I should have known better then to use a non TD, but a friend of mine got a really nice VSF Hulk from GeekTime, and raved about how fast the process was so I gave them a try. Here’s what happened.
On January 3rd I contacted them via WhatsApp. I told him I wanted a vsf hulk and YM. From reading here I know the vsf YM comes with a small oysterflex, I let him know the oyster flex combo I need. Within 4 minutes of agreeing to a price I send him the $20 deposit for QC via paypal
QC pictures for the hulk arrive 10 hours later. I ask for 1 additional picture of the crown, that pictures arrives a few hours later.
On January 5th I get pictures of the YM, everything looks good but the amplitude readings are terrible, they had the lift angle set incorrectly
On January 7th get the updated video of the watch with the correct lift angle everything is good, I accept both watches.
On January 8th I pay the total outstanding balance
I don’t hear anything from him until January 14th, when he responds to a previous message asking what’s taking so long. He claims it took him 1 week to source a strap for a 20cm wrist.
On January 15th I ask him to speed the process along since CNY is coming and there’s going to be a massive amount of outbound from China.
On January 17th I receive a picture of my watches and a shipping label, and I am told the watch will ship out that day.
January 31st I get a message saying I have a new tracking number. Turns out my watches have been sitting someplace in China for the last 2 weeks. “Customs is too strict” for the last two weeks.
All of these issues are minor inconveniences, and I realize some of this stuff is bound to happen with any dealer, but I won’t be shopping with GeekTime again.
