Was in a hurry to get some stuff from fasttech, so i paid for DHL... 33 dollars to Japan.
But... 10 days after the order was placed, the shipment was still bobbing around in in Hong-Kong.
I asked fasttech, what was up, and they told me DHL suddenly changed their shipping policy... not shipping vape stuff to Japan anymore... god knows why... it's not like it's illegal here.
So... they wanted me to pay another 25 dollars (discounted by fasttech from 34 dollars) for USPS shipping... because Corona in Hong-Kong they said it wouldn't be possible to get it back to Shen-Zen for a cheaper shipping option.... and the extra 25 (USPS price 34) dollars because Fukuoka is considered a remote area by USPS... ****
I managed to negotiate them down to 15 dollars plus 10 percent off my next order. Though i was not happy with having to pay even more than what i thought already was an exorbitant shipping bill, i'm still satisfied with fasttech customer service... very responsive and accomodating... and i believe the DHL debacle truly wasn't their fault.
The shipment finally arrived thirty days later, after a lot of back and forth.
So i ordered some more stuff from them... this time by Japan e-packet... wish me luck.
