Big Dazza Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hey guys looking some advice. I received the wrong watch which was also DOA from a dealer before Christmas and sent it back to China for a refund. So far 2 months down the line it still hasnt showed up and is most likely lost in the post. The watch was worth about £140 and I can only claim a max of £50 but its better than nothing when they've lost my post. Now in order to make a claim from Royal Mail in the UK I need to show what was in the package and the value of it. What do I do for this? Since the return name and address was not on any paypal payments I received or sent and I have no proof of value of the watch, not to mention I cant exactly send them photos of the broken rep to fulfill the checkbox of "Description of contents including photos etc" Would it be possible to send them photos of another watch and show a highlighted payment from someone else to make the claim or would that backfire? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astonjenks Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 It takes that long from experience and to avoid any comebacks, if it doesn't get delivered I would forget it. As a last resort I would only send back to China. Best regards AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffindodger Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 You can just show them any picture of any watch and do yourself a hand written receipt from somebody else. Or just forget it and live without the stress and move on mate. Oh and order yourself another watch to help get over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I learned this the hard way...when a package leaves your home country, you have little recourse. UPS and FedEx are better than using the home country's postal system but they are very expensive. I lost two watch cases sent back to China a couple years ago by US Mail so from now on when I get something that is defective I eat it and move on. Besides...you never know if it was lost, stolen, or sent to a bogus address supplied by the dealer. My guess is many dealers do not give out valid addresses. Some suspect China mail service throws a lot of the incoming mail away so they will not have to worry with it. UPS and FedEx actually try to deliver the packages. That's why they charge so much.

Watchmeister Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 +1. Don't file anything. The last thing you want to do is to file a fraudulent claim relating to a replice watch. When you ship a replica back to China or anywhere else all you can do is pray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Sorry that this happened Daz. I'm leaning to what others have said, it's probably not worth the hassle, and then you are filing a fraudulent claim on top of that. It's a bunch of money that seems like it's been thrown to the wind, and it was, but I don't believe It's worth all the trouble. Even if you file a claim, they will take months to pay. and will look for every little loophole to crawl through to keep from paying.
