Amazon prime is wonderful. But in a way you do pay for it. Just an annual fee which gives other perks as well.

BTW it doesn't show and Prime eligible to me. Yes I have a prime account.


I LOVE Prime ... most of the time stuff comes a day earlier than they promise!

If you can't cope with delays, buy local.

I'm coping just fine. Look what just arrived at my doorstep:

Can I join the fasttech Cheerleading Squad?

ria____X: You are correct-it will hold the order until last pkg is ready to ship. But I have often had the status change to Ready to Ship before the date they posted.

Anyone have any opinions on the EVOD batteries compared to the egos? I am looking for best durability.

Also-any opinions on FT Eco-C Twists?

I've had some bad experiences, too. I think Amazon has spoiled me. I just ordered a $3.75 graduated cylinder from Amazon.

Bel-Art Scienceware 284520000 Polypropylene Single Scale Graduated Cylinder, 0.5" ID x 0.6" OD x 5.7" Height, 10mL Capacity, 0.1mL Graduation Interval: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

It's Prime eligible, so I get free shipping. Amazon promised I'll get it Tuesday. I bet it arrives Monday.

I know, I know .... it's not fair to compare China suppliers to American suppliers. It's OK for China suppliers to promise things and not deliver. I'm learning the rules.

I can't stand Amazon's business model of "Free shipping" but we're not going to ship it for 3-5 days unless you pay us extra.
I try to avoid them so it wouldn't pay for me to use Prime.


hey i just wanted to know, on the tracking bit, most of my items say ready to ship but two of them have diff dates.. does that mean they wont ship my order until the other two are ready to ship?

Generally yes. The latest date in your order is what dictates the order.

Although I've had some that were "in stock" which means 2-3 days I think that were picked early and the package went out next day.

Depends. Sometimes they will knock the dates back. If they see one or two items holding up a shipment for an extended period they may ship what is there and then put the remaining in another shipment.

What I have done is click on the items holding it back and get an immediate in store credit. The package shipped the next day and i did another order with that item in it and some other things and took my credit.

Yes, they'll hold till the other items are ready. I've had stuff go out of stock and they shipped a partial order but they'll notify you if that happens.

I will never use an EVOD battery no matter who manufactures it.

Best as I can tell the difference between an evod battery and everything else is where the switch is located. With the switch on the side like that its a cleaner look with an evod clearo. Seems to me that it would make for a longer setup too as the switch is located inside the battery compartment instead of in the head piece.

Hon, if your worried about the ship date, you are going to go bonkers when it hits HK Post :p

Usually, they won't ship until all items are in but if it is going to be to long they will sometimes split orders. Usually they get it back in stock quicker then the ship date they give you. .........Usually.

$79 per year after a free 30 day trial. I own a Roku device. We watch free instant videos all the time on the TV.

Well worth it for me.

Yup have Roku from them and picked up a sony google box for my bedroom (has some benefit in searching for shows)( Directtv TVs app now is much better so feel like I wasted 150 bucks and shoulda got another Roku) The google TV apps are junk. My kids love their prime selection of kids shows. I was home with my youngest yesterday. While she was asleep I watched Dredd on Amazon prime.

Amazon also doesn't knock back their dl speeds like netflix does. I am ready to cancel them again.

I got prime for wife so she would get a free ebook every month. The rest is all a bonus to us. 1 book a month at 10 bucks a book more than covers the cost.

I just pulled the trigger on an MVP 2 but willingly paid $10 more at Varitube because I couldn't stand the suspense on shipping. After discount it was $53.95 and only black available. I tossed in a few Evods to get it over $60 and get free shipping.

You're killing me - I already placed the order and it's in shipping so it's past the cancel window.
Oh well, $45 shipped with a couple of iClear 16's included was a good deal. I think I'll just put it out of my mind and dig in for the wait.
I can just picture it on the back of one of those three wheeled vespa's heading for RI from Hong Kong or maybe the Hong Kong mail carrier will walk it to RI this time :)

For all the complaing I do about the shipping times, I keep going back.
Fasttech has the best prices. The quality has been fantastic on everything I've bought from them. The couple of times I did deal with the customer service people - they were very easy to work with and they did aim to please. It's been said throughout this thread, don't be in a hurry if you're ordering outside of the country....

I just got a Roku. Compared to Netflix it looks like I could make that pay, I'll have to look into it.

It seems that orders made after 9/10 are getting here while orders made before that are still jammed up. Yours will sail right through.

I will keep ordering from FT but I probably won't order any juices until the inspection deal blows over.
The batts I don't really worry about, since I get mine from RTD.
My next FT order (green K100) is going to be in the holiday window so I will just order it and forget it and when it shows up, it show up.

Shipping/tracking sites are the bane of my existence, lol

I've heard some people say the Free 2nd day shipping pays for Prime, and the free Kindle books and the movies are the frosting on the cake. For me the movies pay for the Prime. And, the Free 2nd day shipping is the bonus. I own two Kindles and haven't downloaded a free book using my Prime monthly allowance, yet. We use the Kindle Fire HD the same way people use their i-Pads .... mostly games. My Kindle Touch is collecting dust.
