misterlau78 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I am a newbie here. After reading all the lovely reviews, I was convinced to get myself a UPO 42mm. Checked with Andrew on the stock availability - positive. Placed the order and paid. It has been 5 days now and I still get no QC photos. Is this normal? Andrew said he is having a lot of backlog to exit....anyone is in the same situation? I am getting a little worried. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgtguk Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 It's normal mate don't worry especially this early on, my last order took 7 days to get Qc pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterlau78 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Thanks a lot guys. I guess I just have to wait patiently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean4276 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Saying that, I placed my order for the black Bond SMP on Sunday and had my QC pics come thru yesterday afternoon. I am now waiting for an update from Andrew as I found an issue.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyfras Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Misterlau, my first purchase with TT was seamless. My second one is proving to be a bit more trying. But just be patient. Not every transaction will be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy3M Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Misterlau, my first purchase with TT was seamless. My second one is proving to be a bit more trying. But just be patient. Not every transaction will be the same. I think they are all the same. I placed an order with another "Trusted Dealer" - Communication was dismal, language barriers, took forever, etc, etc. I guess it's just the price you pay. In the end, I was happy with the product.

billyfras Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I have to disagree. My first purchase was great. Communication was good and I got a great watch in a little over a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansmeier Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Also disagree. Communication with Andrew is always lightning fast, no matter what time or weekday it is. Often you'll get an answer within minutes!Period from payment to QC pics may vary between 2 and 14 days, depending on stocks of the watch, backlog etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterlau78 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I have finally got the QC pics from Andrew 2 days ago however the tracking number still shows no information until now. What is the timing gap between QC to delivery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansmeier Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Good news that you got your QC pics! Now the waiting for the delivery begins...Tracking is not always very reliable; it SHOULD work after a few days, but it also happens that tracking don't show up any info... Rule of thumb: give it about one week before getting nervous... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indywatchguy Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Patience patience patience if you are to continue in this hobby. Andrew at TT is great. I've bought over half a dozen watches from him and the procedure is always the same. As noted above the EMS track info is not always on point but usually once shipped its 7 days to CONUS. I even received a watch on Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceocorona Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 I also made a purchase with TT. I had some issues with the QC pictures. I requested different angles to ensure it was okay, he provided those with a day. Fast communication and very understanding when dealing with me. First time rep buyer. Now we play the waiting game, ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo L Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 You need to adjust your expectations.. it's not like buying a watch from Amazon... wait 5 days adhere qc before tracking.. our better yet don't track until 10 days have passed.If he sent you qc images that means that he had the watch at it will be leaving China in a day or two.Remember you are doing an illegal transaction, so patience is the best thing to haveSent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
