The second time my order took almost a month to get to me. I live in California and the item was sent to New York two weeks after I paid for it. During those two weeks my order was unable to be tracked. Then I was able to track it as it sat in New York for a week. And finally I was able to track it as it took another week (after clearing customs) to get to me. I'm done with FT.

All stuff from China comes in through San Francisco. Once there everything else is the fault of the USPS, not the company you ordered from. I live in Houston TX, and I once ordered something from Washington State and watched the USPS tracking as my package moved down to Utah, then north east clear across the country to Detroit, MI before turning back SW and coming to Houston. The USPS is NOT an efficient well oiled machine.

I've ordered from fasttech a few times, but I tend to look for stateside sale prices on what I want before going to FT. FT is usually about 8 days to the East Coast as opposed to 2 or 3 for most U.S. vendors.

It's surprising how often I can find something on sale for a dollar or two more and get it quicker.
I concur. I can often find stuff that is as cheap, cheaper or maybe a few dollars more stateside using Vapecrawler.

FT does have a very deep inventory, but Gearbest is close, cheaper on the stuff I wanted and delivery time hasn't been more than 12 business days.

I have found that when I order from either, it is always a surprise to me when I finally get my package. They always seem to sit at origin post has prepared a shipment for some time...then just when I forget that I placed an order for something, it will magically appear in my mailbox :lol:

Oh another fun story that just happened. I ordered something from gearbest which used FedEx to get it from CA to Houston. Now keep in mind Houston is a big hub for pretty much all shippers and i live fairly close to FedEx. So when i saw my product in town I just knew I would get it the next day. Nope, instead of bringing it to my house, they drove it PAST my house and delivered it to....my local USPS Post Office. Now this USPS location is the post office that delivers to my house, so OK I'll get it the next day. Nope, they then sent it to the USPS regional distribution center, who then sent it BACK to the same post office who then finally delivered the following day. :-x

Of course none of that was the fault of gearbest, but I am telling you, there are some dull tools working for shipping companies and USPS.

Like vaping it's subjective

My story is I got an ammit 25 in black didn't see what day it would ship took over a month to get it

If I would of got gold I would of had it same day I got my coil master kit

The coil master kit took about 2 half weeks got the ammit 2 weeks after

Just staring at my kit with no rebuildable was wack but it was my fault not checking

The only way I order again is for clones or a sale when something I don't need is on sale

But with a reload and paranormal I'm satisfied with my toys

It's a great resource. It doesn't hit all of the sites out there and sometimes it will link to a site that is out of stock. But if you really need to find some obscure bit of gear you can probably find it through there.
