There are many threads on this subject, do a search and you will find an answer to your question.
Therein lies the problem
C'mon fella, you've been here 12 years with over a thousand posts and you are surprised you may have got rumped by a non TD ???
You might get lucky and it's just delayed by all the current chaos with USA and Chinese Importation, but seriously, don't hold yer breath
Lets go back, please indulge me for a moment ....
My post #3 here ....
The first line, it is clearly a joke with the OP, hence the "
" and the bleedin' great 'orse GIF, anyone on here would tell you I have what some regard as a wacko sense of humour !!Line 2 was a question, a lot of us here buy from non TD's sometimes, but me personally, I expect it may be a scammer if I've never bought from them before, and therefore I expect to lose the money, and when the watch turns up it's normally a nice result on a watch I could not get from any of the TD's !!
I've only had one real shitter of all shitters in my time here, and to be perfectly honest I was pissed late at night when I bought it, and I made a big laugh with other members by posting it in the Wristshots page when it arrived last week, because I genuinely found it funny how bloody awful it was.
Line 3 was genuine advice, the delay may well be due to the Trumpsters tarrif issues with the Chinese and the generally slower postal service I see reported from other members !!
I got told in post #4 to fuck off by the OP, so @bpbp what the naffing hell did you expect me to reply, and had I known your previous history you wouldn't have got any reply from me.
I'm with the others, including the staff, you are an original and genuine Bellend .
And then to make matters worse in my eyes, my post #11 I give another reply to a different member, @bellssn690 , without any humourous intent, and come back later to see a tirade of abuse from him towards some of my friends on here
And then these guys wonder why a lot of us can't be bothered replying.
Rant over.

A lot of people need a Snickers. Or a glass of AG1 in the mornings, or lithium pills, one of those.I think this probably best sums up this entire thread

I can assure you that I didn't start with giving ANYONE a "tirade of abuse". I asked a simple, or so I thought, question of members here that have MUCH more experience than I do and I got CLOBBERED by a condescending jerk, then you decided to interject yourself. "Who the hell do you think you are" was directed at me. I'm a new member looking for advice, not a ration of shit from you or anyone else. You interjected yourself with attitude and nothing constructive in the way of advice, just you rushing to the "defense" of a member that's been here longer than I have. NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING in my original question deserved anything like the smartass comments and tirade I got from you and others with contempt. You know NOTHING about me, but I'll not be all meek and mild when someone is a condescending asshole, especially when it is undeserved. I'm the one who got a "tirade of abuse" for no good reason so you can spout your BS somewhere else.Lets go back, please indulge me for a moment ....

"And then these guys wonder why a lot of us can't be bothered replying."
You could've kept your mouth shut, but no! You gotta jump in like the "hero" coming to rescue your "friend" who is the one who threw the first punch. You apparently can be easily bothered, and have a "friend" who reads, reads, reads yet neither one ever said ANYTHING helpful. Great way to welcome new members who are just looking to more experienced users for helpful advice. Do me a favor and block me or whatever floats your boat, but keep your mouth shut when it comes to replying to any of my posts if this is how you're gonna act. you're the kind of user who makes other users leery of asking questions which is the very purpose of this forum - to help others learn. You're quite the keyboard warrior.

I take a "happy pill" in the morning because of PTSD from being a medic in Iraq in 2004. I experienced LOTS of rocket and mortar attacks but never thought I'd get attacked here like I did for a genuine, simple question for advice. If this is the way it's gonna be on here then I may just need to never post anything because I'm not gonna be anyone's punching bag. I've been through too much to put up with keyboard warriors who think they're so much smarter and better than anyone else. I damn sure wasn't trying to hijack the thread but the title grabbed my attention and seemed to be close to the same situation as mine, so being new, I thought I'd ask. This forum is new for me but I'm a member of many, many different forums and have been for years and this is THE FIRST TIME I've ever been flamed like I was for asking for advice.

I think @trailboss99 was talking about everyone to take a happy pill, not just you. I’m sorry you dealt with a pointless war, and had to experience that shit, but it doesn’t matter at the end of the day because people will throw shit at others until something sticks. It’s the real world. RWI is a community of asshats and gentlemen, knowledgeable and not. It’s a mixed breed of people and it’s what makes this place awesome. I would suggest you learn how to adapt to people’s shit talking like I had to. Trust me, I was going at it with everyone and their aunts, uncles, and moms on here until I got thrown in the slammer. Since then, I take peoples jokes and shit talking with a grain of salt, because at the end of the day, we’re all dealing with stupid shit and we should just all laugh it off, or ignore one another if you can’t find the means to look through the bs.
My apologies if I said anything that offended you and I too Thank You for your service
If you think that then you know absolutely nothing about me either.
I gave you good advice in my initial reply, it was you that became the keyboard warrior !!

Update: getting tariffed for the parcel. I just wish Trump and the gov would take me out to dinner first before they decided to f*ck me. This is ridiculous. Not to bring politics into this forum but china & other countries aren’t paying shit. It’s the US citizens that are suffering the most from this.
Is the rule to pay the tariff and accept the parcel? or reach out to the TD and verify if they should be sending another watch?

That's a very good question but TBH I have no idea, I do recall seeng something about at least one TD was offering a guarantee on that, but as I'm in UK I haven't been following it as much as I'd have liked due to busy busy busy

Reached out to Steve @ TheOne. He said to pay the tariff and he’ll reimburse me once I receive the package. Another reason to use an RWI TD and a good TD at the least. Steve is awesome. Paid the tariff and it’s been cleared and moving forward. Only $25 but still it sucks dicks having to pay it.

What is "Brokerage Charge" please ?
If I'm thinking this out correctly, (probably not lol), that means the Trumpsters mob took $8.24 and UPS decided they'd charge you double and a bit for themselves ?????
