I returned a timeshops watch because it was stopping. When I emailed them asking when they would be returning it, I received the following reply:

 

dear friend

1. normal reigster air mail - 10USD - delviery time around 20-30 days

2. EMS. - 25USD.- delivery time around 7 days.

 

please advice

 

I replied with WTF, you pay EMS shipping... well I was more tactful than that but seriously!

Never heard a dealer asking a customer to pay for shipping when they've repaired a watch under warranty. If it was outside their warranty, it's a different matter. They usually just automatically send it back registered airmail.

Well he came down to $18 for EMS, and I was just going to bite the bullet and pay it, when he then informed me he just shipped it normal registered mail. Again, WTF - why ask me then.

 

It's already been a month since I sent it back.

If it's on its way back to you already, you're ahead of the game. It usually takes a month to get to the dealer, then 2-4 weeks to get back to you.

 

Maybe he was trying to squeeze a little extra profit from you.

Half the time airmail is just as fast as EMS anyhow.
