Purchase price with caution

I would echo the caution on the very high import tax if purchasing from UK, I spent £140 on product and total cost once UPS sends their invoice approaches £200, knowing this in advance would have influenced my purchasing decision not to buy from WB. 3 straps for £200 would mean an alternative vendor for me. Please dont be fooled by their advertised price, be aware products are shipped by UPS from Stockholm, with the delivery comes a separate invoice from UPS detailing import VAT, duties, and a 26% brokerage charges.

Hey Buddy!

Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience with the unexpected import taxes. Since the UK’s exit from the EU, taxes are unfortunately applied to all shipments valued over £135. This is a result of UK government policies, and while we wish it were within our control, it’s something we must comply with.

That said, we are deeply committed to ensuring 100% customer satisfaction. Please reach out to our customer support team at info@wristbuddy.com, and we’ll do everything we can to make this right for you.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention—we value your feedback and hope to have the chance to turn this experience around.

Best regards,

I just bought 3 more of the moonwatch straps from Wristbuddys and I absolutely love them. They are very comfortable and high quality, they make the watch look 100x better. Customer service team is great if you were to ever need their help and absolutely love the straps, will definitely be buying more when the time comes!

1- super intuitive and easy to navigate website
2- very fast shipping/arrival
3- high quality packaging
4- the product itself is clearly very well constructed, fits the watch perfectly, matches the color way and easy to put on

Beware Of high import expenses.

The Quality on these straps seems very good, they do have a rubbery smell about them but only noticeable when you literally put your nose on them. Originally I was gifted 2 over Christmas and liked them so much that I decided to purchase 3 more for my Moonswatch Collection. Only that the person that gifted did not warn me about the ridiculous tax and accounting fees. Ended up Paying $50 more. Was also told that because Wrist Buddies masks the delivery price into the purchase price (free delivery) we end up getting taxed on the actual delivery costs, where as normally if they were indicated on the purchase price we'd save on that expense(no tax on shipping costs). The actual straps are actually pretty nice, 4.5 stars but the surprise import costs made them overpriced. Montreal, Canada.

Hey Buddy,

We’re so glad to hear that you’re enjoying the quality of the straps—though we hope they spend more time on your wrist than near your nose! 😉

We completely understand your frustration about the surprise import fees. Unfortunately, import taxes and fees are set by the Canadian government, and while we cover the shipping cost with UPS, we can’t influence those additional charges. Canada, along with countries like India and some in South America, has specific import regulations that make these costs unavoidable.

We really appreciate your feedback and will work on making this information even clearer in our shipping details. Thanks again for your support, and we hope your Moonswatch collection looks amazing with the new straps!

Wow.

Wow. I didn’t get off to the best start, as there were some communication issues, but I flagged this and was utterly taken care of. The CEO obviously really does care and made a real effort to make it right, turning a frustrated individual into a loyal customer, which is truly impressive. Impeccable service, fast delivery and a fantastic product. Thank you.

Great Products & Customer Service!

I am very impressed with this company, their products, and their customer service. I ordered a new band from them, and while this one didn’t quite fit my bigger wrist properly (my fault), the band was high quality and the packaging was impressive as well. Johanna from customer service was great to deal with and was able to process my return very smoothly. Looking forward to purchasing from Wristbuddys again soon.

The bands look great! And it is so nice to be able to change the band of my watches and to match my outfit!
Great costumer service. One of the bands I ordered had a defect. I received quick answer after an email and great support.

This time customer

This is my first time purchasing from Wristbuddy and they've exceeded my expectations. I was very surprised when I opened the box to find extra spring bars (on top of the extra spring bars that came with the strap) and a Wristbuddy branded soft cloth. Their customer service alone is enough to make me a repeat customer. I will definitely purchase again once I'm ready for another strap.

Excellent quality and customer service.

I have used Wristbuddys a couple of times. On both occasions the straps were excellent quality, packaged well and arrived quickly. Due to my error, the second strap did not fit, yet customer services did everything possible to remedy the situation. Many thanks for that.
They were helpful, polite and dealt with everything quickly. I highly recommend Wristbuddys, and would definitely use them again.
