ThriolithDoes anyone in the US have experience ordering from that supplier? I've heard a lot of horror stories on this site about shipments to Europe getting caught up in customs (extra charges/taxes and delays mostly). Not sure if the same risks apply when ordering from Europe for delivery to the US.
gromwalhGenerally, I've found most things under $100 will pass through customs with no problem, but then again I'm in Canada. Ascendia's tracking is absolutely useless outside of the US, so with Seitz I'm hoping I'll actually be able to track my order.
ThriolithCustoms in Europe (Belgium for myself) are very random, I've been charged €20 for paper from G. Lalo Mode De Paris and €40 for the Pilot Falcon foutain pen while my €200+ watches haven't been taxed at all...
gromwalhI just ordered from them, package arrived yesterday. Prices are great, they shipped promptly and the package was trackable, no customs issues to USA. However, rough handling in transit meant that two bottles arrived broken, one unsalvageable and the other still about half intact, usable when the ink was decanted into another bottle. I don't think the packaging was adequate for the long journey.
