Morning Guys
I wanted to open the discussion on etiquette on packaging and shipping from fellow members in M2M sales and get your views please?
A few weeks ago I purchased a Patek from an RWI member and as always paid immediately and provided my shipping details and received tracking details. The package was acknowledged via tracking that it landed at Heathrow airport on the 1st August and I thoght no more. On Friday the 14th August I chased the Royal Mail and asked where it was and yesterday it arrived in an outer clear envelope with 'Our sIncerest Apologies' written on it as it had been split and was totally empty apart from a small amount of tissue which was apparently used to wrap the $200 watch in.
I contacted the seller and informed him thinking that there would be no way that anyone would send a complete watch Internationally (Or anywhere for that matter) wrapped in a toilet tissue and put in a regular envelope to which the answer, along with two photos came back of exactly the said regular envelope and confirmation that he had sent numerous such packages without issue and couldnt b eheld responsible for theft.
Now, I am very street wise and very experienced sending and receiveing watches and can only say that although I believe the watch was sent, the sender was completely crazy to send any watch or part (strap maybe ok) in a regular envelpe and think thats ok or am I wrong?
The final question is do we now need to ask any M2M seller how they are going to package/send a watch/parts in future, yes I am a tad pissed with this guy for thinking what he has done is ok without recourse, for me Im down $300 which is no biggy, however in the literally hundreds of watches Ive sent and received this has never happenned before which I put down to being packaged properly.
Id welcome your views.

Wow, this came a s a bit of a shock, however one of my business partners just called me to tell me my 'present' will arrive today or tomorrow so I need to be there to pick it up and go through the handover as this is one of if not the most complex motorbikes ever.
The Ninja Kawasaki H2 is an engineering marvel that is supercharged with adjustable boost and a whole list of extras, to say I am excitied is an understatement and a few more pics later will follow!
Nikki (stuart) this one might be a great one to have a go on :-)

Would love to!
The budget for a season for British GT is circa £300K that is without travel, suits, hotels and so on!

No worries.
That would of course be minus fees of circa 10% on ebay.

Thanks Stephane
I have posted the same mail on RWI and informed the seller. I agree with you totally and think he simply has to take some, if not all responsability for his actions and ultimately my loss!
