Wow! you guys got some fast tracking compared to mine. I ordered and paid in full on 3rd. Got QC pic/vid on same day and approved it. I had to email Steve for tracking info and on the 7th he emailed me USPS tracking number with the watch in its cover and picture of the USPS label next to it. It's the 15th and still no update on USPS or LTexp site.


@silentelephant @Evox Are you guys typing the USPS tracking number on the LTexp site or there is another tracking number you guys are using for that site? Hopefully Steve was able to ship the watch out as he had it on hand/in stock at the time of purchase.

Strange.

Yeah, the USPS tracking number is the one that you use. Is it showing up on the USPS website? If the label was created the USPS website should reflect at least that.

Keep in mind that the Chinese New Year is a HUGE deal in China.

"Shipping delays​

Since the Chinese New Year shutdown happens every year, most businesses do their best to prepare for the factories’ time-out by increasing their production before the holiday.

This can often lead to an overload of shipments that need to be made right before the holiday begins. Factor in the chance that many workers will be leaving early to get a head start on their holiday, meaning fewer employees in the weeks leading up to the Chinese New Year, and there’s a good chance your shipment could be delayed in the buildup." ---https://www.shipbob.com/blog/chines...023 timeline,be closed throughout the holiday.

Mine is scheduled for delivery on Tuesday as I thought. It arrived at a distribution center near me at 6 AM. I thought there was a slim chance it might have been delivered today since it was so close, but no such luck.

For me on the USPS site all it says is "USPS Currently Awaiting Package. A status update is not yet available for your package. It will be available when the shipper provides an update or the package is delivered to USPS. Check back soon." and nothing else. On LTexp/17Track site it just says "The carrier hasn't updated any tracking result or the tracking number/carrier info is incorrect."

Yours and mine were probably must have been "shipped" within a few days of each other. I see that on your USPS it at least says the "Shipping Label Created" on 1/3/23.

I want to buy new straps possibly leather/rubber straps for the watch but don't want to start buying stuff for the watch until at least something gets updated on the shipping. I understand the holidays but if it was dropped off on the 7th at least 1 update would have been nice. Also if the shipping label was printed from USPS site, it would definitely have said something about "Shipping Label Created".

All USPS website will show is some variation of that same message until it's cleared customs. You're using this website right? https://www.trackingmore.com/ltexp-tracking.html

Yup I used that link above as the email Steve sent me had the 17Track link. Even on the link you sent me it still says "No Information yet." I'll email Steve and see if it was actually dropped off at the shipping facilities and maybe they are just closed a few weeks before the holidays. I guess I'll just have to be patient and trust the process that it will eventually get here in Feb at this rate lol.

Probably won't be different but you could always try ltexp.com.cn and put your USPS number in there, alternatively you might want to try and see if the number works in DHL E-commerce tracking, my first order from Steve went through DHL, my second went through LTexp, there was only about 2 weeks between the orders


From what I understand Steve hands it off to a logistics company who will try and find a flight for your package, it could simply be the Logistics company is swamped with outgoing orders before the CNY but I'd give checking it up with DHL a try

I know, it can drive you crazy.

But at this point there is nothing that can be done. It will arrive when it arrives. I was were you are right now, not a week ago. I'm betting it leaves China this week and will be in customs before Friday.

If it was handed off to the shippers in China it's out of Steve's hands. He only has access to the same systems you have access to. There is nothing that can be done except to let it play out. My best advice is to try to forget about it (I know writing that seems a bit hypocritical, it's easier said than done).

When you get that first USPS update you'll be happily surprised and relieved.

Nope nothing on the DHL E-commerce nor the other site. It's just weird to me that my tracking doesn't even have at least the "Shipping Label Created" part. I think that's what makes it weird after over a week. I'll email Steve and just confirm with him that if he was able to at least hand it off to a logistics company. If that's the case then I'll just wait it out.

I should have ordered it back in early Dec when I had my eyes set on the Yacht-Master but couldn't decide between blue or the gray dial (ended up with gray as my brother already bought blue from Lucy). I will just sit back and ignore it and just check up on the tracking once a week. I have already made up my mind that with the CNY around the corner, I'm going to get it in Feb.

BTW that GMT II you got this weeks looks very nice!

On Tuesday lets see some pics of yours Evox when you get it.

Thanks! I'm loving it so far!

And hit Steve up on WhatsApp it's usually the fastest method of communication, I can't think of a time where it took more than 10 minutes for an answer back
