This is exactly my point as well ... If you do not, or cannot handle the "possibility" of long shipping delays, then you have no business ordering from overseas, it is as simple as that.
I hold the vendor accountable for shipping the items ordered within the time frame specified, and for the quality and functionality of the items once they are received. The vendor, whether it is a US vendor, and or a Chinese vendor, IS NOT in any way responsible for how long it may take a package to arrive once it is in the custody of the Postal carrier ... period. If there is a question, or a problem with shipping times/delays, then address it with the Postal carrier who has custody of your package. It makes absolutely no sense to criticize, or villanize a vendor because an international shipment is taking too long as that is the nature of the beast.
When I first emailed Focalecigs to question them about stock availability, and placing orders they were very humble, and forthcoming with me about how their ordering systems works, and the fact that they are very much aware that they have many improvements to make to their present system. I am ok with working with a new company that is in it's infancy, as long as it is made clear to me what I am working with. So far everything about my order, and its movements are EXACTLY what I was told it would be ... and as such I have placed another order with them.
Now onto some happy news, at least for me ... Focalecigs listed the Fogger V3 which I am foaming at the month to get .. With the coupon code FOCALECIGSHARING for 10% off it came out to less than fasttech's price for the same, so I am EXCITED! I already have the perfect mech mod to pair with it (JM22), so from now until the moment I receive it I will satisfy myself by staring at pictures of it all day, and visualizing my future vapeporn photos.

i dunno, i personally dont see an issue with the delays. but then again i do international orders all the time, very rarely are many of them speedy in their deliveries.
bought an atty from Finland took 7 weeks, 3 1/2 of those were sitting in customs being examined over there at their border.
from Russia was 6 1/2 weeks i believe
Germany took 5 weeks
last fastech order almost 8 weeks
from Hungary 2 1/2 weeks
Scotland took right around 3 weeks
my point being international mail goes through a lot and will vary depending on whats going on over there with regards to customs, local shipping practices and things like decelerations, inspections and duties. how bad does XXXX shipper want every package from YYY country examined. etc.
this is just par for the course and while it sucks my feeling is if you cant handle a delay or cannot wait do not order from overseas. If you really need something or are depending on something in the order just dont do it.
