Hi guys! As in most situations, the grass seems greener on the other side. In my case, I tend to see watches in US that are better priced than in my home country. I'm a little on the fence as buying such a means paying an added ~30% in taxes when having it delivered to my country. However, if there's a nice guy from here who's traveling in the near future from US to EU and is willing to take the package with him, that would help me a lot. To which EU country you're traveling is of lesser importance as long as it's within EU as I can send a courier to pick the package up. If there's such a member and you're willing to help. please send me a message.
Once i bought a used paraglider in South Africa, then i realised what the shipping would cost.. So i asked the guy to try to get it to Europe by the next trip. He asked his friend and so on.. The package was on its way for about a month, and traveled through 3 continents and 5 counties. Most of the involved people were complete strangers. And i didnt have the chance to track it. In the end it all worked fine and i didnt have to pay a Cent. Not sure if i would ever do this again, but its nice to know that there are a lot of good and honest people out there!
Guys, so far I have 3 colleagues who pm-ed me and are willing to help me out. And this is a very thread with a very low number of views, so you got to love the great community that is here!
Great to hear! Just out of interest, did you also have some stuff brought over and how was the experience/result? I did the same thing but myself and overly enjoy(ed) the TinTin i now have
Not yet as it seems this process for me is like trying to have sex as a teenager - when you have a partner, you don't have a place. And when you have a place, you don't have a partner . In my case, the watch that I was eyeing is no longer for sale, but just give me a little time .
