thai thai Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Last Time I ordered a book from Amazon (about 9 years ago), it was intercepted by Thai Customs, and the additional fee(s) came to 120% of the value of the book I ordered...BASTARDS! It came via Fed Ex (also BASTARDS), but I have heard of some who have had periodic success using just the regular post. My desire is to have a watch sent to me (in a small package via post/EMS) from abroad. Is this a good idea, or is it a roll of the dice, or am I just plain destined to be screwed again by the wonderful local authority...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsite12 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Get them to send it marked 'FOR REPAIR... TO BE RETURNED' and of course a return address for credibility purposes. You will be amazed at the amount of things i got through duty free, by using this tactic. If the watch is battery powered, get them to turn the battery upside down to disable it, if it is hand-wound it will probably be run .down by the time it gets here.
