seadweller3 Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 My watch shipped from Josh on 11/3. EMS and USPS both say 11/4 - "We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece". It is now 11/7 and there has not been a new update yet. Should this have hit the US by now, or not? Thanks in advance for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 What he said. My experience has always been between 10 and 21 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadweller3 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Thanks, gents. I thought he stated 5-7 days via EMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmt Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Right. I have usually gotten mine (in Chicago) sooner... about a week or 10 days... Also, you might check the USPS website. Once it leaves China, there are no more updates on the EMS site. Good luck. I am sure you won't have a problem. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkymk Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 I previously ordered from Andrew (trustywatchguy) who also ships from China. I am also in NYC and received in 4 business days. My status wasn't updated until the day I received it though. Hope this helps and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Thanks, gents. I thought he stated 5-7 days via EMS. Eddieplatt, this is how post from China goes: Arriving in 1-4 Days: Light a candle, go on your knees, kill small animals at the altar of the Postal Gods. Arriving in 5-10 Days: Speedy Gonzalez, yay! Arriving in 11-20 Days: Par for the course. Arriving in 21-31 Days: Finally relaxes after biting nails checking EMS website every five seconds. Nothing for over 31 Days: Yep, start to worry just about now. ...you'll be fine. Good luck to you. Victoria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I guess living in the middle of the Pacific has some advantages... I recieve mine in 4 day's unless the delivery day falls on a Saturday.. then give it until Monday.... if it comes from LAX it's really fast.. if SFO... then another day or two... I guess the farther East you go ie. Midwest or East coast.. seems like for each region a day or more is added... Postal services never makes sense .. your paying for express ... 4 day's .. and getting lesser than 1st class (7 day's) air mail.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the east coast of the USA and EMS has never taken longer than 5 days, regular never longer than 10. As far as tracking numbers go, I stopped tracking all of my shipments from China since the first three didn't show up on the USPS website until after my watches arrived...just caused undue stress on the ticker.

I expect these next 2 months to be slower than normal.. East Coast to Hawaii takes much longer than hawaii to East Coast.. I know no consistency huh..
