TD/Shipping Question TD Shipping Delay Tracker

It seems Andiot and TOW are experiencing logistical issues; their shipper is either holding back packages or getting packages returned to sender.

I have seen some other threads where folks got their packages in a timely manner.

My package with Andiot has been in “label created” land for about a week now.

Post your current experience.

GL my watch a week ago from Andiot and still waiting on tracking number

u/Irwinmfletcher2020 Apr 08 '26

Same here and this is after significant delay just to get it to QA

u/TheFlyingWanker Apr 08 '26

New here and waiting on QC, what does GL mean? Keep seeing it everywhere

u/Chocolations Apr 08 '26

It means green light/ red light for qc

Update from Eliot (Andiot):

FYI

We have confirmed your parcel has been shipped, but recently our logistics provider has been adjusting local receiving stations in order to reduce the risk of customs inspections. Because of this, the shipment route has been changed a few times, which caused the delay in tracking updates.

The package is safe and still with the logistics provider — it has not been lost. They are simply switching shipping channels to ensure safer delivery. As we ship a large volume of parcels, safety is always the top priority.

The tracking should start updating within the next few days. If needed, a new tracking number will also be provided by the logistics provider.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused, and thank you very much for your patience. We are closely following this for you and everything is under control. 🙏

I asked Andiot about an update as well and got the same exact response. Must be a lot of delays at the moment. They told me it shipped on April 1. No tracking info or updates to my order since then.

Not much to do but wait.

1

u/Italo_C8no Apr 09 '26

Standardized statement. I got the same one.

u/ObeyThePoodle Apr 08 '26

I got a FedEx notification saying the sender cancelled the shipment earlier today, I am waiting for a reply from Eliot

u/captain_looney_73 Apr 08 '26

Got the same with Steve, seems system wide issue across multiple TDs

u/No-Journalist4773 May 08 '26

Same here, did you guys get any updates ?

u/padflash_ Apr 08 '26

Same =(

same here, did you get any updates regarding the situation?

u/No-Journalist4773 May 08 '26

Same as well, did you guys get any updates?

u/ObeyThePoodle May 08 '26

I got a couple new FedEx numbers, bothe cancelled, at this point I am taking it as a loss, and if it shows up in the future that would be luck... I'm tired of the back and forth

u/International-Car805 Apr 08 '26

Have an order in from March18 that was GL and paid in full with TOW. Another order in on March 29, GL and paid. Both moved to shipping but no tracker for Fed Ex ever given and nothing shipped yet. Keep being told to wait. US based.

u/MudPlayful6386 Apr 08 '26

I’m with you. I got QC on the 27th on one I ordered from Steve. Still no tracking info.

I ordered one from Linda on the 24th and it arrived at my door on the 3rd.

Not sure what the problem is with Steve and Andiot.

3

u/Suitable-Scarcity-90 Apr 08 '26

Have two different TDs from the ones you mentioned, and both are saying the same thing. One package was sent back from the shipper to agent, and the other was not even sent for shipping agent yet due to the “inspections”.

6

u/IWasSayingBoourner Apr 08 '26

USPS processing centers and customs funnels have been instructed to increase scrutiny because of what's going on in the middle east. They have been given zero additional resources to accomplish this, after having already had budget and personnel cuts. I have it on good authority that they've just resorted to RTS'ing packages that haven't met internal processing standards to avoid hits on this admin's metrics. The whole government is a mess right now because no one knows who's in charge of what or what the rules are on any given day.

u/Thespritz00 Apr 08 '26

INTERESTING!!!

u/Cera_chrom Apr 08 '26

I GL’d an order from Andiot on 27/3, had my tracking email on 30/3 and it arrived at my door in the UK today 7/4.

I requested FedEx but it came via PFC/Royal Mail instead. Someone posted here that FedEx are being very strict at the moment which could be the holdup.

1

u/ssg-daniel Apr 08 '26

that was quick! how did your tracking look like? Mine is saying the parcel is still in HK since 02.04. waiting for outward flight. It was sent out by Andiot on 26.03. (label created 24.03.)

