1-3 weeks!?!? That doesn't seem consistent with the stereotype of Asians being insanely workaholic.
Do they work like maniacs all year and finally take off for this primary holiday? I'm admittedly an idiot on Chinese culture in general.

Increased China to US shipping costs could be coming soon. Another step was taken this month.
The other way to look at this is that you might actually WANT TO WAIT; seeing as that many China based sites announce varying CNY discounts while they're closed for the holiday.
Yup. China disappears in the month of February
That makes it a good day to pick up a Hamilton Khaki King Automatic for $315.
I did the same thing this afternoon for a Sharkey Tuna in yellow. In before the Chinese New Year lock out! That code NEWS15 plus some eBay bucks brought down to under $150.KarmaToBurn wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 12:57 pmYup. China disappears in the month of February
I just placed my order for a blue Sharkey CW Trident homage. I was on the fence about ordering but I remembered that my large collection doesn't have a blue watch or one with a wave dial and that's all the excuse I needed

Use an agent like SuperBuy to purchase things from TaoBao. They don't charge any commission. The shipping prices mentioned above are from SuperBuy using simple (trackable) China Post.
You can pay the agent with Paypal and therefore enjoy the protection that Paypal offers.
Well, now at least you know! And so that I don't get accused that I didn't tell you also: Buy Bitcoin!KarmaToBurn wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 2:59 pmthedius wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 2:49 pm Guys, why do you spend more $$$ buying sharkey's off ebay and Ali and not directly from TaoBao through an agent?

I did it because I couldn't find them on Taobao. If you had posted your link yesterday you would have saved $27
