First of all, email for Mary Watch is [email protected]
Second, Mary can accept payment in Wise. Very easy to download the Wise ap, register, and send money. The Wise fee is tiny. Definitely time to short WU ($20.03) stock. Western Union is the new Pony Express.
Third: Time Frame: Patience, grasshopper. But not because of Mary. Read on:
Between the date I paid for the watch and the date the watch went into the mail in China, it was 15 days. This was because there was some back-and-forth resulting from my preference for a certain bezel inlay coloration that did not initially appear to be available. I had given my approval for a second-choice inlay. Mary was able to swap the first watch from the factory for one that had my first preference for the inlay. This was on Mary’s initiative. I was pleased, thrilled even, Mary held out.
Once the watch arrived in CONUS, it literally sat a month in one place in NY. For the last 25 of those days, I had a shot per day of 400 Conejos Joven Espadin Mezcal (cheap, $25) to smooth me out. USPS finally woke up and got the watch to the left side of the US. From reading commentary here, it does appear that USPS is having systematic issues in moving packages arriving from China across our country. So, if we have to point fingers at anyone, it is all about USPS (as well as, to be fair, Amazon, AliExpress, and the collective weight of the American consumer, myself included, clogging up the system).
Packaging: Perfect. I would say bomb-proof, but leave it to the boys at USPS to devise new ways to crush watches. This package did arrive without a scratch or dent.
Post Delivery: In 8 days since receipt, the watch has averaged - 3 sec/day. So I am always on time.
My apologies for the error in the email address in the subject heading. It is as indicated in the main text: [email protected]
