10 days for me. I don't know how the postal dept. is where you live, but the ones in Ga. are fairly good. It seems the biggest "lag time" is when it's waiting in customs.

Hi guys, I am searching for a kayfun/Russian style atty that has an adjustable 510 connection, for single coil use. Preferably one that I can buy the top fed cap. Any recommendation?

 

[cindycated]

When something says "ships in 5 days" and your scheduled ship date passes and changes to "restocking," does that add another cycle of 5 days? If so, does it usually get restocked and shipped within that one additional cycle?

It's just the red coil jig this time, but curious for future reference...

I think restocking means they don't have an eta and "ships in n days" means the manufacturer has given them an eta.

They're probably only relaying what the manufacturer has told them and accuracy depends on the manufacturer meeting their own eta.

That can be the indication. You need to give it 24hrs to see if it flipped to a new cycle or if your unit made the cut.
Restocking is Displayed once an order of pieces is received. The process is to restock the warehouse, pull product to the pick location, pick the items per order and ship available items.

I work in a Large corporate warehouse.
Just spent 2 days doing Inventory 200 people working 12hr shifts chasing pennies..

I always HATED Inventory when I worked in supply (building material & auto parts).

My last order - I switched it to HKP USPS first class
Shipped 10-15-14
Arrived 10-23-14
8 Days is excellent

Next shipment - I left is as USPS First Class - turns out it is China Post.
I will be lucky to get 1 update before it finally arrives.

I have an item that I ordered 18 days ago that mostly said restocking during that period. Other items were split from the order and shipped after 5 or so days. It just today changed to ships in 2 days.

How can they be restocking items for that long while other items ship in 24-48 hours? I don't think FT uses the word "restocking" the same way you do.

Well my fogger v4 that had a scheduled ship date of the 29th shipped today, both the erl and the fogger shipped well ahead of the posted time, not complaining as getting it sooner, but shows you can't go by the ship dates

Ordered the 1:1 Paragon Clone on 10/12. It arrived today. Tracking was good the entire journey. Love the mod. Well worth $22.11.

Hmm... so after ages of trying to get my 4nine to work and being frustrated by the sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't switch (i'm going to see if they will send me a new magnet), I ordered the brass paps. OMG. That switch.
It's smooth. I barely have to press it. And it works every. single. time. i don't have to worry about what angle i press it at, i don't have to spin it, i don't have to press hard or far. I know I'm late to the game on this mod, but everyone was right to rave about this button. Just a featherlight press and presto. Best bit of vaping gear I've ever used.

I don't use tanks, but surely someone here would know if such an atty exists, consider this a bump

Splitting the order may have effected Status updating on your order or you may have been viewing a Cashed page until it actually updated.. I have seen many items go to Restocking and generally change status within hours. I do order many things that are Days out.

Oh, and 2 Days - Nothing showing on China Post................Typical
From now on any orders placed will be forced to HKP if possible.

Is China finally running low on brass? Just noticed that the two "brass" mods in New Arrivals are both plated steel. I keep hoping they'd do this with atties, but mods?

Isn't that the one you tried to cancel? I told you that you would like it. I don't know why Perseus is so uptight about the clones, as they have probably sent more business to VapourArt (and Domo Vapor) than word of mouth advertising through original owners.

Ships in n days dissapeared again this morning and it's back to restocking. That's 20 days since I bought it. Glad I'm in no rush for this item.

Most people reading this thread will know this but for those that don't, this is surface mail from Hong Kong. It might be 2 weeks before it even sets sail. Expect slow shipping.

I saw that Sony said that they did not make a VTC5 yet, that those marketed as such are not real, just FYI; I say batteries are not something we want to flip a coin with.

Isn't that the truth, ordered two different packages 2 weeks ago, one just now says it's being sorted, the other just received, hasn't even left China yet.... geez.
