Yeaaa the old format is back!!! but for the life of me I do not see a Hong Kong post option for shipping, I probably just need more coffee.
Right now its 3 options up.
First singapore, 2-china (what is usually HK), 3-EMS. Before it did popped options with HK - free, HK - large. that's why in way i summed china=HK. But the point is for my shipping for past 6 orders i did pick all of those but they all turned out Singapore.

I placed order with EMS with FT for extra $2 and it was on road from 04.04 - 14.04 (well i did say before my order was delayed for 3 weeks).
And it is nohow FC issue - it's Singapore problems and everyone knows about it. But why the hell they did use those guys for my mail again:(
Sorry, i'm just venting really, such bad surprise.

HHMM the new window that pops up when I click the buy button on the group buy Stingray is very confusing, I hit the drop down and select United States, then click EUB shipping option, the country changes to United Arab emirates, says loading and then locks up??

I think the 2nd shipping option, posten is Swiss post??

Calgon take me away!! The shipping at FC is too confusing-and I need more coffee.

Swiss has yellow color with something red on it... in any case Swiss as bad as Singapore if not worse.

I hate Swiss post, super super slow. Please excuse me today, this new pop up confusion is making me have a Calgon moment and yes what happened to the easy to understand HKP option?

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! :)

Now I could upload the pics. Here`s the Npmpsis

Ok, my fellow Focalites, I just wanted to share with you an email that I received from Doris regarding the new changes regarding the FC website. Most of you are already aware that these changes have been made however, its always nice to receive an official word straight from the horse's mouth. :)


"Dear Nicole,

Sorry for late reply. Hope you are doing great ;)

You know, things changed. It is not just web design which you can see from focalecig.com. The system has been changed too. Since the shipping options caused trouble sometimes for our customers, we added choices for our customers and our system can identify what posts are usable for customers who bought batteries, liquid or people who came from the USA. In this case, customers will be easier to choose the shipping methods depends on what they purchased. Meanwhile, our system has added some new functions. There is page only for mobile phone customers. Though the function is limited at the moment, we are still improving. You know, all for our customers.

We might redesgin the website, i mean, the appreance and some buttons which helps customers to purchase or search easier."

Laylel .. some manufacturers want their products associated with a higher end because they feel that a low price = low quality, and so they don't want their brand associated with low quality.

Yiloong (maker of Fogger, and Slimzy hybrid) is one manufacturer who often enforces a "MSRP" at a certain price point as a condition for supply ... If the vendor does not agree to list the product at the set price by Yiloong, then Yiloong will cease to provide future inventory to them. That is why the new Fogger V4 is set so high at FT, even as US vendors are selling it for the same exact price, some US vendors have even sold it for lower than FT.

:blink::blink::blink:
I kinda don't get it. FC put low price and supplier did it with purpose.... ha?, how the hell supplier cares what price FC put down, when they anyway got there's money... How that's matter what FC does, even if they give it away for free it does not effect supplier.

Or i'm missing something?

Huh?

My Tobeco KF came from FT.

Sent from a BIG phone.....Galaxy Note 3

Because FT was able to secure them through a supplier, not direct from Tobeco .. Don't forget that there are two ways to secure any particular manufacturers product. You can buy direct from Hcigar, Tobeco, EHpro, and you can buy through a secondary supply house that carries multiply brands.

Well, i guess i will have to contact FC.
I just did place an order, i made sure i placed HK mail services... trucking number FFFF Singapore. Some of my orders shipped on march 31 still didn't come in country. I'm so ....... And if before i was not sure, i could blame myseft for not paying attention, this time, no, i did pick HK. Other month of waiting for my package:(

Yes, contact FC and ask because it may be a default setting for your Country ... not saying this for sure, but if you selected one carrier, and your order defaulted to another, there has to be some type of system setting defaulting to Singapore, which may, or may not be for good reason.

Have you used HKP before from FT??

Plan on putting a Taifun GT on the Pisces and a KFL on the SR


.... That is if it's ok with you Nikki :thumbs:

:laugh: ... Actually Nikki says you need a Kayfun 3.1 for the Pisces, a 23mm Vela, Panzer, or Chi You for the Taifun, and the SR is just perfect with the KFL. :D :thumb: ... Women know best, so chop chop mister ;-)

I don`t know about the EMS delivery option ( I´m in Europe ), but I know from Doris why they stopped or better had to stop shipments via HK Post and switched to SG Post. HK Post doesn`t want to transport ecig stuff any more. Doris said that it might be possible to ship some atties or minor stuff in the future.

The reason for HK Post decision could be the change in international shipping guidelines for batteries. That´s why FT stopped working with HK and ships now batteries with Malaysia Post. It`s still allowed to ship batteries, but they need a save package and extra labels on the parcel. I think, many ecig companies still tried to ship batteries ( all parcels will be scanned before they get in the plane ) and HK is sick of that.

Ordered a Vella a week and a half ago anticipating you would say this. I have a KF3.1 on my Nemmy right now. I suppose I COULD change it..lol

I currently have a HKP package MIA from FT, its a Launcher V2 mod and a clearo sent on March 31st. The Launcher V2 I order a couple months ago I had sent China post and received it pretty quick once it was in stock but this one I sent HKP. I may have messed up again and ordered a 3rd Launcher a couple days ago also HKP so I may have another MIA and debating ordering a 4th China post. Normally when I order something I order at least 2 of it, one for me and one for my brother.

My last 12 orders from FT I had sent HKP and I did not have a problem including a empty flashlight but maybe I just got involved in one of the HKP xray scans and it is going to take awhile.

I think I fiqured out what is the 2nd option on the FC pop up on the group buy--It is Sweden post-not Swiss post.

On to some good news I did receive the Kangertech mini protank from FC today--ordered from the group buy on the 2nd --yeaa!!

I am a little hesitate to send any females to the FC site, I'm afraid they will click on the Wallbuys link then look at the new arrivals.

Ahahaha ... smart man ;-) .. Well, the 3.1 and Nemmy is also a nice pairing, but its Spring time, so the Nemmy might really appreciate the 3D now .. the Pisces will be great with the 3.1 provided that the Pisces has an adjustable 510 connection (does it? :unsure) But I can see it in my mind's eye *so sexy* :banana:

I have my Taifun GT set up with my Vela in 350 mode, and everyday I tell it how sexy it is :laugh: .. After you get everything remixed, PICS PLEASE! :D
