I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I have a couple more things to order but figured I'd order one thing first to see how it goes before spending more money. Haha

FT has a big slider banner on their home page that links to a forum post alerting customers to their situation and how they are coming back to work.
That's more than I can say for most of these Chinese vape retailers who seem to think keeping their customers informed isn't that big a priority.
Service update: Due to Wuhan new coronavirus, some services will be delayed until February 17,2020. (Update February 21): FastTech Forums
The banner may have been there a while, but I rarely enter the site via the homepage.

Smart move haha.I got carried away when they had the CNY sales,so i ordered several things,knowing it wouldn't ship out for a few weeks,but i wasn't expecting the virus outbreak,so that held the stuff up longer than expected,but i figure it'll get here some day haha.Although my situation is a bit different,as the stuff i ordered is all just wants and nothing i need quick,so i;ll keep my fingers crossed for ya too,who knows it might help haha.
I placed a small order Jan. 20 and emailed them a week ago and got no response from the email but saw a new banner saying they're behind on all the support tickets. The way things are going over there, who knows how long of a wait there will be.
Yeah, I was thinking about Folks with Mental challenges not getting their Meds.
Not enough Antibiotics to go around...Cancer Meds and the like.
Talk about a potentially Catastrophic situation.
I really hope not but this could get ugly.
This is why I didn't order from fasttech a month ago. Said on the site an item would ship in two days, yet I had doubts. Am stocked up, so can wait until the summer for further ordering there.

Uh - oh.
Just got an Email from my Seller and they told me that the Atomizers are on Backorder for a Week.
I hope this isn't the beginning of breaks in the Supply Chain already

Retailers were the first to get back to work it seems. I suspect many of them still aren't back full force if at all.
Manufacturers and the postal system seem to be the biggest problem in terms of products getting to customers or even retailers.

It seems at least some of their postal system is starting to get back to normal,i guess it depends on what part of he country they are in.One of my Ft packages shipped 2/12 and cleared through Chicago customs yesterday 2/25.
That was a big concern for me after their shutdown,was if the postal service was going to get moving again or remain shut down for a longer period,so i was happy to see the package moved along.
Okay, but be fair. All she posted was the quote from their website, and asked if anyone was worried about ordering from China. She didn't even make a statement. The name calling reply wasn't on target, because she didn't insinuate anything about FT or single them out, other than provide their own quote- then the general question of worries about China. She didn't even say she was worried herself.
And obviously, plenty of people are worried at least a little. You may think their reasons are invalid, but they could be worried about the virus itself, about really long delays in shipment, or even that it could get bad enough over there that some companies might go out of business. I doubt many over there are enjoying their "extended vacation."
How the coronavirus went global in two months

Take a look at how we got here:

FYI, nine days appears to be max lifespan of coronaviruses on materials like steel, aluminum, plastic, and glass. Personally plan to bag and closet for 2-3 weeks for safety. If in a hurry, suggest a 91% isopropyl alcohol bath for 15-20 minutes. Use the 91% concentration of isopropyl alcohol i.e. not 70%

Good info, but keep in mind that they haven't actually tested this virus. May be similar results, but....
coronaviruses can persist on surfaces at room temperature for up to nine days
That doesn't mean that it will be still active and able to infect someone.
Viruses are loosing the ability to infect being outside the human(or other live creature) body for more than few hours (with some very rare exceptions).

Sure, but if you knew there was live virus on a drip tip, would you vape it that day? The next day? A week later?
H2O2 and a UV flashlight are my best friends.
Good luck.
p.s. FT orders/shipments post holiday sitting at PO/port now several days. At least appearing to process some orders. No word at all from Wotofo which was to resume ops 24Feb. Heaven Gifts silent on inquiries, their chats appear to be a bot.
