs 2 or 3 times though, if this happens you are getting VAT and charges added usually. With reps though I guess that wouldnt happen as they just seize them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
