I had an email from the folk at Bradley saying they may have sent two watches to some people by mistake and if you were prepared to pay any import duty you could keep them both. The first watch came, I think, from America and had no import duty involved. The second came from Hong Kong, and I received a demand from Fedex a week later for £46 import duty and charges. I had already donated the second watch to someone so no longer had it. What annoyed me most was that Fedex must have paid the duty and then demanded it back after the fact. I had no indication when Fedex delivered the watch that duty had been charged, and had no option but to pay it. Fedex did not have my permission to pay any import duty on my behalf, and had I known it would be charged, I would have refused the delivery and had it returned to the company. The way I looked at it in the end was, I thought I was getting something for nothing. Well, I didn't!! Enjoy the watch, by the way, it took a bit of getting used to, but works well.
