Been just over 3 weeks since my watch was shipped must be stuck in customs. If anyone has ordered 1 from china to uk lately how long did it take to arrive? Just gettin worried that customs have seized it.

What does your tracking show?

A month is about the usual but it can be much longer sometimes as the parcel can transit through several countries

Says this mate. Have ordered many times before from china but none have taken this long. Hopefully it’s just a delay but I think it’s Been in customs for a week. Other tracks I have had in customs like 3 days max.

Ye that’s what I used mate
Aah, my bad. It looks completely different on my end.

But in my experience with Chinese customs, it can take anywhere from 3 days to 2-3 weeks if you’re really unlucky. After that, it takes 1-2 weeks before it arrives.

I've had TD orders, where the tracking hasn't updated yet the watch arrived c 3 weeks from confirmation of shipping.

Personally the only tracking I bother to check is M2M purchases.

Couldn't agree more. Alternatively, you could post screenshots every other day of the parcel not moving in the relevant TD section to keep other members waiting deep in anticipation :ROFLMAO:

Jokes aside, seems fine to me. Wait and see :)

If we stick around, we live and learn. Think my first ever thread was a blow my blow account of the order *cringe*.

Not quite as bad as you describe but did recount the full chronological sequence of events 🤣.
