Hi, i live in asia and i order something from Guangzhou. Usually air register mail from Guangzhou is quite fast. The most 7 working days once post out will reach my place. If from other less promineint province will take longer.

But from the last 2 months is slower than usual, I have wait for an item for 10 working days and still not here yet. Is there special season or holiday going on? EMS is still fast but very expensive :(

Hi, just an reminder for all yiu guys. my supplier inform me recent register airmail from china will be slower than usual becos of surge of parcel. Anybody consider register airmail may wait longer than usual. Probably EMS will be the better choice if it cost only a little more.

I've been waiting for almost a month for some watches I won on Roberts Auction with regular airmail, how long is it supposed to take to get from Thailand to Australia?

1 month is long but I think probably another week will do.

yeah its Robert, I know he hates people emailing him with stuff, but i've received a watch I ordered after I ordered the one which hasn't come so something definitely isn't right.

Give it 4 more days, then send another email. If no response after 2 days, contact a Mod.

By the way - it happens all the time around here where watches going to the same basic location sent on the same day by the same dealer will arrive weeks apart. That's EMS for you.
Tracking is worthless and Robert probably cannot get any more info than you have. But he should respond to a legitimate request for info. Even if the response is "I don't know".

Yeah but the one which arrived today was sent almost 3 weeks after the first one which still hasn't shown up!! I'll wait a bit longer before making it an issue, I mean if it was sent it's got to arrive at some stage right?
