it's going to be a long day :(
We can all relate to the excitement on the day our new watch is to arrive. To my horror when I tracked the FedEx package, it is going to the wrong city.
I asked the seller to ship to my work but in my excitement I inadvertently gave my home zip code Apparently it's not as simple as placing a call and updating the address due to safety restrictions on the package. I feel bad especially to the seller who is trying to sort it all out. I hope my watch will be OK |

Sorry to hear of your temporary dilemma...the delay will just make the receipt of the watch sweeter I hope
I know the seller's dilemma, too. Sold a Sub to a guy in Florida and he used PayPal for his own security...I shipped to his verified address (his office)...but he forgot that he had moved offices down the street a couple of miles but never updated PayPal. Luckily he picked up the undeliverable package from FedEx later that day. Maybe that'll be an option for you? They usually hold undeliverables for the recipient at the local distribution center as long as you have ID...

Thanks for the all the positive vibes; the package is now waiting for me at the local FedEx office
Here's a pic from the seller of my first vintage. I'm really digging the orange lume. |

I had some ebayers do that in the past...not updating their shipping addy on eBay but doing so on PayPal. It's a pain to fix if its even possible.
Beautiful watch btw! Sent from my using Tapatalk

I felt terrible for the seller. After over an hour with FedEx he was unable to change the zip code. I'm glad the local facility was great.
