I've done 4 orders in last month a a half. The 1st took over 2 weeks (some stuff out of stock) but the other orders had everything in stock, waited about 8-10 days per delivery, not bad at all from china. I used china post epacket all of the times as my shipping option.

China Post is a new one from my last order. I just went with whatever the default they picked for me was. With old HKP (before the battery issue) my timing was the same as yours.

I thought they had problems with PayPal that was requiring something from people in the US. Guess they must've worked it out because I didn't have to do anything new.

And once again, southpaws get left in the dust...:glare::nah:
...unless the control module side can rotate for lefties. Then :thumbs:

As a life long lefty I noticed that right away. My box mods have the button on the other side which always seemed bass ackwards to me so I thought it was a good thing.

Going to give the Russian a try. I've been practicing my cotton ball wick and wire skills, such as they are, on a squid rba . Let's see if it can replace my beloved carto tanks. Ordered April 19:

$21.86 Russian 91% Styled Rebuildable Atomizer (4.5mL) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

$5.19 Kayfun Nano Body Kit at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
 
Do I have a case if FT sends my order to the wrong address and my items gets lost or confiscated by customs? FT haven't replied my questions for 3 days already, I have already opened a case on Paypal against them.

Enjoy your long wait your ft dispute is no longer valid PayPal trumps theirs and they can do more just dealing with them opening on through PayPal now you have a 3rd party involved so it may now take much longer.

A couple of questions: which of the situations in fact happened to you? Wrong address, lost items or confiscated items? Those are three totally different scenarios.

When you asked a question, did you note the time FT said it would take for them to answer your query? I hope you didn't add more questions to your original one later on, because then you go right back to the end of the waiting line for customer support. It's always better to ask your question, take note of the number of business hours needed for a reply and only add information when they reply to you.

Important to add: it's already a long holiday weekend in China, so don't expect a Customer Service response until Monday.

Ordered the Origin for my Aqua. A lil nervous, hope they match up well. Looks like the same maker, so I went ahead and ordered, but ya never know with China. Also got a ceramic drip tip w/insulator. Anybody have a ceramic DT? Do they really help with temp? My DTs get hot sometimes when I'm dripping, hoping this DT helps with that. And allegedly the insulator comes off and I can use it on other DTs. For a dollar and some change, got nothin to lose lol.

My order from FT sent by DHL to my Thai address on the first time did not clear custom clearance.

Made payment of 72USD for return shipment to FT and told them to send it back to my Thai address using normal registered mail.

2 days later, they sent me a notice and shipped my items out but to my Singapore address. It was their fault sending it to the wrong address, what if the items are confiscated at Singapore customs? Who shall bear responsibility in this case?

Oh, and does anybody know where to get kayfun screw kits? Down to my last fill hole screw, they last about a month, even being extremely careful and gentle, they wear out and get stripped. Id like to get a bunch so I dont have to worry about a tiny screw bein the downfall of my favorite tank. Fast-tech is always out of stock, but somebodies gotta have em. I havent seen them anywhere else except FT.

Every time I have an actual question about Fast-tech, I look here. But it seems that this thread is mainly people telling how long their order took to ship. How does that help? Pages and pages of people bragging about fast shipping, or complaining about long shipping times. I think there should be a thread on Fasttechs products, their quality or lack there of, their performance, how they compare to other products, if they're compatible with each other(example-origin&aqua hybrid),where to get items that are out of stock, which one of different makers is the best(example- 3or4 different models of same item),you know, HELPFUL information! I've been both happy and frustrated about shipping times. I get it, I totally do. But cmon people, we all know that Fasttech is a crapshoot on shipping. It may be 7 days, it may be 70, and from what i can see, it doesn't matter what shipping option you choose, again, crapshoot. I dont think thats gonna change. Maybe theres another thread on actual products? If so, somebody tell me where it is. I would really like to be able to ask people that have these products real, helpful questions, or maybe I have something that I can help someone else with, but I'm sure many people gave up, like I have done so many times, because of having to go through page after page of discussions about when Billy, Bob, Joe, Harry, etc ordered, then recieved their stuff. Apologies if im coming off as rude, not trying to be. Would just like to be able to get helpful info without having to see how long Joe the plumber waited for his protank clone.

This thread was meant to be a discussion of FT gear but became a shipping thread during the postage apocalypse of late 2013 and it's never really recovered.

Feel free to ask equipment questions.I just skim over any post with a date or the word "days".

    This has been discussed many times in this thread, would it be nice to have one thread to talk about just the products and another about shipping, it sure would be, but it just isn't going to happen, another member did try and make another thread just to talk about shipping, but people see this one and just use this one, you just learn to skim over the postage posts.

    and another about shipping, it sure would be,

    I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I've never understood the need to discuss shipping at all. You order, and eventually it arrives. I don't see the big deal. I've had 6 orders from FT and have never even tracked them. They just eventually show up.
