How long after payment to a TD do you wait before you freak out?

Hi, I sent funds to a TD 8 days ago -- for a PAM 312 he had listed on his site. Not sure if I am supposed to say his name, so I won't, but he is noted as one of the oldest RWI TDs.

I have not received QC pictures and I'm not worried ... yet. Just wanted some guidance from the group before I start pinging him. I don't want to come off as a nervous pain in the ass.

Thanks

Relax.

If you didn't look up the TD in question through Google and used the contact info found on RWI (thus it's guaranteed that you're not in touch with a scammer pretending to be said TD), you will be absolutely fine.

Sometimes there are delays caused by reasons beyond the TD's range of influence.

8 days are actually nothing, tbh.

I'm not worried ...

Oh come on, mein Schnuckelhase.

You wouldn't be posting if that was true.

Ok i'd take it chill. Wise usually only takes a few days but understand that when Wise says it is "completed" it means Wise has sent the money. That's their only job.

It is usually up to the dealer's bank then to process the transaction. And these Chinese banks can take ages. I saw somewhere once a member took 2 weeks for it to proceas through.

Thanks everyone. I'll report out status once this get's to it's conclusion in hopes it will be helpful to someone else down the line.

For what it's worth, I used to get pretty anxious, but after reading numerous posts on times, delays for whatever reason, etc., I sat back. Not saying it was easy , but being patient was something I needed to exercise during the process. I'm sure it will all work out brother

When it comes to Wise, TDs always asked me to send a screenshot after payment so that they can link the inbound payment without reference on their end to the order. This I would forward and then be patient

maybe its 7 minutes , im not sure exactly

I generally check tracking twice a day every day until it arrives!

Only 2 times a day? That’s impressive. I’m sure I checked 8848 times per day the first 5 watches I waited for...now I’ve just stopped asking for tracking numbers

Did the TD confirm the watch is in stock? Because being listed on the site doesn't mean nothing. Sites are rarely updated. If it's not in stock, it means the watch will take a time to be disposable for the TD. Then they will check it, and if all it's fine, will send to you QC pictures and video. How long it takes is unpredictable. Sometimes a couple of weeks, sometimes much more. For now, you are absolutely in the common range of waiting, so don't worry too much.

Yeah, so, maybe I just need to wait maybe two days more. What is the emoji for embarrassed?

And please, don’t freak out if they don’t come in two days either Delays are completely normal in this game and the TDs rely on the information they get from their supplier, which isn’t always 100% accurate either. Just take it easy, forget about the whole thing, and enjoy it when the QC email finally arrives!
