exactly how slow is fasttech?

[etchie]

When I order there, I like to order and then pretend that I didn't. I order small things like brushes for leaning, driptips and crap like that. Then when it finally gets here, I'm just like "oh yeah". If you're going to track it, you have to do the tracking when it's in China, and then use another tracker for when it gets into your country. It's a bit of a pain in the ..., but more importantly, it's laughably inaccurate. Just go about your business until it gets to you or you'll drive yourself insane. That's my experience, anyway.

If you are an impatient person and don't know how international shipping works, buy domestic and pay the higher prices.

If you like to do your market research, don't mind 2-3 weeks of transit and Customs time, and would like to save money (often a LOT of money) on your hobby, fast tech is the way to do it.

Please note that fast tech is not responsible for the way our national Customs and postal services work.

if you're willing to pay three bucks for shipping (no bat, juices etc) you usually get your items in about 8 days with epacket.

Chose epacket myself last order ($2.xx extra). 8 days and it was in my hands (6 Business days + 1 weekend).

Moved to the Fastech forum as expected.

That's a pretty sweeping and unfair generalization, isn't it? If you insist on instant gratification in your life, buy domestic.

FWIW, half an hour ago I placed an order for 8 items, all noted 'ships next day' or 'in stock'. Just useful stuff:

Variable Voltage Kick Module for Mechanical Mod Kick Module(VV) / SKU: 1646300

510 Adapter for 3D Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer SKU: 1698000

Replacement Nichrome Resistance Wire for E-Cigarette (1M) x 2 Wire, 0.18mm*1m / SKU: 1456601

Replacement PC Colored Nano Tank for Taifun GT PC Nano Tank, Translucent (for Taifun GT) / SKU: 1699507

Replacement PC Colored Nano Tank for Taifun GT PC Nano Tank, Purple (for Taifun GT) / SKU: 1699505

Replacement Polycarbonate Tanks for Taifun GT (7-Pack) PC Tank, 7-Pack (for Taifun GT) / SKU: 1677500

2.0mm Braided Silica Wick (5M / 16.4ft) Braided, 2.0mm: 5M / SKU: 1616903

Acrylic + Stainless Steel Hybrid 510 Drip Tip Acrylic + Stainless Steel / SKU: 1699603

Grand total: $29.48 That, by the way, is how much my first CE4 and generic Ego battery cost me here in Jerusalem.

The order is already "Waiting to be packaged" so I think it will ship later today or early tomorrow.

Please tell me that's slow. Explain to me in terms I can understand (I'm an old lady who has lived a very long ordering-overseas kind of life) how slow that is. I love fiction.

EDited to add: 1 hour and 45 minutes after posting this, the order was already being packaged.
