I think you should be able to track it using a website called 17track or something like that.

There is no accounting for the whims of fasttech, it's very hard to predict how long it will take. I'm not in Ireland but I can very much say that it depends on the whims of fate to my location, customs, when it gets put on the boat etc.

With FT shipping times are estimates at best . I will say, they have never once lost an order of mine so if I don't need something like, yesterday, it's a great option for me. Etc.

Yes, I got a tracking number but there has being no change on details for a couple of days. I was just wondering if it left China would I get any more tracking details. Il just have to wait patiently I suppose.

Here in the US our tracking shows when it gets here. Sometimes the package will languish for several days at the China port first. If you know what carrier China will hand off to you should be able to sign up for alerts now since you have a tracking number.


So...what did you order?

After leaving China, it won't (in my experience) update again until it arrives in your country. China to Canada has taken anywhere from 2 days to 1 month.

    Hi all,
    Does anybody know how long it takes for package to get to Ireland under e packet express. Also after it leaves China will I see anymore tracking info.

    I'm in new Zealand - typically an epacket delivery is 2 weeks from shipped to my door. You'll get an update once it's in Ireland

    I find, when ordering from China, your best bet is to immediately forget about it. Otherwise you will be trying to check in daily and updates will be few and far between. It gets maddening so just put it out of your mind and one day in the future you will get a surprise package on your doorstep. How exciting will that be? Getting to open a box with no idea of who sent it and what’s inside. Then Viola!! some new vape gear you vaguely remember needing or wanting.

    And therein lies the key to dealing with H.A.T. As has been said, it basically matters not what they promise you, they don't always live up to promises and many of them are just lies from the very start. Why I did very little business with them. Sometimes (rarely) I got packages in an amazingly short time (small items delivered 6-8 days after order placed). But mostly it was as @madstabber, suggested... buy from them if you wish then forget about it.
    An order with them many years ago for two in stock items took 2 months to be fulfilled. My last order with them took just over a month for items that some of were already in stock and that some of were due in stock within a week. Within a week was not so, they kept changing the date. They sent them in three packages when they finally shipped, and even the in stock items package took 12 days to get shipped and another 12 days until it was delivered. In stock means they will ship when they get around to it, actually shipping means when they get around to giving the package to China Post, passing their customs can take many days with the update dates changed but with no movement of the package, then the ride across the pond... and this last time delays on the 3 packages clearing US customs that had never been an issue before. To add salt to the wound, they had lied to me about the 3 most expensive of the items that I specifically asked them about before buying them... they were not even close to what they said they were and are totally useless junk to me. Their first customer service fix for that mistake entirely on their part... see if I can resell them myself to recover the money I spent. The other hoops I would not jump thru. That was my last order with them, I closed my account (and that even took more than a week of them pestering me daily to stay with them and work it out before they finally accepted that I would never buy from them again before they finally stopped contacting me and closed it AFAIK).

    I just ordered some muji cotton pads, some wire and tweezers. Cotton pads are harder to come by here in Ireland and a lot of places UK won't ship them outside the UK. I recently bought a kayfun prime and I am having serious issues with wicking. All I have is cotton bacon v2.

    ThIs thread may help with the prime.

    What problem are having with the wicks? I use a Kayfun Prime every day--it's my favorite. Both Cotton Bacon and Muji cotton work fine.

    Do you know this important trick? Before you open or close the Juice flow control, invert the RTA. I never get leaks this way.

    So when filling... invert -> close juice flow -> turn right side up -> open top and fill -> close top -> invert -> open juice flow

    I buy nearly all my vape hardware from Fastech because prices are almost always competetive, usually better, and because their selection of accessories is unmatched. (My last order, still in transit includes several sizes of dripper bottles.) After 4 years vaping I have everything necessary to vape for years without purchasing anything so if it takes weeks or a month to arrive there is no hardship. Keep an eye on stock status. If it says pre order may be wait until that status has improved. An item might be marked as ships in 5 days. Take note. I'm sure there are many items that FT only buys as needed which slows things down. In the mean time FT is one of a kind for selection and price. If you are in a hurry pay more and buy from a seller in the country where you live.
