So um Im moving countries from NZ. Basically I just green lite my QC. do you guys think I would be able to get my package? Im flying out next Tuesday 26 so that leaves me roughly 7 days.

Any one recently got their packages? how long did it take them to get your watch to your door from the time you GL it?

That would depend quite a lot on what shipping method the dealer is using, wouldn't it.

If it's Airmail, you haven't got a chance in hell.

If it's 24H Express shipping, then it'll probably be OK.

24 hour express shipping? i didnt even see this as an option when i checked out. But I picked the 30 dollar express shipping.

Probably should have RL'd, then moved, then GL'd. Either that or had it sent to a friend until you get a new address. Looks like you FU'd.

It's unpredictable. It's better to hold the order till you have a new address

Since you're willing to take the risk, which I'm an agreement with the mods that I do not believe you'll get it, what was the purpose of this thread? if you knew you were moving why didn't you wait until after you had your new address set up?

I j wanted to know what other people's shipping time was. Moving countries isn't exactly gonna be easy. It's gonna take me at least 2 weeks to setup and settle down. So if I tell them to hold it That's at least 3+ weeks at the TD.

this was calculated risk. I read around a bit more and it seems the Average time is about 5 days and that was from China to America.

My customs experience in the US is anywhere from a couple of hours to 6 days, excluding the actual Transit time which is typically 3-5 days for ems. I'd suggest you set up a forwarding address with the post office if it doesn't arrive on time. Is there someone who could collect it and forward it to you? I'm very doubtful you'll receive it unless you paid for express shipping.

I live in NZ. I paid for the 30 dollar express shipping. If I miss it, i'll just ask my Flatmate to hold it. for a few weeks.

That is ok if somebody can collect the package for you.

Definitely not sorry mate! If you can get your flatmate to sort it out for you I'm sure you'll be fine.
