greg_rfc Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 How long does it usually take for Silix to get the watch to you? I've heard he's not the fastest, which is fine, just wondering how long it usually takes... Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Delivery of a watch from the far east will usually take about two weeks. Sometimes you get lucky and it arrives in a few days, other times it takes longer. Just be patient and enjoy the "anticipation period". For me that is the most fun part of ordering a new watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_rfc Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Thanks. The anticipation is crazy. Like Xmas as a kid, especially because this is my first. I was just wondering if it was a few days, few weeks or a few months. Thanks for the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assasi9 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 i am still waiting 40 days+. its hit or miss with that guy(girl). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashman Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 It is always a painful wait but well worth it in the end. My Silix order has just arrived in the UK and due at my door tomorrow. Just over 2 weeks from order, and I think he sometimes has to get the stock in if he does not have it to hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 It is always a painful wait but well worth it in the end. My Silix order has just arrived in the UK and due at my door tomorrow. Just over 2 weeks from order, and I think he sometimes has to get the stock in if he does not have it to hand. I agree. I ordered 3 watches from him via email. 2 were special orders, one was one that is "standard stock". 1 of the special orderes arrived after 1 week...no big deal...but the second has been waiting for over a month. I asked him to ship the first 2 which he did...but as I paid for express shipping ($28), but now require 2 shipments for the order, he shipped the first 2 by registered it seems which has taken about 9 days to arrive in Canada, and should be across the country in another 2-3 days. The third watch is still pending...stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vric Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Registered to Canada is 21-30 days, not 9. If Jay have the watch, he ship quite fast. But what I hate is you can't know if the watch is actually available or not. When I ordered from him, I asked BEFORE if the watch was available. He said yes, no problem. I paid, then oups, the watch wasn't available anymore. Had to wait near a month and in the end he sent me a slicely different version of it (after offering it to me, he didn't shipped something I didn't want). So Overall a good guy, but I hate how he deal with "potential buyer"... Most of the sellers are like that anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar0401 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I bought quite a few watches from Silix. It never took more than 2 weeks to get the package in the US. The fastest delivery happened a few days ago. Ordered HBB lite and paid on March 19th, got a message on March 20th that the order would be shipped soon, got the package at my door on 25th.

doc savage Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I have had good service from Silix, about average among rep dealers I'd say. This topic reminds me of something; what would it take to form a ranking system for dealers, beyond just the subjective user reviews? Besides simplifiying things, I think it would be more fair to the dealers themselves. Just something simple, like 1-5 stars for communication, shipping time, product versus description, return policy, and overall experience. These easy-to-compare rankings would also serve as an incentive for dealers to improve their services and improve competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vric Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) The problem with the ratings is one day a dealer is great and the other he is to avoid. TTK, Paul or recently TWP are few example. Or even the Josh/Andrew storm few months ago. Edited March 31, 2008 by vric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carl Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 My experience, with about two dozen watches over three years, has been anywhere from five days to five weeks. Perhaps longer. Over the past two or three months it seems that that it has been better. Something will always arrive. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eculuke Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 once he ships, it doesnt take usually more than 5-8 business days. But you should probably ask him if he has it in stock to ship immediatly. Not all stuff on his website are in stock. It could take 2-3 weeks to months if he doesn't have it.
