Guess I should have mentioned - Once you get Popped, you are in the system. Venders trying to avoid import taxation. From that point on a scan can call you up as a red flag for closer inspection.
Doesn't matter the cost of the order as much as Cost vs Quantity.
You can order 1 tablet $100 or so - Personal use
You can order 50 Clearomizers $100 or so - Considered Resale

The rules are not going to change to suit your fancy.

Even paying 50% on an order could result in a huge savings over Retail
Ithaka Clone $35.22
50% $17.61
Delivered $52.83

Ithaka from Stormy's $79.99 on Sale, was $99.99, Plus shipping

Are you really going to Give away $100+:blink:

Next time, just send me the money - Family would appreciate the gift.:)

Giving $100 away to my family is a drop in the bucket being one of nine and they're one of 11 and down the line. So saying ego cases are worth more than down at the B&M makes sense to you? Right on. BTW I pay taxes. Who pays $100 for an Ithaka clone when FT has them for $35 lol. Smh

Never said you don't pay taxes. We all get caught in that rut.
What I did say is, no matter how you wish to spin it - you cannot call out customs for Following Regulations.:)

We gamble, sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. Lose with dignity.

Ithaka - I never said PAY $100. I Said even WITH Duty the FT DEAL is BETTER
clearer?

In that link, I paste my number in the box and it takes me another page. On that page is another box that own't accept all the numbers FT gave me:
LK#########HK

Is this a bad number?

If you are send to another page titled "Others", I believe it's because your package didn't even enter the postal system yet. All my orders from 09/15-21 are in this sad situation.

This is what I was looking for. I wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one.
Here is what USPS is telling me:
Delivery status information is not available for your item via this web site. A return receipt after mailing may be available through your local Post Office.

Here is how it goes

Your package gets a tracking number, is picked and packe then is sent out from FT and their site will show shipped. It takes a few houres before it arrives at the Hong Kong Post sorting facility. Anywhere from a few hours to a few days later HKP will scan it which only means they have received it. No postal tracking site will show info on it until that scan happens. At that point HKP tracking will update to say it "posted". When USPS tracking sees it is "posted" their tracking will say "acceptance".

Eventually HKP will get around to putting it into their sorting system. At this point their tracking will say "being processed for departure from Hong Kong as of (date)" (which allegedly means it has passed the x-ray equipment if selected to do so and right not all FT orders are selected) and USPS will read "origin post is preparing shipment". After this point is where the statuses are fuzzy for me but it appears HKP will first show it as processed then give a date for it to leave HK, show it departed. All the while USPS goes from processed to departed also but HKP has to update first.

Now you are at the void between postal services until it is scanned in a USPS location inside the US (similar to the void between FT and HKP but the statuses remain in place in tracking.

Important note, as we are seeing right now it can take weeks between status updates.

Singapore Post follows the same process, but the updates look different on the Singapore Post web-portal. The updates look different on the USPS site, too. As far as I know, Hong Kong Post and Signapore Post move the shipments at the same rate. I have no idea why FastTech chooses Hong Kong Post for most orders, but occasionally sends stuff Singapore Post.

We're in the same "boat". My 2 orders were shipped the same day, no movement. Guess it'll be a while. But I did make a new order today for something else. lol

I had two orders ship on the 9th. One was last seen in New Jersey. The other order hasn't arrived in the United States, yet. RQ215017705SG is the order that is AWOL.
