Reaps you clearly didn’t read my post in it’s entirety, or worse you don’t have the ability to comprehend the written word before you so quickly cut and paste the typical internet tough guy tirade of “use our brain/ don’t you know how this works - - I waited X amount of time for mine- blah blah blah ….

Let me lay out my reality in a way you can understand. My frustration with ctime is that it sat on a desk for a week before it hit China post. I have picked up many watches from them and usually they have label printed and off to China post in no time. But again if you comprehend what was written instead of what you wanted it to say - I wouldn’t be writing this response.

My frustration with fast track express and usps, as whiten above, is for sending to NYC- after arriving in Chicago and then finally to LA/CA is self explanatory.

FYI. As for your comments on TDs Non TDs fed exing and dhl / case study. I have ordered several from non tds that fed ex and I’m batting a 1000 percent on getting them in 7 days - Zero confiscations. Happy to share his contact - but that might go against your “use your brain” mentality

I use a mixture of both TDs and non TDs. And I'll always lean towards using a TD over a non TD. "Everything goes right until something goes wrong". That's something you'll learn soon enough with non TDs. It's your risk. The rep game is the wild west and the forum provides a safety net in case something goes wrong. But hey. Your money, your rules, your choice.

I'm not gonna say anything further. People can come and read your messages and make the inference for themselves. You bought from CTime many times, and one time he posted your package slightly late you hit them with the complaint. Maybe contribute to the forum in a way that is reviewing your reps or comparing with gen instead of bitching and complaining about TDs.

Merry Christmas and enjoy your new rep.

No worries and same to you /howecer since you’ve opened the dialog with your suggestion' -Read my post, they are either asking for help, thanking someone for their help, or offering help to those who ask. Unlike the words written above, I have never sent an unsolicited post insulting a member, nor have I ever spoken down to a member - can you say that

Hi there! I was thinking of ordering a 116500 panda from CTime and I was wondering if you could please share some wrist shots of your beautiful Panda that you've received from him? Appreciate it!

I'm in the same boat as you ( waiting on a watch from Ctime).
My status hasn't changed in over a week and states "departed Shipping Partner facility " USPS is waiting for item with a Jamaica NY address. ( this can be alarming -especially to a newbie - ive been there :) )

Go to https://www.17track.net/en
Then Choose the Carrier LTEXP and/or Seashells tong - and the site will then tell you exactly where your package is on its journey in China - the USPS tracking number will only accurately track once they have in their possession .
More times than not - it will say Item arrived at a Chinese airport and waiting to be shipped - it can say this and be in this status until after it passes thru Chinese customs and only after it arrives in the states will the tracking status change.

Its ok to ask questions and its not silly to be concerned on timing when going thru the process while still learning the hobbv.

Good luck and reach out if I can help
Mine just showing January 12 Shipment information sent to FedEx and not updating at all, CTime said they shipped it on 12 January

A. Just for clarity- are you saying that Ctime is fed exing you the watch. I didn’t know that they fed ex’d.( I know that chazingtime does) I have to ask - are you sure you ordered from Ctime and not a imposter.
B. Regardless of TD - the process is that after purchase - a label is created and fed ex is notified and waiting to be in possession of package. During this time ( could be a week or so) it sits with a currier who collects the watch from TD and when he has what he feels is enough or truck is full- the currier only then delivers to fed ex or China post. With a day or 2- fed ex will be in possession and you’ll be able to track. You’re almost there.

your gonna be ok - I had the same questions. Malaysia could be the office where they created the label, or it could be sent there via China post - and then fed ex from Malaysia to avoid confiscation ( totally guessing on that one - but still a viable possibility 😄). Either way hang tight. It’s gonna start tracking any day. In my experience with receiving rep watches fed ex from China - there is a weeks journey for fed ex to actually receive the watch from time of label Creation. when we Americans here fed ex - we instantly think - I’ll get it tomorrow- Your good

I notice what looks like a cut line on the bezel from the Kermit just off the 12 marker. I’ve never seen that before.
