I’m 100% that my purse is Authentic
I even have a care book and receipts.
------------------- are you the seller or the buyer?
is the item going to Thailand or coming from Thailand?
you sent for authentication ,where?In Thailand?
I hope you paid for them using a credit card/
US customs have experts who are often called to examine items-many jade is not jade,sterling silver is not 925 silver,ivory is not ivory.
One dealer goes to Thailand every year and bring back suitcase of sterling silver jewelry without declaring,one year he was searched and expert told him none of his sterling silver jewelry is silver at all,
So he is spared from customs duty,now he has t o find a way to sell them
OP brough them in Thailand have them shipped to USA,and customs said they are counterfeits .
If you can get hold of DHL and ask if there is appeal and who should you appeal to?
or may be look up customs website or seek advice from a lawyer.
since they are used and some have receipts,may be you still have a chance.
hindsight said my be you should break them up,mix with clothes in separate shipments and use the post office.
see DHL is business while post office is personal,customs may not care that much,if you mix with clothes and sandals
5k worth of goods,sound like business.
You keep saying some of them are yours?
You mean you used to own them and somehow they end up in Thailand and you bought them back?
Just because something is preown and vintage does not mean they cant be counterfeit,LV stuff have been counterfeited for many years,so some could have aged nicely.
authentication card can be ⊗⊗⊗⊗ too,
You can pressure DHL to speak t o customs and find out what really happen to your wallets.
They must have found some counterfeit ones in your shipment so decide the whole shipment is counterfeit,also Thailand is not exactly a place for genuine brand name stuff.
Years ago,there is a family selling brand new Chanel purse,wallets and small items on Ebay,Ebay shut them down,they claim they vacation to Paris each year and bought them off season from a Paris boutique at a discount price and showed their cc receipts, with name of the Paris boutique,but Ebay wont budge,I suspect Chanel is the one which reported them.
Many name brands are made in China,Prada,Satchi and Satchi,VF and many more,a factory in China which makes one name brand but not the others could be making counterfeits,using what ever leather,frame,lining they have available on the floor,thats why you need an expert or the manufacturer to tell the difference,like they dont use such grade and color of leather,lining,not the same metal frame or buckle,zipper,anyone can make an item with authentication number and a matching card.