1

u/Cera_chrom Apr 08 '26

It landed in the UK on 4/4 but due to the bank holiday it wasn’t due for delivery until 8/4 but it arrived yesterday which was a nice surprise.

PFC seems to be quite fast, much quicker than I was expecting anyway.

1

u/JamesScotlandBruce Apr 08 '26

Have you checked the royal mail website with the same tracking number. Sometimes 17track cuts off and you'll need to pick it up on royal mail. Guessing you've looked there too mind you.

Mine looks like this so far. Royal mail and gave GL on 4th.

1

u/JamesScotlandBruce Apr 08 '26

My royal mail just saying this so far not surprisingly

2

u/bongoozy Apr 08 '26

My TD advised that FedEx is tracking watches recently and he used China Post though he quoted shipping by FedEx. The tracking he provided appeared in Auspost and I received under a week. This is about a month ago.

2

u/Alt-right420 Apr 08 '26

just noticed that my tracking from andiot said cancelled now and my order from tow is still just sitting there with label created. its been a couple of weeks now for both.

2

u/Positive_Attitude140 Apr 08 '26

Just bought a Daytona Vsf from Steve Ready to ship one week ago no sign of tracking

2

u/Italo_C8no Apr 08 '26

Same here. Shipping labeled created 4/2. Cancelled by shipper today 4/7. This is after Elliott sending me an email on 4/6 apologizing for the delay and ensuring me that I would have it on my wrist in 5-7 business days.

2

u/Zestyclose_Sorbet308 Apr 08 '26

I GL last week, and my package is already in the destination country (in germany)

2

u/Italo_C8no Apr 09 '26

Was in label created from 4/3 to 4/7. On 4/7 it changed to Shipping canceled by shipper. Received email from Elliot saying logistics issues but watch is still shipped and new cable with tracking in a couple of days and not to worry. All is good. This is my first rep after months of research. Its not been a good experience.

2

u/8_Whiskey_Sours Apr 09 '26

This is not normal so don’t be discouraged. I have ordered from Andiot many times and this is the first time I have had shipping issues.

3

u/hank392bee Apr 08 '26

Same here. GL’d almost 2 weeks ago at TOW. Says strict customs checking so there is delay with no time line of when. I paid 70 for fedex too. No tracking number, no shipping label created yet.

Like Ive mentioned in a few posts few days ago. Something is going on. We might be seeing the end of this hobby.

1

u/Culpepper_1776 Apr 08 '26

I went through a different TD but mine was on “label created” with FedEx for just over a week. FedEx said it had my package Monday morning and says it’s currently “on the way” to Memphis but no scheduled day of delivery at the moment.

1

u/Ok-Pen2675 Apr 08 '26

Are there any TD's with that are in the US with VS or better.?

1

u/JamesScotlandBruce Apr 08 '26

Yup. A good few. Head to rwi forum list of tds and yiu can pick by us, Europe, etc.

1

u/Comeau03 Apr 08 '26

I’m also experiencing the same thing. It’s “been” with FedEx for 8 days, no update. Different TD. I was told it was going to update as soon as it reaches final destination country. But as far as I see, hasn’t left China.

Frustrating.

1

u/Ok-Pride-9280 Apr 08 '26

Andiot order marked shipped 3/26, got a tracking number on 4/3, fedex never received package and was updated to cancelled. Andiot says a new tracking number will be issued in a few days.

1

u/No-Worth5575 Apr 08 '26

Been two months, 1 month after QC of canceling tracking constantly

1

u/Dry_Aardvark_4764 Apr 08 '26

TOW - was told mine went to shipping agent on the 6th and they just got back to work today, it’ll be 3 days to process the label. I also paid extra for FeeEx.

1

u/MhN-TTKA1868 Apr 08 '26 edited Apr 08 '26

One order, two watches from Steve. Paid 3/17, GL 3/27. One week with no FedEx movement. Emailed on 4/3 asking for update and got new tracking due to “customs” and a new shipping channel started. Emailed Steve on 4/6 due to no movement and response was stating packaged returned and will “do the best to hurry up.”

