Coronavirus and ordering from China

[Redbird11]

Yeah,i don't mind a small shipping charge as long as i get my stuff in reasonable time,my first was the only longish wait at about a month,but it was right after they started opening stuff back up over there,so i figure there was a big backlog.My orders from Ft with free shipping have all been 2+ months lately,so i'm more than happy to pay a small price to get it faster haha.
I've never ordered from sourcemore,but i remember when i was thinking of ordering from them,like you say,it was very similar through them.

I don't mind waiting a bit, but I want some consistency. I don't want to hope and pray that I might get something in 2 or 3 months down the road. For a more reliable shipping process, I will happily spend a few bucks more on an order.

If you want consistency you definitely can't go wrong with sourcemore
I've placed quite a few orders with them and all of my packages have taken 14-21 days every time.
I've never had an order take longer than 3 weeks to be delivered to OZ

Same for me, 6 orders with sourcemore and all have been delivered in 3 weeks or less.

They're pretty good if you ask me

Here you go @Redbird11 , a happy Sourcemore customer from the US and one from OZ

Alright I will buy something for Sourcemore then.

BTW, do you have any suggestions on what to buy?

If you choose to go back to Fasttech the quickest shipping upgrade to the US is USPS Expedited Service. This will get it to the US the quickest(other than DHL which cost a bloody fortune) and then it's up to USPS Postal Service to get it delivered to you.
That way it won't get caught up in China for very long

I hope this helps

I just placed a small order last week, it finally shows shipped today (one item went into restocking and delayed it). I chose "USPS Expedited Service to the USA" and paid an extra $4.29, which for as small as the order was, was a high price. It has a regular USPS tracking number instead of the LY*********CN tracking number. I'll post an update once I get it so everyone knows how quick it arrives.

Thank you very much for that! Reloading my FT cart.

Hmmm

 

[Katya]

From what I've seen it's rare for FT stuff to not arrive at all. Sounds like yours is down to the US postal system not FT. I really don't know what difference the FT options make these days. It might not even matter what you choose. Or maybe it does.

Ay, there's the rub! FT has never failed me. They have always been good with shipping. It's the USPS or customs who lost my package. And they can't even figure out which.

3FVape uses them too,that is who their US Express line is through.

I tried them last night. My only shipping options for 1 mod were 18 and 28 bucks. Thank you very much. Their shipping has completely changed and, IMHO, is now just nuts. I gave up on them.

 

[Katya]

The orders i've done through 3F,the shipping has varied,not sure if it's price dependent or weight,but it has averaged between like $3.50 to a little over $5.I have a cart waiting there now that is showing almost $8 for shipping,but it's a bigger order than the others,so both more expensive and heavier.

I think is weight dependent, but I may be wrong. My order from one warehouse was (the cheapest option) 12 bucks, the mod, from a different warehouse--18 or 28.

 

[Redbird11]

I've placed 5 orders through 3F the last several months,and all have been 4PX/HK to Dhl.My very first one using them took almost a month,back in early April,the last 4 have been between 7 days and 2 weeks.

Did you select US Express-Line1 or USPS small packet as the shipping option? I see a couple different options now that I am able to pull up 3F

 

[Katya]

I ordered two tanks from them last night--6 bucks shipping. FWIW. They had them in stock and I really wanted to try the new Ares 2. We shall see.

Yeah,i've been using the US Express line.It says 27-48 days,but it hasn't been anywhere near that.My current package was ordered last week,and it should be in my hands either tomorrow or Monday.

Yeah,that's crazy,i've never seen shipping quoted that high on any of mine,does that mod include a battery?If so then maybe that's why,but that still seems high even then.
My current cart has a mod,4 pod type tank/rba's,and a couple drip tips,and the Express line is like $8.20,but the mod doesn't have any batteries.

Nope, no battery. Aegis Solo, empty. Different warehouse though, maybe that's the problem.

You know you need a Brunhilde MTL RTA but not from there if you're a first time customer.
The key with Sourcemore is to get things that you need that are at a cheap price and after placing a couple of orders your account get moved up to what's called 'Bronze Level' and then you can get a significant discount on all products available.
They have heaps of cheap stuff for first time customers like you so have a look around and see what you need. They have 10% off at the moment too

I can get a Brunhilde from Sourcemore for about 28 bucks including shipping. It seems like a pretty good deal to me if I decide to grab one.

Wow. I saw those prices on some of the DHL shipping options on some sites, but not for the other shipping options.

Do you get the discount on Brunhilde when you log on?
Cloud was complaining it was too much for him there

Well you just better get a Brunhilde MTL RTA from Sourcemore then

Yeah, I found this code from somewhere online to use at Sourcemore "CVDBMR". It takes about 20 bucks off the price of the tank.
