How long does a fasttech order take to get to you?

[FailRated]

So I'm like 2.5 weeks into waiting for a big order from fasttech, (shipped 10 days ago), & when I track package it just says "despatched overseas (US)"

love that ingrish...should I expect before Christmas? The worst part is, now that I've done a bunch more research, I'd like to order something different!

I'm kind of curious about this as well. Honestly, the potential long wait has been the only thing holding me back from making my first fasttech order.

I feel your pain I did something similar: I ordered some mini protank 2s from ...........com and by the time I got it (almost three weeks) I had already ordered an eleaf lemo rta, vaped on it for a while and decided I was done with clearos. I've kind of learned the hard way that when it comes to e-cig stuff impulsive buys aren't that good of an idea.

They should be called "slowtech"

Did you order batteries or anything that has a battery built into it?

 

[FailRated]

Yes, a spinner 1100

Can't speak for the US, but I've had orders without batteries/liquids take from 12 to 30 days to Mexico. The longest wait time between transitions seems to be the 'dispached to overseas' portion. One of my orders was in that stage for over 3 weeks. Once it transitions to 'arrived at overseas', and is handed off to the Mexican post office, it's usually here within 3 or 4 days. My latest order arrived a day after being updated to 'arrived...'. I think the Singapore Post tracking website is slow to update.

Best advice for Fast Tech...order it and forget about it. The wait times can vary by as mych as 2 weeks, but rest assured it'll arrive. In 7 orders from them, I've never had one fail to arrive or get hung up in customs.

*Edit...if you ordered batteries as you stated above, expect to wait longer. That's a different, slower shipping method, I believe. It says right on the website, orders with batteries will take 30 to 60 days in transit.

Mine was 7 weeks the one I actually got that was right...it was some eGo lanyard doohickeys..the 8 week order for drip tips in all the wrong colors and one odd ball on size (thought I'd order piddly stuff to check them out) and glad I did..

SLOW crap Tech..no thanks!

I have been averaging right around 21 days from order to mailbox.

I've been using China Post (USPS Express ePacket via China Post) for the last several orders.

My most recent package was ordered on the 27th of October, dispatched overseas on the 30th, and will be in my mailbox within two hours (as long as it's my regular mail carrier, lol).

For me it's like 6 months, though my first order last years was 3 months; but I'm not in the USA.
My last order, I had the option for Swiss Post for $1, and the improvement was huge; Ordered Oct 4th: Received Nov 10th.

I have ordered from fast tech three times. First one took around 4 weeks, second one took 2 weeks and the last one is yet to arrive. The last one has been 1 month so far but it is for VTC5's which have to be sent on ships. I hear it can take upwards of 3 months. Fast tech isn't the fastest way of getting stuff but you certainly can't beat the prices. If I'm in a rush it's B&M but Fast tech is has such great pricing it's hard to resist.

Here in sweden it takes 4 weeks :/

Well, you might have a long wait ahead of you. Mine has been on the bumboat for about 3.5 months. Untrackeable from the start. Sent a ticket to fasttech and they say it will take about another 2 months for the postal agent to determine the whereabouts of the batteries. If it's lost, they'll either refund me or reship again. I expected to receive the batteries sometime in 2015 when I ordered anyway.

6 business days over 5 orders .. I only order stuff that is "In Stock" or "Ships next day" though.

 

[twgbonehead]

I've ordered lots of stuff from FastTech. Almost always >2 weeks and less than 4 weeks. (One order, just before the Chinese New Year got lost, and took about 4 months to get resolved, but that was an exception).

It will almost certainly get to you.

DON'T ORDER LOOSE BATTERIES FROM FASTTECH! Ordering packaged batts (i.e. egos, etc) is OK, but ordering 18650's from them is just dumb.

JMHO, hope it helps.

to here in illinois(US)


standard free shipping = 2 months

using singapore post = 14 days from order to door(all items in stock when order placed) ALWAYS

Ain't that the truth! I change my mind then change it back waiting on the slow boat. Mine take on average 3 weeks to my mail box but you can't beat a $7 Atomic or $15 Magma clone. Batteries: never, they take way too long. And like has been suggested; always make sure it's in stock.

 

[tFOrRESTee]

I ordered twice and it took about 3 weeks.

I ordered the 3rd time last week and used a new credit card. They asked me for the picture of my card for verification. It's just about 100 bucks and I have ordered twice before, and they still needed it for a hundred buck transaction, lol. After I uploaded it, they told me one of the items was no longer available yesterday. Now I have to wait for them to update my new selection since it's already weekend for them in Hong Kong. This is gonna be long....

It usually takes about 3 weeks to Sweden & i always choose registered mail.

 

[Gabiano87]

they really have become fast tech to me in th uk. 6 day on alot of orders, nothing over 2 weeks for months now. I always use china post and keep orders small and broken up. when i first started using them 3 or 4 large orders never turned up and hassle with refund. once you learn the ft system its very good. you gotta play the game.

 

[Pclarity]

Just got some kanthal for my first builds. And a couple of Smok mini drippers. I'm unimpressed with the mini drippers, but making my first build was awesome! I think all I have left coming is a couple of drip tips. I went a lil nuts this week lol.

 

[Wolfenstark]

Around 14-16 days from wherever they come from to me on the West Coast of Australia.