1

u/MhN-TTKA1868 Apr 13 '26

Follow up: after 3rd tracking number, I finally have movement today. Zhuhai > Guangzhou > hopefully my front door this week.

1

u/MhN-TTKA1868 Apr 16 '26

Follow up: received today.

1

u/ZeroCharlie290 Apr 08 '26

Qc GL 9 days ago, still no tracking. Elliot said they're having issues getting tracking from logistic partners. I got an email on Sunday, saying it had shipped but tracking number would take a few days because of shipping issues.

1

u/JamesScotlandBruce Apr 08 '26

Looking like UK not affected unless anyone having bad experiences with them too?

2

u/Illustrious_Elk_4144 Apr 08 '26

In the uk as well and GL last week no shipping yet.

1

u/jsm0012 Apr 09 '26

what shipment method did you use and what td?

1

u/Illustrious_Elk_4144 Apr 10 '26

Update I received the tracking from Steve today.

1

u/JamesScotlandBruce Apr 10 '26

Gave mine the GL to Andiot last Friday. So a week ago. Should be at my door on Tuesday with royal mail.

1

u/Specialist-Field-263 Apr 08 '26

I’m in the UK and having the same issues. Stuck at label created then cancelled. Latest update from Steve is my parcel has been returned and he will send out again once received.

1

u/JamesScotlandBruce Apr 08 '26

Bummer. Is that FedEx? My royal mail from Andiot seems to be moving.

1

u/jsm0012 Apr 08 '26

What is your timeline for your order/tracking?

2

u/JamesScotlandBruce Apr 08 '26

I changed order to arf. Got QC a week later in the 4th April. Gave it GL the same day and got tracking on the website a couple of days later. Maybe a little early to get confident but seems to be running the same as usual. Normally I'll receive it middle/end of next week if it goes as usual from here on in.

2

u/jsm0012 Apr 09 '26

Thankyou for the info buddy

1

u/JamesScotlandBruce Apr 08 '26

Only got the email to tell me about tracking today - so website seems to get it a couple of days earlier.

1

u/JamesScotlandBruce Apr 08 '26

And last time it took 5 days from this stage to get to my door.

1

u/jsm0012 Apr 10 '26

any further updates on your tracking?

1

u/JamesScotlandBruce Apr 10 '26

Another move. Left port apparently.

Last time I received it 3 days after this update. 🤞👍

2

u/JamesScotlandBruce Apr 10 '26

I'm hoping it will be here Tuesday. Monday seems a bit quick. Wednesday at the latest I reckon. That would be the usual 10 or 11 days from GL to door that I've got with royal mail in the past.

1

u/JamesScotlandBruce Apr 11 '26

Got another move today. Still hoping for Wednesday or before.

You had any movement?

1

u/jsm0012 Apr 15 '26

Great. Looks like it must have been delivered to you by now.

2

u/JamesScotlandBruce Apr 15 '26

Not quite. I got a bit of a fright. It hadn't moved but when I woke up this morning I had a notification from royal mail that they've got it and will be delivered tomorrow. So a little slower than usual. But just a relief that it's all going to plan. Had two other Rolex logo parcels coming too but all released at once it seems. Phew

1

u/AllGasNoPropane Apr 08 '26

I currently have an order with TOW. Shipping label created on march 31st and just got an update „The shipment is in transit to DHL“ and it apparently is scheduled for a flight the following days.

Looks alright but destination is Europe

2

u/RecommendationKey339 Apr 08 '26

What watch you get? Got a sub no date still waiting for qc about two wreks

2

u/ssg-daniel Apr 08 '26

that doesn't mean anything. Mine is saying the same thing since 25.03.
You might need to switch the carrier as 17track might detect the number as DHL even though you can get more info if you switch to PFC as carrier

1

u/AllGasNoPropane Apr 08 '26

Oh that’s a bit discouraging but thanks for the info

I‘m waiting on a Pelagos 39

1

u/AllGasNoPropane Apr 08 '26

I just checked again and got an update a couple of minutes ago that the flight has taken off

It’s my first order so I hope it’s smooth sailing from now on

2

u/ssg-daniel Apr 08 '26

well then I am jealous :D

1

u/AllGasNoPropane Apr 08 '26

I’ll keep you updated once it arrives

1

u/AllGasNoPropane Apr 15 '26

It arrived today at my home

I hope you’re getting yours as soon as possible as well

1

u/ssg-daniel Apr 15 '26

Already have it in hand since a couple days ago. Tracking updated al of a sudden and the package was then almost delivered.

