I've had the same route on my orders when they ship, every single order I've received from FT... I'm in KY

Go CATS!! What part??

 

[CommaHolly]

That worked for me. I quit my job and was worried because my dekang order wasn't moving. Ordered some vanilla tobacco from MBV on Friday. I got a tracking number from them that afternoon, and of course later that night I checked my ft order and it jumped to departed san fran. Have just a little more patience...

you know what,,,,I should have thought about that days ago,,,,,,buy what I need local, and it will show up in my mailbox magically the next day LOL

 

[Scope666]

same issue here,,,,,,,I was hearing amazing reports of 8 days and 11 days total from order to delivery so I ordered LOL,,,,,,mine has been sitting in HK for 11 days,,,,,,and that's after taking 9 days to restock and ship it to HK,,,,,,,so it's been 20 days since I ordered, and it's STILL in HK.

whatcha gonna do??

wait patiently, I guess,,,,,,it will get here eventually,,,,,although I really wish I knew for a fact it would ship out soon or not,,,,,,,I might get something local to tide me over if I knew,,,,,,

I still have one order that's still stuck in HK, no movement at all. The other two got out fairly easy. The one that's stuck has a single Ego battery in it, that I'm planning on using to destroy the Earth. ;-)

Just trying to justify the threat that is the Ego that's holding up all of our stuff for almost a month. You would think it had a solid Plutonium core...

Went ahead and fulfilled my wish list today in spite of all the warnings everyone is posting here (including all the FT warnings).

Crazy or stupid to try this at a time like this? YES ha

Hey at least at this rate I'll have a merry Christmas :...:

The only thing that sux is that the ego kit and juice is a gift for a great friend that needs to quit the stinkies.

 

[levisdaddy]

I also worry that my order, which is for other people will take too long to arrive.
fingers crossed.

does it help that is says it was shipped china air? (or whatever)

 

[Ref Minor]

BTW: if anybody is looking to place a big order from Fasttech for their first time, or just purchase multiple items.. I suggest Breaking up the order in a few separate shipments, because in my experience, I've had a single drip tip hold up 15 items for a week because it wasn't in stock. It's still free shipping so its not like you'll be paying for shipping for every separate item...

Aim to hit above $15 an order so you get the automatic upgrade to tracked 14 day shipping (not including HK X-ray room pile time)

Let us know, you will be one of the first China Air folks here.

As long as you didn't order any Lithium Ion batteries (not including ego's) your fine, you'll have them soon

That's completely reassuring.

He doesn't have a lot of money. He was trying to quit and got taken by the lovely Blu folks... To him, he got what he could with the little money he had left. Then it got held up in this nonsense with customs. Now does he spend what he has on smokes to get him by until it arrives, or go spend 5X as much at a US vendor with money he doesn't have?
Some folks live paycheck to paycheck. I remember days long ago when I had 2-3 bucks left in my checking account on payday. 25 bucks is a serious expenditure for someone in that position, let alone 50 bucks to overpay for a stinking EVOD kit or something.
I'd rather show a little understanding and offer to help out than run him off with a bad taste for ECF, and vaping in general.
Soon as he figures out he has a PM, I've offered to send him a free kit with juice to get him by. What will anyone else offer to actually help him out instead trying to make him feel unwelcome?

I'd love to help, but I'm in the same situation. After a very bad streak the only thing that works is my eVic. My 100 dollar budget has shrunk to 77 thanks to inflation and the rising dollar. And all I get is "get a Provari" and people that OFFER one for free but when PMed want to sell it... Guys, not everyone can keep up!

 

[RedhatPat]

I'm going to have to agree with Susaz on this one.

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.

Source: Hongkong Post - Notices - Delay In Outbound Air Mail Services

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.

Blah blah blah. Careless chatter.
I made three packages, 2 50 something dollars, and 1 just 5 bucks. The first contained 130 ml of juice. Order placed August 28th, shipped Sept 6. The other two, one contained a Vamo/Intellicharge2/batts combo and the third one, an eGo XL case, have been sitting in HK since the 29th of August. No sign of getting shipped. The case at least should have been shipped, but it hasn't.
Same with the SVD. It's still under warranty, but sending it back costs 60 bucks, so it's better I throw it away. I'm just waiting to see if they refund or offer some kind of tradeoff. But these are my last buys from FT. Since the only good deal seems batteries or juice, I'd better buy somewhere else. I think my Vamo is lost.

 

[zazz]

first time order, an evod, protank 2 (clone, looks like a duritank clone really), trident clone, a couple hangsen juices.

waiting on the trident to restock. wish i had thrown in a few more evods and a mech mod though.

Threw one in the mix cuz I like living on the edge lol

I could always just ask the staff to take it off the list I suppose, it'll probably take some time to process anyway.

 

[Scope666]

Ordered this today. Notice the flawed logic on ships in X days and ETA date
