G,day my fellow Aussie members,
I'd like to ask how your experiences have been (positive, negative or neutral) and why, in regards to buying from TRF (from O/S sellers), shipping to OZ, insurance and Customs duty.

I am considering various purchase options and wonder if anyone can provide comment on their buying experience(s). TRF appears to be a strong possibility.

Your comments are appreciated by myself and other Aussies! :)

Cheers
Rohan

TRF is defninitely better than ebay

have bought 2 rolexes, 1 tudor, 1 hamilton here and all good

highly recommend to buy here

toph · 7 December 2010, 02:47 PM

I have bought from TRF and WUS. customs and declaration value is something you shoudl discuss with sellers as anything over $985 AUD is charged at 10% GST to import.

P.S Do you work at sydney cove?

dalip · 7 December 2010, 02:50 PM

Completed MANY deals with DavidSW...cannot recommend him enough. Never a problem..always brilliant.

Ro (Sydney) · 7 December 2010, 03:13 PM

Thanks for the input so far guys. It makes me feel confident with TRF to here other Aussies have purchased without any real drama. Toph - Sorry mate, No I don't work at Sydney Cove.

For Vintage is Mr Steven Mulholland - just got an A series 16520.... Almost new! Too bad it looked a little small for me as compared to my carrera, GMTC

Been a great experience for me buying on TRF. Wish you all the best.

johnbeth · 7 December 2010, 10:07 PM

Whis is this in the watchout section???

johnbeth · 7 December 2010, 10:08 PM

Why is this in the watchout section???

There are heaps of TRF sellers that are

No need to be in watchout section IMHO..

Funny, i bought a nice watch from a TRF member who lived in Australia. The transsaction was awesome; shipping from Australia to Canada in 8 days. a new international shipping record in my books. He was a great guy, goes by the name Tomee on this group. Harry in Montreal

Ro (Sydney) · 8 December 2010, 12:42 PM

It's great reading everyone's positive purchases here!

As for why it's in the 'Watchout' section. Im not sure. I posted it in 'General Discussion' but I believe the Administrators moved it to 'Watchout'. However, now it's in 'Who's Who' in the zoo lol. I can't keep track of it :) I want to come back each day to see how everyone has done.

Thanks Aussies & TRFers

Cheers

I shipped a package to Steve (LOL-X) down under and he received it without a problem from here in Dallas, Texas. I think it took about a week to get there and was shipped via US Postal Service insured.

Ezza8 · 12 December 2010, 06:05 AM

I've been thinking of buying from TRF too. Bit nervous about the extra 10% customs tax/GST. Wondering if any fellow Aussies have been stung, and how likely it's going to happen. Cheers

blackmsport · 12 December 2010, 07:02 AM

bought 6 watches frome here and timezone.... all good .....never had any issues with customs.....

Ro (Sydney) · 13 December 2010, 04:23 PM

That's good to know blackmsport, Cheers!

limenko · 13 December 2010, 04:29 PM

I bought 2 watches from overseas and no issues....but just to be safe you should check with the seller about how they declare value and whether they have insurance.

Btw DavidSW is awesome I agree with Dalip!

Ro (Sydney) · 15 December 2010, 04:06 PM

Cheers Limenko. Thanks for the tip and referral.