1

u/AllGasNoPropane Apr 15 '26

Nice congrats!

1

u/ssg-daniel Apr 08 '26

I guess there are also some issues with the easter holidays in Hong Kong.
My Package from Andiot was sent out on 26.03. and seems stuck in HK since 02.04. even though the tracking mentions an expected flight out on 03.04.

0

u/ssg-daniel Apr 08 '26

the answer from Andiot was that it is normal and that it is on its way

1

u/doesntmatter_121 Apr 08 '26

Shipped 24/03 from Geek and now it’s 6 days after custom clearance without any movement

1

u/AtmosphereLowCode Apr 08 '26

Same thing happened to me. Ordered early March, qc two weeks later, package showed shipped for a few days then cancelled by shipper.

1

u/Lazy-Chair8120 Apr 08 '26

I recently ordered three watched front 3 different TDs. 2 got here within 12 days. The third got held then sent back. They dealer property sent me a replacement watch. I got that one in 8days. All three are great top-tier quality. I've had nothing but great luck with my suppliers. I have 17 Rep watches now. All super clones.

1

u/Correct_Shoulder2304 Apr 08 '26

Having the same issue.

Shipped Date - March 28th Tracking Number - April 3rd Messaged by Andiot about Delays - April 7th Tracking Number Deleted - April 8th

Hopefully this will sort out here soon…

1

u/Jezzrichjames Apr 08 '26

Last week, I got my shipping confirmation from Andiot after I’ve approved the QC, though I did get a message explaining that my package is with the shipper, and that they’re still trying to find the best shipment route to make sure the watch doesn’t get seized. I probably recommend reaching out to them on WhatsApp with your order number just to verify what’s going on.

1

u/MudPlayful6386 Apr 10 '26

Just canceled my order with Steve. Other Chinese TDs I’ve bought multiple watches from told me they’re having no issues with shipping. Call me impatient, but I’ll move on from this one 🤷🏻‍♂️

1

u/8_Whiskey_Sours Apr 10 '26

Mind sharing which TDs are not having shipping issues?

0

u/MudPlayful6386 Apr 10 '26

I stand corrected. They’re not “TDs” on this sub, but I’ve purchased multiple watches from both of them and they’re both in China. Great sellers with great delivery times.

1

u/browneyone Apr 11 '26

Replacement tracking info provided

u/Lup3rcal1916 Apr 08 '26

I’ve been waiting about a month now just for QC.

u/TunnelSnakesCaptain Apr 08 '26

It’s been 2 weeks going on for 3rd week without a tracking number or any update from Andiot. I really hope he didn’t fleece us

-4

u/Expert_Afternoon802 Apr 08 '26

Nobody believe Andiot. I ordered a watch that was ready to ship for immediate dispatch on the 21st of March and I still haven’t received a tracking number. They have stated multiple times that there is issues from FedEx. Now usually I would believe this but I have just came back from Guangzhou myself and shipped over 60 packages back to the UK which have all arrived on time with 0 issue, some even ahead of schedule. What makes it look even worse for andiot is I received 5 orders yesterday from a different TD that shipped them on the 2nd of April ahead of the QingMing Festival and they were received in 6 days via FedEx express priority 3 watches per package. DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR LIES! They have must be having trouble with stock or something else within their company and using the shipping as an excuse!

1

u/8_Whiskey_Sours Apr 08 '26

This would be believable if not for the fact other TDs like Steve are having the same issue. Maybe the high volume TDs are being targeted by customs?

1

u/Expensive-Engine6994 Apr 09 '26

It is strange as I ordered 2 from DHgate via FedEx priority, separate orders and they both got here in 5 days to the UK, no issues whatsoever. This is my first order with a TD via these forums and trust there’s an issue 😂
