Well I decided to give this shipping option a go and see if it is faster... I placed an order on the 8th of only products that were in stock and ship next day... order was packaged and shipped on the 10th...not really next day... I will post again when it arrives....hopefully soon...
Keep in mind the local time in Hong Kong and that they are on the other side of the International Date Line.
I have three packages from FT that are all "International item has left originating country and is en route to Canada".
The oldest of them has been in that state since August 27th.
Two packages are epacket and the one is batteries so regular shipping. I wouldn't be surprised if I get them all at the same time. I don't mind the long ship time, it's the tracking not changing that drives me nuts on my hourly tracking checks
What's the longest you guys have been in that "state"?

I ordered on the 26th and shipped on the 27th. Was dispatched to Canada on the 30th. Mine does have a battery in it though. I would expect it within the next week. I've done the same in the past- did a couple of orders and they arrived on the same day.
Well the of the three orders the last one has arrived in Richmond...weird, maybe the other two are through and just not showing on tracking as vincom said.
whenever i ordered anything from the u.s. tracking info stops when it hits the border and then gets updated when it actually gets delivered , usps and canada post tracking dont seem to be integrated, i would assume the same for any international shipments using postal services.
if shipped via ups or fedex they would have accurate tracking

2 are through customs and with Canada Post, just waiting on the spinner 2's which I figured would take longer!
I've got another spinner II style coming as well. Did have an issue with one that died after 2 months, but only had to ship it back to Florida, instead of China. They gave me a store credit for the shipping and are sending me back another spinner. I have liked everything I've gotten from Fastech-great prices-customer service-warranty. Can't beat em
I have 2 orders that came in yesterday and today from fasttech and it got here in Montreal in 2 weeks, pretty fast and good products.
Someone else may be able to answer better but I'm under the impression that fasttech likely lowers the customs value of the package as much as possible. Anything under 20$ is cleared but anything over 20$ you take a risk.
I think the trick is to order multiple smaller orders to avoid duties.

Generally, anything under $20 CAD is duty free. Anything over that, you may have to pay.

I've used it for non battery or juice orders. One arrived in under a week, others 2-3 weeks. Usually worth the couple bucks.
