klocklind1 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Has anyone here ordered watches from US to EU recently ? Have You had any problems with the customs?

Flashman Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I've bought two watches from the US and had no problems at all with them arriving. Took about a week and no customs issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klocklind1 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Thanks all for Your answers! The "case" is this: I have ordered the WM9 LV sub from BK and he recommended that have the text "watch spare parts, value 100$" and that it is a GIFT on the package !. If the postage to ship is 25$ then it would be kind of strange to say that the value is about the SAME amount, so perhaps the risk of the customs will be intrested in the package will be less when have the value 100$ than about 25$ ???? What do You think ? He says he have almost never had any problems with watches shipped to EU! Last time I ordered from china with EMS then I had to pay almost the same amount in tax and toll fees as the value on the package !!!!!! What do You think is the best way of sending a watch from the US ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
