Tell us about the DominusFecit.
It's been on my wish list for too long.

Will do once I get it and have a chance to use it. Just hit San Francisco today.

@PLANofMAN had a lot of really nice things to say about that one:

You should get it while you can, even if you're just remotely interested - I've been seeing mechs go and not come back. I've lost out on a couple already, due to lack of funds. :oops:

Yep, that's exactly what I did, bought up what I was remotely interested in knowing they probably won't be around forever. I got the JM22 and Launcher V2 clones at the exact right time. Now those are gone. GP Paps is endangered as the 18500 is the only one left.

Was thinking about buying myself a high wattage reg box back in March for myself for my bday, decided on a whole bunch of FT mechs instead. Glad I did.

Just placed my first FT order. Their prices are so good and with free shipping, I couldn't help myself. I usually don't order from China because of the long shipping time, but I only ordered things I can be patient about getting. (Although it's difficult anyway). I didn't order any batteries. I placed my order on 7/5 and as of today, 7/8 it shows that Shipment #1 (one item isn't scheduled to ship until 7/9) still doesn't even have a tracking number yet. I will update when I receive my order for comparisons. :)

They don't usually ship until all items are ready to go, unless your order gets split (the in-stock items get shipped now, the items waiting get shipped when available). They've always done the splitting for me (they ask, I say OK), but I think you can open a ticket requesting it. But seeing as the out-of-stock item will be available tomorrow, maybe just see how it goes tomorrow.

A good tip when dealing with fasttech,get the upgraded shipping,it's usually only around $1 or so,you get the stuff alot faster when it ships.I used the free shipping once and it took about a month to get,now i always get the upgrade and usually have my stuff 5-6 days after it ships.

F'it; it's just money.
I've got a tracking number, but the DominusFecit clone is still in China, & I'm already anxious.

I got my son a gift certificate for his birthday. It was with a stateside vendor. Knowing that he is a very impatient person, I wouldn't subject him to the frustration of dealing with FT.

I ordered a birthday present for him last year, and it took four months for the item to get to him.

Thanks for that info. I assumed they would naturally split the order. Good to know for future and since it's free shipping, I might just place separate orders depending on availability of each item.

Thanks for that tip! I should've read this thread BEFORE I ordered! But at least I know for next time. (And I already have another cart full) it's such a fun place to shop!

Upgraded shipping is free for orders over $20. Under $20, there's a small fee. $2 for orders under $5, then a proportion of $2 between $5 and $19.99. So like a buck for a $12 order - like b.m. said, well worth it. Hard to control shinyitis at FT, so welcome to the rabbit hole! :laugh:

You will not have a tracking number unless your order exceeds $20 or you pay that little bit extra for the expedited shipping. I always make sure I get a tracking number since it's a kind of insurance. You still get a tracking number if they themselves choose to split your order because some items are going to take a bit longer to ship than the rest. They've done that with me on several occasions.

I know the feeling,i never have an empty cart at Fasttech haha.As soon as i complete 1 order,i start adding stuff for the next order.

It is definitely addictive and I really have had to exercise a lot of self control to try to break the cycle that was becoming almost pathological. :D But man, the copper Akuma clone I got the other day is just so pretty and hits like a steam train - my best mod ever. I got it for $20 when this is the price of the original: Red Copper Akuma Mod

If you haven't noticed, FT also has a nice selection of outdoors and camping tools ;)
No need to be a low-tech hobo.
