thanks. i had gone ahead and ordered the ijoy genie :( it has 2 batteries with it and is $12 cheaper than in the state. got that one from 3fvape... i'm not seeing a option to cancel :(

I usually guess about a month for my fast tech orders, 6 weeks seems like such a dang long time.. 4 weeks seems forever as it is.

i did find a way to put in a request to cancel. no real big deal if it doesn't cancel.

Expect 3 to 6 weeks if it has batteries (minimum). :( I NEVER order ANYTHING with batteries from China anymore because of the slow shipping. JMHO

My orders from Health Cabin (2) and Heaven Gifts (2)...that have all included mods with internal batteries, got here by HK DHL Express within 6-10 days of my order date. I've been very impressed by the speedy delivery so far from both. Haven't ordered anything with batteries from FT, 3Fvape, GearBest, etc. though.

thanks for giving me hope.. so
they shipped supposedly my package an hour after i sent in a request to cancel the order... dem sneaky devils.

Crossing my fingers on this one. My dual battery mod that i have now is not reliable. I'm 31 days smoke free and scared of being without my vape.

That was a fast one that gearbest did to me a couple years back with subtank mini bellcaps. Placed the order with "instock" in the listing, paid for my order then the bellcaps went out of stock in the email confirmation. I let it ride for a week then emailed a complaint to whats going on with the bellcaps, my order then magically was shipped...well I thought. They had created a shipping label so I couldn't get a refund anymore....3 months later after me emailing in CAPS a few times my disapproval of their shady practice the bellcaps showed up. I was given 10% off the next order I never made.

what really upset me was I had ordered $72 worth of stuff. that's a pretty penny for me. I'm glad i paypal was on point!

Don't do it. I had a bad experience with my first order (which yes, was partially my fault) but the other two companies I had the same issue with... Let's just say they were vastly different and more flexible and understanding. It was in their TOS so I didn't dispute it, but I will likely never order from them again mainly due to MY occasional issues that arise...

It's a shame as pricing can be good but to me, customer service matters a LOT, and I don't care where you are shipping from, be it the US or China. Plenty of MUCH better companies IMO, including Fasttech and 3FVape if I want something inexpensively or clonesque if I am willing to wait....

That's good to hear. I think with some of those companies, one may run into an issue or two that sort of turns a person off for good. Honestly, I do think Gearbest has good prices and some great options, their TOS are not super forgiving of the kinds of mistakes I will occasionally make with my own address but I'm a bit dyslexic. Number-lexic, whatever it's called. Even though I *know* they got their product back (I hadn't changed my Paypal address as I rarely used it, but I actually went to collect my packages from the new homeowners who I know fairly well and who said they sent them back and the two other companies did in fact receive their product back, and were happy to reship, some without even a penalty...)

IDK if Gearbest is so high volume or can't keep track of that stuff, but I do believe they did get it back and I offered to repay shipping and handling AND return, but it's in their TOS that they won't.

Since *I* am occasionally totally air-headed about these issues I decided to stick with companies that were more willing to work with me on it. I mention this long story because honestly, I don't think Gearebest is a *bad* company, just not something I am willing to risk doing twice. I mean, I probably wouldn't, but you know how it is.... :)

I mean, it was totally MY fault, and I am always happy to admit that.... :)

That is the 1 complaint i have about 3F is them doing stuff like that.They got me the same way a few months ago.I had a pre order that drug on for months,i contacted them and said i wanted to know when it would be in,and they said it was still going to be another 3 weeks,so i told them to cancel it.They said they would refund to my paypal account,but the next morning i got the shipping notice,luckily they did ship it when they said they did,but at that point i didn't want it anymore as i had found it here in the states for the same price.

    I just had 1 order just ship and made 3 more orders just now, wanted to get them in while was a coupon code still active, also had 3 gift certificates to use up.

    Got a steal on the sbody vapedroid with DNA250 chip, with coupon brought it down to $50, and then had $12 in rebate points, so only cost me $38 out of pocket :)

    Now the long wait starts :blink:

    Out of all 3 orders last night, the droid is the one I am most looking forward too, and already got a shipped email for it this morning :banana:

    May the shipping gods be with me and I see it before easter :lol:

    I jinxed myself, out of my 4 orders, 1 has been delivered, 2 are being delivered tomorrow, but not the droid that actually shipped 1st, that has been sitting for 2 weeks with 'preparing for shipment', just shows what pot luck it is with China shipping.
