Watch Scam?

MLA73

I've recently bought a "free" watch from a site called Glazed Watches, with only a charge for postage and packing. I ordered it on 3rd November and no sign of it.

Have I been had? Is anyone else familiar with this company or been in a similar situation when ordering a "free" watch from an online company? I found out them via a twitter advert.

Not sure how much you have lost?

yet another online company with no contact address or telephone number. and "giving" away watches....

unless postage and packing is pennies why would you even try to order one

How much was the postage ?

Why on earth order one, an add on Twitter and like Facebook isn't really to be trusted.

Ticking clock and Shopify?
It’s dropshipping

The watch will be worth about 50p - the scam is getting people to overpay for "postage and packing". Sorry.

The website has all the hallmarks of a scam one too. Sadly, people's greed getting the better of common sense.

From their website

How long does shipping take?

We ship orders out within 24 hours of your order. Usually most orders will arrive within nineteen days of processing period. Some international orders will take up to 3/5 weeks to arrive.

No idea. That's as far as I went into the order process. I would assume 20 USD, for delivery to the UK, but could be wrong.

Either way the OP isn't getting a watch worth anything, if at all.

Looking at the flagship on that site ($220 watch) it's a Vietnamese manufacturer charging about £9 so for $20 you'll probably get your watch in a month or more and it'll be worth $20-odd and be good enough value for it, especially of you don't get hit for import duty
