Hallo from Hamburg, Germany

[MHMH]

Hallo everybody, I just came over from the old spot.

Great forum!! I have read and learned a lot (hopefully enough) and I´m now up to place my first order with one of the reputated dealers.

To the german guys: anybody who had problems with german customs? How are chances that the delivery is getting confiscated?

Thanks and Greatings

Greetings M! The board has a number of German members -- including, if I am not mistaken, admin, our Admin, and Thor, one of the Moderators. Although I live in the US (born in Germany but spent almost my entire life in the US), I do not recall any threads or posts that talk about customs problems in Germany.

As you get ready to place your first order, I suggest you ask your potential dealers how the handle potential customs confiscations.

Some dealers replace confiscated watches, others do not. Quite honestly it depends in part on their pricing.

A dealer who offers extremely low prices may place the risk on the buyer.

A higher priced dealer may consider the risk one of his costs of doing busiiness.

All of the dealers I have dealt with are fairly upfront about their policies.
