Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. | Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings. |
Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]
I want to tell you about something that happened me few weeks ago.
I bought a watch and the seller, despite my request to use UPS at my expense, sent it with Registered Mail of the Italian Post.
The envelope, of the declared weight of 135 grams, was empty but not opened before!
I asked a friend of mine, Seiko watch collector who works at the post office near my house, and he told me that someone attacks an additional weight to the envelope masked with scotch packing. After weighing, he return the envelope with an excuse ("I have to put the phone number next to sender") and take the weight off.
Then he returns the empty envelope, that starts with a declared weight consistent with that of the clock which should contain!
Obviously all my respect and my sympathy to the seller, who has lost money and clock, but I wanted to warn you against this kind of scam.
I use and pretend UPS only!
