My last order (ordered the 11th of Oct) sat for 4 days at the we have a tracking number but no tracking registers it. Then it sat in the "Accepted" state for another 5 days. Once it cleared that it was in my hands in 3 days.

Your example dovetails nicely with what I'm saying. A tracking number that shows up nowhere is just a bunch of digits. It's meaningless. There is no evidence that my 10/08 order has actually left the fasttech site. I'm not floating a conspiracy theory. It's simply a lack of organization. fasttech needs an efficient shipping department that moves packages first in, first out. My order is probably sitting in a cart/bin/pallet that some fasttech employee shoved aside. There are plenty of stories here of people waiting to see their tracking numbers come to life. Blaming Hong Kong Post is way too convenient and it's highly improbable that Hong Kong Post has been holding it for two weeks.

Yep, I ordered one from Fasttech on 10/11 which has been sitting in Acceptance in Hong Kong since the 18th, but I had to pull the trigger on this. Shopping with Fasttech is great most of the time, but sometimes you just have to grab a better deal and have duplicates LOL

My skins have already arrived from Amazon... I just got some iPhone 4G skins, a pack of 5 different colors for $9.98 that I'll use to make them a bit different Amazon.com: 5 Different Colors Carbon fiber vinyl full body skin decal sticker for iPhone 4 and 4G: Cell Phones & Accessories

Skin Dimensions: 4.54"L x 2.31"W x 0.37"D
Innokin iTaste MVP V2.0 Dimensions: 4.21"L x 1.61"W x 0.86"D

I am also considering some 1440pcs Flat Back Rhinestones Round Brilliant, but the sight is weak, so I am not sure I'll be able to put them on LOL

I've been reading the last 10 pages of this thread & I've been popping in & out every now & then to see if I missed anything in here...(sigh) For those who don't know me.... Happy Vapes All Around !!! Yadda, Yadda, Yadda...
I just celebrated my 4th year vaping last month & this past July 4th made 4yrs since I survived an aortic aneurysm. For those who don't know....My aorta split, starting 3cm from my heart down to the break in my legs. Leaving me with severe nerve damage from the waist down & I was told to get my affairs in order & given 6 mos to a year. All thanks to smoking Newports for nearly 30 yrs.

Now, I've been buying from FastTech since my birthday last March... & I can honestly say, I've placed at least 25-30 orders & I only had issues with my very 1st order. Which I sent a pic of the damaged atty & they gave me store credit... I think a lot of folks on here aren't reading the part that says "How many days it takes to ship" I've read thru a lot of complaining...(lol) FastTech opened my eyes to how much USA vendors were jacking up the prices... 4 yrs ago a $85 -$100 Silver Bullet or Omega, was the cheapest mod on the market & Boges were the best cartos available....

AnyHoo...Bottom line ... Buying from FastTech is ultimately a choice made by the vaper. It is obvious.... if you need your vape gear right away, buying from FastTech shouldn't even be an option, go to your local B&M or order close, so you can get it in 3-4 days. IMO, FastTech is like a wholesale Vaping Walmart... I buy in bulk & I am never stressed about they're timing. China works by a completely different set of ethics than us Americans, but I for one would rather have my package slow & correct, than fast & sloppy.... 30 orders & only 1 mess up... is pretty good stats...

In 4yrs Got Jerked... my bad "aka" Got Vapes, has messed up more of my orders than I can count & they still owe me several items I've never received after countless emails & promises, until I finally realized it only cost me a lot of wasted time & a few dollars to choose NOT to buy from them again. That was a little over a year ago & they're here in the USA...
If you can't stand the heat...Stay out of the kitchen....If the items says 8 or 10 days to ship...please do the math...you are not gonna get it in 8-15 days .... Its gonna be the 8 or 10 days PLUS the 8-15 for shipping. So your looking at 16-25 days before you get it.

FastTech does not control customs... Not in Hong Kong or San Fran... Your dealing with each countries rules & regulations for customs...And you might want to stock up on your vape gear from FastTech, because once the FDA starts taxing vape gear as a tobacco product...Its gonna be more than just batteries & juice that won't get thru customs...

