Shipping & Returns
Below are some common questions about shipping, returns, and exchanges
When will my order be shipped?
All Watchbrick watches are made to order. Production begins once your order is received and typically takes 4–6 business days before shipping.
How long does shipping take?
We mainly offer worldwide express shipping. Most orders are delivered within DHL EXPRESS 6–14 business days. You'll receive full tracking details once your watch ships.
More Information about Shipping Policy.
Why does my DHL tracking only show “Shipment information received”?
This status appears right after dispatch. Your parcel has already been handed over to DHL, but because we ship in bulk via a commercial broker, it may take a few days before DHL scans and updates the system. During peak seasons or Hong Kong hub congestion, this delay is normal. Please note that such delays are caused by DHL’s handling process and are beyond our control.
How long is shipping to the US? Any duties?
Due to recent changes in U.S. import regulations, all orders shipped via DHL to the United States may incur an import duty of approximately$30 USD, payable by the customer. Once your order is dispatched,DHL will contact you directly(via SMS or email) with a payment link. Please ensure the duty is paidwithin 5 daysto avoid your parcel being returned to Hong Kong. If unpaid, the package will be automatically returned, and any re-shipping costs may be your responsibility. We’re unable to mark packages as gifts or under-declare values due to customs compliance.
Where are you located and where do you ship from?
We operate two workshops — one in Hong Kong and one in Gold Coast, Australia. Most orders are shipped from our Hong Kong workshop, where components are stocked and assembled, to reduce cost and shipping time.
What is your return policy?
Since all watches are made to order, we only accept returns for defective products. If there’s an issue, please contact us within 24 Hours of receiving your item. More Info Policy Of Refund

What is a Seiko Mod, and is it a real Seiko?
A Seiko Mod is part of a new watch customization culture — using Seiko automatic or quartz movements (like NH34 or NH35/72 and VK63) and pairing them with high-quality aftermarket custom cases, dials, and bezels to create a one-of-a-kind timepiece.
It’s not an official Seiko product, but it carries the heart of Seiko craftsmanship in a fully personalized design.

Are these water-resistant?
Most Watchbrick watches are water-resistant up to 30 meters (3 ATM). Suitable for everyday use but not for swimming or diving.
