This question is for any one that lives in the U.S. particularly Southern Calif. Anyone that has ordered a watch through Gnomon. The shipping process said it is through SPEEDPOST I have never heard of them or saw their trucks anywhere, do they actually deliver here in the U.S. or do they turn the merchandise over to the USPS or UPS or DHL for delivery. Status said it was handed over to the airline and it stops there anyone with knowledge/process of how shipping works.
Thanks
BK

"Speedpost" is a courier service offered by the Singapore Post Office. They also have a "tracking" system for customers, senders and receivers, to track the whereabouts of their packages - similar to that offered by Fedex, UPS, etc and the packages are delivered by the destination Post Office.

I find them reliable as I have received packages sent by them. Do check out their website : http://www.speedpost.com.sg

Hope this helps and eases your mind.

Thanx P862, I had never heard of them before, usually, it's a Fedex or DHL truck that stops at my house. I guess I will have to check their site for an update.

Bonekrusher - agree..."Speedpost" is a service offered by the Singapore post office.  I have always found that your package will be delivered to you in the US by the US Postal Service (and I have had many delivered).

also...service from Gnomon is always first rate and very quick!!!

When you say the US Postal Service delivers, do you mean they knock on your door like UPS to have you sign for it, or they just put it in your mailbox or on your front porch.

Generally, if the sender paid for insurance, the receiver has to sign for the package.

Also, if the person is not at home to sign for the package the post person will leave a pickup slip at the residence. Then you need to go to your post office to pick it up.

Shipments from Japan are sitting on rockets!
I experienced: From delivery to departure from Tokyo: 24hours
From Tokyo to Oslo : 24hours
From Oslo to my home(1500km), 3 days...

For a moment, Bonekrusher, I thought I was seeing a reflection of myself.
Don't worry mate. Its just some random checks. There has been much delay for shipments to the USA due to the recent bomb scare in the post.

Sincerely
Dievas Watch Company
