| 28th Nov 2017 | We have introduced free shipping on all our watches, except to rural addresses, as unfortunely it costs a lot extra to courier to these locations. |

| 17th February 2020 | We are currently expecting a delay in getting some watches in stock due to the coronavirus in China. Many of our watches come from China, but chinese workers have been unable to return to work this year after their New Year holidays. We still have a good range in stock and be sure to subscribe to our back in stock email or sms alert if you want to be notified as soon as a particular product is available again. |
| 20th May 2020 | After the Covid-19 crisis everything is back to normal and we are shipping watches again daily. There is a delay in getting some new stock due to international shipping backlogs. |
| 1st August 2020 | We are still experiencing delays in getting new stock from overseas, but please use our out of stock alert feature to let us know what you would like back in stock and to be automatically notified when it does arrive back in stock. |

| 15th November 2020 | We have switched to using Courier Post for all our deliveries as they are able to deliver to PO Boxes and Rural addresses end to end. They provide a very efficient service with some deliveries arriving in 1 day! |
