So many packages go missing at the Heathrow hub. 😲


In watch circles it's called "The Black Hole"!

Ok we know it’s from chronoexpert if it’s coming from Bilbao but they have too much inventory to even venture a guess

You better hope its not as painful as the watch I've been waiting on for nearly 5 weeks!!!!

I was in such a hurry to pay for it I also accidently sent it to my friend in the US, so once he gets it I will have to have it sent to me.

I had a friend who was flying with a $10k 3-D camera Heathrow-Brussels-Harare-Kinshasa. It was stolen at Heathrow

Be prepared to pay more than just the GST. I brought in a watch through DHL to Sydney last year and they also charged for a Customs assessment and for 'import duty'. All up it added $230 to a watch I paid $1100 for. Not happy. I did not mind paying the GST but the rest felt like opportunistic theft.

I’ve just ordered a strap from the states in round figures it cost me £20 for the strap £9 shipping £5 VAT and £8 customs charges. I keep saying I won’t buy from the States again but keep getting caught out.
I hope we get a trade agreement with them.

Frankly I don’t know if I would wear anything of value on my wrist in London. There is a disproportionate number of stolen watches there

You’ll be pleased to know I’ve designed a rebus puzzle in @Canuck ’s honour. I’ll post it when I actually have the watch in my hot little hands

Waiting is the worst part. I always pay for next day shipping when possible. Latest is 2-3 days.
