I'm assuming most of you have seen this post from Geek over at FT, but just to make sure, here it is:
"The postal union has launched a wave of scrutiny yesterday which covers all major postal airmail shippers in Asia.
fasttech confirms that all battery/e-liquid airmail packages are being affected at this time. This includes HKP/USPS, and Singapore Post.
Here is what's happening:
1. Packages with primarily e-liquid and/or batteries in them are now more likely to get caught and get returned to us. We'll refund in those cases.
2. Packages *not* containing e-liquids/batteries will ship normally via SG post at regular speed. However those shipped via HK post will get delayed by 5 to 7 days (as we're told) as they queue up for the new mandatory x-ray scans.
If you have previously requested us to put you on Hong Kong Post only list, you may want to consider getting off that list to avoid the added wait time at Hong Kong Post.
Again, until this loosens, there is a higher chance for packages consisting of only e-liquid and/or batteries to be returned to us by shipping carriers. When they are returned, we will fully refund customers and cancel their affected orders.
We'll monitor and update as this situation develops.
We apologize for this and thank you for your understanding."

and this:
"askesis1983 is right Hong Kong Post is 100% government owned and their mission is to provide service and not generate any profits. In fact, they've been posting losses almost every year for the past 10 years.
If we have to go DHL, prices will no longer justify for most customers around the world."

Dang.. was hoping to get some here soon when my stock dwindled at home. If they are garbage, then nada for me.
I wouldn't say garbage as they are probably as good as other cheap blades. I have really coarse facial hair, so your mileage may vary. They tugged at my hair as they're not as sharp as the originals. I also noticed that some cartridges from my 8-pack were sharper than others. Hopefully others will have better luck with them than I did.
I can say one thing for sure. They are not the same as the ones on retail shelves.
*****My Chi You, juices, a knife, and a couple other little things left SF yesterday, AND my Ithaka fINALLY shipped today! I was beginning to wonder.....
Anyone know if these are transparent or opaque??

They look to be semi-transparent (frosted) ... I can make out the center tubes in the pics.
I wouldn't be all doom's day. I'm sure you will get it. I believe (and I say believe) that a MVP is a device and not a "battery". Hang in there, it should come even if with delay.
But, if you do need to go elsewhere, well, Mt. Baker.
Well. That was fun while it lasted. Reckon I'll be a total MBV girl until HKPost gets the stick out of their ..... Good thing they're fast and easy on the pocket, eh?
Now I'm just worried about how this big mail kerfluffle is going to impact the B&Ms...

Have to agree ... two recent orders with MBV, they ship FAST!

Hope you're right. I just assumed with that bigass 2600mAh that it would never get through.

stuck ... meanwhile the one with 4 30ML bottles of juice only flew right on through to SF
I got paid yesterday, and I'm agonizing over what to get at FT. I can't decide between the Nemesis clone and the Bagua clone.
Does anyone know about the quality of these two? I've seen some reference to them on the thread. But, all I remember is people saying that they want them or are ordering them. I don't remember seeing any reviews.
I want them both so bad!!!
I just have to order tonight. Why? I just gotta! I want!
Any suggestions? Before I click Submit on something I might be sorry about.

I can just imagine the mountain of packages backing up and those poor guys having to xray and inspect each and every one.
