welcome,
Customs is a *****, comparing to other countries, i had two watches destroyed by them but i did not stop me from ordering from China.
You can always look for dealers in EU (UK for example).

Welkom Bob,

Customs can be a pain here.... but so far I've been lucky. If you want to be safe, look at Narikaa, Toro Bravo or Precious Time, they are all inside the EU and have a spot here on the forum.

There is a Dutch dealer at RWG, but since he is not sanctioned here, I wont give further details.

You pay extra with these dealers, but don't forget, they take all customs risk and you are sure they deliver!

Cheers/groetjes

hey welkom Bob, another dutchy joins the forum.
Customs can be very problematic, allthough I'm still lucky with 30+ reps....just give a shout if you need help

Hello Bob from Canada !!

Hey Bob,

I have had two watches destroyed by customs... To avoid this, you can order from the UK, as said. Or if you have friends in the US (or another country...), you can have the Chinese dealers ship the watches overthere and have you friend or relative forward the package.

Anyway, have fun here and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

grt,

Dimer

So till now i only hear horror stories about the Netherlands and customs
and then we have capice with 30+ reps shipped to the Netherlands.

What is better to do airmail or ems or other couriers?

In total I have ordered and received over 15 watches and 'only' two got caught and they where in the same package

It is hit and miss... but make sure you use a dealer that sends you a new watch when it gets seized!!

Hey Bob, welkom vanuit België! (welcome from Belgium)

If you want to be sure about the customs, take a european dealer... The Belgian customs are even worse compared to those from the Netherlands, so I didn't took any risk since I knew that the fines can go from 500-5000 euros...

Have fun!
groetjes

[Silverspeed]

Welcome Bob, customs can be a real pain like said before, lucky for us there are quite a few dealers that can ship from the EU

Welcom Bob, stay here for a long time.

[capice]

got another 005 today for Dimer...again without trouble...

[bigmouth]

Since when are the Dutch customs so hard? I have received about 15 watches from China the last 2 years, most of them were sent by EMS.

This year I just bought 1 watch so far and it was from PT. Not because of his european status but because I hate the dropshipping out of China from most other dealers.

So is it since this year that Dutch customs are a pain in the ... ?
