So, are you saying you too are waiting or are you saying you've seen watches just arrive out of the blue before with 4px? I suppose it could be both, but I'm wondering if customs is ground to a halt and the freezes in updates are real or if 4px to dhl to usps has known broken tracking and still delivers basically at random?

Waiting as well with no updates after the packages arrive in the US.

When I use the DHL Tracking suggested it shows like DHL knows about it, but there is no additional info & no changes since 4/20. I received the original 4PX tracking from Andrew on 4/12 & here is what the DHL tracking looks like (minus personal info) as of this moment.

Mine arrived in the states headed to e-commerce on the 25th. No updates on dhl site for events but it moved from LAX to another large close destination airport 100 miles from delivery address. Could it have cleared customs and go out via USPS (they say awaiting package with new USPS tracking #) without 4px, DHL or USPS ever updating beyond "enroute to dhl distribution center?" Tomorrow I'll be 10 days since the last update at all other than I can see it's moved closer. What are other's experience with dhl tracking info after 4px drops off?

Brian,
From what you are describing it sounds to me that yours is a bit further along in the process than most of the rest of that have been posting other than maybe Seamaster3459. Based on my experience of dozens of reps coming from China yours has likely cleared customs & will likely arrive within a week. No promises, but that is my somewhat educated guess. Tracking is notoriously bad for some reason when they send stuff from China. I have had many, many watches show up with the tracking still looking pretty much just like what I posted above so you can never count on tracking like we do when shipping US to US.

btw
I posted mine not because I am worried, but more to be of help to others. I would characterize my feelings on my own personal watch that is on the way as slightly annoyed, but not really worried yet. Another week or so without any word and my level of annoyance and concern will rise slightly.

Mine is 100% here. Been at the same status since 4/27 with no update. USPS still awaiting package. I’m starting to worry it was seized. :/ Arrived at LAX on 4/27, En route to DHL and nothing since.

Yep, mine is here too. No update since arriving at LAX on 4/27 and “en route to DHL e-commerce.” I’m a bit worried because we’re at 9 days with no update.

I agree also with the comment earlier about this thread. It’s not about being upset or angry about the delays etc. The world is a mess right now. I think all of us understand that. It is more seeking comfort in the fact that other people are going through the exact same experience, and yours is not simply lost. I’m glad that other people have the same thing happen, where the tracking just drops off after it hits the United States.

I’m not sure if the issue is LAX or USPS, because I know people that received their packages in California, but none anywhere else. Perhaps the issue is DHL...

The issue must be DHL backlog. Finally, today, I woke to a local received by DHL e-commerce message and a processed message with a delivery date... Still no post office handoff, but movement inside DHL e-commerce that looks very positive. I suggest using the DHL e-commerce number on the DHL e-commerce site posted earlier yourself. Hopefully, you will all see what I do. Good luck!

Lol the dhl numbers all say the same thing, electronic notification received, it means nothing until the tracking starts at the post office.

It has an estimated delivery date now, which, it did not earlier and the following updates. Obviously, I know it needs that post office handoff, but I'm thinking/hoping this local processed means that's imminent. Anyway, it is a change so I figured I'd share with the others waiting.

Appreciate the follow up. No movement on my end yet but hoping to see it reach DHL soon considering we are of a very similar timeline

Wow 24 days to get from china through Hong Kong...
The entire world is really screwed up right now.
4px finally updated now after 24 days since shipment was initially made.

Seeing movement on mine now - just to refresh everyone, made it out of HK and landed at LAX, had been stuck on 4/25's update of "EN ROUTE TO DHL ECOMMERCE"

I've been checking it daily and as of this morning that was still the most recent update. Looks like this afternoon some movement has been added in a back-dated fashion:
  • 2020-05-06 10:00JFK / In transit, it's progressing through Post network
  • 2020-04-28 15:21LAX / Released from customs: customs cleared.
  • 2020-04-25 12:53EN ROUTE TO DHL ECOMMERCE
  • 2020-04-25 12:53ELECTRONIC NOTIFICATION RECEIVED: YOUR ORDER HAS BEEN PROCESSED AND TRACKING WILL BE UPDATED SOON
  • 2020-04-24 19:48LAX / Arrived at the destination airport
  • 2020-04-24 19:48LAX / Arrival of goods at destination airport
  • 2020-04-24 17:15HKG / shipment departed from airport of origin country
  • 2020-04-24 06:00HKG / Hand over to airline.
  • 2020-04-23 13:27Baiyun,Guangzhou,China / Depart from facility to service provider.
  • 2020-04-20 22:54Baiyun,Guangzhou,China / Depart from facility to service provider.
  • 2020-04-20 22:38Baiyun,Guangzhou,China / Depart from facility to service provider.
  • 2020-04-19 11:30Baiyun,Guangzhou,China / Shipment arrived at facility and measured.
  • 2020-04-19 11:30Baiyun,Guangzhou,China / 4PX picked up shipment.
So clearly tracking updates are way behind. Customs only took 3 days even though the customs message didn't appear until today. Looks like the delivery should be arriving in the next few days.

I too now see customs cleared the 28th on the 4px tracking (just this AM that updated). I also had USPS notify me:

"Your package is on its way to a USPS facility. Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS"

Very encouraging / thanks buddy!

Unlucky lads, 4px to Australia only took 2 weeks for me which was very surprising! But I've since sent my watch to a watch smith on here, as it was DOA and rotor screw snapped. So chances are you're will need looking at too since its been in transit, here and there fo so long. But fingers crossed ????????your wait is worth it.
