Is It Fastech or USPS

[Scottzilla]

I placed an order on the 4th with fasttech. It was shipped on the 9th and is still sitting in Hong Kong. This is my 6th order so I know it takes time, but damn 11 days and it hasn't moved. I'm starting to think the problem isn't fastech but USPS. I placed a 7th order because I couldn't pass up the PT2 clones price. I hope those don't take this long.
Anybody have any ideas what would cause a package to sit in one place for so long?

It's neither, it is Hong Kong's postal system. There are many threads about this ok. They are not allowing lithium batteries through.

Pick the USPS option. It will get there quicker.

 

[Scottzilla]

Damn I had batteries on that order

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Batteries from FastTech are being rerouted through China Post and thus the delay.

Thanks for all the info guys. I wish I had known sooner I would have put the batteries on a separate order.

And add this to the existing troubles:
Hong Kong braced for 'strongest storm on earth'...

Last order I receive from china took 5 days just to leave china, but was in my vapebox within 2 weeks from order. Ordered a I-Atty genesis clone from fast tech, on the shipping info it said something like 7 business days till shipping, thought that was fast till I notice that it said scheduled to ship on 9/16 which was 7 business from date of placing order, so add 2 weeks from that date, week from Monday is when I expect it. $16 with shipping plus 3 weeks wait, still a good price for a decent genesis clone to try my hand at. Luckily while waiting I ordered, received and built my Russian rba, so not Jonesing for the genesis that bad. lol. got to read all the fine print when ordering from china, and have patience too. Should be called "When I get around to it Tech" or "Snail Tech" not "Fast Tech" by any means of the name, maybe "Future Tech" would be more appropriate, since I'm getting my product in the future. lmao

I have had an order that was shipped on the 6th of Sept and spent 13 days in Hong Kong. Heres the bad news for all of you.........NO BATTERIES in the order.

 

[StrangeCloudz]

It is probably slowtech, lol....

My orders take about 8- 11 biz days. Funny thing is tracking will indicate it's in HK and then all of a sudden it's with Canada Post.

ive done eight orders with fast-tech, all were received in two weeks or less to the usa. they usually leave fast-tech within a day or two.. cant complain a bit, especially given the price.

Same thing here. I usually get orders from Fasttech in 7 to 12 days. I placed an order on the 5th, it shipped on the 6th, and is STILL in Hong Kong! It's been sitting there for 14 days now. I've never had to wait this long before. Just glad there is nothing I'm in critical need of in that order, so I shall just patiently wait I guess.

Yeah this is not unusual for a Chinese supplier (even with the Typhoon). Get used to it. You actually get similar (but not quite as ridiculous) delays when you order something from the US when you live abroad. Customs checks and all that jazz.

my order has been entered into the USDA data base, so it's at least at the airport. if not on the plane. Loved the tracking system the Price Angels used, you could track you order from ware house to customs, to port of entry, to port of export, then straight into the USPS data base. Didn't make it move any faster, but was reassuring that it was on it's way and into the states and so forth.

 

[second2none]

my order has been sitting over a week . heads n bottles and a tank

 

[WonderfulDakota]

I ordered a Vamo V3 on August 30th, it shipped on September 6th, and it's STILL sitting in Hong Kong 2 weeks later. First and LAST order from SlowTech.

*edit* I didn't order any batteries, just the Vamo.

shipment's from china was probably delayed further since Yesterday was World & National Vape Day. I know my juice form Alien was delayed, was supposed to get here today, but is in Kent. lol

Mine shows in HK since 09/12/13...uggh

Either it HAS left and is just in a cargo container on the "slow boat from china" or it's in a long line waiting to go thru the daggum x-ray machine...fooey!

And not to mention this!

It's not fasttech!

It's all the other things that bring the package to you!

Get a clue!

The only time fasttech is slow is when the product ships in a certain days on the page. That's when they obtain the product from warehouse.

And even that I find is faster than I though I might get!

If you want to vent some, do it to HK mail and USPS. They are much much worse than you would ever imagine!

Cheers and hope everyone gets their package soon ......-er!
