Is It Fastech or USPS

[Thrasher]

I guess its only fitting that as americans No one can read the huge yellow banner on the top of the FT page every day for at least 10 days now


Packages shipped via Hong Kong Post may currently take longer to deliver due to increased customs/postal service inspections [details here]

news of this coming has been posted randomly here and there for weeks if not months.

My FT package was shipped back to FT and I'm getting a refund. There was no contraband in it, they just sort of said that they were all sent back...

Lots of other people's seem to be moving, so if you didn't get an email there's a decent chance yours is going to start moving now.

Gonna just have to wait it out...the Hong Kong post is now having to queue all packages for xray...just wait...as soon as they realize this is going to cost them serious revenue all of a sudden things will ship faster.

The postal services are afraid of batteries now.

Nothing we can do about it.

Because of a thunder storm???
If it's in SanFran you should see it within the next 2-3 business days (Tues. or Wed.).

No, because of the typhoon heading for Hong Kong. I used to live in Florida. I ain't afeerd of no thunder storm. LOL

That banner wasn't there when I ordered on August 30th. But thanks for the snark, we all love that. *eyeroll*

My stuff has been in Hong Kong for 5 days, guess I have long time to wait.

 

[dice57]

5 days of waiting in Hong Kong seems to be the standard amount of time before leaving that country, and that is when there is no delays. lol

The only thing I seemed to be able to get a fast delivery from FastTech WAS batteries. Ordered on 9/10 tried to cancel the order on ordered on 9/11 in my mail box on the West Coast on the 16th, go figure.

 

[ddarlington24]

Well this was my first-time order from fasttech at the time didn't even know they were in china. Ordered on 9/10 still sitting in HK at acceptance status. Maybe 5-7 days I broke down and bought another ego type battery the waiting got the most of me.

I ordered a ego-vv clone plus 2 evod tanks charger, lanyard, ego case, and replacement coils @ $36

My order just states "dispatched to overseas' . I know it sounds like a stupid question but does anyone know if that litreally means it has been sent to me or that it is still waiting to be sent??

 

[GranFumador]

I've written previously that the problem was neither FT nor USPS, but the Hong Kong postal service. Now I'm wondering


First-Class Package International Service

Depart USPS Sort Facility September 21, 2013 SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94128

International Letter Processed through USPS Sort Facility September 21, 2013, 6:39 am SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94128

Processed Through Sort Facility September 20, 2013, 8:33 am HONG KONG AIR MAIL CENTRE, HONG KONG

Acceptance September 9, 2013, 2:45 pm HONG KONG


OK, so it left the San Fran. sort facility two days ago, and then what happened?

Does a package clear customs before or after the sort facility?
---------------------

Late-breaking news: The package showed up in my mailbox today. USPS received it in San Francisco on 21 Sept., and delivered it to the back end of nowhere in Maine on the morning of the 24th. Not bad.

Wish mine from the 10th said that.

I take it its a good sign that it says that then??!

Mine order from the 7th says "acceptance" since the 10th, I would think 'dispatched to overseas' would be movement TOWARD ME, not just sitting.

[coisfharraige123]

Yeah I am hoping and would believe the same but was just enquiring as I am not sure of what the exact descriptions mean from fasttech or if they write things differently etc!!

 

[WonderfulDakota]

Ordered on 8/30, shipped on 9/5, sat in Hong Kong until 9/21, received it this morning 9/23. I've already glued pink rhinestones into the divots. I'm a happy vaper!

 

[Scotte98]

Placed an order on the 6th with no batt still in holding. Wonder if saving 20 bucks on the vamo v3 was worth it?
