This might not be good for Classic Watch Repair

Apparently USPS has put a hold on delivering packages from Hong Kong and China. I have had several items repaired by Michael Young and that would suck if you had something in transit right now.

DHL could become the prime courier for China Post.

DHL simply transits overseas and clears customs and then last mile is USPS.

I was going to send a 7206 over there. Me and RW don’t see eye to eye so who else could I use?

It’s a 62, I guess I could try to find a nicer one instead?

Apparently, USPS is accepting packages again. It's just total chaos these days, policies changing faster than the weather.

1963 PCG 7928 I snagged the head only from linesiders. My favorite watch, I have a later bracelet to wear it on… sorry for the CVS background lol.

I need to get this band fixed, when I heard about this I panicked since I was about to send the bracelet to MY.

I didn’t realize how stretched it was when I bought it, I should have asked for better pictures of it.

Yes - and as it now turns out, the whole thing was a 24-hr. "Tempest in a Teapot"

Did USPS block shipments again, Adam?

[edit: oops, now that read the article more closely, I see your point.]
