GenTLe Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hi mates, some tome ago I asked Donerix to make a strap for my Tudor BB. He did a very nice gen-like one and shipped it at the end of Jan. Now... Since nothing yet arrived (and when I asked him -one mail only- about his experiences sending to EU he didn't reply me), I'd like to know experiences from EU guys that got something from him. How much time did the strap took to come to you? Thanks, Gentle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akira Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 In my experience anything between 2 - 8 weeks is usual. Postal service in Nicaragua sometimes works in mysterious ways. Give it a few more weeks - if nothing shows up contact him again. He will reply - probably insanely busy with all kinds of stuff.

panerai153 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Not completely sure of this, but I believe he ships first class mail, which should be re-labeled last class!! It's slow, not even sure it goes by air. Even if it does, there is probably a lag time of several days to weeks before it even leaves Nicaragua, then a few more days to get to customs, them maybe another week or two sitting in customs then it winds it's way through your countries postal system. Don't feel bad, I have a watch coming from Singapore, shipped Registered, posted on January 31' no updates at all, then suddenly it shows up at the USPS facility at Miami International. This morning. So yours isn't the only one moving slow. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigelow Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 He had his Feb sale and I bought then. Nothing yet. Not a problem. I know he's knee deep in building his shop, so it's just a matter of patience right now. He's a quality guy and provides legendary straps. Besides, most things I have tracking numbers and know its coming. I kind of like the suspense of not knowing. It reminds me of the old days when you would mail order and just wait.

GenTLe Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Yes yes, no doubts about his professionalism:) Just wondering if/when I have to start worrying about postal thieves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Arrived today!!!! Exactly as I requested it to be done. Lovely (a part a bit of "old/moldy leather" smell that disappeared after a treatment with Aqua di Gio - Armani skin balsam). A pic: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
