So I ordered something from Fastech...

[MattB101]

Well that slow shipping makes me not want to ever order anything from them. I will just stick to US sellers. I imagine most US sellers for ejuice use USPS for basic shipping. Which is what they usually use on amazon as well. That shipping is never really slow. lol. Off amazon I usually get my item is 2--3 days after they ship it out. There is no way I would order from a place that is going to make me wait so long on shipping. The reason i choose the cheapest shipping is to save money. Saving money is the whole reason I am even considering ordering juice online. If I got to shell out even a couple extra bucks I might as well order from a US seller. Quicker shipping and many have a flat rate shipping price anyways that is affordable.

I wouldn't buy e-juice from China either.

I ordered my k100 from FastTech, mainly because they were the only ones I knew of that supplied the tri-color k100 in the colors I wanted, and it took a month and a half for me to receive it. It was on hold in China for about 3 weeks of that. I knew that it was going to be a long wait so it didn't bother me that much and it was super cheap so I can't really complain.

I guess I'm getting bored with this forum because these threads are daily. I have been ordering from FT for the last year and a half and am extremely happy with my purchases. I can wait three weeks til my order comes in. It's a shame you all can't. If you want to save money you will learn to time your purchases and take your chances. Research and forums will give you all the info you need. This instant gratification crap gets old quick so grow up.

Start talking multiple months before you talk down on us. I paid, they took my money, they lost my package and are waiting months to replace it. Tell me how well YOU would respond in that scenario. And by months, I ordered it in February

DON'T EVER BUY BATTERIES FROM FASTECH. Valuable lesson early in my vaping history. Even Fastech will tell you that they take FOREVER to get here. Customs and the airlines hate them!

I wouldn't order anything from FT if the order wasn't at least $15. Doesn't make sense. On the other hand, I've ordered tons of stuff from them and (until my wife finds out) will continue to do so.

Orders in the $5 range using their standard shipping ARE sent by sea-turtle. You need to take into account how difficult that is, though.

Every morning, thousands of small wicker boats are dispatched into the pacific, piloted by enterprising fishermen looking to feed their families through the burgeoning live-sea-turtle trade. It's a perilous lifestyle. These brave men, women and children brave harsh conditions to make sure that only mature and hardy sea-turtles are incorporated into the shipping channels.

After the open-bidding market, the selected sea turtles have the packages "installed". (Can't really go into the details on this family-friendly forum)

From there, they are shipped to Fukishima and released into the water. Their natural sensitivity to high levels of radiation causes them to depart post-haste in the general direction of the western coast of the US.

These brave turtles suffer many hardships on their journeys. Many get trapped forever in the "whirlpool of trash" that lurks in the mid-pacific. Others run afoul of vicious Korean sea-pirates, looking to steal their precious cargo and copy the logos from them. These logos are then re-sold to Chinese factories.

Once these heroic creatures reach the shores of the US, their job is far from finished. They must sneak past Border Patrol and Environmentalists (both of whom attempt to send them back from whence they came) and make their way to the nearest asylum operated by the USPS. Once they arrive, they can breathe a sigh of relief and rejoice that their mission has been accomplished.

For an extra buck or two they just throw it on a plane.....

Laughing so hard it hurts.

Then don't. I've gotten a lot of juice from FastTech that I like. They do mostly simple flavors, but I've found them true to the flavors they represent.
Chocolates and vanillas, maybe not so much. But I could say the same of a lot of US vendors. Their fruits can be awesome.

I had one (and exactly one) order that got lost. The way I responded to it was by filing a ticket. They let me know that it would be a while, as they tried to track the package. I got my refund after 4 months.

3 months after that I got an e-mail from the USPS asking me if I got the package. I told them I hadn't. So I bet FT is still chasing after their money, even though they gave it back to me (and I immediately spent it all on more stuff from FT, partially a re-order, and partially stuff I wanted more than what I originally ordered).

Ive ordered and it came in 10 days...if you dont upgrade the shipping which costs a dollar or less it comes very slow

Oh, I have opened a ticket. That's why I realize it takes months....I was more upset by the down talking of the person who posted then my stupid $15 batteries.

And yes, I realize that is what half my problem is.....purchasing batteries...

I just don't get how a ego with batteries installed gets through but a plain ol' battery does not...oh well....wait for refund and move on....

I agree with this whole heartedly. They put lead in the toys they send over here for our kids so there is no telling what is in the e juice. Not worth the risk in my humble opinion.

For the record, I've had the upgrade to epacket/china post cost $1 to $2, I've had it cost less than a dollar, and I've had it be a free upgrade. Even if you're really pinching pennies it doesn't hurt to check, it could be super cheap, or totally free.
