Sorry everyone if I just bashed the door and complained, this was not my intention. (I'm a noob in the forum world)

I saw other threads from people that we're waiting long for Lucy to answer, and after they posted on the forum they received a reply from Lucy after a day.

I just wanted to share the story, shine light on what happened to my purchase. I'm not here to hope I get my money back thats not my intention, I just feel getting a little communication with TD after this situation would be nice, but maybe I'm asking for too much.

The only problem Lucy has is her late responsiveness. She's a great TD, above average QC, will match lowest pricing in the market most of the times, but she doesn't communicate very much. Everyone knows this and probably only the most patient of us use her.
That said, since you're new to the rep game, sorry, I missed an official welcome
Hi and welcome to RWI! Glad you found your way here.

Please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (all subsections), learn the basic forum rules and get some very good advice in the process. A number of questions has already been answered there, this is just an example:


As a new subscriber, you've already been directed to this thread, please read carefully and look through the linked additional threads:


Another good thread to read to understand where RWI comes from and some fundamentals is this:


Most of the information you need to know to start is there. If you're preparing to buy, read the stickies before ordering. When you're finished, you can continue learning by reading the stickies in all remaining sections. If it's stickied, it's important information.

If you intend to sell, read the sales rules and all stickies in the sales section with particular care and make sure you understand each single rule. Sales rules infraction is taken very seriously here. As a new member you are not eligible to sell. Using the sales section is a privilege, eligibility must be earned, make sure you know and understand how.

For anything else, feel free to reach out to @eBoy or me, we're happy to assist, advise, direct, explain. Don't hesitate.

Don't be afraid to post noob questions in the new members area. In doubt, use the flame free zone. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the new members area, please reach out to @eBoy or me. Mutual respect is of utmost importance to us. On the other hand, we're grown-ups and are supposed to be able to deal with a bit of irony, don't take it personally, ever, a bit of irony never harmed anyone. If you laugh at jokes, you'll make friends faster.

This forum is a treasure trove of information and benefits from the engagement of all members who take their time to share their knowledge, help each other out and have some fun. We hope that you'll benefit and enjoy this platform as well as contribute positively to it.

I'm shure your watch has been stolen. The same happened to me while sending inside germany.
DHL said zhis would happen often in the last time. This has nothing to do with lucy and she can't help.
You have to sort this out with DHL, like we did.

Thanks for your comment :)

As far as I remember there is a possibility on there Website. You have to give them prove of payment, what you bought ( I told them a Hommage watch) and maybe some additional Infos.
With us they refunded the whole money.

Thanks @Winni1611 , I always thought only the Seller could achieve a solution with DHL, this really helps from a buyer perspective.

I'm happy that me and others who find themselves in this unfortunate situation, can at least try to achieve something with DHL, already a win for me :)!

Hi Friend,

Sorry for didn't see this thread from you in time,and sorry for hear about it from you,
but friend,from your words,I feel you didn't order that watch from me,

recently,I saw many these reviews,the customers posted reviews about ordered from me,
but didn't get the watch and didn't get reply from "Lucy" later,some of them said they ordered from my site,
but in fact,I don't have site,I only have one email to talk with my customers,

this is my only email,
[email protected]

so whether you talked with this email?
I have many customers were cheated by those fake sites already,
some of these fake sites pretend that they are "Lucy" or they worked for "Lucy",but in fact,I don't know them,

I just want to clarify these things below,

1,in the last 10 years after I joined in RWI,I think I almost never send any one package out via the formal DHL so far,
even if my customers require to send via DHL,I always advised my customers chosen other shipping methods also,
I know DHL is fast,but my post man always told me DHL have big risk to pass the customs,
to me,safe always is the most important thing,so that's why I never use DHL for shipping,

just in recent years,for all my packages to Germany,
my post man told me he send all these packages via a carrier company which called Germany DHL,
he told me it's a special line,and he told me it's not the real formal DHL,this is the only country which my packages involved DHL,

for any other country,if you get DHL package from "Lucy",it's not from me,

so when I saw you mentioned you got an empty DHL box,then the first thing I thought maybe you was cheated by a fake "Lucy"
at least,it's not me,

2,friend,I tried to search your nickname in my emails,I can't find your emails,
can you resend me a new email again with your nickname?I will wait and check your email,then reply you,

if you can provide our chatting records of emails,that's great too,I will check for you also,

I think I can say I am an honest dealer,I am one person work,no other ones worked for me,
so all watches packaged by myself,my post man will tell me the weight of each package also when send it out,so won't have empty box,
so I know the situation of each package before send out,
I joined in RWI more than 10 years already,so far,I never heard any one customer of me told me that they got an empty box from me,

so I think maybe you didn't ordered it from me,

if you have any question still,you can send me an email about it also,
I will reply you there too.

