10/28 - made contact, selected 3 watches:

1. Vsf yachtmaster gray/dot
2. ZF IWC big pilot Rodeo
3. ZF omega SMP 300 blue/gray

Payment via PP and Order processing.

One point of note, I asked how long to QC and was told ZF watches would be 3-4 weeks and the VSF yachtmaster may take longer due to part shortage.

Pretty responsive thus far for initial contact and payment instructions. I'm not too concerned about turnaround time, quality is my number 1 aim, so we shall see how this goes. Will keep the forum

Got a VSF DJ41 seems to be stuck at the airport in Shenzhen as well, since Nov 30th… I hope they’re able to get going any day now!

My PAM finally had some movement today. I got the departed origin status, so based on the same status message of the previous shipment, it should be headed to the US now. Likely another 5-6 days.

Any movement on yours? I feel like this one got tied to a carrier pigeon or something.
So it seems to have cleared customs through O’ hare (ORD) but I haven’t had any movement as of the 7th, funny enough it says it was released by customs on the 8th but I took that screenshot the night of the 7th. Been checking USPS & 17track here and there but haven’t gotten an update as of yet. What’s yours looking like bro?

Have you tried switching between LTEXP & Seashells tong as the carrier on 17track? One of them usually updates faster than the other, that’s how I was able to see it had been released by customs!
Tried switching, still nothing after the 6th, just a little more detail given beforehand.

Ahh gotcha, I actually stand corrected and mine hasn’t cleared customs yet. This is my first time getting a rep so I’m not too familiar with the steps in the shipping process, I hope it clears customs though soon though :p
