indyfanphil18 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I actually started a thread a few days ago asking the same question as I had two incoming watch deliveries showing held in customs since February 12th. Tracking finally showed being released from customs on Monday 2/17 with no other updates. My watches were delivered Tuesday, February 18th. For peace of mind, I contacted the dealer to see if they were aware of any problem with inbound customs, and they said everything should be fine. The only thing I can attribute the delay to was the slew of bad weather that affected the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast last week. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Us customs like all customs agencies are Govt bureaucracies . They run at their own pace! When packages pile up like during the Christmas rush, they take longer. During the past few weeks the East coast has been hammered by Snow,Ice and abnormal cold. Both FedEx and UPS have been running warning notices on their websites about delivery interruptions in the East. I wouldn't worry, they will show up. I believe the IPSC for the East coast is out at Kennedy Airport, so for some days, probably half the workers couldn't get to work.

martijnp Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Sorry to hear this! I hope the weather is the cause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippin23 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 CNY and U.S. weather are hard on patience. I've had a package stuck in GUANGZHOU for a long time. I'm wearing out the tracking website! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamer Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 But then there's another package that I received in 5 days from the day it left china. I'll see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyfanphil18 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Oh yeah, shipping from China is spotty, rarely the same with each purchase. Sent from my RM-845_nam_vzw_100 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Customs is spotty. You can get a watch from China in 5 working days or it can disappear in Kennedy Airport sorting for 2 weeks then turn up on your doorstep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
