Well, months is a little excessive. I've only placed one order with fasttech, and it took 21 days from when I ordered it until it showed up in my mailbox.

What does it say when you bring up the tracking info?

There's one very loooooooong fasttech thread where others have posted about their experiences and gripes.

I'm not on FastTechs side, and I don't mean to minimize your experience, but honestly, once they turn your package over to HK Post, it is sort of out of their hands.

Post office seems to be screwing them right now, my order took a good amount of time to get, not months though. I like there prices but im not good at waiting. Most of the items they sell are just a little more on ebay and as long as its not listed from china it will come alot faster :)

that being said I did have to pay almost double the cost for a trident clone, $16 fast tech, $30 ebay :(

I will never ever order from this company again. Waiting for months to receive my order is unacceptable and when I write to them they tell me to call my post office and ask if they have it somewhere! #!@$$$###&^%!

When did you order

You do realize they had two national holidays, worlds largest recorded this year typhoon land on me, international shipping community change the rules mid stream on them for shipping Li Ion batteries

If you ordered Li-ion batteries you may not get it because they illegal to ship airfreight and china is cracking down and x-raying all suspicious packages and rejecting any with batteries in them. Also it's free shipping from china, it usually takes forever because they go as cheap as possible, Deal Extreme has the same deal and anything under six weeks is considered fast.

Other than a car, there's absolutely nothing I would order and wait 3 weeks to get.

That's your right as a consumer. Some are willing to trade time for money, some are okay with the wait. I won't argue the pros and cons of either side because it's all subjective.

If I want something NOW, I'll pay the extra cost and occasionally overnight shipping charges. Some things I'm okay with waiting for.

Again, it's all a matter of choice.

Fasttech orders seem to be moving a little now. My order from Sept 19 shows it left Hong Kong for destination as of today.
It does have a battery in the order. ITaste VV V3, so it's not a battery by itself. My understanding (which is normally wrong) that batteries are okay to ship if they are in a device or a safe container.

Curious to why you would order the iTaste VV V3 from Fasttech for $40.00 when for $45.00 minus their 5% off coupon making it $42.74 you can have the color you want plus a free Innokin neck pouch lanyard and have it in 2-3 days. Innokin iTaste VV V3 Passthrough Battery

    The kit from fasttech is for the starter kit, which includes outlet plug and 5 iclear 16's, the one you listed is just for the battery and usb cable, so paying more for less. The best I have found the whole kit stateside is about $55 shipped.

    People need to understand why, and when to order from fasttech.
    It is YOUR choice to choose where you order your stuff from. So the only person you need to reach out and complain to...is yourself. There is certain things you do not need to buy from fasttech. fasttech should not be your go to place for replacements, and or something you need right away. The privilege of ordering from fasttech is you run across a hot deal every now and again. That does not mean you get to have it at your door within a week. Fasttech IS NOT an ecig vendor. They have a HUGE distribution center, retailing a wide variety of discounted items. I would love to see a 24 hour order inventory sheet. Not only do they have thousands of vapers purchasing items daily, they have thousands of other customers as well. Not to mention its a trend to abuse their "free shipping" and order each item individually. ( Turning packaging, and labeling, and shipping into a multiple part equation)

    Fasttech is order and forget! Don't order something so important your counting down the days it takes to arrive. I currently have a mech mod and a RDA coming from them. I do not need these things now, and I would only hope it comes to my door by my birthday. My birthday is the 27th of this month and I ordered OCT 1. BUY bulk if the wait is too long. Dont order 5 protank heads when you have 2 left. buy 30 protank heads.

    End rant. - Happy vaping :p

    I got my Itaste vv v3 for $37 shipped - took 3 days
    Ivape.net with a coupon code I no longer know off the top of my head.

    This is what the kit includes. Besides the wall plug you get 4 iClear 16's which are junk IMO.
