Mike on a bike Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I will let UK guys chime in but as I remember seeing some similar posts three days no biggie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielv2000 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hang tight. Those things are never updated correctly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dommysam Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Early days yet! Unless anything changes in the status you could find it sat there for a couple more weeks. I've also had parcels released within minutes and once had it turn up at the door whilst the system still states held in customs. It'll be fine, just don't stress it!

Gav_tt225 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Mine was sat in Coventry customs for a week, I then got hit with £25 charges but not the end of the world. My second came in 1 week exactly from payment to delivery so I wouldn't sweat it, just horrible having to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civic4982 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 The guys are just taking turns wearing your new watch. Be patient, they'll put it back in the box for you after they're done Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citystar Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Since five days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3nj4min3 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I know it sucks but hold tight my friend. I had a gen watch that was shipped from the States and held in customs for over a week. Eventually it was released and I had a bill to pay £20 VAT (including a handling charge). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankster23 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 In the US stuff can sit for 2 weeks, then the mail comes, your package is in there, and the web page gets updated 2 days later. Don't sweat it, it's part of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3nj4min3 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 You'll most likely receive a letter with a bill for around €15 VAT and handling charges I think. Once it's paid then they should deliver the watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citystar Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Arrrrrr.... went to Holidays in two weeks. Hope they are delivered until then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav_tt225 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Mine said exactly the same mate, just be patient the watch will turn up in a few days now but quite possible you may get a charge like I did. However I didn't wait for the letter, as soon as the watch was in my local depot I drove down paid over the counter and got my watch!!

Do you think i will get the watches next week? Have you had a card? As if it was an actual attempted delivery will leave a card in your letterbox mate or.... If not then chances are it means its on the delivery van for Monday... as I have never known PF to deliver on a Saturday but it could also mean that a letter has been sent to state you need to pay some charges but that I really doubt as its not in the schedule you list above (ie Awaiting customs charge) For Reference: both RM and PF state attempted delivery if they have sent out a letter/card to say you need to pay customs charges.. daft I know but tehy obviously dont have that choice when updating tracking...
