    Has anyone here ever bought from Creation Watches? Seem to have some good deals but not sure where they ship from?

    Yes, we covered it many times before (but I know search sucks). Loads of us have bought from Creation, all good. They ship from the far east. Very likely you will get stung for 23% VAT though (plus admin charge) when the watch comes into Ireland.

    Interested to see how it works out for you.

    Apologies for the late response on this thread if anyone was interested how it went!

    So,I placed an order on a Friday evening,had confirmation order was shipped on the Monday and arrival was Friday,so one weekend turnaround.


    Import duty/tax ammounted to an additional 34% to watch price,but even at that it worked out as a saving over anything else I found.

    No issues using creation watches, so would use again no problem

    There is no import duty on watches coming into Ireland from outside the EU, just 23% VAT. The rest of the charge was a handling / admin charge for custom clearing charged by your shipper

    Only issue with creation watches is if there is an issue with the watch. Rarely happens tbf.


    I got a watch from them that was labelled as $20, and when it arrived it had a load of tape saying Customs holding it together and the postman gave me a letter explaining it had been opened and sealed again. Had 60 seconds thinking the watch had been seized for trying to avoid charges but nothing. I presume they were checking for either drugs, a fake or a really expensive watch taking the piss on charges? No idea.
