Fireman_Fred Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I can't speak for eurotimez however, I personally have shipped quite a number of rep watches to the "CONUS" from the UK with absolutely no probs. However, for some reason, there seems to be a reluctance from RWG members in the US to send their watches outside the "CONUS" (much to the annoyance of members of the EU !!). i am a new member here and have been sifting through all this wonderful information since i have joined! this will be my first purchase of a rep and i was wondering what other peoples experiences were ordering from eurotimez to the USA and more specific California? any information that may be useful or relevant, positive or negative, is very much needed. thaanks all!! p.s. i use the search function all the time and do not seem to get anything definitive. maybe i am searching the wrong area of the forum buuut any insight is very helpful to me! thanks!

Guest Carl Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Any shipping method chosen may fail for some reason or another. Collecting an insurance claim is near-impossible in my experience. After years of international shipping, I would say that the most reliable is standard registered mail. It's a little slower than EMS, etc. but it now is all airmail, and it is still the cheapest. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplehd Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Do a search on customs SF and another on customs Lax or simply customs. There were some threads back in the day that going through LAX or SF usually has no issues, but thought I read that there was an issue at one of these sites.

tomhorn Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I placed an order from Chris that is still in transit to Ohio. I paid for the EMS shipping option. Package left CN on 11/11, arrived in customs in Chicago last night (11/13), and was released from customs this morning (11/14). Not sure when it will get to my home, but ET said to expect 5-10 business days for the entire trip. I think I'm in pretty good shape to be at the low end of the range.

kitersoze Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 i'm in SoCal and fortunately had no problems. just a slight hiccup and it was more uncertainty from inexperience rather than an issue to be dealt with... http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=86492 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patinga Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 No problems with Chris shipping to Atlanta. Plus with Chris, if there is a problem, he will take care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notimetowaste Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Dallas customs has been holding my watch for the last 11 days. It was sent by Chris using EMS. It took 6 days to get from Asia to Dallas. So it looks like there is a lot of variation in EMS shipping and where the package hits customs.

tomhorn Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Just as an update, my watch showed up today! Pics will be posted later, but it's an Ebel Discovery Chrono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodoleboy Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 If you're thinking about buying from Chris at Eurotimez, just follow his suggestions. Of the five shipments from Chris, I had only one delayed for more than 3 days. I am in the Dallas area. By the way, buy with confidence from Eurotimez. Chris is the best. You will only get a superior product from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
