Just in case everybody is still confused about whats going on at fasttech, I send them a message and this is what they replied to me:
Hi,
Sorry about the wait.It is stuck in HongKong custom.We will reship your order quickly when the package is returned to us.
To safeguard aviation security, Hongkong Post does not accept the sending of air mail items (including Speedpost) that contain dangerous articles such as perfumery products, lighters and lithium batteries.
Hence, all mail items entering the Air Mail Center are subject to x-ray screening.
Recently, there is an increasing number of air mail items detected to contain suspected dangerous articles,
in particular, lithium batteries, which lengthens the screening process.
In this connection, air mail registration service, iMail service and Bulk Air Mail service may be subject to delay.
Any inconvenience caused is much regretted.

The postal union has launched a wave of scrutiny on 9/10 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.
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.
We apologize for this and thank you for your understanding.
