Anyone here use singapore post in the US? Does the tracking continue here?

I just did a mock order to see what mail service I could choose any it only gives me "registered airmail" I'm scared it's singapore again lol.

Here in Uruguay i have to check Uruguay Post's site after a few days. I just enter the Singapore Post tracking code on their site and it updates when it gets from customs to my door :)

I did a mock order too, I don't get offered Singapore Post unless I hit "more options" on the shipping available. $1 extra and 10-14 days in transit. Registered mail, does that mean you'll have to be home to sign for it when it gets delivered?

USPS 1st class free shipping comes with a tracking number and 5-8 days in transit. And they leave it in my mailbox cause I work days.

Good luck, Eric, bet you'll have it tomorrow!

I just did one and it looks like that is Singapore, it's the only airmail option. There isn't a 'more options' link? Maybe an account preferences thing?

I just poked around and didn't see any account preference options for preferred shipping.
In the FAQ they call the shipping I got airmail but it wasn't called that at checkout.

Same here. Mine was USPS First Class and it did not cost any extra for me to ship it that way, but now that I'm doing a mock order, I can pay $0.32 more.

Did they even offer you the Singapore shipping this time? When you go to track your package, is it on the USPS webpage you are tracking it?

I did a google search and from what I've read, it takes roughly 5-6 days for packages to go from Hong Kong to Singapore...so then, they have to ship it from Singapore to you in TX. :(

Yeah its really strange. I've been only using the singapore post site.

Eric, just what exactly was in your order? Was something backordered? Did you get juice? Batteries?

I ordered 2 bottles of juice, 2 different kinds of batteries for my mods, and my 2 evods on 5/30, received today.

I don't recall what each item said as far as "ships in x days" but here's the tracking info broken down:

Shipped 6/3
Accepted HK 6/4
Processed HK 6/5
Processed SF 6/7
Depart SF 6/7
Processed SC 6/10
Delivered my house 6/10

I thought if anything would delay it would be juice or batts, so just what exactly did you buy? Inquiring minds want to know!!

All I ordered was a pack of t4's. That's it. If it works out good I'm going to get some pannys for my EA and some evods.

That is very strange, seems all orders shipped to the US would have the same shipping options offered. However, if there is something in your order that cannot be shipped [due to regulations] by this or that company, that would explain the delay. But T4's? Come on now!

Have you contacted FT? They have excellent customer service I hear [but have no firsthand knowledge] on this forum.

Thanks! The number actually works on the usps system for the US.

This is the last and only entry.

Same for me, no 10 cent upgrade ;)

BTW, my order shipped saturday (central time), but the weird tracking number only shows this:

"Delivery status information is not available for your item via this web site. A return receipt after mailing may be available through your local Post Office."

How are y'all tracking yer stuff?

When it is initially shipped it goes out with Hong Kong Post. Your tracking number is USPS. Once USPS scans it in your tracking number will be active.

You will get new updates when USPS gets a hold of your order. Singapore never updated my packages and there are a couple that have been here for 2 weeks. Uruguay Post updated pretty fast all the orders, even with the doormans "cedula"(uruguay social security number) who was the one that received the package for me.

I've been into radio control for years and Singapore post is famous in those circles,as postal carriers started to refuse to carry Li-po batteries,good old SG became one of the few still happy to do so.

Only prob was the tracking was never updated till it got here and NZ post took over.(RC'ers.like vapers get addicted to tracking numbers)

Just be grateful they dont use swiss post.

I've had FT orders come HongKong post(very good)but they did not contain batteries.

You must've tried the Dekang. :)

I ordered a 10ml of carmel in my first order and the stuff has no scent whatsoever. I haven't even looked at it since, conteplating throwing it in the trash. The liqua is the only stuff i'd order from them juice wise, it's good for the $$.

it was a mixture.. grateful tho, now I am going to make my own.. ;)
