My experience with them had a similar feel. I did return a watch that was described as “new”. It was a Rolex OP 36 blue 3 6 9 dial. The winding action had a concerning unrolex feel to it. Not what I expected a Rolex to feel and sound like. Took it to a watch maker who said they could fix it but the watch was definitely not new. I had to get a return authorization from them to return it. After they received the watch they tried that same restocking fee tactic. They claimed I marked the case and sent me a grainy picture to “prove” it. They would wave the fee if I bought another watch. I had previously purchased a Tudor black bay 41 from them which seemingly went smooth. I reminded them of that and they ultimately did not charge me. The whole experience left a terrible taste in my mouth and I am now and forever done with them. Your story parallels my own experience with them.

I just had an unpleasant experience with these creeps today but in my case it was a bait-&-switch situation. I got the model watch I wanted but it's a pre-owned Rolex and quite pricey - $28,995, but the particular model year I wanted had a tiny difference in the dial from other years. No big deal, just a little quirk that's hard to see without a magnifying glass but they showed that exact watch on their website and to make certain, I emailed them and asked them to confirm it which they did. So I wired them the money (no credit cards above $10K) and got the watch overnight. Beautiful watch! Looks brand new! But it isn't the one with the tiny difference that I was looking for. So, I called them on it and their reply was that "the girl" who answered my email doesn't know what she's talking about and that the picture didn't show what I saw. So, I went back into my history and found the listing but now it has another watch of the same model for $2,000 more but this picture doesn't show the tiny quirk that I was expecting. So, I told them I wanted them to send me the watch I bought or I want a full refund. After all, they misrepresented it and won't stand behind their own employee's written word so why should I eat $2,899 for their sleaziness? Bottom line: stay away from AuthenticWatches because the only thing authentic about them is they are genuine slime buckets.

They screwed me over with the restocking fee last year. This was on a discontinued Seiko they said they had in stock. After the purchase it was no longer in stock and they would order it for me. They said it could take months for it to arrive which would have surpassed the return time allowed by my credit card so I asked for a refund. I was charged the restocking fee and disputed the charge. My card sided with them and allowed the restocking fee. I fought with them for weeks but it was never resolved in my favor. Apparently they are geared up to screw as many customers as they can so please don’t do business with them.

Others have said this but contact your credit card company for sure. I work for Visa (here in Canada so the rules may be slightly different), but you can dispute this as item not received. The business will argue that they charge a 10% restocking fee so they are entitled to this, but their website clearly says different. I would ensure you take a screen shot of the website so you can show it to your credit card company if necessary. I would also start the dispute now so they can see the website showing the no restocking fee before it expires on Jan. 31. Any way you should be able to get all your money back. Even if they credit you back your money minus the 10% you can still dispute the 10%.

To make things worse, UPS lied to me on the phone saying that the reason was that the Las Vegas Distribution Center had been closed due to COVID and all packages were being returned. That was a blatant lie. Luckily the vendor worked with me to re-ship the watch with no additional charges and things worked out fine. I'm looking forward to a positive outcome on your saga.

Meaning, if something fails to arrive, or is not as described, or fails and the seller refuses to resolve, then the CC company has to refund👍. I understand that they refund quite quickly too👍, however this means the seller may have to foot the bill for an unscrupulous buyer. 🤨 Happy Hanukkah Mrs Goodman BTW!

An additional layer of protection on ebay is a joke, that entire site is a hive of scammers and ebay is happy to let them scam. one insanely common one ebay is well aware of but does nothing about is the the scam where people will mail a package iwth something with a similar weight to an address near you because they know usps shipping receipts only show area codes and cities, when you don't get your package they just show ebay the receipt that was never addressed to you i the first place and will side with the scammer. I bought a seiko off ebay not too long ago, it said delivered, never got the package. When i went to the post office and opened a case they gave me all sorts of info, the weight and various other stuff. I asked the seller to provide me with the full shipping invoice receipt which WOULD have my address and he made a fake one with the wrong weight and wrong tracking number. I told him to show me the real invoice or i would dispute it. He stopped responding and opened a case with ebay claiming i was trying to scam him and showed them "proof" he sent the watch. When i attempted to start a dispute case they wouldn't let me and said he had already proved to them he sent me the watch and the case was closed. I disputed it with paypal and they just said "Ebay says he proved he sent it so you're denied.". I asked ebay to show me wha the sent them and showed them how he had sent me a fake invoice and they just said this case is closed and there's nothing i can do. Meanwhile i got the watch bug again and was looking at old grand seikos on there just the other day and almost every single one was fake. What do you wanna wager that if you bought one of those very convincing fakes ebay wouldn't be able to tell or care that you got scammed.

So over the new year period i had a look and saw that the place I got my first oris had both in stock for a discounted price. I go ahead and order them both and waited for delivery. The big crown bronze arrived and was fine and a stunning watch, The big crown Pro pilot was delayed by a day which is no issue. However when I opened it I realised there was no protective stickers and no tag which both my other 2 oris watches arrived with I then check the watch over and released it was most likely a display piece as it hadn't been cleaned very well.

Sounds like FedEx messed up, but since it's the seller's FedEx account, they should have handled it. FedEx will jump when a business account holder calls and screams at them for messing up delivery service. Thanks for the heads up.

The 10% restocking fee is a scam in it's self. Soon as I see that it's automatically a no sale for me.

As others have said, you should dispute the charge with your credit card company. (You did pay with a credit card, right?) They will always side with the buyer in a case like this.

@@shaunpatrick8345 The credit card you use online is important. I use American Express, and have never hd an issue with dodgy vendors. Also, the fellow who said he was charged a restocking fee for a back ordered watch clearly is non compos mentis if he rolls over for that scam. Something doesnt sound right about his story!

Crazy story Jory! I love how regardless of what's happening you keep your cool. I would have lost it by then and started a lawsuit lol. I haven't had a bad experience with a watch purchase specifically but with online shopping, FedEx or UPS sending my order to the wrong house. Fortunately, I did get that fixed immediately within a day or two but the stress level definitely goes up for the time being. I am sure the storm will pass and you will get your watch one way or another. Stay up my friend!

At UPS there is a very stringent policy for handling high value packages. They also track every delivery with GPS to make sure it gets to the right address. Might cost $17 more than the competition, but it's worth every penny.

Don’t waste your time….call your credit card company, dispute the charge saying it was never delivered. It’s now up to the merchant to provide proof of delivery (which they can’t obviously, since you never received it). And without the proof, they are charged back the entire amount of the purchase and you aren’t out any money.

Always nice to hear people's horror stories like this as it warns others of potential issue and also we can avoid doing business with sketchy people that have no idea how to treat their customers. They lose a sale and possibly future sales of many from wanting to squeeze an extra $40. Really ridiculous.
