I'm reading in the fasttech forums that there is no date sequence of how the orders are being sorted, processed, and shipped, and many ppl are not happy campers because of that.....I guess its whatever the handlers are grabbing first and not by date of order or acceptance...your 9/7 18650 batteries may ship via China Post and arrive sooner than the 9/7 order via HK post and then to USPS...as U know beginning 9/14 Fastetch decided they MAY ship 18650 batteries via China Post cause they have no avaiation regulations regarding those type batteries whereas HK Post does..

we should have started a $$$ pool to guess the date of home delivery...yanno, like the football pools we have every week...lmao
Here is what's happening:
1. Packages with primarily e-liquid and/or batteries in them are now more likely to get caught and get returned to us. We'll refund in those cases.
UPDATE (9/16): FastTech is now re-routing these packages to China Post to reduce the chance of them getting returned.

My main package arrived and was processed through San Fran sort facility, departed, arrived and proccessed through San Fran sort facility, departed and guess where it is now.... San ....f-in Fran sort facility again... ...?
Other package still in Hong Kong showing zero movement.

Sorry, but there seems to be some sort of misunderstanding. We need to get this straight.
FT is processing and shipping your orders normally, in order. It is the Hong Kong Postal Authority that seem to be responsible for x-raying and authorizing your packages. That is where the hold up is. That is where the random some-going-through and some-not is going on.
when I say sorted, processed and shipped out od date sequence, I mean mainly by the mail handlers at HK Post and customs...and that's the cause of some unhappy campers.....but FT also is getting some newer orders out faster than the oldr ones...its not exclusively HK post mail handlers and customs officials...and USPS is also a reason for out of sequence deliveries...there 's a whole lot of varaiables and players involved in this situation that share some blame..but overall FT has done a fairly good job so far other than some shipping mixups , and shipping wrong products to wrong ppl, and not notifying the customers until HK Post made an official announcement on 10 Sept when FT had this issue about 2 weeks prior to that, and then they only posted this delay on their forums and not to every customer via email....
Ordered Vamo V3 with 18650 and Nitecore charger and Acceptance at Hong Kong on September 16, 2013, 2:24 pm. Shipping occured on the 14th, but I don't know if went Hong Kong Post or China Post. Any way of telling?
I really hope it makes it, I'm ready to ditch this C-Twist!

if U requested USPS for shipment as most Americans do, if the USPS tracking number has HK at the end, then its Hong Kong Post ....such as LK035796428HK .. the HK = Hong Kong Post

Package of starter kit with ego batteries and a separate package of clearos are being delivered to my door today via USPS....Not bad since order was mad on Aug 31...a 18 day process....usually its about 10-12 days from date of order to my door delivery, but an extra week or so sitting at Hong Kong Post and customs slowed it down ....this didn't turn out as bad as I originally expected when Fasttech and HK Post announced the delays....things are improving as the backlog is dwindling and orders are getting through on a regular basis , just a lil slower than usual..so this order took an extra 7-8 days, no biggie..I'll continue to use fasttech and expect shipping to be a lil slower and plan ahead..

The package went from Long Island, New York to Baton Rouge, LA. No clue what's going on. My other three packages are still AWOL.
My package containing only a Kanger Protank II will be delivered today or tomorrow, the one containing the Vamo v2, two 18650 batteries, Nitecore charger, 2 Kanger Protanks, replacement heads, and a case is still only listed as accepted on September 9 2013.... sure hope it makes it through customs because I'll have nothing to attach my protank to if it doesn't lol!

I'm in the same boat with a SS Vamo V3, 2 18650 batteries, and a Nitecore.
My tracking number ends in HK and has been (to my knowledge) in Hong Kong three days now. Unless USPS just hasn't updated, which wouldn't be surprising considering even in-state orders via USPS sometimes don't update until they are at my doorstep.
They updated my Protank II package regularly, and it was delivered today. Now if my other package will just get updated to shipped to USA I would be jumping for joy, still listed as accepted only though.
Thanks everyone for sharing! My FT order shipped 09/09. USPS tracking shows:

Four mechanical mods, one variable mod, three RBAs, tips and other whatnot. Four batteries. No juice. That's my story. Good luck to all!

I hope this is good news. I placed an eliquid order from FastTech on Sept. 2nd. Hit Hong Kong on the 6th.. and sat in acceptance until this morning.
I had my first order through them with only battery's get accepted on Sept. 9th, Processed through on Sept. 10 and delivered Sept. 14, 6 days, I thought WOW this is great lets order some more! I have two other orders from FT, both with battery's and other items, both have been showing "accepted" in HK since Sept 11th,,,,,,I feel the pain!
Fast Tech order is moving! After almost 2 weeks, it has finally left Hong Kong! About 300 ml ejuice in total, and nothing else.
Maybe, kinda, sorta. My order has been sitting in limbo in HK since Sept 6th. Starting to wonder if they throw darts at a board to see which part of the pile they screen that day. 
Close, but more along the lines of this:Starting to wonder if they throw darts at a board to see which part of the pile they screen that day.
