crystalcranium Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Take a look at this routing history for a watch I bought from Paul that shipped Sunday evening East coast of the USA time from China to my home in Pennsylvania,USA. It shipped via DHL. The history is in reverse order. 9/19/2006 8:53 am With delivery courier. 7:24 am Arrived at DHL facility. Lester, PA 3:35 am Transit through sort facility. Wilmington, OH 1:35 am Clearance processing complete. Wilmington, OH 1:22 am Arrived at DHL facility. Wilmington, OH 9/18/2006 7:16 pm In transit. Kowloon, Hong Kong 6:23 pm Arrived at DHL facility. Kowloon, Hong Kong 4:54 pm Temporary delay in transit Shenzhen, China 3:29 pm In transit. Shenzhen, China 2:49 pm Arrived at DHL facility. Shenzhen, China 1:56 pm Departing origin. Guangzhou, China 9:43 am Picked Up by DHL. So a package that was shipped at 10:00 in the evening on Sunday local time is going to get to my house on the other side of the world by noon on a Tuesday!!! In fact, it looks like it flew directly from Hong Kong to Ohio USA non stop. Wow! For all of us immediate gratification nuts out there....Thank You Paul!!! BTW, this is an IWC GST SS White dial for $199 with free shipping. Paul even included a free MB pen to offset the cost of a WU transfer. What a great deal.

salieri Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Thats amazing. I've had items shipped within the same state take longer to arrive. I'm jealous of how quick that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
