Delivering a luxury timepiece requires the same meticulous attention to detail as the horological engineering inside it. At LuxuryTime, we partner exclusively with elite, specialized courier networks to ensure that your acquisition arrives securely, discreetly, and promptly. This policy outlines our dispatch procedures, transit insurance coverage, and required delivery protocols.

1. Order Processing and Dispatch

Upon successful payment authorization, all orders enter our mandatory verification and quality control phase. This process involves a final aesthetic and mechanical inspection by our watchmakers, as well as strict anti-fraud verification by our compliance team.

• Processing Time: Standard order processing takes between 1 to 3 business days. If your order requires additional security clearance (such as address verification for high-value wire transfers), dispatch may be marginally delayed.
• Dispatch Notification: Once your timepiece is securely packaged and handed over to our courier, you will receive an automated dispatch notification containing your secure tracking details.
• Business Days: Please note that processing and dispatch operations occur strictly on standard business days (Monday through Friday), excluding national statutory holidays.

2. Insured Armored Transit

To protect your investment from the moment it leaves our vault until it reaches your hands, every shipment is comprehensively insured for its full replacement value.

We utilize discreet, tamper-evident packaging that obscures the high-value nature of the contents, deterring theft or interception. Because of our insurance mandates, we cannot ship to P.O. Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or unstaffed parcel lockers. All deliveries must be routed to a verifiable residential or commercial address.

3. Delivery Signature Requirements

Given the substantial value of our inventory, absolute security at the point of delivery is non-negotiable.

• Direct Signature Required: Every delivery mandates a direct, adult signature. Packages cannot be left unattended on porches, with neighbors, or redirected in transit without explicit authorization from our logistics desk.
• Identification Verification: Our courier partners reserve the right to request a valid, government-issued photo ID matching the name on the shipping manifest before relinquishing the package.
• Missed Deliveries: If you are unavailable to sign for the package, the courier will leave a notice and attempt delivery on the next business day. Following multiple failed attempts, the package will be securely returned to our facility, and a redelivery fee may apply.

4. International Shipping & Customs Declarations

LuxuryTime proudly serves a global clientele. However, international transit introduces specific legal and logistical parameters that buyers must acknowledge.

All international shipments are dispatched on a Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis. This means that the listed retail price does not include your local customs duties, import tariffs, or value-added taxes (VAT). The buyer acts as the importer of record and assumes full responsibility for any charges levied by their national customs authority.

In strict compliance with international trade laws, we declare all items at their exact purchase value. We will not, under any circumstances, designate a purchase as a "gift," falsify the item description, or under-declare the invoice value to bypass customs fees. Delays caused by customs processing are entirely outside our operational control.

5. Risk of Loss

LuxuryTime bears all risk of loss or damage while the timepiece is in transit. The risk of loss fully transfers to the buyer the moment the package is signed for at the designated delivery address. We strongly advise inspecting the tamper-evident seals upon arrival before providing a signature.
