·One of two ways you'll get billed. 1. Pay before FedEx continues its movement within their system, or 2. You'll get billed after delivery.
It seems to be moving (the huge red exclamation point on the FedEx app disappeared and the app is showing green colors... and of course Green means Go) so I am guessing a bill is forthcoming.
Any chance that the manufacturer eats the cost (doubting it but just spitballing here) since they were CC'd on all this as well?

·It’s gonna cost what it costs to whomever gets the bill. Dan had a thread on this not long ago. It’s one of those suck it up and bend over- they may use lube, maybe not

I'm married, accustomed to bending over often.
What's lube?

·I have a watch I accidentally purchased from Columbia.
Last night when I checked the shipment was on hold in panama city.
Now it says it is in Florida.
I have yet to deal with customs as no one in the EU or Australia has bothered to bid on my scraps. When I did send over seas I was in the Silicon Valley and most people were sending packages international. Here in town the post office is next to a National Park (well a national monument run by the park service.) Come to think of it I have exported pipe organ parts intentionally, with out issue.
Of course everything I do is of low value.

·What I assumed... just very curious how and when I'll know.
Be cool if the FedEx driver took payment via CC but I doubt that.

·Watch has officially touched down in the US of A. Indianapolis to be exact... now just needs to head down to southern NM.
50 dollars this puppy ain't making it in time for Xmas even though they generated the label 10 days ago in Switzerland. Would have been so nice to have it wrapped and under the tree for me to open from The Wife -- even though she doesn't know I bought it as a gift from her to me.
Maybe a New Years gift from her to me?

Touchdown doesn't mean it's cleared. Today is Friday before a national holiday, it will likely sit until next week before being processed and released. After a watch of mine was cleared in March it sat for five days before moving in the FedEx system due to severe traffic overload, was finally delivered seven days after clearance.
Your watch may be a New Years gift! Or you may have your own 'immaculate reception' and get it tomorrow.

·Still stuck in Indianapolis (shoulda kept my mouth shut about the Cyclone Chilly Bomb or whatever it's called in that other thread because I was just served up a nice fresh Eat Shit karma sandwich).
