Fast Tech package tracking? Feedback?

[BatKami]

Have any of you ever ordered from fast tech its my first time ordering and I know they ship from China. So my question to you all is if you could recommend any tracking sites that will actually turn up some information for me that would be great! I just want to know where my package is and I am having the hardest time trying to get any info. fast tech customer service has been helpful but they are like 13 hours ahead of my time zone, and yeah. I'm impatient and I want my package already. Lol.

No way. Tracking is nearly non-existent. Thanks to China mail and USPS.
EDIT: It's free shipping, isn't it? Means free from tracking.

What shipping method did you choose? If you select USPS E-packet delivery (free for orders over $20, otherwise it costs about a dollar) then you get an actual USPS tracking number which will update once the package reaches the States. Until then, you'll just get the "Acceptance" and "Processed through sort facility" notices from China, then complete silence for a couple weeks while it rides the slow boat over this way.

If you did not pay the extra charge for upgraded shipping, you will not get any tracking info. It will just show up one day.

If you paid the $1.80 (or whatever it is now) you should get a tracking number you can use to see the progress of your items.

This tracking number is next to useless anyway - I've had many instances of my package showing as still in China and it was sat in my mailbox.

I've ordered dozens of time from FT with no problems.

Once your package reaches the US the number will work.

Until then, it's Chinese postal service so it's a crapshoot.

If your order was over $15-20 it usually takes 9-14 days to arrive with free shipping option. ( unless US customs is being lazy).


Under $15-20 with free shipping gets the slow boat and could take a while.

Yup this. Kinda random whether the Chinese postal service ever registers the tracking number. Last one I had showed up as processing until it hit the states, my latest order (from around a week ago) the number still doesn't work yet.

Gotta love overseas shipping times...

It's an even trade with FT ...free international shipping, wholesale level pricing, and the largest inventory of vape gear on earth.

Also this probably won't help shipping times over the next couple days...

I chose epacket delivery. So I guess I just have to wait for the package to get to the states. Because every time I check the tracking number given to me it says it's not found

I use the $1 Swiss post option and get much better tracking.

Moved to FastTech

I used to use the E-packet through USPS, most of the time now I'll try to use the 'USPS Expedited for battery product' shipping option as that has been my shortest wait time yet of 10 days. Mind you, I'm on the east coast of the US if that matters.

Pretty much whatever shipping option you choose from Fasttech you can almost guarantee you'll not have a single tracking update for nearly a week until it clears US customs then you'll finally get an update from tracking. Patience is key, ordering things you don't mind waiting for is another key to Fasttech.

This is what I'm slowly learning. I'm in Illinois my vape Mail just got shipped out last Friday. So I think for my next order I will be using the usps expedited for battery product

I used 17track.net to track orders when i was still ordering from FT regularly, it usually gave me more info than USPS etc.

 

[albcig]

17track is pretty useful with FT. your package will arrive. you just need patience. many of us order from FT and are used to loooong waiting times.

 

[BatKami]

I'm on 17track.net rn. So now what I do as far as what postal service

As soon as it arrives in the US, the tracking number will work through USPS.com
Until then it won't work.
It's not under FTs control, it's the postal service in China.
It's not like USPS.
Trust me, give it a few days to get to this side of the world and it will work.

Just click on the big blue box and enter the tracking #, it should find it (if theres record of it).

Anytime.
Also I think it's a national holiday in China right now. (Oct.1-7)
When they have holidays, literally everything shuts down until it's over
