I shipped my Omega to Secaucus NJ for in warranty service using USPS. I sent it with signature confirmation. Today when I tracked it the status is "Ready for pickup". Since it is signature confirmation I'm concerned that it is sitting at the post office, perhaps they delivered a slip to the facility, but is Omega/Swatch going to bother to go pick it up? Has anyone ever had this experience shipping their watch in? Here is the full tracking status:

Did you try calling the service facility? You might want to ask them the same question you're asking of us.

 

I did call the service facility, they are closed for the day. Searched the forum and didn't find any results similar to mine.

 

The sun'll come out tomorrow
So you got to hang on till' tomorrow, come what may!
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow
You're always a day away

…. gee, why did that song just pop into my head?

 

Thank you for your insightful and informed reply.

 

Cheenah, we would all love to beam our watches in for service, have the robots replicate the necessary parts and complete the service/repairs, and then beam them back to us by dinner.

Sadly, that's not reality yet. Did you know that I waited about a year (twice!) for restoration and service from Jaeger LeCoultre in LeSentier? Well, now you do.

A year.

Give or take a few weeks.

For each watch.

I survived.

So will you.

 

So they're just closed today, right? ... if the package is available for pickup, then seems the guys should get it when the facility opens

you don't even need to patient with this ...

 

Yeah ... A friend works in the area and was complaining bitterly!!!! Traffic is CRAZY SLOW beyond the expected delays we'd think.
