daan Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 hello guys, who knows what this means? Fedex tracking system says Status: Int'l shipment release from March 19 till today do they need that long,it is the first time it takes that long should i be worried? thanks daan
watchman12345 Posted March 26, 2007 Report Posted March 26, 2007 hmm that usually means its out of customs. 6 days? long time if its released from customs in your country.
daan Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Posted April 2, 2007 the package(from a wellknown and respected dealer) is still in this status...... what is going on....it's now 2 weeks should i contact them(fedex)...or just wait,my dealer is not answering me emails and pm's HELP ME PLEASE
watchman12345 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 Most definitely contact them. Im almost 100% sure that international shipment release means its through customs. You have nothing to worry about now and can contact them as a disappointed customer not someone afraid to open his mouth!
daan Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Posted April 2, 2007 the tracking system says nothing about going trough customs.... it only says "international shipment release" anyone in the netherlands have the same problem i am scared of all the stories that going around...
daan Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Posted April 2, 2007 well i guess i try to call them tomorrow but i am a bit nervous i will let you guys know what happened thanks
watchman12345 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 My fedex never says anything about customs. intl shipment release followed almost immediately by on fedex vehicle for delivery....
deepsea Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 int'l shipment release means, package is released from customs... it should be on fedex vehicle for delivery after that... if it stucks in customs the label should be "bound into the customs" or something like that. this may mean another problem than customs.
Torques Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 Fedex if full of thieves. I remember once a shipment of 25 laptops in one shipment went missing, 3000.00 a laptop (back when they cost that much), do the math. Taking any package is nothing to them, hope you get what you want though.
daan Posted April 4, 2007 Author Report Posted April 4, 2007 yesterday i called fedex about the package..... i am f**cked..... ,the package has been taken and customs is investigating everything they will contact me when they know more,that is what the fedex lady told me so i have to wait and see what happens,i informed my dealer but he is veeeeeeery slow in replying i ordered 1 watch but the package contains 0,5 kg .....that is very heavy for one watch...
watchman12345 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 Unlucky, and strange. The 0,5 kg is the minimum weight you can declare on fedex i think. Its not the exact weight of the watch! Keep us informed.
daan Posted April 8, 2007 Author Report Posted April 8, 2007 yesterday i received a letter from the customs in which stood that they seized the watch(steelfish)and if i sign this letter i would not be prosecuted. i have already signed the letter my dealer promised he would send a replacement we will wait for what happens next
MAHLER Posted April 8, 2007 Report Posted April 8, 2007 fedex+heavyreplica=DANGEROUS!!! my dealer promised he would send a replacement I am happy to know this news....
t Posted April 8, 2007 Report Posted April 8, 2007 yesterday i received a letter from the customs in which stood that they seized the watch(steelfish)and if i sign this letter i would not be prosecuted. i have already signed the letter my dealer promised he would send a replacement we will wait for what happens next you are now black listed at customs and every fu**ing parcel will open by customs next 5 years
b16a2 Posted April 8, 2007 Report Posted April 8, 2007 Be careful if you wish to receive the replacement form your dealer. Just imagine them finding another replica watch, exactly the same! I don't know anything about prosecutions, but that would make me very wary of re-ordering so soon.
daan Posted April 8, 2007 Author Report Posted April 8, 2007 i know that i will be watched now i am not stupid but at least the dealer is willing to help me as soon as he checks his email he probably contacts me
Torques Posted April 8, 2007 Report Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) What exactly did you agree to by signing your letter? You are in the Netherlands, correct? Edited April 8, 2007 by Torques
daan Posted April 8, 2007 Author Report Posted April 8, 2007 yes,i'm from the netherlands i voluntarly agreed that they confisgated the watch so i would not be procecuted
Torques Posted April 8, 2007 Report Posted April 8, 2007 yes,i'm from the netherlands i voluntarly agreed that they confisgated the watch so i would not be procecuted By signing that, did you admit you were importing couterfeit goods? Did it say you would be prosecuted the next time it happens?
Dutchy Posted April 8, 2007 Report Posted April 8, 2007 Thats basically what it means, just have it sent through nomal air mail or purchase from EU members for the near future.
daan Posted April 8, 2007 Author Report Posted April 8, 2007 everybody on this forum and also my dealer told me to call fedex,so i did. by doing this i admitted i ordered "something" from china there was no way back the letter only talks about this watch not '' a next time" i want to order but i have to watch out carefully next time
Torques Posted April 8, 2007 Report Posted April 8, 2007 everybody on this forum and also my dealer told me to call fedex,so i did. by doing this i admitted i ordered "something" from china there was no way back the letter only talks about this watch not '' a next time" i want to order but i have to watch out carefully next time I hope it works out next time, good luck.
