Note: problem with Hong Kong postal service (apparently affects orders shipped USPS, too):
"Sorry for the issue.
We have tracked it for you, and only to find that the package is still stuck in HK,which may be caused by the recent HK postal issue.
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 Centre 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.

Hongkong Post - Notices - Delay In Outbound Air Mail Services
FastTech confirms that all battery airmail packages are being affected at this time. This includes HKP/USPS, and Singapore Post.
Here is what's happening:
Packages with primarily batteries in them are now more likely to get caught and get returned to us. We'll refund in those cases.
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 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."
My order was shipped Sep. 7th. I still haven't received it. I ordered a Vamo kit, tank, and heads. This could kill Fasttech as a supplier unless they don't include batteries in their kits. Really a bummer!!!
. I googled some B&Ms with 20-30 dollar egos.
