freddy333 Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Andrew is a reliable, long time vendor & there are often production/supply delays he is unable to do anything about. Repeated queries do little other than to add to these delays. If you just ordered on the 17th, I would give it another few weeks before contacting Andrew again. If you do not hear anything by the end of the month, I would email him a simple, 'Hi, can you tell me the status of my order? Thank you.' As they say, good things come to those who wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronos666 Posted April 3 Author Report Share Posted April 3 Thanks. Will do. I’ve been ordering from him since 2012. Just been out of the loop regarding factory delays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Shipping has slowed down over the years. This is by design to guarantee you will actually get the watch. My last Andrew shipment took a full month. It's in the hands of couriers most likely. Although I do miss the days of ordering from Andrew on a Monday and having a DHL package on a Saturday. 😞 Those days are gone.

Thanks. they've had an influx of orders because of what happened to Clean so basically, as soon as they produce a watch it's basically sold and they're just filling orders right now that's the real cause of the "delay" people are witnessing everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronos666 Posted April 8 Author Report Share Posted April 8 So they are being built to order? Find that hard to believe with the demand. Three weeks since I paid and I was told by TT , VSF are only sending orders to him every two weeks. Email inquiry response to him is , watch has not been released by factory yet. So I wait I guess. Not much else can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
