positivitony Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I just finished my first ever M2M transaction the other day and I'm already super excited about it! I'm keeping the details a secret until I get my package though so shhh Only thing is now that that part's done, I have to play my favorite game, and possibly everyone's favorite game, the waiting game. I'm a pretty patient guy though, so I'll live but this got me thinking! What are the shortest and longest times you've waited to receive a watch? Are any of you still waiting? And what was it that you were waiting for? Share your shipping triumphs and woes with me, I'm interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martijnp Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Longest time: My first order, this took over 6 weeks. Shortest time: My AP via a TD here took only 3 day's, that's insane from China to EU/Holland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 M2M shortest was overnight Longest was probably around 4 weeks from a TD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Shipping wise it was my fault. Took a good 4 weeks for a piece to get from US to Australia on an M2M sale. It was somewhat expensive piece so the buyer and myself were both sweating pretty good. No tracking, no nothing, it was the first piece I sold outside of US.....I was ready to give a refund when it showed up. Then I recently used the same shipping place to send a piece to UK and once again no tracking for like 2 weeks. It finally left LA yesterday. This time I paid for USPS priority international and it is still taking forever. Needless to say I will never use that shipping store again. Problem was it was the weekend and I wanted to get it out. Been better off waiting until Monday and just going the post office...the buyer would have received it sooner. For receiving, 4-5 weeks is the longest. Now on some modding work......I have waited months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time4watches Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 4-5 weeks from China on a purchase. It was nerve racking, exciting and a host of descriptors that are all good. The hunt is one thing, then the purchase, then the waiting game. It's all good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceocorona Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 First rep 6 long weeks from China. Shortest wait was a m2m overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernow Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 1 day M2M and around 4 months when I ordered a TC (but it was worth the wait). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Almost 9 weeks for a TC, once 8 weeks from China for 2 reps, fastest with transhipping was 21 days, normal is 3,5 weeks. Fastest ever was 4 days from the UK, by coincidence Sead had what I wanted over there and it arrived "immediately". And from Creation Watches Singapore once purchased on a Saturday afternoon and arrived Tuesday (!) half around the world and through customs. And: 1 strap from the US: 7 weeks shipping; another hand-made strap from the US sets the record: ordered end of May, arrived beginning October:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
