I've used it and have had both positive and negative experiences with them. To be honest its a gamble to use their site. The best thing to do is Google the company that you are thinking of buying your watch of along with the word scam. If there are lots of results talking about how disastrous they are. Steer clear. But there are also good shops in madeinchina website. Try DHgate again a bit dodgy but they have a feedback system in operation similar to Ebay.

Can someone explain to me this freeshipping products? They send them for free or what? Do I have to pay DHL or something similar?

Talking about the Irish Customs. I received a letter today telling me that the revenue commision are going to hold my dm 500s in Dublin for two weeks and unless I pay the customs duties on it they will resend it to China. Its stupid really that they charge a ?6 fee and 21% of ?50 which is about ?16 in total instead of looking at the rich and tracking down thousands in foreign back accounts.

Slightly differant with 'personal' things, watches, phones, cameras* etc, but car stuff
we use these China Clones to cause damage to customers cars, which we charge VAT on, so if people don't import stuff to cause damage, how does that work!

*Unless your are a photographer for a living - same argument

where did ya get the box for 50 euro sob ive been charged 18.13 for mine

it states on the letter that if its over 22 euro in value and bought from outside the EU your liable to pay

so what ive learned from this is your better of just buying the box from uk or ebay ya pay a bit more but its here three times quicker

bought one for the sister on ebay for 89 euro from a guy in ireland and had it in 3 days
he must of made peanuts on the box
or has an ass load of them and is making a tenner of each one after ebay and paypal fees

[alladdin]

on that subject, im sure i also want a dreambox .............. if ever i get enough time to work out exactly what they do..............

Well I got an email from the cusoms today and they said they are going to charge me ?16.52. Which I suppose is still not that bad I guess. What is the story on Irish Customs do they tax every single item that you buy from outside UK over the value of ?22 or was I just unlucky this time?

OFF TOPIC:-

My thick mate deported a VW from Austrailera, got it off Ebay - something
happened and customs charged him more vat than should have - despite the fact he still had ebay details!

EVEN MORE OFF TOPIC:-

When he got the van back - apart from a bit of rust here and there - perfect condition as described on Ebay - but one would guess Customs?
somebody cut the exhaust off and open - never found the missing bit!
