Dear Arthur, It is true that most of time we get blamed for import duties that are levied by the importing country. As explained on our website, the shipping fees are paid by us but Import duties (if any) are always the responsibility of the buyer. While we regret that you had to pay import duties. Please note that in most cases import duty gets triggered based on value of the item being imported. Some fee is usually charged by all these courier companies for handling the clearance. We have no control over this. In future, we recommend you opt for ‘Royal Mail' as there have been lesser incidences of import duty levies for that shipping option. If you have any query please contact to us on contact@creationwatches.com Best Regards, Sally

I bought a Seiko SNk809K1 and a Seiko box, you have to pay extra to get the box, but they sent me only the empty box. No watch. I have complained and sent them a photo of their dispatch label that proves by the weight that there was no watch in the parcel. So far they are ignoring me because they simply do not value me as a customer, they can afford to do that because they sell so many watches so pray your transaction goes smoothly. 10% of the reviews are 1 star and that's because they do not know what to do when problems arise with an order.

Dear Martin, Our watch shipment policy is currently in line with ground realities. What we mean by that is; the customs of various countries, tend to levy import duties on watch in a box because they assume it is a new expensive watch. If on the other hand, we dispatch watch and box separately, we notice that they usually do not levy any import duty on either consignment. This works out to your benefit. Our whole intention is to bring to you, the top branded watches at factory prices – that has been our motto right from the start. We hope you will continue to patronize us. Best Regards, Sally

I was left with a brand new not working watch to the point I went to the head office. This is the reply I got back We are sorry to learn you feel unhappy. However the warranty clearly outlines coverage is valid only when purchased from an Authorized Retailer of Citizen watches. RSL is not one of our authorized retailers and as such we are unable to offer any warranty coverage for your purchase. Unauthorized resellers obtain their watches from a variety of sources other than Citizen and therefore Citizen cannot guarantee the quality or condition of the product in these transactions. These may be returned watches, personal watches offered for sale or watches obtained on the gray market. Pricing can certainly be very attractive when purchasing through these venues and typically resellers do not disclose the warranty will not be valid. We are aware that some unauthorized resellers offer their own warranties. You may wish to contact the seller in which the watch was purchased to discover if they offer any type of warranty. Should you have any inquiry, please feel free to contact us. We would be most pleased to serve you. Yours sincerely, Customer Service Citizen Watch Co., Ltd.

I was given the impression the company was in Europe but the watch was shipped to me from Singapore. That meant I had to pay a extra 70USD to Swedish customs.There was no informatiom regarding this when i bought the watch so the purchase became alot more expensive than it looked on their webpage. The watch also has Arabic letters so I can't read what month it is. That is not how it looked in the pictures. In short, I haven't got the watch that I ordered and the price has become alot more expensive. That is not ok.

Watch arrived one day ahead of schedule and in perfect condition. Can't fault watch, price, service or delivery. An excellent all round experience. One think to remember and it is stated in delivery information is that the import duty is not included in the website price and will be payable as an extra. In my case DHL contacted me for the payment of the import duty.

Would rate it minus 5 star.. Totally fraud company which is stealing customers money. I've ordered a watch in August LAST year.. order #10245143 with tracking RT162877759SG. Sing Post confirmed it as lost or damaged. Ok. But since than No package, no refund, even no more replies to my e-mails. Amazing story. Creation watches, the Sing Post has refund you on 14th of August. Why don't you refund me after more then year of wait?! Next time I'm in Singapore, going to kick your asses.. We russians are quite touchy. Guys, NEVER deal with this frauds unless you're fine with have your money stolen like this.

I ordered my Seiko watch online at 9-10pm on 18 October and it was delivered to my home in Berkshire in the UK at 11 am on 22 October (one day earlier than estimated). I tracked it online from Singapore to Frankfurt then to Leipzig then to London Heathrow then to Reading Berkshire and finally to my home after which I receved a polite email from Creation Watches thanking me for my custom. The price I paid was £84 to Creation plus £27 to DHL to cover import duty, VAT etc. making a total of £111. The cheapest price I could find for in the UK was £131. That's what you call first class service.

While we regret that you had to pay import duties, please understand that we have no control over this.

P.S. In future, we recommend you opt for 'Royal Mail' shipping as there have been lesser incidences of import duty levies for that shipping option but we will not be able to send original box via that method (so as to avoid custom levies). Original boxes can be sent if you select 'DHL' but will attract import duty.

These people will rob, cheat and lie. They sent me a broken watch, no warranty and after i sent it back for repairs it disappears into the black hole of the Creationwatches service department. 15 weeks and counting. Don't bother with this company, you are better off buying watches over the counter.

Same problem import duty levied on my watch of extra £40.00 NOT GOOD! At this stage of the process it’s to late to do anything about it. I think you need to be clearer in explaining how extra costs could be incurred it’s not enough to say we can’t do anything about it you need to point customers to Royal Mail if their import duties are less than dhl At the end of the day you are up against amazon on price and service this lack of clarity spoils the whole experience.