Regards
Lucy

Hi Lucy,

Thanks for replying.

I’ve only had communication with this email adres
[email protected] — just like the previous watch I’ve bought — which went really smooth.

I will send you all the communication and proof that my package was this time sent via DHL.

Oh,friend,I got your email,I know your order now,

I want to clarify these things below,

1,friend,you ordered it from me indeed,you ordered a watch from me at before also,so I want to help you clarify about it too,

2,I send this watch to you on the early Dec,when you told me you got the empty box,I was prepared to went to the hospital for a surgery then,
I didn't work about a few weeks in that period of time,when you send me emails on the end of Dec and early of Jan,I was in the hospital still then,
so real sorry for missed your emails then,

3,when you said you got the package via DHL,my first reaction is that you didn't order the watch from me,
because my post man always told me DHL is very fast indeed,but the shipping cost is very expensive,
usually,shipping cost is more than $60 for a package,but my customers who ordered from me all know I always charges $40 for shipping fee,
the most important thing is DHL package have risk to pass the customs,to me,safe is the most important thing always,
so that's why I said I never used DHL to send the package out,
in recent years,my post man told me he send all my packages to Germany via a special line,
later,he told me it's call Germany DHL,but it's not that fast/expensive formal DHL,
so I thought if the package involved DHL,it was send to Germany for sure,
after I got your email,and checked your address,I feel strange also,so I made a call to my post man and told him this situation just now,
he told all packages send to Europe were send via triangular shipping,and most of packages were send through Germany,
they send packages to Germany first,then send from Germany to the final address,so maybe made the waybill on package you got involved DHL,
so I know it's a misunderstand now,so I want to clarify it honestly here,

4,these are my personal opinions,the previous watch you ordered from me is a SUB,that watch is more expensive than this order,
this order is a quartz watch,not expensive,last time,I picked a good SUB for you,did many work on that one for you,
so you told me you like it after got it,from that order,I can feel you are a very good customer also,
so for the second order between us,I think you no need to cheat me about it,so to me,I total trust you,
I think it's the same to me too,the first order,I got a good SUB for you,
so I don't need and won't cheat you for a cheaper quartz watch this time too,
all I want is just we can get more trust from each other via these orders,then we can have more business in the future,
but not cheat you for a quartz watch,then bring troubles to me,so hope you can trust me too,

5,I contacted my post man,he told me he can provide the waybill of the package when he send it out,
that waybill have the weight of the package,even if it's a quartz,which is not heavy,but he can prove it's not a empty box too,
all my packages were send out by him in these years,I have very good relationship with him also,so he won't cheat me for this one package too,
I met the package seized or lost,but to be honest,this is the first time I met the empty box situation also,
after talked with other dealers and my post man,we all thought maybe this package was stolen by someone,
in the pic you send to me,it only have the box and the white foam,
for my customers who ordered from me,and the first package you got from me,I think all of you know my package,
I always packaged the watch via transparent foam first,then packaged it via that white foam,then put it in the box,
but in your pic,I didn't see that transparent foam,so I think the watch should be stolen before you got it,

so ok,I will send you an email at once now,to help you solve it,

after you post this thread,I saw many members helped me under your thread also,I real real appreciate all of your support and help,
no matter help me challenge it or help you solve the problem,RWI is real a very good place,I hope you enjoy yourself here.

Best Regards
Lucy

You might be looking to resolve the problem now, and an empty box certainly isn't your fault, but simply not responding to a customer's emails for months because you thought he might not be a genuine customer because you don't use DHL! Shocking. Horrendous customer service. Assuming he emailed you from the same email address he used to place the order, how can you pretend that you didn't know he was a customer? Talk about a red flag.

Considering that Lucy has been sick for a long time and she also has been at the hospital for a surgery, I think that delays are acceptable for now. Let's see how this mess evolve in the next week, before posting a final judgement on her customer service.

A follow up on this post:

Lucy and I agreed on a solution.

A cocktail of unfortunate events, which can happen and are not always in the hands and control of the TD, caused 1 my package to be stolen and 2 a delay in email reply.

As I mentioned before, I've bought more watches via Lucy, she just simply didn't knew I was the one with this account on the forum.

Just want to say it again: she will always find the best picks and therefore is worth the wait.

She's promised to jump on emails quicker to avoid any drama. She'll be putting in more time to reply, fingers crossed her health allows for it.

Anyway, just wanted to end on a positive note.

FYI: Lucy will be on holiday from Feb 4th - Feb 20th, so expect a little less communication during that time.
