SO.......do you guys and gals think it would be better to order juices separate, or right along with atomizers and etc?

 

[Ref Minor]

From what has been said so far it looks like mixed packages have more chance of getting through.

Sounds like it. Or products that have the battery inside the device or no juice to begin with.

It definitely seems they are just enforcing long time rules they used to ignore causing backups.

I got a package today.......but didn't get one atomizer!! I feel like an idiot!

Oh, they have Vamo V2 clones in colors! Purple is looking very Vikingesque...

Regarding the shipping: My first shipment took a week (that was with both a weekend and a holiday thrown in there). Every single shipment since then has gotten slower...and slower...and, well, you get it.

I saw those...and just when I thought that I might be done spending on mods for awhile.
I want the Red, Fuschia and Gold ones ^_^
They look anodized.

I wish that they would do a Vamo in the same colour green as that Kamry X7

Hmmm. If they look pretty I'd wait to see how well the finish lasts. This is a thing that you're going to hold in a hot sweaty hand for a long time - and then there's the new Vamos as well.

FWIW all 5 of my amazon orders that originate in from china are already on US soil and en route to my location within 10 days from order to getting to my doorstep.

Still waiting on UDCTs and a bunch of random tips from fastech. The tips actually havent moved from "order placed" and its been almost 3 weeks. The other order is also in acceptance like some of you.

My silicone button coasters (not from FT but from China) seems to have gotten caught up in whatever is going on because I notice that the ship date for those are within the same ship dates from FT that I am hearing about here.

That is awesome! Hadn't seen that before. How cool would that be on St. patty's day?

best regards, larry mac

I don't know why more manufacturers don't do mods in that emerald green....instead they seem to opt for the lime green...that lime colour makes me want to hurl...eww

And you never will...

Back on topic - The "only battery and eliquids" statement is bunk. I've had an SVD sitting in Hong Kong since 9/03 and at this point i doubt i'll ever see it. That, combined with the defective IGO-L i just got from them in the mail just about seals the deal that i won't be purchasing from fasttech again. I'll just be searching from the best deal from U.S. suppliers from here on out.

I made on order on 9/3, it shipped 9/5, it arrived at my door 9/10. (it was an itaste v3 & 60 ml juice)

Not to say that your situation is not frustrating - I'm sure I would feel the same. Just that stuff was being shipped at that point. Perhaps or different locations affect it?

I made 3 separate orders that left on 8/28 coming to USA NYC. The svd and 18350 batts got here in 5 days (...??)
But,
My 2 "mixed" orders .. evods, evod batts etc are stuck in Hong Kong since 9/2.
It's luck of the draw. Really?? There's not a thing we can do about it.
I trust that fast tech will fully back my orders should they, get lost or get returned, so it's really just hurry up and wait lol.
We all take chances, usually it's a pretty cut and dry delivery of 8-10 days. (Give or take)
Anyway, all we can do is hang in there....
I made a silly mistake of giving my egos to my sister and now I'm left with 1 battery.... so I'm just gonna order something from a supplier here for the time being.
Even though it's a lengthy and frustrating wait, it will all get sorted out.
Hang in all!!

I got the fushia one, and the threading on it destroyed two of my BCCs. It also requires a LOT of clicking. I think they are anodized but don't know how to tell for sure.

My FT order took 12 days to GA U.S. (including 2 weekends and a holiday). Was my first time and for the knockoff PT 2 mini's with removable drip tips. They seem okay so far. Ordered Aug 31 if that helps.

Another China vendor took a whole month. I had forgotten I ordered the stuff and almost sent it back right there on the spot but there was no invoice and no return address. Ha.

 

[GraCnT]

It's probably for the best then, if you are time conscious rather than price conscious, it doesn't really make sense to order from another country on the other side of the world. Most of the time its Ok but you will always risk delays and hold ups when importing.

This is so true!!
You just have to order and forget....
It will come.

There is an updated FT staff posting here I'll ctrl-v it here for the chronically lazy



I asked a FT staff about 'mixed packages that are not primarily batts/juice but do include them and they said



So its really a question of "do you feel lucky?". My thoughts are:

1. Specify non HKpost option if possible - SG post or premium carriers
2. If you need an item guaranteed to come quickly you may need to look for a supplier closer to home
3. I am 100% confident FT will refund orders that get sent back so nobody will be losing money.
4. This x-ray crap won't last long - its just bureaucrats f-ing with suppliers of batteries & 'perfumes' (which includes e-juice). Crackdowns never last too long in Asia. If you can wait a few weeks and see what the score is then do so.
5. 'Cos its free shipping you can always split your orders up [if you have 54 items in your cart like me] and some will probably get through.
6. Mixed stuff will probably get through fine
7. Its not the end of the world as we know it

thank you so much,,,,,,,

this explains everything, and I totally appreciate your taking the time to copy that here.

Now I'm not so worried. It will come eventually,,,,,,,,,

I agree 100% and I don't mean just the shipping. FT has no control over that but the shipping house it self is out of stock a lot more and they are taking foreever to answer questions/tickets and in sorting out problems.

Again, I think I'll let things settle down before I put another FT order in.

 

[CommaHolly]

What is or is not allowed in the US is completely irrelevant. You have placed an order with a company in China, until your parcel reaches the US your order obeys the rules in that country.

LOL, I didn't mean it like that,,,,,

what I meant was that as far as I know a vamo isn't an illicit item, since it's MADE in the country it's being shipped from AND, it's not illegal HERE (like it is in other countries),,,,,,,so what would be illicit about it??

Vamos are illegal in Florida. Only Provaris are allowed.

Possession isn't what is illicit. Shipping by mail is for certain items.
