Moved to fasttech

It is a lot faster if you buy from an American shipper. I suspect it is exactly the same stuff…they buy it from FT, wait to get it delivered and make 15% for their troubles. It would not be worth the haste for me, but a lot of times I buy things from Ebay, pay a little more than I would from FT but a lot less than I would from a local B&M and have it in 2-3 days.


Example: This kit which I bought for a friend:

$46.38 Vamo V3 6-in-1 Variable Voltage E-Cigarettes Set with OLED Screen - 2*18350 / chromed brass / US plug at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

is $46 and change from Fasttech. You can get if down to about $44 with bulk buying. I got it for $50 shipped from ebay from a California seller. I suspect they have a deal with FT to get it a little cheaper. Ordered Friday, delivered Monday. Well worth the difference to me.

No, they buy from the same manufacturers. only takes an order of 20+ on most larger items. Items like Kanger heads are 200 minimum. Still if selling in 5 packs that is not many sales.
I have found great buys in 10 counts.

There are two different things that are related, but still profoundly different:

1) Fasttech is a good company that is required to function under tough rules. I will probably order again from FT, but will never order batteries. They are almost an automatic to get your order delayed. Most of my non-battery orders have been delivered in a couple of weeks. My battery orders usually never ended up getting here. It is because of where they are and the restrictions that are placed on them by their government. That is not inherently their fault.

2) The buyer's inconvenience is something that can be cost quantified. If a buyer is being inconveniences only a little, they should expect to save only a little. If they are being inconvenienced a lot, they should expect to save a lot. Depending on the item, FT may or may not be worth it. It will be interesting to see if they have a stateside presence in the future if their mailing problems continue.

I sure hope they get a hobbyking type of service for europe and offcourse for u guys an US presence.

Did I quote you in my post? ummm No
Personal issues there?
Maybe you should consider:
a) not everything is about you
b) New members could get the wrong impression and be swayed away from something they might otherwise appreciate.

No anger here - more of a over some peoples thought process

<--- you. me. --->

Just Curious...

Did your Order have any Batteries in it?

And did it go Malaysia Post?

Sorry about the late response. Haven't been on. No we had no batteries in the order. Arrived a week ago. I'm not sure which shipping option was picked. It was 3 of use with a big order so they sent it in parts.
