I went through the shipping methods 2 years ago for speed. Shipping carriers seem to change monthly. What works good last month is no longer available this month. E Packet didn't allow tube shaped products for a while.
I settled on regular air mail. 2-3 weeks most of the time. It has been a long time since I was in a hurry for anything from FT.

My new years order has cleared l.a. customs. FT had it pkg'd and shipped in 24 hrs so that"s about average.

Not FT but i placed an order on 1/4/2017 with 3fvape and it arrived today in Pennsylvania! That is a new record for me from China!
Well the first time in Years, I had to open a ticket, the O16 beauty ring got left out of my package. 
Sent pictures of what I got & the package front and back. They responded it was their mistake and offered to reship, refund, or GC. It was less than a $2 item, so I just told them a GC and I will use it on my next order, which will be after CNY (I don't order the First quarter of the year because of it).

I ordered a VapeCige VTBox250 from Fasttech on 12/28 and it updated to "shipped" on 1/9. Tracking says "origin post is preparing shipment." I had totally forgotten about the Chinese New Year thing, so we shall see.
I've found when it says that, it's on the boat (plane?).
Usually shows up in US customs about 8 days later.

I placed an order today for 14 items because I wanted to use the MAP coupon code for an Sbody Macro DNA 75 before it expires. I was very careful to only order items labelled as In Stock, but I made a mistake about the status of one item. It says it will ship in 5 days. What do you think my odds are that my package will ship before 1/24 and they go on holiday?
Could always cancel the one item, so the others will ship, then use the credit to reorder that item on a separate order. Just a thought.
I thought about doing that, but I'm afraid if I do, it will just delay things anyway. I'm not sure what the best option is. I've read on this thread people saying when FT says something will ship on a certain date, they usually don't ship on that date, but on a later date. I'm going to read through this thread and try to figure out how long the delay will likely be if they promise to ship in 5 days.
I have had stuff ship in LESS days than they say, and had stuff ship in MORE days than they say. What it is, is their supplier tells them they will get it to them by X date, if the supplier is on the ball, they get it sooner, if the supplier is not, they get it later than promised. Best bet is to always have "Ship's in X Days" in a separate order from everything else. JMHO
Got it. I made sure 13 of the 14 items were in stock, but I definitely screwed up on one item! I just wasn't careful enough, however!
Not FT, but found these DOTMod like drip tips, I know a few were looking for them.

Update. I just checked tracking again a few minutes ago and it said it was processed through customs in Los Angeles on the 15th, so I should have it soon.
Canada ePacket has been amazingly fast for me lately.
Order shipped Jan 7 is out for delivery today. Under 2 weeks from China like clockwork vs. 5-7 weeks via SingPost.
I will never again have a FT order shipped by any other method than ePacket.

I placed an order with FT on January 13 and am hoping it will be shipped before they go on holiday. Based on the holiday shipping schedule posted above, do you think this will go out by 1/24? I ordered one item that promised to be available in five days, but everything else was in stock. When I checked my order status today, I learned it is "waiting to be packaged."

Does the status, "waiting to be packaged", mean it is likely to be shipped soon? Does anyone have any experience with this? Maybe that status doesn't mean much, and is given to every order until it ships?
