Thanks for the Singapore Post tracking link. I checked all of mine and they all say wait 24 hours after shipment to see movement or something like that. It's been over a week or close to 2 weeks for the remaining packages. The HK tracking numbers have all been delivered, so now we see if the SG tracking is worse or better.

Well based on my singapore post package that was shipped on the 22nd, and some things I have read at ft forums, I think their tracking is definitely worse. The only site I can pull up anything at is quantium. And some have been saying that packages take a week to two weeks...or more...from the time that they are 'shipped to destination hub' from china until they pop up in the US. Which is much worse than the old HKpost.

Mine went into 'shipped to destination hub' on the 28th. No info since then. I look everyday, but I just put in a ticket for an order currently waiting for them to ship it via china post epacket as that maybe quicker.

Still waiting on an order shipped in October. Haven't been refunded either.
Considering reordering because I actually need something from that order soon.
so if USPS first class is causing this problem with batteries/eliq, what is the ideal shipping method that won't cause these hold ups in HK?

There is none. Seriously, it is almost pointless to order batteries from china right now. Liquids seem to be getting through. It's not usps, it's the china services themselves. If you need something soon, do yourself a favor and order stateside. As you are obviously aware, ordering from FT is a real crap shoot these days.

Is it only e-cig batteries? or batteries in general? I really need one of the heavy duty bike lights from FT, think the batts are included. Bike lights stateside are 200% more, but I guess I gotta bite the bullet.

Yeah those protanks are fixed...I like the PTII type tanks..but they are alot more expensive
https://www.fasttech.com/p/1494104

I have one of these, one on the way...they work GREAT and when you replace the flavor wick with cotton it vapes AWESOME! eGo threaded so they have much better retention, even if loose they don't wobble and wont strip out/wear out the 510 connector for other tanks

I also got one of these, works great being able to charge the phone and the eGo from one USB port

So for everyone ordering to the US right now, be prepared.

I just found out that the package that I was looking at that shipped with Singapore post(ordered thru the normal usps free shipping) that I was expecting to show up in the US anyday....well, thats not going to happen.

Based on reading info on the FT forum, when your package says this using Quantium(my package still just says "Information Received" when using 17track):

CONFIRMED PICK UP REQUEST 25/Nov/2013 15:11:16 HONG KONG
PICK UP ARRIVED AT ORIGIN HUB 28/Nov/2013 15:45:36 HONG KONG
ITEM PROCESSING AT ORIGIN HUB 28/Nov/2013 18:42:52 HONG KONG
ITEM DISPATCHED TO DESTINATION HUB 28/Nov/2013 21:50:19 HONG KONG

that the 'destination hub' is not the US. It goes to Singapore first. lol

Order shipped on the 22nd. So 10 days and counting for it to just show up in Singapore, and then hopefully get on its way to the US.

Oh boy, everyone that ordered those caravela clones? Yeah, expect them in 2014, even if they do ship out tomorrow.

Slow tech just got a whole lot slower imo. And I used to be such a fan. Shame....

Got one of my packages today. 1 30ml of Hangsen Banana, 1 30ml Dekang melon, 1 10ml Hangsen Mango, Black x9 Protank and ego adapter.

The Banana and Melon are Blah so they'll be sitting out for a bit.

Mango is decent out of the bottle but letting it sit with the rest.

X9 is frickin' heavy but seams to vape well. It looks really sharp!

19mm ego adapter was flawless as well. No issues.

Banana is disgusting. Those other reviewers are on drugs.

Melon tastes like Cantaloupe. Not a bad thing unless you can't stand cantaloupe. :( Read a review where it was supposed to have a primarily Watermelon flavor, it didn't. Still good though if you like it.

As I said before, the Mango is very good imho. Only comes in 10ml though.

I have historically had excellent experience with FT. I did place an order on 11/5/2013, included several ego batteries. I received notice and tracking said it shipped 11/13/2013. Status still shows "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment" today. submitted a ticket tonight because I am concerned with all the returns and nondeliveries that I will not receive my goodies. Have another order was only around $10 for some Ipod accessories. Shipped 11/6/2013. MY mistake I did not realize I would not receive a tracking number with free shipping (gotta read the fine print), so although I don't expect it to be returned to FT, it's a long wait....

I'll admit FT is not as fast as I would like. But I am still a fan. For a lot of products the pricing is half or less than you can get them here for. If I am not in dire need I can wait, albeit impatiently. Considering how masive a project that changing their entire shipping setup would be, while still doing business, I am impressed as hell. I am about to log onto FT right now and order one of the Caravelas or a Nemesis
