So I placed my order on Nov. 23rd, got my tracking number on the 25th. USPS still has no info on it, however singapore post tracking says nothing but "information received" which i'm guessing means that they got the electronic shipping info, but have not received the package. My question is how long from this point does it normally take for them to ship the package? I'm not concerned about how fast it gets to me from when it ships, I would just like to be able to know where it is.

If it is shipping via SGP, you will first get "information received". Then in 3-4 days (my experience, YMMV), it will change to "Despatched to overseas country X". X being the US in your case. After that it depends on how long it goes through your Customs and postal system. In my case, but I'm not in the US, it takes 8-10 days after it 'despatches' for it to turn up in my PO box. Nothing usually changes on mine between 'despatches' and 'the item was delivered to X'.

I'm hoping it'll leave soon for the US considering it's been a week since I got the tracking number with no update to the information received post on the tracking number.

fasttech are thoroughly supersonic for free shipping (mostly) compared with other HK/Chinese sites, it goes with the territory ordering from the land of the rising sun sometimes it's a bit quicker, sometimes it's a bit slower and sometimes it gets lost. I shipped hundreds of items to the US, recently USPS have been dreadful sometimes it takes days to update any point to point movement. Bear with it, most of us are impatient for our Vapemail ;)

It's only after the 'dispatched to overseas' that you'll be able to track it on the receiving end - thats when the data gets relayed to USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHl whoever. But since it's regular mail and not express, tracking 'check points' and updates are fewer. Free shipping means slow shipping ... Zen and the art of camping near a mailbox .... Ommmmmm...;)

My last orders via SGP took around 10 days to move from "info received" to "dispatched to country". After that they take 9-10 days to my door.

So, don't worry if the status hasn't changed yet because it seems to be normal these days.(it was much faster before)

thanks for the track shipment site. it at least shows progress with my order

Good to hear.

I'm kinda Annoyed with Fasttech right now. All the orgers that I have done in the pasted moved alone Quickly. And I received my stuff in 10~14 Days.

Since they Switched to Singapore Post, everything seems to have ground to a Halt.

For my FT Singapore Orders, I have found this site works the best.

Track Shipment(s)

Thank you so much for this share. This is the only page out of 6 or so that actually shows me ANY information about my shipment other than "information received"! It shows processed and dispatched to transshipment hub. I assume this means it was sent to the boat. I don't care about the time, but with overseas shipments, I at least want to know they are moving and your suggestion gave me that warm, fuzzy feeling.

Thanks a million!
