Hell no!!!!. You order first and expect the watch or watches to be shipped and at your door within two weeks. Why read or ask questions when ordering about a timeline. It's not like the TD's have any other customers they deal with on a daily basis.

This is before you even started talking about the people posting the full QC pictures without any question except "does it look ok?"

2. Do your homework

3. Join RWI

4. Complain

You almost have it correct.
1. Order when you belong to Reddit.
2. When something goes wrong, the people on Reddit tell you to come here and see what the mods can do.
3. Join RWI
4. Complain: First post is to start it off by saying they found this site too late and the troubles they are going through. The last paragraph of the novel first post is when the real Karen comes out bashing the TD's.
5. Get the shite taken out of them by the forum members, because they know the only reason why they signed up here.

How did I do eBoy.

Hello everyone,

July 14th 2023 : my first order from Puretime paid!
3 watches : Cartier, JLecoultre geographic, Daytona 6263

Will update as soon as i receive QC
This is part of the normal process when the police look for the sellers. Buying illegal counterfeit watches is not the same as Amazon. My advice as a buyer of many Reps is don't ship all 3 watches in one shipment. If they are seized, you will not be happy. My seizure rate is 3%. Depending on the factory inventory of the watch you selected will determine the actual lead time. Don't ship DHL or FedEx, this will only increase the likelihood of seizure.

What shipping method do you recommend ? will the buyers be liable for shipped items or TD would provide refund ?

Cheap China Postal Service. It takes 2-3 weeks but it will arrive in most cases. My seizures were via DHL against my TD's recommendation. It all depends on your TD. Only ship 1 watch per shipment minimizes the risk. I have bought more the 100 Reps since joining RWI.

That's a very good post for a newbie. 😍🤭

Indeed, if people would do their homework BEFORE ordering, they'd know that when TDs currently send out their standardized mails, the "5-7 days for QC" mentioned in the are pretty much worthless in the current market.

Add another 2 or 3 weeks, and then some... And then it's the best case scenario for when you get QC.

In this case, Puretime even communicated the correct numbers!!!!

I don't understand the impatience.
Yes i'm a newbbie.

I did my homework and i have read it takes 5-10 days for QC. Should i have read more books about it? maybe.

Another 2 or 3 weeks? unfortunatly i have a trip out of the country and i was concerned that the parcel could be stolen if nobody at my place. Can't leave the parcel in the building alone. I kindly explained this to Puretime and i let them know that i prefer to re-order again right after my trip so i know i will be there for the parcel whenever it's ready.

I never complained about Puretime communication. Speaking about numbers, from day 1 Puretime told me :
'Thank you for your order and choosing Puretime ,usually it takes 7-15 days for us to find good quality watches from factory.'

I hope you understand the impatience now.

Indeed it's important to go with low profile Postal Service. Thank you for the advice!

Have a few too many tonight?. No mention of seizures in this thread. Talking about the expectations of the TD to give the OP QC pics and have the watches shipped and delivered in a timely manner. The OP didn't like the timeline the TD gave him and he wants a refund because of prior plans.
If you continue to buy Rep's be aware of the Chinese holidays when nothing happens.
Wow, Christmas in July is actually a real thing here in North America. Start July 1 and keep on drinking till July 31.

@Rex99 Of course there can be situations where delays are inconvenient. My point was just that rep purchases require a lot more investigation, research and planning because it can't be compared to normal retail.

Also, the TDs don't ignore their customers or delay QCs to torture them. There are good reasons for the delays which are totally beyond their reach or influence.

Now you have confirmation that you will get a refund from PT and that's the best (and really also the only thing) a TD can do for a customer who can't wait.

PS: Good luck with the new order. Just plan for more time next time and be generously patient with the TD.

How long it will eventually take will be the time they tried to get it to you ASAP.

Your patience will eventually pay off once you hold that beauty in your hands. 😉
