fastech question??

[zoiDman]

Is fasttech usually accurate with the ETA dates? I placed a big order a few days ago. 3 of my items have an ETA of July 3. I'm pretty patient just curious if I can actually expect that day for my stuff to finally ship.

This is Where FT kinda Falls Down sometimes.

Things that are Not in Stock. And say that they will ship in ___ Days.

I Learned that if I am going to place an Order for a Bunch of Stuff, to split the Order into 2 Separate Orders.

One has all the Things that are "In Stock". The Other is for All the Things that are Supposed to Ship in ___ Days.

That sucks. I should've paid attention, I just kept throwing stuff in my cart lol. Guess I'll wait and see.

They're annoying about it, certainly. Splitting the order is a good idea. But they will also sometimes split-ship without your asking-- no idea why-- and they will also lie to you about what's in stock, too. Slo-Tech is a discount house. Among other things, customer service comes at a discount there, too.

Yeah I know for next time. The item I need the most is one ETA of July 3, and I won't need it for a month, so it should still work out anyway.

I wouldn't worry too Much.

I have had Many Items that FT says will ship in 3 Days. And they Shipped in 3 Days.

The Problem many times is when OEM's hold up Fasttech. They say that they will have 500 whatevers at FT's Door on a Date. But they Don't. Or they Only send FT 250. So FT can't Ship on the Date they thought they could. Or Ship Every Order on that they have.

Trust me, FT wants to Sell/Ship as much Stuff as they Can. So as a General Rule, they Aren't sitting on Orders that they Can Ship.

Cool man. Thanks for the info.

 

[Thrasher]

Yea the eta and ship by dates arent really fasttech's fault, they can only go by the restock date given to them by suppliers.

I do the same thing and make batches.

I have even canceled, reordered and repaid using the credits given.

Make sure it says authentic for whatever you want. If it says styled it is a clone. They're a great site. Shipping can take anywhere from 10 days to 4 weeks. Everything I've ordered was right under 2 weeks. Make sure you read reviews if what you're ordering isn't authentic.

Or even 6 wks+1 day -- that's how long it took for me.

If it's something I can't get anywhere in the US (like the brass Chi You kick ring I bought from them), then I'll order from them. Otherwise, no matter how great the price, I just won't wait that long. Too many idiots between there and here, to mess it up and make it take even longer.

Hey no Problem.

At the End of the Day, FT has some Outrageously Low Prices on some items. And if you Have to have something Fast, there are Other Places that will do you Better.

But if any Extra week of Waiting is Doable, I don't have a Problem with FT.

Yep everything I ordered is wants, not needs, except this one pack of coils that can wait a good 4 weeks anyway. Worse case, I can't use that tank for a few days. I like their selection of accessories and stuff like that. They sell the subtank occs at $2 a piece also, that's less than half what my local shop sells them for.

 

[coolerat]

Parts are the honey hole!!!

Order an Atlantis base for like 5 bucks and add a 5ml tank for 4 more. 9 bucks and your driving a 5ml Atlantis. Local store is 30 bucks for Atlantis and 10 for the tank. Of coarse you could buy local and try to tell yourself that the clone is somehow different.

Bags of screws and orings are like a buck apiece. Hearing that awful sound of a tiny screw hitting the floor ruining an atty doesn't have me waking up screaming anymore.

Yeah... FT does have some Great Deals on things. Here is a Good Example...

$2.18 Pre-Coiled Wires for RBA RDA RTA Rebuildable Atomizers (50-Pack) 50-pack - 29 AWG / 1.1ohm / 0.3mm dia. / 15*15mm leads / 5 loops at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I threw a 50 Pack of these 1.1ohm Coils on an Order just to see what they were Like. I figured at $2.18 I wouldn't feel to bad if they were FUBAR.

Turns out they Work Great. And are Cheaper than Buying Wire and making them Myself.

That's in my cart lol. .8 resistance, 7 loop, some cotton, drip tips, coils, colored replacement glass. $60 worth of little things. Not in my cart, on my order placed.

 

[cocacola31173]

My first order from FastTech was for some plastic tanks for my Kayfuns. Cheapest I could find in the US was 5 dollars for one. I managed to get 8 full size ones and 5 little ones for under 10 dollars! Pretty colors too and they all fit and work great!

I have a Kayfun base on order as well as a bell cap now. I love my Kayfuns and like to dress them up!

I've tried those .8ohm by 7 Loop coils. They work Great Also.

Not to Burn Up your CC, but here are 3 other items that I think are Great Deals. And come in Very Handy for Any Vaper.

$5.10 Aluminum Stand for 510 Atomizers (7-Pack) 7-pack - 7mm(9/32 inch) / ships with one of each color at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

$0.93 Precision Stainless Steel Thrum Scissors at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

$2.46 BigBen Cotton Soft Tobacco Pipe Cleaners (50-Pack) - 165mm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

 

[Papillon61]

On several occasions, when I had items in an order that were ready to ship and one or two that had a later ETA, Fasttech split the order and sent the ones they could send separately, the rest to follow shortly.

The stands are cool but I use a big travel case so I wouldn't use them much. The other 2 items are now in my cart lol. My cc is okay, my overtime at work covers all vaping expenses!

I got those thrum scissors a while back. They don't look as good as they do in the picture by any means but they do the job. But then they are coming from right across the world for free and they cost less than the dollar store!

You can always cancel the ones waiting and re-order. It won't cost you a thing. FT credits you with gift vouchers which you can use to pay for the re-order.
