The seller does sound flippant and seems like kind of a jerk. I would be livid if I was gouged $100 for expedited shipping and it was sent USPS priority mail.

But just so y'all know, FedEx overnight does NOT include Saturday delivery. Even using the most expensive FedEx priority overnight service, drop off on Friday = Monday delivery. If you want Saturday delivery, there's an additional surcharge, normally about $15-20.

This can be filed into the "advice given too late to matter" but you can always create a FedEx label yourself. Email it to the seller and have him or her use your label to send the watch to you.

It's not ideal if the watch gets lost or damaged in transit then it becomes your problem as the "shipper" on record. But it's an option.

Leaving work now to go get it. Will record myself opening the box.

Just move on from the whole ordeal and enjoy the watch.

Might want to keep the $61 worth of packing material.
Glad it finally worked out for you. Enjoy the weekend with the new watch!!

HAHA! No problem, I'll send you a check.

Glad to get some laughs out of this shit show.

You should see the text message thread between the seller and myself, it's full of suspense and hilarity!

Chiboy · 4 August 2018, 05:43 AM

Hmmm, I can't see the video, but really glad it worked out. Are you going to mention who the seller is who charges $100 for a $39 shipping ticket? Glad that's the worst of it.

Sorry that some are having trouble with the video.

I couldn't see the video using safari but it worked in chrome. So for all that can't see, try chrome.

imperio · 4 August 2018, 06:06 AM

Nice watch! Looks like the watch been running for the past week? What's the power reserve on this watch?

imperio · 4 August 2018, 06:08 AM

Oh my bad, it's an automatic. I assumed it was a manual wind.

HarryLime · 4 August 2018, 06:41 AM

Damn it looks nice. Surely worth the wait.

SG56 · 4 August 2018, 07:30 AM

Very nice and so happy to see it arrived!

Congratulations. It's on my list!

MinMay · 4 August 2018, 09:25 AM

I request the name of the seller otherwise I want my 5 minutes of my life back lol

T4ME · 4 August 2018, 10:09 AM

Finally one of these stories that ends the way it should.

Time4aRolex · 4 August 2018, 10:32 AM

Congratulations on the watch.

Oh. For the $61 box and bubble wrap. The box cost was free - it was a priority mail box.

Dude still owes you some bucks.

subtona · 4 August 2018, 02:04 PM

Glad the watch arrived.

the difference in shipping is a minor number but the deal is a bit tainted, as I said earlier, imho there should be a good will offer of a return of the full shipping paid of $100 for not following through on the agreement. Anything less is simply bad form. If the seller is reading, it’s the right thing to do. The OP has given you the courtesy of keeping your name off the thread. Do the right thing.

Enjoy your lovely speedy

GB-man · 4 August 2018, 04:08 PM

That’s a relief. Gorgeous watch congratulations. Nice video edits as well haha

cda555 · 4 August 2018, 05:17 PM

I still think the seller should be named. Shady stuff. Congrats on a great watch.

I’m glad the deal worked out. Nice relief.

None the less shipping is part of the deal / transaction consideration and should ALWAYS be honored in favor of the buyer. You should definitely be refunded your excess shipping charge. It’s total BS if he doesn’t.

joli160 · 4 August 2018, 07:35 PM

Both agreed on 100$ shipping costs, buyer received a good watch, what is exactly the problem

It doesn't like $61 worth of well packaged though; still, glad it's worked out for the buyer.

The buyer paid $100 for shipping via Fedex and instead received shipping via USPS, and the shipping receipt showed a cost of $39...
