The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts

Probably someone didn't want to pay a higher rate of baksheesh. My September order was held for 21 days without batteries in the order. My October order arrives in 7 days with batteries. I have saved a ton of money by ordering from fastech. If you have ever ordered from any other Chinese broker like Heaven's Gifts, etc. You would know why people prefer fastech.

When I want to try something new i'll order from an US B&M. fastech is usually 45 days out in getting new, brand items and their price is about the same. Over the past year I've probably ordered somewhere between 250-300 items with just a couple of DOA's. Their un-branded stuff is usually identical to the so-called real thing. EVOD's are $2 when you buy 10 and I can't see any difference except for markings. I think they really shine on their low priced RDA, RBA's and mechanicals.I have purchased items from B&M's only to find I got un-branded stuff that the vendor probably got from FasTech in the first place.

Meh when you order you take your chances. My question is why is HK post cutting off business. FT has shipped batteries well in their cases more so than what I have received from US vendors. I really haven't had a problem but it seems too many have. I have been ordering since last year with no problems at all. Ever since Sep all hell has broken loose.

China has lots of problems and undercutting US vendors could be just the tip of the iceberg. They have truly saved me a fortune so I can't complain. As we all know just about everything has batteries in it today from I phones to everything else --what if the major country that makes those shuts the door.

Thats like 'shooting yourself in the foot' or 'cutting off your nose to spite your face'. Sounds exactly like what they're doing to me.

I think FT has made some bad business calls in the way they ship anything, and its coming around to 'bite them in the ....'

Hey guys, just want to know if when the tracking company says "left country of origin", how long after are you expecting it to arrive? I have shipments that said left country of origin on 23/10 and 26/10 however not arrived. I live in NZ.

Seems to me we are seeing what happened in the us after the last major war. Everything was an export back then now we have no jobs or exports, that can't be made cheaply elsewhere.

Did you put in a ticket? Their CS has always been helpful to me. Your package may have hit the Postal overkill they had in Sept.

yes I did, I have been talking to them about it, but they say "they can't track it anyway"

Fogger v2 and Kayfun Lite (or clone) look great on the Nemesis. I have a pic of the Fogger on it in my sig.

If you're looking for simple I'd go with the igo-l. Pretty... The Kayfun or Helio.

To this day it really amazes me how few people read the threads all the way through. You can learn so much.

 

[Ta2ooz]

Well that was quite a read. I found what you guys were talking about, that fasttech mod guy is freaking bent. Jasmines boyfriend is the dude screwing up the shipping?? Well maybe but I think HK and SG post are the ones to be concerned with. I don't think batteries and liquids are going to be had anytime soon if ever again.

1079 pages in. Really can't expect people to scroll through lol.

Quick search is an option tho.

You can get an idea there are shipping problems if you start 3/4 pages ago.

 

[goober]

a couple of my packages say " Origin Post is Preparing Shipment " since yesterday. Does this mean that those packages made it through the inspections and now is on its way to the Us?

 

[goober]

nvm I found this answer online:

"bulkmailtech_usps answered 3 years ago
It means that the origin Post is preparing a shipment for dispatch. basically manifesting packages heading for the US. Most often, a foreign post will merge all of the packages going to one country and list a manifest of each individual package and their tracking numbers, if applicable.

Once the container is full enough, it is passed to be dispatched. When the container is scanned, the status of all of the packages on the manifest will update.

From what you posted, though, your package was dispatched at 1241 hrs this morning. Once it clears Customs in the US, it will be handed over to the USPS for delivery. I would not get worried until Wednesday, at the earliest.

kinda seems weird cuz i have some sony 30 amps and those samsung inr or icr batteries in an order together that was shipped out on the 24th and is now showing the "origin preparing" status, but another order that was shipped out on the 20th containing only 1 pair of batteries and 2 30ml juices has been sitting in "acceptance" till today and still is. Support told me that one is getting sent back to them so I asked them to just give me store credit for the refund since I still wanna buy that ohm meter.

 

[unrl]

Most of the shipping issues are non-trackable numbers or generally stuck on acceptance etc but nothing that says left country but not received, there are some though that hasn't been received but generally should receive within a day or two as I've heard from people that ordered from NZ. Could be luck etc but yeah I guess have to wait it out.

 

[Myrany]

Honestly at this point having read that thread on the fasttech site. At the very least I would not buy juice or batteries of any kind from fasttech. I am really debating weather or not I want to buy anything from them until this settles. THe only reason I am considering it at all is I have a credit sitting there on my account from a DOA item a few months ago that I could use.

 

[quiter]

I order a lot of stuff from China in fact I average about three packages a day. Companies that ship batteries or e-juice are all having a tough time with any of their shipments. They cracked down on the batteries and started inspecting everything and the companies that got caught playing fast and loose with the rules are now getting all their packages inspected.

It is NOT just fast tech that is having major problems with customs right now. Every company that I deal with that ships batteries is having one heck of a time. Most are not getting batteries out at all right now. They keep trying to find work arounds but it's not looking good.


Meanwhile I ordered these.

Gee maybe a company that employs people might move back. This may turn out to be beneficial.
