    I've bought a few things (watches) from Ferrari Store on line, never a problem

    I've ordered another watch, and now I'm getting calls from Fed Ex, wanting to know the value of the PARTS of the watch ( 2 calls so far). Its being held up by customs. I've contacted "customer care" with Ferrari Store, to which I have received no responses. Apparently, customs wants to know this info. Why? who knows? For me to pay tax on the item? I should have told them the parts are worth $1 USD each, for a total of $3USD.
    I'm really glad I paid for "expedited" shipping...

    Anyone else run into this?

    Yes, sent Customs my receipt for my watch, they cleared it and charged me nothing. Ferrari Store does not annote the items they send properly so it triggers Customs to place a hold. And Ferrari Store does not answer their queries so you need to be proactive or your item will sit there in limbo. I told Ferrari Store they need to fix this problem in a recent customer service survery they sent me. Every item I've ordered has been hung up in Customs.

    I recently ordered a couple of backpacks for the kids. That were unavailable here in the US. Paid for expediated shipping via FedEX and the items were held up at customs until they received a description of the items and their cost from me. FYI. Days of shipment do not include the time spent being held by customs.
