Woo hoof 10days and its on American soil! Way better than the 25 day wait with my last China order(not FT)
Code:
 Arrived USPS Facility 08/05/2014 1:01am JAMAICA NY 11430 Reply HELP 4 help-STOP to cancel 

 Processed thru Facility 08/04/2014 9:56pm ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS) Reply HELP 4 help-STOP to cancel
....
This is my very first time ordering from FT, and I have to say, I think that picture they post of the package is a really fun element. It doesn't really mean anything particularly, but it does kind of send a little thrill through me seeing it. LOL

OHh MmY GURD¡!¡! Its torture see my package and not being able to open it!

re: $9.51 Dominator Style Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - stainless steel / brass plated at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Yea, it's supposed to be tool free, push down but this particular clone was made incorrectly. I put in a ticket, so hopefully they'll make it right on Monday. If I can just send it to Florida for a refund gift certificate and get reimbursed for the shipping, I'll be a happy camper. This was a want, not a need, so it's frustrating but no biggie.

Well, I'm happy. They offered me a 40% refund, which I think is fair. It *is* usable. Even though it's a pain in the ... to build, once that's done, it's a pretty nice little dripper. It's cheaper for them to give me $4 back than to pay for return shipping. I still wish the top cap was more snug. I wonder if I could replace the o-ring and what size that would be.

On another note, I got in a new a6 rda. For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to drill out the hole on my old one, but that was a bad idea. The draw got way too airy, and it just didn't pack the same concentrated punch as it did out of the box. Since it's been my absolute favorite dripper for about 6 months, I needed a new one.
$5.76 A6 Mini Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
I didn't receive the same one as advertised - the one I got is dual coil and a few mm shorter, if you can believe it. I'm not complaining. It's even better than my old one. Everything about it is great. The flavor is almost overwhelming... the same batch of liquid I mixed in this vs any of my other drippers is night and day. I'm happy.

Now I just wait for the Kato Square...

Mine are taking about a week on average, and they have to go from China through CA, to Oahu, then onto another plane to Maui. :p

WOW, a week. Are you just kidding, or is that for real? That sounds amazing compared to the 2 to 3 weeks I've read on here.

Make sure the item is in stock or ships next day, don't order batteries, knives, or liquid (put that in a separate order because it'll have to go by a slower shipping method) and choose e-packet. Seriously, 7-10 days including weekends.

WOW, I am excited! I only have a mod and drip tip coming... no batteries, no liquid or knives or anything, it was "ship next day" and it did, and it is in an e-packet. Now, question. Ths was my first order so I was a little confused) there seemed to be two types of epacket. Mine was an e-packet via china post, however I got a usps confirmation number. Is that the same as the other one, both were free.

My fasttech order page says:
Shipment 1:
Ship via
USPS Express ePacket via China Post

The usps link still says not found on it.

Right now we are in the Slow Season for China. Also Chinese Customs has stepped their game back up and are getting things done in a timely manor.
Yes, SHIPPING is averaging 10 Days, 8-14 Area Dependent - as Well as USPS effectiveness(hit/miss)
THAT IS SHIPPING TIME - NOT ORDER TO RECEIPT
Ordering, Processing, Packaging are all dependent on Actual STOCK STATUS and additional to the time total.

People really need to learn what it is and how it works.

Now, for the Bad News - only a Month or so left and China will be going FULL SWING into CHRISTMAS/Holidays Production/Shipping
Everything will slow considerably.

You chose wisely. :)
The order usually won't show up on the USPS until China puts it on a plane headed for the US. First it needs to exchange hands a few times and sit in customs, but as crxess said, China's been fast lately. Once it gets to US, it'll sit in customs again. This is where the order might get held up because USPS is riding the short bus lately.
Anyway, yea... you'll get it when you get it, but it shouldn't be a super long wait. :thumbs:

YAY... and I've noticed that too lately. The last order I got was making me so mad because it was still showing in its original state on the day it should have arrived. It came when it was supposed to, and still to this day shows it being in the origin state on the tracking system. LOL
