Hello, I Am New To This "world"

[LMAC]

I have been reading a lot the past few days and i am very impressed with this site.

I will definetely start ordering soon but have a general question to start.

- having the posibility to have it shipped either to The Netherlands, Belgium or Germany. Are there more experienced receivers to inform me which country, if at all, might cause a problem -

Thanks for sharing and as soon as I have made my choice ( "lefty" pam or an IWC Ingenieur) i will share my experience.

Take care

In my opinion Belgium is a bit tricky.

My first order, send with TNT from China, is on customs hold since november 9th

A fellow member, also from Belgium, has same problem.

I've lost hope to ever receiving it.....

Some members told me safest way is with registered mail instead of freight company.

Good luck !

If you order from Precious Time or Narikaa, you won't have any custom issues.

They are both located in the UK.

As fitmic said, ordering from an EU-located dealer will sooth your anxiety.

Else, simply 1) stay away from Belgium and/or 2) let the dealers choice your destination and carrier.

They know their job.

PAMs and IWCs are a little lesser risky than Polex and Kartier on customs issues too.

Btw, welcome!
