Welcome to RWI, read a lot, ask questions if you can't find the answer and then freeze your CC in a block of ice 
I did buy a GMT-Master II SS from CHS. And I bought from Puretime. But the package did not arrive which is another story and not puretimes fault
. But I am hopefull and puretime is investigating my case.
The package never arrived or to be more precise: the package was delivered to me when you trust the tracking, but it wasn't. I was there the whole day.welcome on board
do you had problems with customs? oder you package never arrived Germany?
You can find more Details in another thread
Hope that the shipment will be retrieved…. and thanks anyway for letting me know!I did buy a GMT-Master II SS from CHS. And I bought from Puretime. But the package did not arrive which is another story and not puretimes fault
From my experience, the status "delivered" while the parcel never showed up at your door step, usually could mean for example that it was delivered to a neighbor or to customs for further inspection and it doesn't differentiate between your and their address.
But that does NOT necessarily mean that it was confiscated or anything like that. The last time I had this, I got also confused about the "delivered" status. With a few days delay, the package eventually arrived, out-processed from customs in this case and probably opened (although I'm not sure about that) and I had to pay a small amount of import taxes because they eventually accepted the undervalued package (declared as watch parts for repair).
This wasn't a TD, but an M2M shipment. But a parcel can often magically turn up in either instance. Patience is an absolute requirement in this hobby....
