arminvanbuuren Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 hi guys, especially all you australians.. until today i've never heard on here or even my experience that packages containing repwatches have been seized by australian custom yet.. however the other day i bought a couple of g-star jackets, dior homme jacket and a christian dior shoe online.. after watching borderline security on tv i saw one part where they confiscate LV bags in the airport.. this is what got me concerned now.. and when i checked my tracking today it says that the package has been in the custom for a day already (i know ull say "this is normal" but seriously after 50 or so rep transactions.. the longest anything i ordered ever not cleared customs is 4-5 hrs.. never that i've had it there for more than 1 day.. but it could be the tracking hasnt been updated or its actually been confiscated).. but just to make sure.. has anyone here (even kenberg coz ur experienced with this) ever had any packages containing rep clothing and shoes confiscated by australian customs? im not talking about rep watches but more clothings and shoes.. thanks alot for the help tho.. ihope i can get some answers regarding this from aus members or kenberg or even other dealers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailboss Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Shouldn't have too much trouble unless you ordered multipul items of the same thing or a heck of a lot of stuff at once. I happen to know Brissie customs are down on staff ATM. Blame the swine flu. Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arminvanbuuren Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 im really starting to get concerned coz this is very unusual.. i hope they dont do anything to the package.. coz i swear its only 2 jackets and 1 shoe.. nothing big.. and the brand dior homme and g-star raw.. i mean come on i dont think customs ppl are really familiar with that brand are they? dammit theyre annoying me already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I hope it's all good. I just ordered my first (to Brisbane). Would really suck for the first transaction to go awry. Please keep us posted. Also, what is this "Bergies" you speak of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arminvanbuuren Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 well still nothing for me.. its been in customs for 2 days now... it kinda pisses me off.. like why the [censored] would they take that long to release and i should've had it by today... now even if its not confiscated i have to wait till next [censored] week! like it pisses me off big time.. and to tell u the truth having a dealer that doesnt speak proper english is [censored] up (SERIOUSLY I WISHED KENBERG CARRIED THE STUFF I ORDERED..

offshore Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Don't get too worried yet- I've had stuff sit for a week. Hope the value inc shipping was under A$1k! O/S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O/S it was about 180 usd.. but this is crazy.. but if uve had it sit there for a week in customs i mean then i shouldnt be too worried.. but on my experience it just seems a bit weird.. coz the longest for me has been 3-4 hrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I've had stuff in customs for 3 days, gets the nerves going doesn't it? It should be fine, Ive never had an issue and I've had a lot of watches sent to me let us know when it arrives ST4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastrmindalliance Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi, thought I'd post here instead of starting a topic... can you tell me exactly what your tracking message said about customs? Bit worried because my watch (first buy ever) has reached Aus and the message says "handed over to custom". This may be normal but the term "Handed over" kind of intones bad news... 0.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailboss Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Quite normal mate, no wuckers. It will be on your wrist in a cpl of days. Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmindalliance Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thanks for the speedy and reassuring trailboss, much appreciated! Think that's probably all my noob questions out of way. At least about the ordering/importing part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
