Terms & Conditions
Rhine Watches takes pride in offering a curated selection of pre-owned timepieces. As a note of transparency, it's important to mention that we are not an authorized dealer, nor are we affiliated with any of the brands we sell. Each watch in our collection is meticulously sourced and inspected to ensure authenticity and quality. By specializing in pre-owned watches, we aim to provide our customers with access to exceptional timepieces at competitive prices, while also offering a unique and diverse selection that caters to individual tastes and preferences.
Payments
Payments can be made directly through the website, Chrono24 or by bank transfer. If you decide to pay via bank transfer, you'll receive a proforma invoice via email, detailing the purchase along with our banking information. The watch will not be posted out until the full amount has been cleared by the banking intuition. In some cases, this can take up to 24 hours.
Shipping
All watches will be shipped using Royal Mail's Next Day Special Delivery service, providing tracking, insurance, and requiring a signature upon delivery. While rare, unforeseen circumstances may lead to delivery delays beyond our control. In such instances, the purchaser must promptly contact us.
​
Please ensure that someone will be available to receive the delivery before arranging shipping.
​
​
Orders will exclusively be shipped to the purchaser's registered address. Prior to shipping, a valid form of identification, such as a driving licence, and a utility bill dated within the last 3 months, linked to the address must be provided.
​
​
In rare cases where packages go missing in transit, please allow up to 10 days from the dispatch date for delivery. Please note that failure to contact Rhine Watches within 30 days will render the insurance claim invalid, and the customer will be unable to claim any loss from Rhine Watches.
​
At Rhine Watches, we understand the importance of discretion. That's why we ensure that our packaging is as discreet as possible, providing you with peace of mind when receiving your order. We take every precaution to maintain confidentiality and protect your goods throughout the shipping process.
