flyr 4 Posted March 16, 2014 Stole this link shamelessly from a post over on RG, makes interesting reading and may offer some insight for new members on how shipping from China works. https://www.taobaori...king-skills.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,795 Posted March 16, 2014 Shipping from China takes about 7-10 days to leave the country, it's another 7-10 days once it reaches US customs. Those charts could be best summarized by just saying be patient When you order a watch, be ready to wait a month for it. If it arrives in less than a month, be happy. This hobby is fun, but without patience, it can be maddening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyr 4 Posted March 16, 2014 Agreed, but I do like the charts for delayed shipments. Shows there may be hope for some that are overdue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,795 Posted March 16, 2014 Agreed completely. Many times in the US, it depends where it enters the US. I've had a few come through Los Angeles and those are released from customs in under three days. Chicago is usually 2-7 days. If it comes in through NYC, they are slow as hell. Customs there probably has the most to sort through and I have had a watch take 14 days to clear customs through NYC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vetnek 0 Posted March 16, 2014 So I suppose a shipment to the Netherlands (with additonal UK shipment) will take a week (or 2) longer? I've ordered on 22 feb.. Saw some shipment info on 24 and 27 feb. Haven't received any updates lately.. Typical case of: "patience you must have my young padawan...."? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s30n9g 0 Posted March 16, 2014 I'm waiting for mine to be released from UK customs. A few days wait I'm guessing. Hopefully no customs issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
