edgematic Posted December 15, 2008 Report Posted December 15, 2008 I'm normally a client of the EU based dealers but once I bought 2 watches from a Asian based dealer. It is being sent with registered airmail. Now the track and trace system says already since the 10th of december that my package is in Beijing International. The track & trace is in chinese so I don't understand a word of the handling my package gets. Should I worry? I'm a noob when it comes to ordering from Asia...
KB Posted December 15, 2008 Report Posted December 15, 2008 Nothing to be gained from worrying all you can do is sit back and wait for it to arrive. I find coffee works for me. Ken
coolfire Posted December 15, 2008 Report Posted December 15, 2008 care to post a pic of your tracking advice, dude?
Stephane Posted December 15, 2008 Report Posted December 15, 2008 If they shipped via registered air mail (which I hope they did) then you won't see anything move on line... In chinese, vietnamese, turkish or english, registered airmail online tracking is a joke most of the time. I am like Ken, but for me it's Ricard or Green Cow that works better
edgematic Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Posted December 15, 2008 Here you go guys: Well, then I'll sit back and drink some water and red bull... I have to study for my exams in January... Any idea how long the shipping takes? I ordered 2 rolexes, though I'm not a big rolex fan... a Rolex Datejust Turn-o-graph and a rolex Explorer 1 for a friend
Stephane Posted December 15, 2008 Report Posted December 15, 2008 Obviously it is progressing I would say 10 days to 20 days... The very last time I bought from Josh it took a week.
coolfire Posted December 15, 2008 Report Posted December 15, 2008 from what i read, your package has left Beijing on 10 Dec 08. Did you pay for ems shipping or registered airmail? If, as Stephane has mentioned, it was via reg mail, it should take about 10-20days. If it was via ems, it would roughly take about a week at most. Have a beer!
edgematic Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Posted December 15, 2008 it's been shipped with registered airmail. I hope I get it before X-mas and beer, yeah, I have some cooled ones, but it's just too early to open one up. I'll take a beer tonight. regards

flex Posted December 15, 2008 Report Posted December 15, 2008 Hi there From reading of that table, your goods were sent from GZ to Beijing on 12/10. Give it 4/5 days. You should be getting it today or these couple of days... Flex
edgematic Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Posted December 15, 2008 If everything goes fine, i suspect it'll reach you before X'mas dude. Have a couple of chilled beers! Done studying/working on my project! Now it's time to sit back, wait for my watches to come and drink some...
edgematic Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Posted December 22, 2008 I haven't received both of the watches yet. Should I start worrying? Because it takes a really long time to get here! Already 15 days...
Stephane Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 I haven't received both of the watches yet. Should I start worrying? Because it takes a really long time to get here! Already 15 days... I wouldn't worry yet
dadog13 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 it's been shipped with registered airmail. I haven't received both of the watches yet. Should I start worrying? Because it takes a really long time to get here! Already 15 days... reg. air mail from Asia to EU can take up to one month...
Samurai Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 Wow...one month? I have sent a few packages from Singapore (watches sold here) to members in Europe....EMS reached in 3-4 days and reg. mail in a max of 10 days.
Samurai Posted December 22, 2008 Report Posted December 22, 2008 Singapore ain't GZ Agreed....but a month seems excessive by any strech of imagination.
edgematic Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Posted December 22, 2008 My first order took 23 days with reg. airmail with a stop at the UK... That really is the part I don't like about replica's, waiting! hehe. But I should think about the happiness afterwards! But really, I'm going crazy the last days. I'm studying for my examinations and as soon as I hear the sound of my PO box I run downstairs and look into it! So far no watches, hehe. Well, the hope is still here... Stephane, do you know if EMS would also be a safe way to Belgium? Because you said you hoped they sent it with reg. airmail? I really feel like a noob when it comes to ordering a watch...

Don't do EMS to Belgium. Ever. Nore Fedex (as they help customs to collect VAT). Both are opened by the customs when shipped from the far east. I know what I'm talking about, believe me. Andrew + ems: seized twice. Josh + registered mail: delivered. Anyway, at my stage, I never buy from Asia anymore as it is more risky than from UK. I use Precious Time only. Not that I'm buying a lot of new stuff anymore.
edgematic Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Posted December 29, 2008 This morning I didn't receive anything again. So I went to the post office asking if they knew anything about the package. Said it was sent by registered mail etc. The guy saw CN at the end of the shipping number and he said "probably from Canada?". I said, "no, CN stands for China..." He looked up and he couldn't find anything. Then I went back home called the client service of taxipost like you told me to do, they also didn't know a thing... It looks like the Belgian Post Service really $uck$! Only thing I know is that the watches got shipped on the 7th. If the watches get lost, how can I prove it to the dealer? He promissed he would send them out again. regards
edgematic Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 Ok, it all became clear half an hour ago... The postman gave me a letter that was sent registered mail. It has been sent in name of Rolex to ask if I agree destroying the fake rolexes. They were SEIZED the 16th of January They say they suppose the watches are fake. So that's the reason why I kept receiving anything from Eurotimez... Now, I've been trying to contact him for 5-6 days and haven't heard a thing, anyone who knows more??? regards!
Samurai Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 This sucks man....waiting for over a month and nothing to show for it... It's Chinese New Year time in CN.....everything is shut....guess you'll probably hear back only after 1st week Feb. And hopefully you will get your watches before Xmas this year Cheers
edgematic Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 It's Chinese New Year time in CN.....everything is shut....guess you'll probably hear back only after 1st week Feb. Well, that's the strange thing, Chris is not in China, he's in Thailand...
Samurai Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Well, that's the strange thing, Chris is not in China, he's in Thailand... I have communicated with Chris a couple of tumes but never bought from him. Since the tracking no. was from China...I assumed he is based there. If Chris is a Chinese....he may have taken some time off. What is rather strange is that a Thailand based dealer is shipping from China....most others I know....like PWC/TTK and even Naarika at times etc. all ship from Thailand itself. Anyway....all the best in your quest to get the watches back. Am sure it'll get sorted out soon enough.
Stephane Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Oh no! That sucks a lot. I'm sorry to hear that. But I don't get it in the end. As Samurai says, how comes this pack came from CN indeed... My understanding was Eurtimez is shipping from Thailand or UK.
