SHIPPING POLICY
Thank you for shopping with The Watch Broker. We take particular care in preparing, securing, and shipping every watch so that your order reaches you safely.
This Shipping Policy explains our estimated delivery times, order tracking, international shipments, and other important information regarding the delivery of your order.
1. Order Processing
Once your payment has been successfully confirmed, your order will be prepared for shipment.
Before dispatch, additional time may be required to prepare, inspect, securely package, and process your watch for delivery.
Orders placed on weekends or public holidays will generally begin processing on the next business day.
During periods of high demand, promotions, holidays, or exceptional circumstances, processing may occasionally take longer.
2. Estimated Delivery Time
Our estimated delivery time is:
7–10 business days
Delivery estimates are provided in good faith and may vary depending on the destination, carrier, customs procedures, public holidays, weather conditions, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.
Business days generally exclude weekends and public holidays.
3. United States Shipping
The Watch Broker ships orders to customers in the United States.
The estimated delivery time is generally:
7–10 business days
Depending on the destination and circumstances of the shipment, delivery may occasionally take longer.
Where applicable, tracking information will be provided once the order has been dispatched.
4. International Shipping
The Watch Broker may ship to selected countries outside the United States.
Delivery times may vary depending on the destination, customs processing, local carriers, and other logistical factors.
Available shipping methods and any applicable shipping charges will be displayed during checkout where available.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that the products they purchase can legally be imported into their destination country.
5. Shipping Costs
Applicable shipping costs, if any, will be displayed during checkout before you complete your purchase.
The final shipping amount applicable to your order will be shown before payment is confirmed.
Any promotional or complimentary shipping offer will be subject to the conditions displayed on our website at the time of purchase.
6. Order Tracking
Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information, where tracking is available.
Please allow some time after receiving your shipping confirmation for the carrier's tracking system to update.
Tracking updates are provided by the carrier and may occasionally experience delays.
7. Secure Packaging
Luxury watches require particular care during transportation.
Orders from The Watch Broker are carefully packaged to help protect the watch during transit.
Depending on the watch purchased, the shipment may also include accessories, documentation, boxes, or other items specified in the applicable product listing.
For security reasons, outer packaging may be discreet and may not prominently identify the contents as a luxury watch.
Legally required shipping, carrier, customs, or identification information may nevertheless appear on the package.
8. High-Value Shipments
Because watches can be high-value items, additional delivery measures may be used where appropriate.
Depending on the order, destination, and shipping provider, these measures may include:
-
Shipment tracking
-
Insurance where applicable
-
Signature upon delivery
-
Identity or delivery verification where required
-
Additional carrier security procedures
Customers should ensure that someone is available to receive the shipment when a signature is required.
9. Customs, Duties and Import Taxes
International orders may be subject to customs inspections, import duties, VAT, taxes, brokerage charges, or other fees imposed by the destination country.
Where these charges are not collected during checkout, they may be payable by the recipient upon arrival.
Customers are responsible for understanding any applicable import requirements in their country.
The Watch Broker is not responsible for customs delays or charges imposed by local authorities except where applicable law requires otherwise.
10. Incorrect or Incomplete Shipping Address
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address when placing an order.
Please carefully review your delivery information before completing your purchase.
If you notice an error after placing your order, contact us as soon as possible at:

We will make reasonable efforts to correct the information before shipment, but we cannot guarantee that an address can be changed once an order has been processed or dispatched.
11. Delivery Delays
Occasional delays may occur due to circumstances such as:
If your tracking information has not been updated for an unusually long period or your order appears significantly delayed beyond the estimated 7–10 business days, please contact us at contact@thewatchbroker.com.
We will review the available shipping information and assist you where reasonably possible.
