Re: US Customs Help

Personally, I view imports as non returnable. In the UK we get 20% sales tax. I expect if you return a watch you could claim it back, but in practice unless there's a quality issue, I wouldn't try to return a watch internationally. I would just accept I made a wrong choice and live with it. Within ...

Re: Next Sale

Does anyone know if the C60 Trident Elite 1000 (the LE of 300) uses the same lume as the current C60 Elite 1000? CW took down the Trident Elite page so I can't look through it's specs. The CW archive is your friend. Here is the link to the elite 1000 LE’s page: https://cwarchive.knack.com/cwarchive...

Re: US Customs Help

^^^^I won't argue the point that I got off cheap on the duty. I was expecting to pay more, but certainly didn't have any reason to question the amount. I will try to do some more research on this. It is always a point of confusion here on the forum. DHL, acting as the customs broker, collects the d...

Re: US Customs Help

Looks like i owe almost $100 in customs for one of the watches i picked up during the sale. I was wondering if i decide to return the watch to CW (as i was already worried about the larger size) would I get a refund on the customs charges or am i just out the $100? Customs charges are the responsib...

Re: US Customs Help

Mine is $96.09 on an approximately $1300 watch. The breakdown is: Import/Export Duties (L1) - $44.09 Adnance Payment (L2) - $17 Single Clearance (L3) - $35 Which all adds up to a total of $96.09. CW is the only manufacturer where i get hit with customs and its because they use DHL for some reason. A...

Re: Next Sale

I know people in here talk a lot about scalpers and resellers buying out stock during these sales but . . . .how or why? Looking at watchrecon for prices, if anything you may break even if you list the CW sales watches on the forums. I haven't checked Ebay but even if you get a little more there, af...

Re: Next Sale

I'm in the US too. Received tracking info for my 2nd order but nothing on my 1st one. That worries me a bit as the 1st order was the Trident Elite 1000 LE. Hopefullly it's just a delay and not a case where they messed up their inventory counts.

Re: Next Sale

Posted this in the other thread about what i grabbed: I managed to pick a few up. I was quick on the draw to grab the C60 Trident Elite 1000 in blue on bracelet. I figured that one was going to sell out quick. I then got worried about the 42mm size perhaps being too big for me so I hedged my bets an...

Re: Lets play guess the date

I figure worst case I can send one back. Although return shipping to the UK will suck for me. If you decide to return one CW covers the return shipping cost and even arranges for its pickup. :thumbup: In the past they would reimburse for return shipping. That was when Vera was still around. I'm not...

Re: Daily specials to beat the sales peaks!

I wonder if people really want the watches or it's the 50% frenzy that gets everyone? If they put the 2 NN watches in 50% would they sell out immediately.
