bertiesdad Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hi there Firstly thank you all for your input and guidance to a relative newbie! I just wanted to let you know that UK customs issues appear to have been resolved as package from TD arrived in 6 days (spending 2 days in customs which seems normal). No sign of having been opened. I got a Rolex GMT, PAM111 and a James Bond Omega. Delighted with all three watches. Keeping my fingers crossed that there are no more issues for my RWG friends with customs.

hub Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 A word of caution for UK members, Customs do seize items from time to time. My brother recently had his EMS package seized and a follow up letter was sent to him telling him that the package had been sent to the trade mark owner for disposal. Puretime then sent a replacement package by DHL which came through fine. So a big thanks to Angus for sorting it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Anytime you send anything through customs, it's a risk. If it's rep or counterfeit goods, or embargoed items (Cuban Cigars for instance), you run the risk of seizure and confiscation. If it's genuine items, you may end up eith a big customs duty on the item. I would not get too complacent, as the customs forces may seem pretty lax this week, but next week they get a new memo from up the line, and they change their focus to something else, and it may be reps!
