I have wanted to order from them but hear sometimes it is a pain in the ..... I heard it usally takes a month or longer to recieve order? Is that true?
Yes, it will take a while since the istick has a built in battery. There has been concerns with batteries venting, and many of the carriers refuse to carry them via air mail. Their reasoning, is if a battery vented, it might catch fire while in flight over the ocean... with no place to land. So, they just stopped carrying them and decided to ship them... (the saying slow boat from China comes to play). Put it this way, I decided to place an order for batteries, since I don't mind waiting, I decided to use their normal shipping option. It was ordered on Feb 6th... it shipped from Fasttech Feb 9th...It still hasn't arrived in the US.
However, I did order some other stuff later, and has since then recieved it. I ordered it march 6th, and it shipped march 11'th... I recieved it on march 27th..
Recently, there is a new option called USPS battery handling.. I haven't tried them yet, so I don't know what the shipping times are like. If I were you though, I wouldn't take the gamble.
I would order somewhere in the US. One place most people overlook, is Mt. Baker Vapor. They are selling the
istick 20 for 29.99, but you'll have to pay for shipping if the order is under $50. You could add some juice to that order to make it over $50, and end up with a better deal overall.
Just my
