spooky driver Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 i've had entries that go back and forth from 'Handed over to Customs' 'Despatch from Sorting Centre' but it's always good when it goes through Coventry. honestly i dont remember how long it 'rests' with customs but it sounds cool so far.

permabull Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Yup - look out for the postman, you'll have your watch any day now! The trail usually stops there for me - I've had things delivered to my door when the online status is still "Handed over..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
