Just order from one of the trusted dealers who will assume the customs risk.

Easy on him guys...
There is no reason why he should use Precious Time instead of any other dealer, because there usually is no problem with the French customs if you stick with air mail and one watch per shipment. Don't get me wrong, precious time is a very good dealer, but as good as any other dealer. From my point of view, if the dealer had shipements seized recently and continued to ship using the same patern, then he should take the responsability for the seizure and offer to send a new watch. If it's just bad luck, then it should be on the buyer, but the seller can still agree to make a gesture. Renesis, you should try to contact Trevor and try so sort something out with him (keep us in touch).

All apologies for this critical PTime.
But the DSSD sold by PTime is $ 468 while Trevors proposes $ 260! This is because of my criticism. There's a post of top models DSSD and the conclusion is that one of the best is Trevors's DSSD So I don't think the $ 200 difference is justified by the quality and I don't think there is $ 200 more to make his model. But it's only MY opinion ! But, I'm sure that Ptime assume his premium price and all his customers are happy to deal with him, this is not the problèm. And, if I don't found an alternative, next time maybe I will make a deal with him I'm very sorry PreciousTime, excuse me |

Here is your 260 USD watch http://www.trustywatchguy.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_8&product s_id=3612 and here is the 460 USD watch http://www.trustywatchguy.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_8&product s_id=5990 and take in consideration that PT's pricing will include shipping, when you order from Trusty you pay 45 USD on top.  You need to compare apples with apples No dealer can take this kind of profit, he will be out of business in one week

'I'm really sorry. i once had a watch stuck in customs for 2 weeks. I know your pain. Mine was released in one piece though.
PT might have a premium price, though, super fast shipping and not too many custom worries = excceptable!

PT is located in UK, which hasn't signed the schengen agreement, therefore anything coming from the UK to another country of the schengen area has to go through customs, like it was coming from any other part of the world. Members of the Schengen Area: Austria Belgium Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Iceland Italy Latvia Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Norway Poland Portugal Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland

"wizardtiti" in general your right, but some Shengen countries seems to let items from UK pass right thru.
From my own experience purchasing items from outside Shengen and to Denmark I can tell that anything from Asia gets pickup 90% of the time but if items from China is being shipped with "DHL" there's a very high chance it passes thru. 95% of items from the USA gets pickup but the way and as mentioned from the UK 100% passes thru.
