I just checked FT shipping options. Indeed there is a "USPS First-Class via Hong Kong Post" option for the US but not for Europe. Do you have to pay for "USPS First-Class via Hong Kong Post"?

Its free for orders over $19.10-and it varies on purchases from .001 to $19.10, an order for some .091 cents orings shows it costs $1.91 for HKP.

I'm not sure some females would appreciate opening that webpage at work? Every morning I check out the new arrivals at my ecig and model airplane websites, I like to check out Wallbuys new arrivals/group buys as sometimes there are ecig new arrivals/group buys I do not see at FC.

Okay, question. I placed my order on the 9th, it began "collecting products now" and "processing" on the 10th. It has not moved from that status since. Is this normal or should I try contacting them to see what's going on?
What have you ordered? Most items will be shipped after 3-7 days and sometimes next day. I would wait 2 more days with an email.

My Nemmy is STILL sitting in Jersey. It arrived there on the 13th and is still sitting. Gimme my Nemmy!!

I had hoped it had just missed scanning and would arrive today. The postwoman pulled up in my driveway and blew the horn. I was sooooo excited!!! She pulled out this big looooong box. I was confused. It was my sons new pool stick! :glare:

You realy ordered a lot :) . Shipping is free incl. tracking when you order for more than 15$. Sometimes item are on restocking and can cause delay. So it`s always best to select not too many items in one shipment. In your case I would mail Doris and ask whether some items are on restocking or if it would be possible to split the order.

Blah, I didn't know that in the least or I would've split it up by what I wanted sooner (mainly the RDA's) vs the smaller items I got on a whim. I'll keep that in mind for next time, thank you. And thanks for the advice. I'll drop her a line and see if there's any way to get some help on it!

That actually looks kind of cool ... This may very well become rare collectors items too!

And I just want to make it clear for lurking consumers that funkyrudi purchased these mods fully knowing ahead of time that the engravings read Npmpsis, which I think makes Rudi awesome! :)

Sorry Nikkita, I knew about this issue, but not when I ordered. After I ordered 3 more Nemesis, the first Npmpsis appeared in Germany and Doris explained the problem to me. But as I wrote, I don`t care and like them. Soon I will have 7 or 8 - I don`t know actually - Nemeses and some different tubes are not bad. ( I don`t need all these mods at the moment, but in the future, because there will be some reglementations depending ecigs in Europe - building up my stock for life )

***** Manufacturers update *****

I can't remember who, but someone recently asked who the Stingray clones on FC were made by, to which I stated I needed to investigate ...

First part of investigation is done ... The Stingray without a drip tip is made by Walrus Technology, who claims to be the originating factory/manufacturer, and not a supplier. I also have reason to believe that the BlackHawk Panzer, and Hades clones on FC are also made by Walrus. Word on the skreet is that Walrus is a good manufacturer ... but thats only the "word" at the moment.

Verdict is still out on who makes the Stingray w/drip tip, but we know from FC that its a different manufacturer ... which at closer examination is not hard to tell because the machining of the tubes are different. So I will continue investigating that one ....

As I have shown and stated in the pic I posted, the engraving is kinda deep. It's NOT a electrostatic etching as is with most clones. It has to be a laser etch.

Like Rudi said, give it another two days as shipping is estimated at 3-7days from order ... If there is no update by Thursday morning, then email them. But I can tell you now that the only reason shipments are ever delayed is due to restocking, so I doubt there is anything wrong with your order.

In case you are wondering why there would be a restocking situation for an in stock item .... if for example the vendor has only 200 pcs in stock, but they receive 350 orders for the item, there is going to be a restocking period. Being that this is the internet which is open 24hrs per day, and FC is a vendor who fills orders internationally, they cannot control how many people are checking out at the same time, for the same item across the globe .. As such it is quite easy for an otherwise in stock item, to end up in restocking for certain orders.

Makes sense. I dropped them an email just to see if something might be out of stock. I always prefer to be informed if possible. I only really even want the RDAs right now, the rest I'm on no hurry. Of course, I know better now. Next time the stuff I want will be separated out from my order if possible. :)

Oh no Rudi, don't be sorry ... sometimes we get viewers in here who DO NOT READ EVERYTHING, and I didn't want your Npmpsis order to be misunderstood. :p

I haven't been able to read the blog for a while, I think this explains the Hong Kong post shipping.
http://vaporgossip.blogspot.com/?zx=f4f4ee956394d16f

I'm really liking the Stingray on the group buy.

Glad you thought to check Doris's blog , so yeah, this explains a lot regarding HKP ...

New design FocalEcig has the function to select shipping methods depends on products you purchase.

Package with all battery must be shipped by Sweden Post.
Package with all /partial liquid must be shipped by Singapore Post
Package with partial battery, you have two choices: Singapore Post or Sweden Post
For USA customers, EUB (Epacket) is the first choice for its shipping speed if your package doesn't include battery or liquid.
New posts like HongKong Post will be added for your choices because of its speed. However, as Hong Kong Post raise shipping price and it doesn't allow ecig related products on the package, we have to take the risk if we ship by Hong Kong Post. We will consider add 1-3 dollar shipping fee.

Our system will identify your cart automatically to see if battery or liquid included.
