tinkrbel Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 THANKS. I had seen this a while back but didn't need any when coworker asked about HK watch I hoped this was still available. Now I have to go look at jack skellington one someone else mentioned :)
sewblessed7 Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Mine shipped on October 14th. I have ordered many times from over seas so I understand the long shipping wait. However, it's been 6 1/2 weeks! At what point do I say it's been too long?
flychild7 Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 This reminded me that I ordered some and have not gotten them yet.
erinplus3 Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Do you think if I ordered now, I would get these in time for Christmas?
tinkrbel Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Based on sites listed 15-20 days yes but based on some ppls experience maybe not.
duckin22 Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I ordered on Oct 14 and still havent received mine!
1josh Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 My sister placed an order on Nov 4th and the tracking info said that on Nov7th it was somewhere in the US; she ended up receiving her order on the 26th. The delay seems to be, in this case, here in the US and not the company itself. I placed an order yesterday and I received the shipping info today. I picked EMS as shipping option and according to the information on the email it takes 3-6 business days worldwide. Perhaps this option will turn out quicker. I ordered the Portable Stainless Steel LED Wrist Watch (Silver) $4.20 http://www.focalprice.com//templates/images/blank.gif
jsett Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I also ordered on Oct 14th and just received mine this last Friday (Nov 26th.) I was pretty worried and kept in touch with the customer service rep who kept telling me that it would be there in a few days for the last 2 weeks. I don't think I would order from their site again. I've ordered a lot from overseas and this is the longest I have ever waited. The most I was offered as compensation (when I was convinced the order was lost) was a coupon for their site.
Ginny123 Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Soooooooooo glad I read the comments on this thread b4 ordering. NO THANKS!
StaceyS Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 my acct says my order was shipped 10/21...still not here and NO reply from cs there!
momof5kiddos Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I ordered my first order on Nov 3rd and it arrived Nov 23 I ordered again on the 23rd I hope it makes it for christmas. I was happy with my first order.
momof5kiddos Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I was surprised that I had to go to the post office to pick it up, it had to be signed for. I had a postcard that said I had a package at the post office to pick up.
1josh Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 my acct says my order was shipped 10/21...still not here and NO reply from cs there!Put the Tracking number on the UPS page. See if anything shows up
anlashokna Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I was going to give it as a gift but after having it here for one month hello kitty watch is dead. Anyone else have that issue? Not sure if I want to waste money on a battery hoping that is the problem or not.
tinkrbel Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I'm crossing my fingers for delivery before Christmas but I know there's no guarantee AND a good chance it may not make it before then. I've been very spoiled by Amazon Prime.
1angelnhvn Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Going to double check mine and see if they are still ticking or not, that is, if I remember where I stashed them..hmmmm. We used to live overseas so you can bet on a good month regular cheap mail (well, not cheap as shipping anything overseas package-wise is not cheap) at least to get them. If you need them quickly, definitely upgrade shipping if it's available. Mine only took 3 weeks to get here.
StaceyS Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 No tracking number...says no tracking numbers on orders less than $20. CS sentme a message to my acct there but not to my email (??) and says to check with my PO. I never received a post card or anything saying I had a package to pick up. I am filing dispute with PP. Granted it was only a $2 item, but still...this is terrible business practice IMO.
raven20_79 Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I ordered on 10/13/10. I still haven't received anything. I emailed customer service on 11/19/10 to let them know. They responded on 11/22/10 telling me to wait an additional 1 to 2 weeks to see if I get anything. I waited a week, and emailed them again last night. I told them that this was beginning to become a huge hassle. Their response? They told me that it must have gotten lost in the mail, and that they could send me a new one if I wanted them to. Ugh. Will not order from them again. I have ordered many things from China, Hong Kong, Japan, and the like, and it has NEVER taken this long.
