Has EMS been slow lately?

Ordered three watches from Intime. They were shipped on the 5th and arrived here in Sweden on the 11th. That's quick!
Just wanted to let you know. Don't think there's still a huge backlog since the holidays and the Iphone 6 release. If you still have watches stuck somewhere in China, the reason is something else.

EMS has been quite fast to the States for me. Shipping usually took less than a week.

Took both my packages (two different TDs) from 11/1 till today (11/12) to midwest USA.. and the post was closed yesterday for Veterans Day. So it was pretty typical for me. The Bronzo and its friends made it safely.

mclaren, I did ems and it was supposed to take about 6 days. well it was 13 I think. I just got it 2 days ago. so don't worry It will show up. The tracking showed when it went through the sorting center in China, and then nothing for 11 days. then all of a sudden it was in CHicago. So don't worry.

I'm not gloating anymore.:frusty: (post 137)
My package that got from mailing in China(EMS) to Canada in 1 day ,cleared customs in minutes, and was put in Canada posts hands(4 days ago) is not showing any change in tracking status(Richmond B.C.),despite showing expected delivery date of the 14th to me in Ontario.(today).
There should have been an update reflecting the packages arrival at the Winnipeg, Manitoba P.O.(next Province over) on Wednesday but the package never made it that far.
I had a feeling Canada Post would manage to screw up this otherwise record breaking shipment somehow.
I just hope they haven't lost it!
I am just not going to check tracking anymore...........as if.:facepalm:

You must be new here. The dealer has no friking power over how fast the package will arrive. It's the postal couriers fault. Be patient.

Been a member as long as him but you have no idea how this works. post a negative review and I will personally guarantee no other dealer will ever sell to you, and I'll make sure of that. They mailed your watch. They did exactly what they were supposed to do. how the hell do they know where your watch is now? It is not their responsibility after it leaves their hands. It's with the postal service. Their reputation speaks for itself through their reviews. Bash a dealer here for absolutely no reason and your stay will be an unpleasant one.

Sometimes it all depends how your dealer does it. They, TDs get a bunch of prepaid, already numbered EMS packaging envelopes in bulk. As soon as they are stuffed [they already know the approximate weight by now] and wait for their 'pick-up' guy' to come and get them all. If the pick-up guy wants to hold on to them for a few more days so he can make just one trip to the main EMS facility, then it is stuck !! That is usually what really happens. The first 'tracking' that shows it was scanned, happens with the initial 'pick-up' guy, who then alerts the EMS facility that he does have 'stuff' to deliver to them. That ladies and gentlemen is how stuff works over there !! A bit primitive, but it will eventually change. Those that got theirs quick, well it was most likely the 'pick up' guys last day to hold on to his stash of deliverables !! ............ Eventually, all will be well, and you will get your package. A bit of patience my friends !! ......................... Here look closely at the guys 'shoulder bag' [typical pick-up guy in mainland China] ...your watch could very well be inside it !! http://static.panoramio.com/photos/large/9931481.jpg

sorry guys, but this noob attitude is getting old on me pretty fast. getting pretty fed up with it. If people would actually do some reading and learn how this whole thing works we wouldn't have near the problems. but I do understand there's still going to be the occasional idiot too.

Who said people don't read. It seems accountability has gone out the window as of late. Ems or td or general in China or usa. Breach of contract although no specification that they promise delivery in certain time frame. Reputation reputation it stands the test of time

People may read, but some either don't understand what they read or are just plain dumb. Choose one.

This rep business is so friggin' easy to understand if you use something called 'common sense' and if you make sure you do your homework before you start buying reps. But some people just don't understand. Some call them retarded, I just call them slow (as hell).
