RUSH2112 11 Posted February 20, 2015 I always thought Chicago was the safest option. New York had the bad reputation. My situation is a bit murkier than a simple customs seizure. My watch was at my front door and because I was out, the postal carrier lost it. I bet it will turn up eventually. there is a thread about sizures at ISC chicago on Geek and thats stoping me for a new purchases outside CONUS. Marvelous replica (and I'm assuming the other TDs) can tell which city you're watch is going to pass through customs by your zip code. Apparently, switching to airmail changed this scenario and is allowing watches to get around the crackdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2004boss 0 Posted February 20, 2015 Yeah one of mine was caught in chicago. M went the airmail route on the next one. It's much slower but hopefully this one gets through Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was one, or may be some kind soul from the community may tell me he/she has had a similar experience and either advice me to forget about it altogether, or be patient.
