They are also the largest producer of Commissioned product in the World.
Think about it
I think you can probably extrapolate something about integrity there.
How's the Istick mini for you. I've been wanting one since they first appeared. Just didn't need it and to cheap to buy something I don't need. Just last evening dropped my unloved Luggly in the mail to a friend who ordered a new mini 10w for in exchange. I expect the mini to fit my vape style (and shirt pocket) perfectly.
Some think being considered a cheap basta_ _ is a bad thing , nothing wrong with admitting it . I wouldn't start out mentioning that if your trying to attract potential dates though .
I like the way it vapes better than my Twists.
But I like the way the Twist sits in my pocket better.
I'm more about the pocket than a better vape.
The Twists are good enough for me.
The one thing to keep in mind with FT and its supply is that its a first come first served type of deal. Esentially when you buy something that says ships in 5 business days your taking a ticket "In line." FT may have placed an order for overstock of the item, and you may be lucky to get it sooner than the 5 days, other times they dont receive a shipment on time, or they receive a smaller batch of inventory, and there is a gap between how many they have and how many orders there are. And this is where the ETAs and restocking come into play, as your waiting for the next shipment to arrive at the FT facility in order to satisfy your order. I look at FT much like how a deli counter is run, some days you can get right in there and get the first ticket, other times you're waiting forever for your ticket to get called.
FT does their business in a very odd manner to many from the US. It took me some time and a number of orders from there to start to really figure out how their whole system worked. Its not ideal, but the way they do things does help to drive their costs down making it cheaper for us in the end. Does it cause more of a headache? Oh hell yeah, but I can take a slight headache for some savings.
Also, FT has had a really hard time recovering from CNY this year. Seems they lost a lot of staff, and have not been able to bounce back. Customer service is backlogged, inventory is taking longer to get shipped out, it just seems there is no staff on hand right now to handle the backlog and sheer size of FTs inventory now.

Actually this is a common misconception. Women actually prefer a cheap guy. If you really think about it in the hunter gatherer way seems legit. The guy who hordes can provide better. Also my generation dosen't "date" but "hook-up". Even if it did come up in convo i'd say ya i'm cheap but the house and truck are paid for bc of it. Than they ask really and i reply ya stop over check out the crib it works for me at least.

Do the website say it will be shipping with 5 days of the order? I think they just mean it will ship within 5 days of whenever we get to it.
Well i don't even want to comment on the current generation (thats how screwed up i think they are) but i will say your refreshing and a rare find .
I don't necessarily buy the below comment though:
Well here's advice i got when i was young (16) from a friend. She was a model and use to guys buying her stuff and what not. One day she was showing me a ring a guy bought her and after told me "grant never buy a girl anything". I looked at her dumbfounded and asked what about on an anniversary. She thought about it and replied maybe idk. I asked her why and she explained it to me. That when a guy buys a women something the way they look at it is that they by themself aren't good enuff. So here's a gift to make up for my inadequacy. Some of the best advice and insight on women i ever got.

Seriously now you must be special. I've never had an order out the door any faster than 5 days to a week and arrival time around 2 1/2 weeks to 5 weeks.
Simply a difference in order types.
In stock, over $25 with Express Tracked shipping vs. Special shipping requirements or Least cost shipping of inexpensive non-tracked items.
I never order in less than $25 Value and always receive in 10-14 days.
If all I needed was Heads for a Tank, I'd order 4-5 Packs ONCE and be done.
Then there are those content to place $1-$3 Free shipping orders ............and................Wait.
Waited two months for my Leather Cuboid cases to get sent out, They tried to cancel my order twice and in the end I got better ones for same price as the cheaper ones I actually ordered never came in. Oh well I want them as much now as I did when I ordered them. I do not use my Cuboid as I have been waiting on the cases to protect it some.
I never thought of it like that , amazing somebody would think like that actually . Imo a guy buys for two reasons , either he really cares a great deal for her and wants to get her something to show her how much he cares OR he expects to get some action that evening .
Probably both .
I ran into a guy years ago that was so over the top in his thought process , he would always have a list showing what he expects based on what he spends , if he spent this much he expected the girl to this in return and so on , it was so ridiculous i busted out laughing when i saw it.
Lol. So it is one day late. Man you need a new vendor.
I understand your frustration a little bit... but... its only one day man.
I ordered something from them on February 22nd. They said it also would ship in 5 days. it didnt. A few days after I sent an email. they said it would arrive at FT on March 11th. It didnt. Anyways. finally ended up shipping April 5th. Worst Ive had from them so far... and then singpost didnt even ship it out right away. Needed to wait a few more days for it to leave wherever it was coming from.
it now shows up as Dispatch from outward office of Exchange on Japan post... which means it probably has arrived in Japan and is sitting on a skid somewhere waiting for the staff to get to it. It should arrive at my door within a week.
Nearly 2 months after ordering an item that ships the next day. Its fasttech.
But again... if you come on here because your upset that your fasttech order is a day late.... .. you need a new company.
Also keep in mind its different time zones. so... if you ordered in the day, it was night there. And if you posted this in the day it was night. 1 day late is nothing to kick up a fuss over.
I've ordered over $25 every time, Express shipping all but one order which had batteries. Several orders all on stock. The times are as I quoted above. People who buy your "10-14 days" to arrive after placing an order for even in stock items are almost certainly going to be disappointed.Simply a difference in order types.

I have ordered from FT several times. I always make sure it is an in stock item. I have seen too many posts about products taking 6 weeks to ship. I have had every order shipped within 24 hrs but once it is out of their hands it has always taken 4 weeks to get to me in Kansas. I have had orders come through Los Angeles and New Jersey from them, it always seems to take about a week in customs once it hits the states. Although one of my orders got hung up in Los Angeles for 3 weeks for whatever reason. After the first order I figured out that just not ordering anything I need now from them and I would be good.

ANY "ships in XX days" means they are at the mercy of some delivery - and it's going to be an estimate. If that item is something you're not willing to wait a while for, skip it.
When I order stuff that's "in stock" I always get it in a fairly reasonable amount of time - considering it's free shipping and from China. Like under 2 weeks to west coast.
You can also split out orders, so "in stock" doesn't get stuck waiting for the "ships in XX days" stuff.
