Very slow shipping and poor service.
I already own a few Invicta watches and my issue isn't with them exactly, it's with Invicta Stores. So, the good news is the watches are quite good and very good value for money. Their appearance can be a little subjective so buy whichever one floats your boat. But buy them from a local watch shop or even Walmart. If online is your thing, then Amazon or AliX or Jomashop. Anywhere but Invicta Stores. I didn't bother checking reviews before I ordered one but have done so since. It's clear that shipping and customer service are the issues and I can confirm that to be the case. My order has been "processing" for four days now, it hasn't left Invicta and USPS do not yet have the item to ship. And that's for $12 shipping, so I'm not sure what exactly I paid for there since it hasn't yet been shipped. I emailed them and raised it and got a couple of very brusk replies back from an Invicta employee who signed the email as "Anna". I unsure of it a real person or not and don't really care. They were rude messages and they don't make any effort to try and address the question raised, they just fell back on some excuse regarding stated shipping and dispatch times. That demonstrates to me that they know their shipping and service is poor but are not looking to fix either, they just intend to argue about it. I'm not a huge fan of being spoken to that way by a company that I'm a customer of and won't allow it to happen again. So, by all means buy an Invicta watch, just buy it from a third party vendor and not these people. Unless you are happy to pay a high price for shipping that then takes forever and don't expect a polite response if you raise it. I won't be using them again. First Update. The watch arrived. I ordered it on the 21st Feb. For a few days I got email notifications stating the order was "processing". I emailed them back and queried the timescale and as previously stated got the somewhat snotty response regarding how long they say things take. On the 27th Feb I got an email stating it was prepared for shipping, NOTE that this does NOT mean it has been shipped. They play a clever game of producing a shipping note and using that as a shipping date but it does not correspond with the dates I have from USPS. USPS received the item on Feb 28th. So that is 6 or 7 days for the item to leave Invicta. I don't think it should take more than 48 hours to leave the shop. Once USPS got the item it arrived here on March 3rd. I opened it and immediately saw that the bezel did not rotate, it appeared to be stuck. I emailed Invicta within 20 minutes of opening the box. I had no reply by the next day so I emailed them again, I did get a reply to this one. It was somewhat generic and stated they would look into it. I emailed them again the next day with a little more force asking them to deal with this problem and finally got a reply stating that they had incorrectly described the watch on their website and that it was in fact a fixed bezel. So that is today, March 5th. So far they appear to have no interest in correcting a falsely described item. If they do, I will update. I have started a claim via my credit card company and filed a complaint under the BBB. In the meantime, I ordered an Invicta from Walmart and it arrives tomorrow. So, I repeat. By all means buy one, just not from Invicta Stores.
