Waiting for a Vamo V3 kit. It was accepted in Hong Kong Sep. 7. I think yesterday the tracking changed to "Origin Post is preparing shipment". How can I find out what my packages ETA is?

This Sucks. I just ordered this weekend not knowing of this problem and expecting about 2 weeks for delivery. If I had known, I would not have gotten the eGo kit and just the other stuff (no liquid), then it would not have been a problem, but the 1 kit has batteries in it. It is saying "acceptance" at HK post, but because of the eGo who knows if it will get shipped. Well I guess I will wait and see for a week or so and see what happens.
HK customs doesn't seem to be focusing only on orders with liquid and/or batteries. My order of drip tips and RDAs has been "preparing for shipment" since the 3rd. I could have swam to Hong Kong and picked it up by now.
I know it's not fasttech's fault, but an email explaining the delay would be a nice bit of customer service.

dont know if they will be jerks and send vape gear back as well. oh well guess ill just have to wait it out and hope my package isnt lost. This sucks, the mech im borrowing is going back home tomorrow, back to the dang ego twsite
maybe i can extend its stay, teh owner just ordered batteries for it from fast tech, dont think he will see those soonNow I'm wishing I didn't order 2pk of 18650 batteries:-( I got 3 mods, 3 rda's & 7 rba's sitting in hong kong since sept.5th
Damn it!!!
Damn it!!!
Some activity in my order on Aug 31...USPS tracking status changed today to:
Processed Through Sort Facility
September 13, 2013, 8:27 am
HONG KONG AIR MAIL CENTRE, HONG KONG
It appears that my order containing starter kit (2 1300a ego batteries etc) and separate package of clearos has been scanned/examined now and are either headed to the US/San Francisco or possibly back to FastTech....hopefully next tracking status will be "departed"...

Looking good, it will be annoying if that's what tracking changes to if it gets rejected.
I wish my FT orders would hurry up. One package has a ego battery, a tank and a lanyard but it has has no movement since sept. 7th. The other order is just drip tips and it says it has been processed through center on the 15th but has had no movement yet. There prices are great but I never expected it to take so long. My orders were placed on Sept 1st. I know it's not FT's fault but I think if I had known everything I know now I don't think I would have ordered. If I knew I was going to get my stuff I would feel a lot better but I'm worried they will send it back and I will end up with nothing.
My order (ego batteries, starter kits and seperate package of clearos) on evening of August 31, took an extra 7-8 days, 18 days total instead of the usual 10-12 day, no biggie..and I received it today....I'll continue to use fasttech and expect shipping to be a lil slower and plan ahead..all things considered, all went fairly well and was handled good by Fasttech..can't blame fasttech for backlogs at Hong Kong Post and customs just because customs decided to inspect every package instead of their usual 1%...
heck, I just waited 15 days for a small shipment (lil car portable air compressor) from Harbor Freight from Cali to Massachusetts, plus had to pay for shipping and taxes..so 18 days from Hong Kong was very good I think, and no taxes or shipping fees and great low prices....

My orders usually take 10 days but this is day 18 and the package with the battery still says its being processed. No big day but I don't like waiting....haha
My order now says processed through sort facility does that mean it has gone thru? Is it on it's way?
This is what a typical shipment looks like...from Hong Kong to your house.."processed through sort facility" does mean it has gone thru the post office and customs and Is on it's way...

This is great news. But my drip tips have been there for 5 days without movement.
My mod has been sitting in the HK post office since 9/10. I've never had a shipment from China take so long, and I've ordered hundreds of things for my R/C helicopters and ecigs. I am tired of my ego batteries and assumed that(based on fastech's shipping estimate) that I would have my mod by now. I'm getting close to telling paypal to refund my money and just go buy a provari from a US website.
One of my orders came in today. Drip tips. I checked it this morning and it was in Hong Kong (it was processed through the sort facility over a week ago) I went to the mail box 7 hrs later and it was in the mail box. I checked the tracking on it and it had updated to delivered. Who knows when I will get my other oder. (A battery)
That is some effective tracking... mine has said processed through hong kong for 8 days, maybe it is actually moving!!!
I have an itaste mvp in there I am impatient!!! LOL
I had placed 2 orders. One order was just drip tips and the other one was a battery. It took 21 days on the drip tips and 23 days on the battery. When I tracked them it said it had been prrocessed through Hong Kong but it sat there for weeks with no movement. Then on both orders they appeared in my mail box even though it said it was in Hong Kong.
Oh by the way Ross you are going to love the MVP! That is my main device even though I have others.
USPS is not known for quickly updating their tracking system and any movement on packages..be patient , U will get your packages, or a refund if it gets lost or damaged either by Chinese postal companies or USPS..
