Yep..I thought DHL is better and faster that is why I asked about this situation.
I used EMS once and wanted to try DHL for faster delivery.
I reckon EMS package departs from Guangzhou and DHL from Hongkong.
Is it holiday session in HongKong at this moment?
I guess Ill inform to TD about this and wait until next week.

Thanks

My watch has been sitting in Chicago customs for 6 days now. How worried should I be?

Since Monday? or since last Friday?

You had the memorial day holiday weekend so things got gummed up a bit ... I had a 2-day priority express USPS package take 5 days for example...

has anyone tried opening a virtual mailbox in NY(or some other area that has lax customs), so that the package would be shipped through NYC customs, and then just getting it forwarded to your real address once it hits the states.

I think something like this would only run like $15 a month. So you can prepay for like 2 months(probably too much of a gamble with one month) and then buy like 3 watches to spread out your costs(would end up being like $10 extra per watch).

If yes, what's a good service for that?

Got a phone call this morning from DHL stating that my first order was seized by US Customs. :(



Anyone else have trouble with DHL lately? Did I get super unlucky or is DHL cracking down hard on reps?

DHL is crazy this month. Larry, please don't post tracking numbers on board.

For people who know, they can know the sender and the receiver. It is not good for any of us.

Did it go through CINCINNATI?

My tracking showed it cleared customs last Saturday the 19th and expected delivery was last Monday the 21st.

Now it shows it's back in Customs and estimated Delivery Date is currently unavailable..???

Anyone seen this before?

i think at some point the TDs should just start shipping these things sewn into a toy teddy bear. Offer this as a $5-$10 service(hell they could even make money off it for all I care). Then you are pretty much guaranteed to get your package.

That would be a great idea but they have something called the X-Ray scan that apparently can see through things :D

Seriously, should I call DHL or just wait until.. When?

You can put in a teddy bear or in an adult toy, on the scanner it will show it's a watch...

To answer your earlier question, yes, mine did go to Cinci. Your tracking pattern looks much more promising than mine did. For reference, here's what my tracking progression looked like:
