I’m just writing this review to express my disappointment with Chisholm Hunter. I usually don’t do reviews, the last time I got so down was in Schuh where they don’t allow returns if you wore the boots (how else do you know the DM’s would leak if you don’t wear it on a rainy day).
This would be the second: Chisholm Hunter’s cut-off time is 12nn. If you ordered by 12:01pm they won’t process it for next-day delivery. They’ll just sit and sleep on it until the next day and then process that for delivery, which means you’ll get your watch TWO DAYS LATER.
Like who does that?
12nn who does cut-off time at 12nn?
That’s like closing down a shop by 12nn because you’re too lazy to work.
Goldsmiths & Beaverbrooks cut-off time is 6pm at least. 6:00pm!
Also, I’ve been on guitar shops like Andertons and PMT, the cut-off time is 3pm. For GUITARS. Like 6kg or 7kg bulky guitars, cut-off time is 3pm. Chisholm Hunter only packs these 200gram-max watches. They’re NOT packing heavy things. There’s no excuse or reason that guitar shops could cut-off at 3pm, and competitors like Goldsmiths could cut-off at 6pm, meanwhile Chisholm Hunter cuts-off at 12nn as if they don’t wanna work.
My order involves a Tudor Black Bay P01, which is Tudor’s “ugly duckling” that nobody wanted it? But I do. I like the off-looking, different from normal types of watches, and this Tudor P01 speaks to me. It took me about 12:17pm to finalise the order via V12finance because I ain’t rich, I work as a nurse in the NHS but I love watches. Paying £134 a month for 18months should be okay financial-wise.
So this is my “fault” now that because I ordered 17minutes too late, 12:17pm in Goldsmiths or Beaverbrooks would be NO PROBLEM. I’d never thought Chisholm Hunter’s cut-off time is 12nn thus the sheer disappointment, it’s just inexcusable.
So, as I do like that Tudor, I have to cancel it. Yes, I’m aware the Tudor P01 is discontinued and this may be the only chance to get this brand-new, & not a secondhand in Watchfinder.
Seriously, what is Chisholm Hunter gonna do after 12nn? It’s not gonna take an hour to pack a watch.
BUT WAIT—there is a happy ending:
Robert Gatward has the Tudor P01 in their stock, discounted also like Chisholm Hunter’s.
Hence what we all got from this? Chisholm Hunter lost a sale for cutting-off orders at 12nn.
Thank you for reading!
