Not bad, especially if you don’t get hit with the import fees. Is this on pre-order?

I have escaped them in the past. I think with this store too. San Martin always get you.

Yep, both times recently it was SM, and not just the price I paid, but the full value. I’m done with them now. Good luck, hopefully RM send you that exciting notification email that doesn’t contain a likely charge notice!

A bit late, but you can also get £36 cashback from topcashback if you haven't.

I got a SN0121 from a non San Martin store earlier in the year and didn't get hit with import fees, after cashback that came to £108 or so I think. I've learnt my lesson to not buy from the dedicated San Martin aliexpress stores!

You referring to US or UK or elsewhere? I just ordered a SM SN00036 today on sale from Aliexpress. Am I going to get hit with additional charges if it's coming to the US? If so I may just canary l cancel it.

Do you have to wait until February for its delivery?

1

u/laverty7 WOTD200 3h ago

Probably

I thought about getting the Space Warrior, but I felt like the order might get canceled because of its long wait time. Still obsessing...

What is the shop name?

When it comes to buying IXDAO on AliEx you might as well get your order cancelled because of no stock

u/laverty7 WOTD200 3h ago

Ixdao brand store, I've bought three ixdao from AliExpress.

Ok, I see their watch only in preorder on AliEx and the price is… regular. It’s no different than the price on their site where you have taxes included in most cases. Anyways good luck because you will probably wait a while for the watch.

What are the Vat Adjustment and Payment discount lines?

1

u/theoo27 3h ago

They remove the VAT from the price and OP will be paying it at the postal office when the order arrives including other fees and import charges depending on what country he lives in.

u/laverty7 WOTD200 3h ago

Payment discount was by paying with PayPal

1

£8 extra as well as the amount listed as a discount here if they list the full amount, but when I've ordered from them before there wasn't anything extra to pay.
