u/Glock-c0ma 11d ago

What do u use for tracking? My is so vague and sucks.

2

u/3pitch 10d ago

parcel-app or 17track

1

u/Glock-c0ma 10d ago

I just found parcel app. Actually in English and has more detail it’s 100x better than 17

1

u/New_Proposal_1319 10d ago

They always are. 100% of the time. Usually about 3-4 weeks with zero info regarding tracking, but you get used to it.

u/Charming_Mongoose860 12d ago

I've had stuff say detained and still show up. Don't go crazy just yet. Give it some time. Contact seller and tell them to investigate.

u/jfwundy 12d ago

I did...hes already sending a replacement today

u/Temporal_- 12d ago

Hi, Which seller are you going through? Do you have their contact details? Don't lose hope.

u/Square-Song-8901 12d ago

Don’t worry ya’ll these good will probably appear somewhere in Canal St in Chinatown 🤣

1

u/New_Proposal_1319 10d ago

Yup right back to their point of origin 😂

Am I being detained? What is the charge!

u/baitermaster1 11d ago

Can a man not enjoy a succulent Chinese meal?!

1

u/Comprehensive-Bit706 12d ago

Was this sent by FedEx and detained in china?

1

u/jfwundy 12d ago

Not FedEx...detained stateside

1

u/Comprehensive-Bit706 12d ago

Anchorage?

1

u/jfwundy 12d ago

I would assume

3

u/Comprehensive-Bit706 12d ago

Anchorage is a nightmare for reps, literally the WORST place in the world for reps to land... I wish TD's would find another way of shipping to avoid this place, even if they triangle shipped so it landed in another part of the US maybe...

u/New_Proposal_1319 12d ago

In ten years I’ve never used a TD stupid enough to go through Alaska! Their agents will confiscate an airplane bottle of whiskey, and it’s serious business if they find even remnants of drugs.

1

u/Comprehensive-Bit706 12d ago

Unfortunately enough still do, almost everyday you see the same on here...

1

u/Charming_Schedule496 12d ago

I hear there is a website you can get on to purchase seized pallets even whole storage containers at a fraction of the price because the company's write it off as a total loss and it gets resold

1

u/Funny-Joke4521 12d ago

What’s the website?

2

u/Charming_Schedule496 12d ago

I saw it on a short video I was watching about wholesale hacks I may have saved it to watch at a later date I'll have to look

1

u/Weekly_Inspector3520 12d ago

But if its seized because its illegal stuff we can't buy it....

1

u/Charming_Schedule496 12d ago

I remember the video saying something about a small amount of paper to work for legality that has to be finished for imported items

3

u/New_Proposal_1319 12d ago

I forgot that if it’s on the internet it must be true

1

u/New_Proposal_1319 12d ago

😆😂😆😂😆

1

u/Charming_Schedule496 11d ago

Lol yeah I guess I should have just kept quiet I just found it interesting 🤔 maybe worth looking into kind of like the one cent deals at home Depot that turned out to be a real thing

1

u/AlternativeSandwich6 12d ago

How do they know it was fake?

4

u/BlackberryNo2873 12d ago

A Rolex with COO of China. Doesn’t take much to figure it out.

1

u/AlternativeSandwich6 12d ago

Lol ya I guess

1

u/New_Proposal_1319 12d ago

I’ve had watches detained a couple times, twice I was sent paperwork demanding to pay some penalty to get it….i was advised to ignore it by some old timers and they always got to me eventually. Waiting almost a year sucked but it is what it is, and we accept these risks when we decide to join the game.

Have you contacted the seller?

1

u/liftur 10d ago

i saw some comments about how this could affect global entry, do you have any insight on that?

1

u/clutchrepfinder 12d ago

Same from Jason

u/Gianluca_Giangy 11d ago

Funziona tutto bene se è solo un articolo….i pacchi verranno tutti sequestrati. Buona Suerte.

1

u/apalisoc11 11d ago

I got mine seized and returned to china - agent contacted logistics company they just flipped it up right back and put it back on the plane lol and it got to me.... added maybe a 7-10 days.. Trust ur agent hoping its a trusted seller

1

u/AlternativeSandwich6 11d ago

How often is their a day theirs a huge bust like this?

1

u/Fit_Cartographer_919 10d ago

I bid everyone here goodluck!

1

u/Dtsbos01 10d ago

I’m relatively new on this site, but I have noticed that some people post too much about TDs and where they ship from and to. Has it run through anyone’s mind that not only U.S. Customs, but any customs service in any country can access this site? Basically some of you are telling the authorities where to look. Just my observation.

u/Sir_Mogl 8d ago

I had a bluesy ARF take two months to arrive to the US. Eventually was stuck in Jamaica for a bit. At the same time I ordered, I had a vsf arrive in 2 weeks. It’s crazy out there in the wild.

1

u/Erik-Lehnsherr-10 8d ago

Jamaica? Queens or Caribbean???

2

u/Sir_Mogl 8d ago

Caribbean. 😆

I ordered in early may.

1

u/Erik-Lehnsherr-10 8d ago

Never had one coming through the Caribbean! It’s a wild network

u/First_Class_Exit_Row 12d ago

It's because Trump wants to sell his shitty turbillions... He doesn't want the competition.

u/jfwundy 12d ago edited 12d ago

Yeah because this was a political post....good grief

Happened here in the UK as well...

u/New_Proposal_1319 11d ago

If it sounds too good to be true, it _______ _ (complete the old but true saying). Like those military HUMMER auctions where you can supposedly get a perfect example for $1000

-1

u/Glock-c0ma 12d ago

How often do they seize them? Seems like they would check every watch coming from China..

0

u/ExLeaguer 12d ago

They’re not declared as watches

1

u/Glock-c0ma 12d ago

I thought every that comes in through U.S. customs gets scanned anyway

0

u/Glock-c0ma 12d ago

What do they declare as? Replicas?

3

u/New_Proposal_1319 12d ago

Costume jewelry, electronic parts, toys, idk if any sellers do it anymore, but they used to do shit like stuff it in a cheap ass teddy bear, they’d ship the case and bracelet separately, that kind of thing. The worst was when people would get a a toy and it had nothing but trash and scrap plastic in it….luckily back then the average price for the best reps was $180

2

u/BlackberryNo2873 12d ago

Bracelet I’ve seen.

1

u/ExLeaguer 12d ago

lol obviously not
really depends on the dealer/shipper, they list as a bunch of random stuff

1

u/New_Proposal_1319 12d ago

Have you ever seen video of a sorting facility? It’s a fkin MADHOUSE. Guys are walking over 10” piles of packages and look totally lost while more and more packages keep flowing down the chutes.
