MEHU, your watch was delivered just down the road from me, you must have got my postcode wrong!


Now I expect the transfer of Great Britain to the France, but the hardest is passed. :)

My last one took under 3 days, the one before took 10. I've seen some people post that they've cleared customs in a day recently, and others who have waited over two weeks!

You just have to wait it out and be patient.

Cheers

Just had two arrive from Singapore in 3days. These were delivered by royal mail and not parcel force, this clearly was not subject to the same strict customs inspection I suppose?? Or the so called backlog.

It has only been there 2 days, relax!

Things seem to have started moving more quickly recently, but you could easily be waiting another week.

You just have to wait it out and don't be tempted to try to try to speed things up by phoning or emailing.

Maybe when it has been 3 weeks start to get concerned.

Yeah nothing to worry about, I ordered a week or so back and the olympics did influence it to take a bit longer, received it in good order.

Mine was handed over to customs Friday afternoon and was just released today at lunch.

Can't wait for it now. Trevor has been great from start to finish.

Mine was released today, much quicker than anticipated after reading some of the recent posts about lengthy delays due to the Olympics starting and customs being tightened up. I have been dealing with MR and he has been absolutely superb throughout. Should be here soon hopefully!

Reading the last few posts it looks like I'm unlucky, over 3 weeks now:

Date/Time Location Activity
2012-07-05 19:02:00 City of Guangzhou Posting
2012-07-05 19:23:00 City of Guangzhou Despatch from Sorting Center
2012-07-05 20:24:00 GUANGZHOU Arrival at Sorting Center
2012-07-05 21:57:00 GUANGZHOU Despatch from Sorting Center
2012-07-08 18:01:00 UNITED KINGDOM COVENTRY PARCELFORCE Arrival at Sorting Center
2012-07-08 18:02:00 UNITED KINGDOM COVENTRY PARCELFORCE Handed over to Customs

Hoping this is just bad timing with the Olympics. Anyone else had one held this long?
