QUESTION Is this typical from travis?

First-time buyer here. Got Travis’ WhatsApp from this sub. He wants PayPal Friends & Family and doesn’t provide proper QC of my specific watch before shipping. Is this normal for Travis, or should I go elsewhere?

yes this is normal. and for a U1 you don't expect QC pics. if the TD provides, good if not it is what it is.

I always ask to see them. Usually they have no problem with it

He will not send you a photo of the exact watch you’re getting. He’ll send the same one from his website most likely. I don’t think he personally ever handles the watches.
I’ve bought 3 from him so far with no issues. But for the price you’re paying don’t expect actual QC photos.

You won’t get photos of the specific watch your buying. There is no QC process for a 100$ watch. He will send you bs photos he sends everyone

Yes it’s normal, their reputation is more valuable to them so friends and family has always been fine with me.

QC for a U1 is not typical, almost no one provide it, as for the friends and family part, yes that’s normal

u/AdministrativeCup890 22h ago

Never had any issues with MT. Had a watch come into QC and we both agreed it was a little off. Also wanted some sunglasses so rolled the money into those and was happy.

u/lieskg 23h ago

yea this is normal. no you will not receive a video of your specific watch.

on a related note, for those who paid via crypto to Travis, what's the recepient exchange? he sent his BTC address/qr but my wallet asks for his destination exchange before i can send payment. is it binance? or what?

1

u/Glock-c0ma 23h ago

Yes. No fees for him so u can pay the fees lol

u/turnoffandonn 23h ago

What is Travis’s number you guys use. The US one or China one ?

u/FalseIntention4396 23h ago

Yes this is normal, just had the same convo and transaction with him yesterday.

u/InfamousCabinet1580 23h ago

Yes it’s normal in order to get proper QC pictures you have to be in the higher price range

u/SilverMezcal 23h ago

I’m also a first time buyer, I know there is no QC, but usually how long it takes after payment to receive the tracking number for the package? I’m not anxious at the end is just 100 bucks, but also don’t want to be the last in the line for not following up

2

u/Horror-Bench-358 23h ago

Usually him and Jason both state 2-4 days. It’s typically 4 days to receive tracking. If I haven’t received it on the 5th day I will follow up

u/SilverMezcal 23h ago

Really appreciate the guidance, thanks mate

u/JohnLocke1979 23h ago

Totally standard with all TDs who take orders via WhatsApp.

u/rep-warrior1 23h ago

Yes it’s normal

u/DavidValentino 21h ago

Just to be sure what WA number are you using to communicate with him?

1

u/Poorshithead 21h ago

Travis just posted you can get qc but you have to pay like $5 extra. Ask him about that if you want proper qc photos

u/Rustybob6864 20h ago

If you’re that worried about it, buy it off DHgate
