I purchased a watch about 10 days ago and it shipped EMS. 24 hours after I placed the order the watch was in NY. It's been 9 days since and EMS tracking says the last place it was seen was customs. Very frustrating.

I'm also waiting for a watch that is coming through EMS that has been since April 25 on ISC New York.馃槨 Have yours clear customs already?

Really. You should probably call. I have bought from there. It arrives to my door in roughly 4 days or so.

Nope. I was told it could be there for upwards of 90 days. I wouldn't be so bothered but it was actually for my wife who got a promotion and now its gonna be so late it doesnt even seem like a gift anymore. I guess they are just backed up.

Not me . Tracking says it went in and never came out Haha. If you dont mind me asking a few questions shoot me a DM. I'm curious on what kind of watch you got and possible value declaration that might be involved.

There is a very simple answer to the original question posted by the OP. It is routed on Japanese culture and religion, according to which, items pick up certain features from, their owners and sort pick up parts of their owner's souls. As a result, Japanese people do not like buying used pianos, watches, etc. As simple as that.

Finally left customs. Exactly 3 weeks which isn't terrible. It's the uncertainty that annoys me

Co-signed on the no bargaining. I picked up a very excellent Dynamic I blue bullseye but the seller wouldn't budge an inch despite me watching the thing go unsold for 2 months.
Hey may I ask roughly what you paid. I鈥檓 looking at a dynamic one bullseye right now.
