I ordered something from fasttech about 2 weeks ago. Apparently they shipped it and the product page shows the picture of the package and everything, but the tracking # they gave from HK POST doesn't show anything. Anybody else have this issue?

Welcome to FT !I love the picture of a package crap like that makes you feel better that it's on the way. Never got mine...Shipping must still be slow.

I am beginning to wonder if bombarding them with tons of small orders may be part of the problem that most are having.
I never thought about that. I guess its possible. My thoughts have been if a smaller order gets lost, then I'm not out much money. I've also heard of people getting charged extra 'fees' for larger packages when they get processed through customs here state side. Not sure what thats about though. I heard that larger packages get more 'scrutiny' too. I'm not real sure how the process works, but if larger orders could help it out, I would consider it.

I ordered a Vamo v3, and a rda atty the same day. (Two separate orders) I received my Vamo in about 11 days. But my atty is not here yet :( I didn't get a tracking number for the atty. So I'm flying blind. Maybe it will come, maybe not. Its been about two weeks. It could be held up in customs, or rejected and sent back. Your guess is as good as mine. Just glad I have my Vamo, but still a little bummed about the atty. But thats what can happen when ordering from China.

I would think with all the packages that go through HK that real small packages would have a much greater chance of being lost. My biggest problem has been with usps putting small orders from us vendors in another apt's mailbox. Most are retired here and may check mail once a week so it takes forever to get some things. I have to wait til they either send it back or bring it to me. I have had to have 2 orders from jwraps resent as they have never shown up. The reason I started bigger orders was so they wouldn't fit in my mailbox and have to leave it with the office. I have gotten all of those, lol.

I'm waiting for Hong Kong Post to acknowledge that they have my package that shipped on 10/12/13. It's been a week now and the tracking website shows me this:

The Enquiry Reference Number (RC1140801) is not available. We are sorry that we are unable to provide you with further information.

All that's in the order is a knife and some CE4 Cartomizers. I'm staying away from e-Liquids and batteries until FastTech comes up with a reasonable solution. The knife is a Christmas present for my brother and I don't even need the Cartomizers. Tracking the order is more of a daily obsession than any urgent need for the stuff.

For those who still think Hong Post is after FastTech:
HobbyKing Forums - HongKong Post on go slow ... - Page 1 (warning: the posts are in descending chronological order).

In fact, if anyone care to do a search, he'll find many more user forums complaining about the same thing. And generally the batteries are the culprit.

Abstruisius I know you said 'generally' but I deliberately removed the batteries and juice from my order and I've still been waiting close a month for it to arrive here in Canada.

Yes. I did the same from the start. But all packages are mixed in the post. Imagine trying to sort everything and pick the "guilty" ones.

I have decided while upgrading their system USPS has either chosen to or been blocked from Customs. Seems just about no one is getting SF information any more. everything just says passed through sort facility(HK) or arrives.:glare:
After trying USPS and 17Track, I located and ran a package through HKPost own sight and it is the only one that Reflects package has left country> as of oct.17th. Hmmmm:glare:

Spend $5.00 more and go with a proven winner.

No question, hands down on this one as far as I'm concerned.

Edit, they are shipping the V3 now not the V2 pictured . The V3 is VV and VW but they are on
back order right now. Can be gotten state side for a little more.

I agree, Great PV. I got mine just before they ran out, going to order another at some point, but want other than white. I love it.
