I can’t speak to why he isn’t a TD but rest assured you’re not alone in waiting for Eric’s bottom-of-the-barrel shipping choice. LEXP will get your watch to you but you will need to wait at least a couple of weeks to see any kind of movement on your tracking. Be sure to track using the link he sends you rather than using USPS. Your package is definitely not in Jamaica, NY 😏. Anyhoo, welcome!

Yeah I noticed that. I’m concerned now about my order. Do you know why he isn’t? I’ve only heard good things about him. Only issue seems to be his shipping method -.-
I’ve bought from Geektime over a dozen times. Never an issue. Just letting you know he’s not an RWI TD and if, by chance, there is an issue, then you will get no support from RWI. I believe he is a TD on RWG but I could be mistaken.

I’ve bought from Geektime a few times just fine. I think shipping times are a crapshoot with China. Eric seems to be easiest to deal with on WhatsApp and he will give you a better deal if you buy a couple watches

Hey there! Welcome to the forum - I'm also here from the subreddit.

I think it's interesting that Eric from Geektime is a TD at some places but not at others - you'd think that various groups would adopt a master list of trusted dealers, but oh well. I personally have never ordered from any TD, my first and only watch so far is from BST, but everything I've heard from Eric has been nothing short of what I would expect from a TD to do.

Enjoy your stay and wear your watch in good health once it comes in!

No, that's not how it works. We would never accept someone as a TD just because they are trusted elsewhere, we take the granting of TD status very seriously. A lot more seriously than some places. It can take months at the very least to become a TD here, we do blind buys to test out their service, we ask a lot of questions and we do a lot of training so a TD knows what we expect from them. T
"TD" is so much more than just a title here.

And this ^^^^^^ is why I only use RWI's trusted dealers.
