I finally got notification this morning that it hit SF on 10/2 and hit the sort facility yesterday. It was ordered on 9/19. I hope I get it by Saturday, but it probably won't get here until Mon or Tues. seems of late my orders are taking 2 1/2-3 weeks and that was with the shipping upgrade. They used to take about 10 days

You avatar makes you a person after my own heart. I have SO many pictures of my black kitty sitting in my piles and cones of yarn. Even one of her doing her best to unwarp my floor loom!

GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! NOT FAIR NOT FAIR NOT FAIR THAT Y'ALL HAVE YOUR STUFF AND I DO NOT!

foot stamp.

mine is still stuck, along with everyone else who's stuff arrived in HK on the 5th/6th of september.

I think my latest order may be completely lost, shipped Monday, but when click shipping number, says not found, know it can take a day or 2 for shipping to show info, but now on 5th day, not had this happen before, but will wait till next week and if still showing, guess will submit a ticket, mine not stuck, it's missing altogether.

I don't think it is lost, just not being tracked correctly. Mine from the same date as yours is in exactly the same state - the tracking numbers are not showing up. I've decided to wait until next week, when the holiday is completely over, before I ask FT to see if they can get HK to show the tracking.

Well as I am not the only one, not so concerned now. Was surprised got the shipping email on Monday which was their holiday.

My SG Post tracking numbers have been completely screwy recently. They have taken over a week to register then completely skipped stages. My last went from acceptance straight to shipped to overseas destinations.

I'm right there with ya ,,,Holly. My order from 9/9 is still stuck in HK Purgatory. 'Course, it has 6 shaped batteries in it. That may have a great deal to do with it.

On the bright side - My TVS that I ordered on 9/16 should arrive today. It woulda gotten here yesterday but it was mistakenly sent to the wrong post office. I saw that it was Out For Delivery from the wrong post office and called them immediately. They caught the driver and forwarded the shipment to the correct p.o. That would've stunk to have it delivered to the wrong address.

I got movement! 19 days of acceptance in HK and finally processed through. 2 cheepie egos and 10 evods. Makes me wonder if the packages are all in big bins and they are starting with the more recent ones on top and working their way down to the older ones.

I was eyeballing the fusion razor heads too. (as before mentioned, a few pages back) The price is right and they are trade marked Gillette.

My order also stuck since the 9th with batteries (ordered on the 6th) Another more recent order arrived yesterday.
Waiting is so hard...I am expecting it will be returned to fasttech...when??? Maybe by the New Year.

28 days in "Acceptance"............

Just thought I'd show y'all what I did with my KTS Storm. Frankly, I'm a bit bored by brass and chrome, more brass, more chrome. I wanted something ... warmer. I skinned it with wood burl automotive vinyl.

Have always liked seeing your creations.

.....well crap.

Same thing I said. I saw them on Fasttech. I hate buying razorblades. I use 1 blade for a month or 2. I don;t shave on weekends unless the wife gives me a pretty smile and asks.

Then I saw the post on a thread saying they weren't very good. I thought back to shaving with dull razors. I will say when I put a fresh blade in.... heaven.

I actually have some of the Mach 3's but have not tried them yet. FT says in the discussions that they are thinner than the US version but I don't have a Grizzly Adams beard so I'm guessing they will work ok. The reviews on the site were mixed. I'll report back on them once I open the new pack.

My guess is that after San Francisco the boat headed up to the Columbia River and is now heading up the Snake River towards Idaho Falls, ID! And based on the speed it seems that they are rowing!

My order with bottles and magnets is still stuck since 9/7/2013 . But that was just over 10 bucks with no tracking.

My K101 ordered the same day was here last week. This one had tracking.

I am debating waiting longer or canx the payment thru paypal.

Yeah, that is really, really gorgeous! I got a J-wrap for mine, but it didn't cover the full 18650 size, so there were always gaps :/ I ended up taking it off and I appreciate the basic silver and gold finish now =] I think I'll try to get some automotive vinyl the next time and see if I can wrap my own when I want a change... I'm not expecting the best wrap since I am a bit blind AND clumsy, but I can give it a try =] Thanks for the pictures, that is really a gorgeous look for a KTS!

That's actually not too bad. I'd be happy with 3 weeks from ordering date to delivery date. Are you on track to get your stuff in 21 days?