All the tobacco companies you used to buy smokes from... Are the ones that run & pay off senators & the like, for the rules & regs to be swayed in their favor & they ain't too happy about losing money because more & more Americans are making the switch to vaping... They want the FDA & customs to ban all ecigs & vape accessories from being so easily bought by consumers, coming into the states period.(unless they're being bought buy vendors) They'd much rather we have no choice but to buy from the same companies that sold us cigarettes. Those same companies are in the ecig business now, in case you haven't noticed & they don't care how much healthier vaping is. They would prefer that you keep smoking, but since that's a choice they have no control over, they will do their best to control whatever they can.

Vaping is an alternative to smoking for me, so I will more than likely vape until I take my last breath. FastTech isn't for everybody, that much is clear...but don't stress yourself over things you can't control. I'm sure everyone has their reasons for using FastTech & only you can decide, if its really worth the wait. Me personally, I vaped with the same 3 mods up until this past March. My Silver Bullet, Omega & Provari. As a single mother of 2, I lost everything after the aneurysm. My job, my home, my car & even my husband, so FastTech was a blessing to me... My vape gear budget is $40 a month, never more than $50, but I buy my juice from ECBlends or Mt Baker.

Since I started using rebuildables, I definitely get more bang for my buck from FastTech. I can buy a $20 mod like a King or Chi You & still have $30 for ejuice. Plus its free or very little for shipping & if by chance something goes wrong...
I know I can either get my refund thru FastTech or PayPal, simple as that. Vaping can be as simple & easy as smoking was, if you let it. There's no need to be stressed over such a relaxing habit, like vaping... Well, I've said enough & I'm going to go back to my little corner & watch from the side lines...(lol) Happy Vapes All Around, Everyone & Have a Blessed Thursday... Melody aka MsNoSmoke...

Holycrap,,,,,,,,,pardon my language,,,,,,,you, my friend, are a miracle,,,,,,,,,I was a 2 PAD Newport smoker for 30 years too,,,,,,,,it was my friend's brain aneurism (at least partly due to smoking) that got me off them and onto the vape :)

Nice to meet you.

Add my name to the list of buyers. I've been wanting one of these for weeks. I almost pulled the trigger once when the bottom line cost would've been $54. I'm glad I waited.

I've been wanting one for weeks too,,,,,,,,,,it will back up the Provari I am buying myself for Christmas.

I also have to say.....Yikes! and congrats on surviving something like that.

Now, to throw the obvious but in there.......

For the love of all things holy, PLEASE USE PARAGRAPHS...............:D:D

I was almost having to hold a ruler up to the screen to make sure the lines were matching up.
But it was good advice in the end, though.

Absolutely no hate meant by the above, BTW.

I made the unfortunate error of ordering a bunch of bottles that came to $10.85. Ordered on 9/7/13.

It still is not here. All my other orders were over 20 bucks, had tracking, and arrived in good time. usually 2-3 weeks.

I received this as a reply.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused

AML is the least speed shipping method ,and unfortunately it is not traceable ,so we can't track it

Sometimes it is normal that the packages should take more than 30 working days

Will you wait some days more ,if you can't get it ,please email us again.

Guess I will keep on waiting.

I really wanted the blue one,,,,,,but for that price, I'll buy a wrap!!!!!!!!

I snagged 3 of them 2 will be gifts. I too was looking for blue, but being certain I'm getting a real MVP 2 I can settle for black. At least it looks black.

I hate to break into the 101Vapes party, and I'm happy to see people getting good deals and all that, but could you maybe take it over to another thread?

This is the FT thread, right now mired in the "I've been waiting patiently/impatiently for 2/5/13/19/34 business days for my order to escape from HKP/SGP/the San Francisco black hole/Italian Customs/my postman and am ready to go ballistic/go have a nap..." debate.

Vape on in peace.

There is actually a recent thread I noticed earlier.
