Prsist Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I have a current deal that might be going sour. Never had one before. How long do you give the dealer to get back to you? Call your credit card company and try and report fraud? Looking for a bit of advice. I dealt with this dealer before and had a perfect transaction so I'm a little confused. Excellent communication and received the watch in 10 days. I could very well be paranoid, but this deal isn't going as smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 For 1 of the Collectors, 10 days is too soon to be worrying/complaining. I would give them at least 3 full weeks (usually 4) before I send out the slings & arrows (or start seriously worrying). I would also limit your emails to no more than 1 per a 2-week period. More than that & you are likely to appear as a pest. Remember, the dealers have lives too. Which dealer & how long since you last received a communique from him?

ThinkBachs Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 This is probably one of the easiest games to get paranoid. If the collector has a good reputation, I agree with freddy333. If they've been doing it for a while, I can understand that it could get a little tiresome to answer all the concerned emails they must get. In a perfect world it would be nice if they treated every customer like it was their first and only, but it sometimes seems that once the money is in their hands, customer service can take a back seat. Mostly because the transaction is in motion and they know that things will be fine. Relax and find something else to take your mind off of things, then enjoy the surprise when it finally does show up in the mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Can I bury my head in the sand. Must repeat over and over: Newbie relax, newbie relax. See what this hobbie (obsession) does to an already unbalanced bloak?! The waiting is hard. The best solution is to order a lot more...so you lose track of what is supposed to come in and when. I had one order from another member on the board that took months! I never worried as I knew the member was a stand up guy...and it ended up he was asking me if I had received the item because he had not heard from me. I told him it had not arrived...and a week later it did. Some times the post is slow...sometimes its fast. In this case we agreed on cheap slow shipping from Australia to Canada...apparently...this was literally on the slow boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakemaster Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 A scammer is one thing. But if it's a trusted dealer please refrain from doing anything involving a chargeback unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siesta181 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 In a wierd expensive way... I agree with Toad. Order loads of stuff and the excitement will never end... it will hurt you pocekt though. Patience is a must in this game. The item will be there... just have to wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Who is the dealer? Depends on the dealers' typical shipping times. I always order from Joshua and if the watch has not been dispatched within 24 hours...I start shitting bricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I know how you feel Prsist. I was waiting on a watch about six weeks ago. After 15 days had passed I sent my dealer a message. He said that after the watch is sent he has no control on the shiping time. He said to relax and that it would arrive soon. I thanked him for his reply and told him I would let him know when I got the watch. It was the next day. The funny thing is I was going to wait one more day before I sent him a message The next watch arrived in 8 days. I guess you never know. Let us know when your watch arrives. Some wrist shots might be nice Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
