2258025 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hi! I am new to this forum and would like to know if there are any dealers shipping from Europe. I would not like my parcel to be opened by the prying Eyes of customs. Are there any dealers shipping from Europe and which of these would you recommend??? thanks!

Stephane Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hi All, It sounds a good idea to find a trustable dealer in Europe or to have all dealers find a way to ship "a stock" to Europe and then ship out orders from here. I have 4 watches in arrival from our trustable and nice but CN based dealers and the 1st one is stuck at customs since jan 30th... My Omega Planet Ocean 45.5mm My god, what a stress. Money is not a big issue: we all play a game and agree we can loose. But not getting the watch, aaaarghhh. I'll check out PT and Narikaa. Thank you very much Pugwash for that information. Cheers Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Which European country are you in. I have had eight or nine watches shipped from China to the UK and have never had any problems with customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manus Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I ordered, without thinking about Belgian customs, my first rep PAM from Josh a few months ago. The package arrived on time, without any extra costs. But I realize now that I was lucky. Normally you have to pay 12% import duty. But it can be worse.. A few weeks ago it was on the news that customs at the airport will check people for buying replica stuff on holiday. Counterfeit handbags, clothing will be confiscated and the owner will have to a fine up to 500 euro. So my question is, if I order another watch (let's say a Omega PO) and customs will check the package. What will happen if they see A 200$ OMEGA watch, Does anyone have experience with Custom problems in Belgium or other European countries? Is UK really an exception?

b16a2 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Sounds like the UK are less stringent on this kind of thing! I have never given it a second thought when purchasing a watch from any dealer! TTK, PT or Narikaa would be safest bets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2258025 Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Hi thanks for all the helpful replies. Im in Germany and I have heard for others, that the customs officers are looking through packages coming from non EU Countries, therefore there is a certain risk of getting caught. if there is a way of getting round this its better! kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dealer sent me the wrong ones (I asked for black bezel PO and white dial BCA), and will be sending this back at their cost, but if anyone in Europe wants it (to avoid EU charges) let me know, you could pay the dealer as usual and I forward it on. Both have not been opened from wrapping etc as it was obviously not the ones I asked for! Otherwise it gets sent back to the Far East and I get the correct ones regardless. If I can help a European-based RWGer that's fine by me PS. click email on my profile, as PMs tend to be full. PPS. hope this doesn't contravene any selling rules as I am not wishing to sell these, just forward them on, on behalf of a dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronus Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Great chance for someone who may want those two watches... Yep - either one or both together is no problem as it is dealer's cost, not mine So those people in Italia, Germany, Scandinavia, this is your chance to avoid customs charges and get it at Far Eastern dealer's prices (Apologies to any EU dealers that stock these at higher prices ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
