Anyone waiting for packages from China?

[Wow1420]

3AVape ordered 3/11. Had a couple of tracking entries, last one on 3/14 somewhere in China. Still hasn't hit US customs.

[Edit - Don, this vindictive red X-ing is getting tiresome. Once was funny, continuing is not]

I have a package that 17track has said was sitting in Hong Kong since 3/15, but left 2 days ago. It still hasn't arrived in the USA yet. It's probably just now being put on a canoe to cross the Pacific Ocean, then will be delivered to me by Pony Express.

How could someone disagree with a fact? lol

My darn MTL brundhild arrived and now, I have to build it. Most annoying. So yes, like it's good thing vape gear doesn't go bad because it is NOT happening soon sucker's intimidating.

I placed an order for a Brunhilde MTL with FT on Jan 6 and the delivery date kept being extended. It finally shipped March 6. I'm expecting it soon.

Let us know how you like yours when you get it going

I ordered batteries from lion wholesale. Shipment took a week. There was apparently a signature requirement (?!) and with virus stuff I don’t blame ISPs for making only one attempt and leaving a final notice slip. I’ve got to go pick it up at the post office. I’m assuming it’s the batteries of course. Might be some sort of awful official notice from someone else I guess.

Mine arrived today, it took longer to get from Louisville to here than it did to get from China to Louisville.

One pkg of mine has gone from jamaica,ny to LA and back to NJ in the last 11 days (i'm in MD) kind of a waste of fuel if you ask me.

Don't even get me started on the USPS. I've had FAAAAAR more problems with them than I ever have with the Chinese carriers.

I have two MTL Brunhilde and another two on the way from Sourcemore.
There Bloody Fantastic RTA's

Sourcemore has also changed the shipping for customers btw.
No China shipping at the moment it was either Netherlands Post or TNT for me

Finally after 1 month 4 days, and seeing it stuck in 3 "restocking" loops 2 x7 days, 1 x 10, the most important part of my 4 item order is ready to ship:

The other 3 items have all been rerouted, in 2 different bags via two different carriers, via the convoluted paths i noticed last week and @UncleJunkle referred to earlier...HK Post handed over to PostNL, then to Australia and another package from the order via Singapore Post direct? to Australia

Theres no speedy services folks, my posted packages have been sitting there for 5 days....

 

[JustWondering1]

I don’t know if virus situation has shipping crates stuck in isolation but my packages have been stuck in China for 3 weeks.
Usually packages have left Chinese customs by now.
Anyone else waiting on packages from China?

I had a package delivered on Saturday and I've got another one that has been in China at "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment," for about 4 days now, but that's normal. The package that was delivered last Saturday moved along at a decent pace until it arrived in the U.S. Once it got to the states, Sourcemore used DHL ecommerce to get it to my town, and then USPS for delivery to my home. The DHL ecommerce portion of the trip took a few days longer than I am used to.

I've been dealing with a lot of restocking delays at FT too! I guess things are not quite "business as usual" in China yet!

Neither am I. I did kinda check out for a while. There are people I was hoping to see posts from that I haven’t as well so I guess I’m not the only one. The big CDC ecig scare basically drove me off. It was unbelievably political, filled with gigantic amounts of BS from several directions, and I got talked into buying several years worth of ecig supplies in advance so I had little reason to pay attention. It was depressing me and I needed to get away from it.
(Who would have thought THAT one would turn out to be super handy right about now)

3 week

3 weeks. So you ordered during the crisis. I normally budget 2 months for anything chinachannel myself. As it is I think tripling that might be reasonable. That one you might need to be patient on.

The news I’m seeing is Chinese people are only just starting to get out of quarantine and are taking a bit of time to hug each other and kind of say “holy cats I’m still alive! And so are you! Yay!” save your tracking numbers. If things aren’t working in a couple of weeks a polite question might be in order. The Chinese are likely to come out of this thing better than we will but they’ve been dealing with it since December of last year and it’s only just starting to get better. They had their New York. Their worse than New York. All of it.

 

[vaper1960]

There are two tanks I so wanted but only available from China... I passed because I just didn't want to wait that long.

 

[vaper1960]

@gsmit1 , I agree... have had stuff arrived damaged (one buuble wrap package was smashed and had "tar" all over it! WTF)

 

[Mordacai]

Found this site parcel tracking site recently folks and it seems somewhat better than 17track.
Universal Parcel Tracking - Global Package Tracking

Managed to track a package when it entered the UK with it and 17track lost it.

@stylemessiah, I hope that when you get the Tripod eventually that you enjoy it.

I'm waiting on 2nd packet of one order from 2fdeal and another order as well, they've been shipped this week so it'll be interesting to see how long they'll take and how many detours.

But I'm a bit let down as was looking forward to getting hold of the Ulton Typhoon BTD RDA's in my recently delivered package, but I've got some Ulton Typhoon GTR's and GT4's to play with in the meantime.

Still cleaning a GT4 up for service, but it's keeping me busy and looks excellent. Looking forwards to some nice slightly restrictive DTL vaping, when I finally clear all the machining oil residue and debris from it.

As nobody enjoys vaping machining oil, period.
