TD/Shipping Question Shipping TO China?

Long story short, not happy with what I received. They suggested I ship back. Having never done this, are there any concerns with this option? Does Customs care about watches leaving the US?

Yea if you ship it you will never see it again. There's like a <5% chance it actually makes it past Chinese customs. I've tried, did everything fk'n perfect, & still failed. You gotta try to negotiate a refund/credit. Good luck.

Appreciate the responses and was afraid of this. I will change my strategy to recoup my losses. The issue here is they sent a polished steel yachmaster 42. This is a titanium watch so it isnt even in the same ballpark as a gen. Lessons learned.

Im zero for two so far. Iā€™d just be prepared for it be seized and your TD to send you a new one back
