I ordered a watch I've fancied for a while, from Undone's website. It cost about £200. Does anyone know the estimated UK import tax/processing charge levied by DHL on a watch of this value? (it's the first time I'm ordering something from overseas)

Great, thanks. That's not too bad.Originally Posted by Wallasey Runner
I like a lot of Undone Watches, including this one. Just wish they didn't have Undone written on them!!!
I paid about £15 on a £290 watch. Took about 2 weeks to arrive but that was pre-pandemic.
Was that correctly declared by the seller. Gnomon in Singapore for example are famous for putting really low values on everything.
One advantage of turning 50 - you can’t read small annoying text on watch dials (you can’t read the date either and suddenly realise why some watches come with a cyclops!)

Can't remember but I expect you're right with a low value declaration.
Probably this. I had a Rolex I bought from the USA declared at $99. If only!
I'd buy quite a few of their watches and have had several in my basket over recent months. I've owned one and thought it was quite good and the branding was totally unobtrusive.
Bit risky were it to go missing.
Similarly I bought a Speedmaster from a TZ member in the US, can't remember his name but he was a prominent member who seems to have disappeared. He wrapped it in a plastic bag inside a Jiffy bag and declared $10 value. He said he'd cover the loss if it went missing.
For the seller certainly. I’d bought via Chrono24 so was pretty well covered.
That looks really nice. If the whim proves to be short-lived let me know!I ordered a watch I've fancied for a while, from Undone's website. It cost about £200.

I really liked the one I had. And from memory, the customs charges were very reasonable.

I was thinking the same.
Will be interested to hear what it's like when it arrives (or from existing owners?).

Remember when they were sponsoring Archie Luxury🤣🤣
I received the watch today via UPS. To my surprise it shipped from HK and marked as a gift with no customs declaration sticker/price on the parcel. It was completely sealed from sender. The UPS man just handed me the parcel & left.
Do UPS send an invoice to me later, or has this slipped through the customs VAT/processing fee crack?
I think it has slipped through purely on the fact that I had to pay before delivery.
There is one big parcel carrier who always sends invoice later, can’t remember which but could be UPS.
I’ve the watch linked in the OP, from memory I bought it through the first batch on the Kickstarter campaign. Really like think it’s great value for money.
You do realise it is pronounced ‘oon-don-ay’.
How embarrassing for you if you have been saying it otherwise!
