jchurch Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 That stinks. Hopefully your stuff doesn't turn out as bad as you think it will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I don't think you're gonna see anything from Clark for a while. He still hasn't re-opened his eBay store. One the other problems, I can't see Customs having a problem with some parts from Yuki. How would they know if the rep or not? A dial and band wouldn't seem to cause any notice.

Gorilladame Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 They opened a gen band a couple of weeks ago and closed it as it didn´t came with a clasp and has nothing saying Rolex on it. But the dial and the band with clasp now saying rolex in different ways and I guess the value on the declaration is not saying everything over 20$ Actually the nostalgia-2000 store is open: http://shop.ebay.de/nostalgia-2000/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340 Or not? did I came in through a backdoor (previous bought items) and it is closed. mmmhhhhh this is going to last....

TeeJay Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 It hasn't been the best week here either, bro... My wife came down with laryngitis, my tattoo artist had to cancel our consultation which was planned for tomorrow, another tattoo artist decided to insult my work, and to top it all, I got a threatogram on a bill in the mail demanding immediate payment...

ubiquitous Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 The wait is half the fun... Within reason of course. For me, the anticipation of parts coming in and seeing a project slowly take shape is what makes the wait so exciting. But when things start lagging on and on... When watching tracking and seeing one delay after another... I absolutely understand what you mean. There are more roadblocks in building watches than most would think (or assume). I'm waiting on a bunch of stuff too at the moment... So, I can certainly relate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilladame Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Finding parts, buying parts for a good price and receiving parts is heaven, but everything between which takes over 3 days is hell IMO And clicking the refresh button on the tracking page is pure torture every ten seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Man, Don't give up on all that stuff. As Gran says, it's Easter time, spring is here and all that. I saw yesterday on Ebay Clark will resume shipping on the 28th, actually the 29th because 28 is Sunday. So your Crystal should be shipping soon. As to ETZ, who knows. I have had two PM's yesterday from Helina and Neo, anxious to replace the defective DSSD that I shipped back in December. Supposedly they are creating a new order today. Another alternative that I thought about, and this is absolutely a last resort, but if you paid with a credit card, I would seriously consider calling your card company and disputing the charge. Simply tell them you received a defective product. You returned it for exchange and you have never received a replacement. Most credit card companies take these things seriously, especially if you can prove that you have made a diligent effort to correspond with the seller. i don't know how this will play out, but it's worth a call.

stilty Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Glad to hear the adapter arrived so quickly! Amazing how that is some times. 3 days from Canada to Germany is pretty good! It can take 7-10 days, or longer for a small packet from the US to Canada. Can't figure that one out. I hear you on the waiting! but that is half the fun! Anticipation. Only thing I'm waiting for today is a load of topsoil for the garden. Been waiting an hour, and now they call and say they'll be another two hours. So here I am typing away. But who knows, I might get a surprise and have some parts arrive today! I love surprises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 When dealing with international shipments, express or otherwise, I have a personal rule as follows: The "Fire and Forget" (for a month) rule. 1.) Order something internationally 2.) Set a reminder a month later 3.) DO NOT CHECK TRACKING before this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see Kay Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I hear ya. I just got an ebay watch part and while it looked good on the ebay listing, it is a total piece of shyt when I got it in my hands. My watch package is somewhere in transit and USPS dot com hasn't even got one entry in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have to say a lot of the things turned out to be not so bad: 1. ETZ, just forget it, no hope at all 2. Yuki told me to stay calm, also. maybe there is hope. 3. The dial is not send yet and will be send tomorrow 4. Gary send the crystal 2 days ago, he is getting better, but still in recovery... so my mood is a bit better for the weekend...

Gorilladame Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Just got this email from Fedex: Dear Mr. XXX Your package has been temporarily taken into custody by Customs because, at the request of the trademark holder's rights in the European border controls should be applied to an examination of possible trademark violations. We will inform you when we receive the decision by Customs. Thank you and best regards So I guess this one is burned.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
