My order for one iTaste VV kit placed on October 10th, shipped October 21st, and its last tracking activity says it was accepted at HK post on the 24th. Hasn't changed since then... it's been almost a month since I placed the order. Whats the deal? God its taking literally forever!!

My last pkg had the iTaste VV kit and it took 1 month and 19 days from order to mailbox.

That's crazy that it takes X amount of time for an order from someone when someone else purchased a day later and received it in less time. Perfect example, I ordered on 10/23, product showed "shipped" on 10/24, went through customs on 10/29, left hong kong on 10/30 made it to San Fransisco on 11/01 and was on my doorstep on 11/02. I guess I feel like I got lucky huh lol.

BTW, if it helps anybody out, I purchased the I-Hybrid V3 mod... shown here...
$38.75 I-Hybrid V3 Mod Rechargeable E-Cigarette Set - silver at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I heard rumor that people weren't digging this one because it's only 18350 sized. But wait! There's more! I also purchased the Chi-You replacement extension tube shown here...
$2.31 Replacement Extension Sleeve for Chi-you Mod at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
And it fits the I-Hybrid V3 perfectly so you can use an 18500 battery in it. Just thought I'd pass this info along to anyone looking at this product!

Whoah! Gorgeous rig!!!!

I placed order today, 3 are not in stock, a kayfun is the one that ready to ship on Nov 21 according to them, I would expect to get this order around the first week of Dec. and we will see about that

[Myrany]

my recent order took 3 days from order to getting a tracking number then another solid 5 days before the tracking number showed up on tracking sites. Now it is showing accepted. LOL this is going to take awhile

Evod clearos, spare heads for them, and empty juice bottles

FYI the ones I received (I got 3 lol) stateside had the 4 prong bottoms just like the stock photo shows, but the one I got from FastTech has a 2 fat prong bottom with a twist lock so the unit doesn't fire by accident. The threads on the lock have that china made feel to them, but in the grand scheme of things if it saves my pants from catching fire I'm ok with it.

lol get a cm/mm scale ...

my mod with 18650 battery + i-Atty RBA = 15 cm (150 mm)

(Note: For anyone who doesn't know, the battery numbers represent the battery dimensions (diameter and length). In case of 18650, 18 mm diameter and 65 mm length of the battery)

 

[puchox]

Well, idk why i decided to check FT at this hour(i know they update in a couple of hours) and for the sake of it checked a battery only order that was "shipped" on the 18th via HKP and it's been dispatched to me today.

I hope Swiss Post works fine so i can avoid HKP forever.

My prediction for todays "New Arrivals" is the Hammer mod clone and several raging threads on the FT forums(one can dream, right )

Don't freak out if your package takes a vacation in France for a week.

I bought a kit from a seller on another site and was given a Swiss Post
tracking number. Last weekend, instead of the package making a stop-over
in Switzerland before heading to North America, it landed in France. Needless
to say, I immediately thought that I was given a fake tracking number and was
about to get burned. Turns out that overseas sellers are using a new shipping
service called asendia, which is a venture between the Swiss and French postal
services. I wish the seller I'm dealing with had told me about asendia beforehand.

Well, now I expect to see my stuff in another month .. You guys have really helped me save myself from unnecessary headache. This is the first time I've ordered from FastTech. If I hadn't read this thread, I would've been shioting bricks because I was getting desperate looking at the same stupid message whenever I tracked my shipping. ok, we're good to go. My stuff is on a world tour

 

[EdOz]

Vamo V3. Ordered on the 30th.. Ship date.. Says the 8th. So what.. Maybe the 15th if I'm lucky? Lol

 

[Camaroboi13]

Lol if you're incredibly lucky EdOz you might see it by the 15th. I figure by the time it's "Shipped", it'll spend a day or two just being confused, roughly 4-7 days floating around in a Hong Kong space time machine, then magically appear to be headed on on a plane. From there, figure another day or so to get to San Fran, then X amount of days to get from west coast to where you are. I'd say somewhere between the 16th and New Year's should be a good estimate lol

 

[indytrucks]

Ordered oct 16th, shipped oct 28th, went through HK and left there on the 3rd. Vamo v5 SS, 2 panny batts and a night core charger. It's already passed through San Fran too. So I guess not everyone has problems shipping batts from them. Hopefully this is a good sign for everyone.

 

[indytrucks]

And the only reason it took a little longer after I ordered was they were waiting on the v5.

 

[Jayvaps]

My order that stated shipped on Nov1st just went into acceptance in HK last night.

I have an Itaste stuck stuck in "acceptance" since the 24th as well. There is probably a bin that got pushed off to the side sitting in a dark corner of HK post that will eventually get discovered and moved along some day (we hope). Also in that order is a computer mouse that I originally ordered on July 8th! Out of stock, shipping debacle, refund certificate not working, etc. That is the only item I "need" as my current mouse is held together by duct tape and needs daily repair in order to keep clicking.

I can verify this! I shipped a Provari to a friend in the UK and it went to Australia first :/ Seems like it should not have left the shipping container/plane, but it did and after it cleared it made it's way to the UK
