ricdiggle Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 If you look at the QC example pics on Perfect Clones, you'll see my 127. Seemingly, this is only way I'll get to see it too as it's now been in customs for over 3 weeks. Am I likely to ever see the watch or should I write it off now and try to get on with the rest of my life in a fog of hum drum 44mm only misery? A very sad first post from me.

gianton Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Call then and ask. I do it everytime one of my parcels is in customs more then two hours! What do you ask them? I'm always very afraid if I call them they will get suspicious so I just sit and wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altesporsche Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Where are you located ? I know I have had things stuck in customs coming into Canada for upwards of three weeks ... I just had one there for a week ... Almost two , it wasn't held for screening just not processed ... For some reasons some entry points of the canadian customs are very very busy. My item was accepted at customs on the 6th of this month and only cleared on the 19th . If your tracking states it is being reviewed by customs then it may still just be in processing .. If it were an issue it would have another mesg. I've been there and lost a few items over the years .. Hang In there I'm sure it will clear .. The dealers useually wrap the watch head well and customs will not open that .. They are only aloud to open suspicious items ( ie: weapons , possible illegal drugs ....) useualy with watches if they open the packages they will look quickly and that's it .. If its wrapped well they won't go any further than opening the box becUse they are not aloud to remove any protective covering without permission or suspicion .. I only know this because a good friend of mine works with customs and I like to know as much of the ins and outs as possible .. Long post yes but I hope this helps a little ... This goes for items going into the united states as well .. US customs used to put their customs agents in the same condo bld. I have a place in Trinidad and I've had conversations with a few of those guys on occasion as well. Cheers CP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricdiggle Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Should have said - I'm in the uk. If I call and ask, what exactly do you say. I suppose more importantly, what don't I say? Many thanks for the replies, I'll hang on in there. Joshua is being great about it too and I'm sure he'll sort it out if needs be. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Just phone them and ask when will they realise your parcel! Say that you are waiting for it now for 3weeks. They havent opend it that for sure (then you would have hurd about it) so just phone and ask. If they ask what it is just say somthing for your birthday that your friend in china sent you and as it is a suprice you dont know what it is!!!

DeeKa Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I wouldn't phone personally... In my experiences an official "lost parcel tracing" can get stuck things out of being forgotten. If they keep it for any other reason than it may just have slipped behind something it may not a good idea to show that you are awaiting it.

hambone Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Call customs, and tell them that your friend who you met in the UK sent you a gift and you were wondering why it took so long. If they ask what the gift is, you don't know. Simple solution and no harm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricdiggle Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks for all the responses so far. I'll give it another week - Joshua at Perfect Clones is also chasing it - and see if anything changes. On the plus side, my 390 is getting a lot of wrist time. Thank you all again, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
