LeGambleur Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 Got a letter from the post office yesterday, not a good sign. They want me to send them a letter with information about a package from China The info they want is the value, who it
cornerstone Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 That is a nightmare. I'm not sure you can really win with customs in any country, don't know anyway about Sweden obviously. [Joking] Perhaps you could get it mixed up with something else you bought in China recently [/Joking] Otherwise if it doesn't actually make it through customs, perhaps that depends on the arrangement with the dealer. Perhaps this kind of counts as it not making it through. I don't know what Ruby's deal is. Commiserations anyway.
LeGambleur Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Posted March 8, 2007 Ruby sent me an email telling me she would look it up with the shipping company. Just wait and see i guess.
LeGambleur Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Posted March 15, 2007 I sent a letter to the posst office explaining what it was (well... sort of... ) and today i got it delivered to my door. The delivery girl even woke me up. It was a 036 from Ruby. Excellent watch with the thick crown and no recessed pin issue. The only thing i can complain about is the non existing lume on the dial, hands glow like a torch though. The question is: who do i turn to in Europe for a relume? Will be back with a photo review later this evening or this weekend depending on work load. Happy days!
rsv123 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 Good to hear a happy ending - Mark (finepics) does an excellent relume and he is based in the UK.
z3k0 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 I've been in the same situation 2 weeks ago (Angus BCE and PAM) and paypal bill worked. I'd pay around $150 (custom duty and VAT) and I was happy because I get my watches.... @kiki_hr What shipping company was it ? BTW, FedEx just informed me that they lost track of my package (my new 111h from king) It departed from paris 7 days ago, but never arrived here ... bye, Ivan
truzement Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 today i got it delivered to my door you are one lucky viking!! Since I lost a watch from a trade in Dutch customs, I dont have the guts anymore to buy watches from outside the EU.

fitmic Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 The delivery girl even woke me up. Was she good looking?
LeGambleur Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Posted March 15, 2007 Ok looking. Not bad, but nothing to tell the grandchildren about in the future. She almost started to laugh since she woke me up and i grabbed my girlfriends silk robe to open the door.
