According to what I have read, somewhere on the board, it is not FT that pays the mailing cost. The Chinese gov subsidizes it in order to stimulate private business.
Well - whoever - it's all Chinese to me.

I think there's a trade deal that gives them $3 epacket shipping that would cost us $30. I discovered that attempting to return an item. They paid $3 and I would need to pay $30 for the return. When I looked up epacket, I was referred to some trade agreement.
Did something change? All the returns I've ever done went to Florida.
fasttech has some killer drip tips. I have a cart in progress. I'll probably have about 20 items when it's all done. Hope it arrives in 2015.
That's for FT. Other sites need a return to China. Sorta a "non-return" return policy.
Well then, as long as everything is in stock, you'll be pleasently surprised when it arrives in about 10 days.
The biggest problem I have is finding $20 worth in stock at the same time.
Through experience I've learned to group the items that "ship in 5 or 7 days" or whatever in separate orders from the ones that "ship the next day" or are "in stock". Even then when I see a reasonable order is "ready to ship" except for one item I tend to cancel that item and place it in my next order. Sometimes FT do that themselves. IN the past three months at least on two occasions they have shipped parts of orders on different days so as not to keep me "waiting too long". Overall I have to admit the service is good and well worth it.
I've wondered about that. So many things are "shipping in 7 days" yet I find out that some have recieved them and I never saw when they were in stock. They never seem to get other items at all. The white Subox seems to be in the later category. However it does sound like they are conducting "pre-sales" essentially on everything anymore.
That seems to be the business trend the world over it seems even from B&Ms in just about everything. Over here unless it's clothes or very small appliances you pretty much have to order and wait for several weeks for the goods to arrive here - from cars to bathroom tiles or whatever. It could be lack (or cost) of warehouse space or it could be not wanting to risk money on something that doesn't sell or actually having money lying "dormant" in the form of stock but that is how businesses seem to be working these days.
Agreed. I don't think the "Don't buy unless it says 'ships in one day'" policy gets you your items quicker.
What I've seen with the big box stores is that most of the items are online with free shipping to the store you want to pick up at, usually in 2 to 4 days. It makes it useless to go and check it out in person anymore because it's not sold in stores. People that don't have internet (30%) are really screwed.
I've been known to pay the extra shipping.
It's not bad though. $2 for anything under $5, then it decreases exponentially to zero between $5 and $20 (so around a buck for say $13).
I've had stuff that says "ship in 7 days" go out a day or two later, so yeah, I don't really pay that much attention to those anymore. OTOH, I've also had stuff that said "ships in 5 days" go through a couple of cycles of those 5 days, so...
Been there done that several times over haha.Like you,i have had several that said ships in 5 or 7 days that shipped within a day or two,but my last order,they split it up for me and sent out all the in stock stuff,then sent an email saying they would ship the rest when it came in.There were 3 items that all said 7 days,2 of them they had in 3 days,the other,1 little drip tip,went on for 21 days,resetting a new date every 7 days haha.I finally emailed them and told them to cancel that one drip tip,and gave the sku of one that was in stock,and it all shipped that same day then.I've had stuff that says "ship in 7 days" go out a day or two later, so yeah, I don't really pay that much attention to those anymore.

I have an order on the way right now. It processed through Chicago, about 40 miles from me, but now it's in Kansas City lol. Is this normal? It's only like 9 days since ordered, wondering why it went 4 hours the wrong way.
I shall be travelling soon. Will this fit the bill? $9.24 Zipper Style Carrying Case for E-Cigarettes - 228*170*60mm / black at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
I know this isn't from fasttech, but I really love my case. Compact, but big enough to fit like 6 30ml juices, couple small mods, 5 subtanks, some cotton, coils, drip tips. It's perfect.

Oh I gotcha. I'm going to place a big order tonight. They have subtank clones, I wish someone here could give some insight, but a couple for $25 is worth the gamble. Bunch of drip tips, coils, replacement glass. They really have an amazing amount of accessories you can't find anywhere else, especially for the price. I'm going to have 8 drip tips for the price of 2. Authentic occs half price.
