Packing & Shipping Suggestions
Pack your watch in a box that's approximately 10" X 8" X 6" in size, or a size that can't easily be lost by the carrier.  We suggest wrapping the item in bubble-wrap, and then packing in styrofoam peanuts or void air bags.  We recommend the use of USPS Registered Mail, Insured for shipping timepieces to us.    We don't recommend using UPS.  Click HERE to see why.   Please make no reference to the contents on the outside of your package.  Our address label, at the bottom of our Mail In Repair Form, may be used for US Postal Service.  Shortly after your package arrives, we'll send a detailed written repair estimate by email.  We'll then wait for your reply before proceeding. 

Package carefully, but Use only packing that can be discarded.  Because of the volume of repairs that come into the shop each week, we cannot be responsible for personal or manufacturer's boxes.  All packaging is discarded.  

Vintage Repair Warranty
Unless otherwise stated, Old Father Time Vintage Repairs are warranted, to our customers, for timekeeping, for a period of six months from the date of original repair. While perfection is always our goal, no warranties are, or can be, made regarding achieving the accuracy standards of timekeeping asserted by the original manufacturers when these watches were NEW. Timekeeping is adjusted as originally prescribed by the manufacturer at the time of return shipment to the customer, and has been found to be consistent for at least 7 days prior to shipment.  However, it is mutually understood that these watches are now antiques.   Adjustments to timekeeping ARE SOMETIMES necessary after any repair or overhaul and while the watch adjusts to the owner's normal use.  We've found that adjustments can also be required after  "rough shipping".  New problems can also arise after the initial repair is performed .   We will, therefore, make timekeeping adjustments throughout the warranty period as needed.  Our warranty is void if we determine instances of abuse, or tampering and excludes batteries, case, strap or bracelet, crystals, normal wear and tear, electronic coils and return shipping costs.  Partial repairs are not covered by warranty.  Our Mail-In Repair form may be used with warranty repairs.
