Today's bargain watch that I'm not buying

the goon · 28-11-2014 10:19am

Unfortunately it looks like that deal is only in the States. Showing up as €115 when I pick location as Europe. (T.T) Is there anyway around this?

What did you get?

DW-D5500MR-4JF. Wanted another square type face but with a negative display to see what they're like in the flesh. Just waiting for it to wing it's way from Japan.

That's annoying! Last year I got my Pebble in the Black Friday specials, straight from the states, they made no distinction in price then - I'd hope though that if they are doing a "Europe" edition, you'd then at least not be liable for Custom duty etc?

Bought that from Amazon during the summer and sent it back straight away as I found it was actually smaller then I expected so went for the GW7900 which I'm very happy with.

I picked one up a couple of months ago to use as an everyday beater. I'm happy enough with the size tbh.

It's free postage to the UK though, so it's just the cost of using Parcel Motel

Incoming skyfall.

I would recommend checking them out in a jewellers like H Samuals before ordering the G Shocks online. I'm sorry I didn't as it cost me money sending it back to Amazon.

Have to admit, I don't understand that Parcel Motel yoke ... is that a sneaky way around getting stung for customs duties too (out of theoretical, ecumenical, interests only of course)?

No unfortunately.

It just gives you a UK address, so you can either make use of free shipping to UK addresses, or shipping only to UK addresses. It costs about 4 quid a package, but it still often pays for itself given the crazy prices some companies charge for postage to Ireland. They will not pay any customs fees that are due. It's especially handy on TZ-UK where so many sellers will only post to the UK.

It's mainly intended as a service for people getting deliveries who live at an address where there wouldn't be anyone at home when a courier might be delivering. The parcel's put in a locker and you can collect it with a PIN anytime, 24/7.

But because they have a Northern Ireland depot, they can give you a UK address for vendors to send packages to. As Eoin said, very handy with people who won't ship to the Republic of Ireland, especially on Amazon. I believe they were completely swamped in the run up to Xmas . . .

Lovely - Thats the one I love - Not mad about the other skyfall watch where the "007" is in place of the number 7.

No worries and well wear with it - strangely enough I remember you posted about this 3 months ago when buying a pandora charm and had been meaning to ask you where it was!

When you get yours could you pm me place and price? (If you don't mind)

Looking forward to seeing it.

Thanks,

Ryan

Well I have bought second hand (card is stamped October 2014) but will post all the details when i have it in my paws!

will have to make a decision on my Railmaster I think though.

Mahatma Geansai · 19-01-2015 7:16pm

I have a discount code from firstclasswatches.co.uk for this blue Victorinox Inox that will expire today/tomorrow. Although its a fantastic looking watch and I got a good deal, I have decided against the purchase.

The watch is currently selling for £329 (£296 with 10% discount during January), but the code will get you the watch for £275. I assume that you'll be able to get a similar deal if you make on offer, but I said I'd put this up so the offer doesn't go to waste.

PM me if your interested, and I'll forward on the code.

Still waiting for my incoming.......really hope I don't get a cement block in a box. I have a nagging feeling of impending doom.

Wibbs · 20-01-2015 1:14am

Oh I hear that 89, though in my case it's a worry over the postal service, not the sender. I'm fidgeting away a kilo a day as we speak and being a scrawny feck I can't afford to. *Thinks of a new diet plan for WIS types...*