Finnegan Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 I ordered in October and two watches arrived in less than 3 weeks. I did not have to sign for them at the PO, they just arrived in a manilla envelope. One did not have the stemmed pulled so was ticking. The other stem was pulled but worked when i pushed it in. The are beautiful and I am so far quite happy with them. If you get yours, be sure the stems are pulled out so you don't waste the battery for a month before Christmas!
mrsnelson16 Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 I ordered 5 on Nov 2nd. They shipped Nov. 3rd and I received my watches on Nov. 29th. I am sooooo impressed with the quality. What a great find !!!! Thank you for sharing.
mhartel1 Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 sooo.. i ordered through paypal.. my cc had expired so all i had was the echeck feature... got an error message saying that it didn't go through went back added a cc and then reordered. few hrs later I checked my email and saw 2 confirmations.. the same order was placed 2x and paypal has the echeck one pending - it takes like 3 days to go through - and the cc one processed and done. called paypal cause it was really a problem with their dsite.they told me that i needed to contacted the seller as there was no way that they could cancel my transaction. emailed seller 2 x - did a rma and everything - says they will respond in 24 hrs and of course nothing. i am fine with 1 order - but there was about 12 watches and i really dont want 24 of them...what can i do??? The same thing happened to me. I contacted them via a message on the 2nd order and they offered to refund my money or ship me the 2nd order. I only ordered 2 watches so I had them send me the 2nd order. Since they are overseas it took a full day to get replies as we went back & forth.
readhed Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 I placed an order on Nov. 3 and got it yesterday. I have ordered from China before and didn't expect any communication(never got an order confirmation or shipment notice) and only hoped it would arrive before the holidays. Very surprised it came so soon! The Hello Kitty watches are nice for under $3, but I think they look like about $10 watches. Really happy with the earphones I ordered which look and sound like the original Apple ones which my kids burn thru quickly. I went back and ordered more today. For under $3 they are a steal!
raven20_79 Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 I received an email from them this morning telling me that they want me to pay an additional charge to get them to resend me the watch I never received. I emailed them back that if they can't resend the watch without charging me for someone else's mistake, that I would rather have my money refunded to me. (I swear...I haven't had very much luck this year with ordering things online.)
jsett Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 The fact that it took so long was only part of the problem for me. They did eventually show up so that wouldn't have barred me from ordering again in and of itself (although, I have ordered plenty from overseas and it's never taken this long.) What really left a bad taste was the fact that the most they offered as far as compensation for my potentially lost order was a coupon for the value of my purchase for their site that I would pay back if my items showed up. Customer service seemed plenty nice enough but not nearly adequate. In other news, I just got my Swiss Colony order with the freebies so I guess you just can't win them all.
nef Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 I ordered my watches on 11/11 and they just came via the mail man. I had to sign for them. I ordered 12, but mine are for all the birthday parties little one gets invited too, so I was okay if they took a while to get here.
peppysfireball Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 Mine shipped on October 14th. I have ordered many times from over seas so I understand the long shipping wait. However, it's been 6 1/2 weeks! At what point do I say it's been too long?[i can send a package to my son in Iraq and he has it in a little over a week. I would say too long. I thought about ordering, but ordered from an ebay seller instead . Little bit higher, but got two gorgeous hannah montana watches for 6.50 apiece.
Shortness Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 I ordered mine on Nov. 17 and got them November 30. Much faster than I expected after reading all the posts. Stupid me, however, was cutting open the very top of the envelope, because I couldn't get it to tear, and I snipped off the end of one of the bands. Only one was in a little box, the others just in a plastic slip with no padding, and didn't feel it up there. My fault though I guess, just don't know how else I could have done it. I think I can just shape it a little though and it'll be fine. I'm happy with the order and think they're going to be great stocking stuffers.
laniebean Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 I ordered nov 16 and got them today ( dec.3) they are so cute I got hello kitty a monkey and toy story...
blued79 Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 Ordered 25 for my students. Ordered on 11/4 and still waiting for the watches! Very frustrating cuz I'm gonna have to find something else for them for Christmas. What am I gonna do when I get the 25 watches after Christmas??? Ugh!
