AMK000 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 if i refuse to pay 100 euros minimum to release the packet,the law says that they can not send it back and they will destroy it.... If you have experience a situation like this please give me some tips!!! Is that the law in Greece (patrida) ??? My opinion: 1) First say to TNT that you will do as the law says and ask them to put their 1st option in writting. 2) If you are not willing to pay 100 USD to customs (which I wouldnt either) and they are going to destroy the watch , tell them that they can destroy the package but since is a gift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have experience a situation like this please give me some tips!!! I think u better tell them it is a gift from ur friends in HK, and tell them you will get the reciept for that gift from your friend as well. Go back to talk to ur dealer, ask for a fake receipt( they all have that kinda reciepts) stating somthing like 300dollars, ur dealer either can scan it for you or send it to u. Then all u have to do is show ur reciept to the custom, they will charge certain amount of money based on ur reciept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Wow... 130 euro to release your parcel... That, my friend, is extortion! I'm assuming customs already knows what's inside the package? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdavis Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Don't do anything until you have talked with your dealer about the situation. They encounter these difficulties with Customs all the time and handling them is routine for them. Most likely your dealer will send you another watch and tell you to deny any knowledge of the package and let them do as they will with it.

jani001 Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Just deny. They have to prove that YOU have ordered the package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pv007 Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Good luck anyway. And please next time don't order from the same address and the same you are recorded as well as the address of the sender. So if any of this point (names, addresses) come again the parcel will be blocked... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nxuan Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Glad to hear a happy ending. I'm sure she will like it. The actual watch looks much nicer than in picture. I happened to pick the very same model for my lady last Saturday. It is really stunning watch with only one exception that is the date window.

Pre V Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Glad to hear of the happy ending my friend! That "plastic watch" part is really amusing! 130 Euros is totally outrageous. Enjoy that J12! Looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
