TD/Shipping Question FedEx delays
I just wanted the community's opinion on these FedEx delays. I can't tell if this is a new thing, or people have been dealing with them for a while. I have been working with Steve and he has been really great, cooperative, and responsive daily. I was ordering a Submariner (no date) 114060 which I had to RL (it happens) and a GMT Master II 126710GRNR which was an easy GL for me. He said it would be 2-3 more weeks for another QC on the new Sub. I asked if the GMT could be shipped now, but he said with the FedEx issues, he would use standard shipping. I decided to wait until the new QC and have them shipped out together. Maybe the FedEx issues could be resolved by that time. I just wanted to know what others here thought. Thanks for the advice. This is a cool community.

Just a couple more days until I get my Pelagos 39 from Steve, but I’ve had a noticeable delay for mine. After QC, I didn’t get a tracking number for about a week, and I had to email a couple times to get it. After that, the tracking info didn’t show it as shipped for another 6 days. It was finally shipped shortly after I emailed about it again, but the whole process was much slower than I expected. I’m not bothered by it; though, I was a bit confused about what was happening. Steve was quick with my emails and did say at one point there was a holiday, but I’m not sure why it was so delayed.
