Are watches leaving Guangzhou quickly right now?

[wolfie1010]

I spotted a post but can't find it now that said the covid restrictions were impacting watches being shipped out from China.

I'm about to place an order with Toro Bravo and wanted to see if people are still experiencing shipping delays?

 

[Shogun100]

I ordered a watch at Eric (Geektime) on 26 March and according to the tracking number it already arrived in Germany today. I’m expecting it in Belgium on Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. So no delay at all

I ordered watches from two TDs back on 4/3, one of whom is Toro. Still nothing, but I fully expected this to be the case given the situation with lockdowns.

i think depends also of which watch ….which factory

OP was asking about shipping, not watch availability. Shipping does not depend on type of watch or the factory.

 

[derjenigewelcher]

Shipping depends which TD.

Waiting for trustytime shipping for weeks.
JTime 2 days.

My order from jTime shipped on Mar. 31st

22days later today, it's still stuck at Guangzhou.

Is Guangzhou still locked down?

My order with JTime shipped on 14/4 arrived to Aramex on 18th, departed HK on 22 and expected to be delivered within the next couple of days.

My orders from a non TD in that region also pass quite normal.

One shipment came to Aus very quickly, another still hasn't left GZ.... I guess it's luck of the draw at the moment

Come on ;-)
This is the undisputed truth *lol*

 

[TMTFM888]

Mine sent via ems is stuck in transit since 19th april . Would this delay be caused by covid restriction ?

 

[carlota011]

I am having issues with my shipment with Toro Bravo. Last time I checked it said insufficient address and returned to the sender. Uggh. I contacted Toro Bravo to see how it can be resolved

 

[RJames]

Jtime was pretty quick for me. Ordered May 5th delivered to Texas on May 31st.

 

[pepperami]

My Trusty order is still in the pipeline from 21 April. Seems Covid is still causing delays over there. I am the UK though so would expect a longer carriage.
