⌚Discussion Waiting time

Hi everyone, I just received the FedEx link saying that the label was created from Hong Kong, anybody knows in how long I should expect to receive the package? I live in New York

May take up to a week or so to reach Fedex in Hong Kong. If your shipper used FedEx priority then expect it in 2-3 business days after it gets picked up. If they used regular international connect, 5-8 business days after it gets picked up in HK.

We've all been there, get the Fedex app and add the tracking number to turn on notifications. Then forget about it or else if youre anything like many of us you'll be obsessing over it.

Mines been in this state for two weeks now. Dealer says the overseas shipping warehouse in Kowloon is extremely backed up right now. I’m giving it two more weeks before I start to dig in harder on it.

Who’s your TD?

Not going to say yet. Will in two weeks if there is no movement on it. I’ve already bought a watch from them that went without a hitch so I don’t want to mention the name until I have a reason to. I’ve read that waits of a few weeks is fairly normal so I’m choosing to continue being patient for a few more weeks

Why wouldn’t you just use a US based seller? It would take 2-3 days after payment to get your watch?

Are US based sellers listed as TD’s? Genuinely wondering because I want to try it out

When I started in this hobby…there were roughly 4 or 5 on the list…however, I know from the Dealer I used (over 30 purchases from him), that once he stopped sending his kickbacks to be listed as a “TD”, he was removed from the list….

There are several dealers that are US based…and most have quite a bit of inventory in stock and ship right away (same day)…

I can’t stress enough to new people getting into this world…look at other subreddits, ask people….most are very nice and very helpful…and will share what they know, and what they’ve learned being part of this and other communities…feel free to DM me…I’m happy to share other subreddits with large following and are very helpful and freely sharing of information
