LeGambleur Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGambleur Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGambleur Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsv123 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Good to hear a happy ending - Mark (finepics) does an excellent relume and he is based in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z3k0 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitmic Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 The delivery girl even woke me up. Was she good looking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGambleur Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
