rsv123 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I'm in the UK and am also experiencing the incredible slowness of EMS this Xmas period. I placed an order in November that was dispatched in early December. It finally arrived in the UK just before New Year and will likely not get to me until next week! Over a month from pick up to delivery. Bizarrely I've ordered PC bits and bobs from eBay in December from Hong Kong and mainland CN that arrived in less than 2 weeks and was also shipped via EMS.

757-200 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Once in the UK it'll be a couple of working days. It's the EMS bit that takes forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

757-200 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I am very happy to say mine has arrived this morning - Skyland Avenger 'ULTIMATE' PVD from TrustyWatchGuy - Very cool watch, excellent standard and great service. I thoroughly recommend the watch and the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eton Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Glad things turned out! I think everyone gets a little nervous when packages take longer than usual, or there is no activity for a long period of time, like when it's waiting to be reviewed by customs. At Christmas time, anything can happen with the sheer volume postal services experience!!! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eton Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Watchguy95, I'm in a similar situation, I'm waiting for a watch that left China on December 24th, it arrived in Canada on the 31st and still hasn't reached me yet (I'm not worried). Going by my package timeline your package could land today/tomorrow possibly?!? But there are numerous variables that affect it, I wouldn't worry though, it's still slow season!

rsv123 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'm not worried but just showing these things all have different times to post and get sent. Mine was dispatched by the seller within a day of me ordering it. By 2 days it had left the country. It's only just been sent out for delivery by the courier firm at this end today, which is 30 days after it left CN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eton Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 My watch arrived according to tracking information this morning: thumbsupsmileyanim: Here's a scary one for ya though...the mail in our city is delivered through Canada Post contractors, not usual carriers/federal employees. They left packages in their van over night a little while ago (completely wrong), the van was stolen and everything in the van has never been seen again!!! The van was recovered after being cleaned out and Canada Post sent a letter apologizing for the inconvenience (that's it), they wouldn't replace anything! Lukily I didn't have any watch items stolen! My wife however had gifts for others in the stolen van, she wasn't too happy. Crazy stuff huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gioarmani Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 No worries--I ordered two packages from two separate dealers, one on the 4th and one on the 5th. The one from the fourth just showed up a few days ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
