Ordered 10/11/13 and showed shipped 10/24/13

Seems like the longer it takes FT to actually get it out, the faster it gets through customs.

what was it you ordered...wonder if they had an item in stock and held all of it until it came in, or it shipped then got kicked back, or sat in a HUGE pile waiting to get scanned...hmmm

14 days before it got accepted...ouch!

I'm sorry Ruby, I hate to be a downer. I just feel like I can't win. Used an ego to find out I like vaping and successfully quit smoking for about six months.
Order a mod so I can keep vaping in case something happens to my egos. BZZT! HKP blocks it.
Order an MVP2 from an American reseller so HKP can't screw it up. BZZT! Local mail carrier loses/steals it.
Good think I have my egos to fall back on. I have two of those. BZZT! Charger dies. Both ego batteries are worthless.

It's so frustrating.

No one else seems to be having these problems so I'm sure you'll be fine. Like I said, it just appears that God doesn't want me to vape.

(is there one of those animated emoticons for the world's smallest violin?)

yes..yes there is

daggum...you have been having a craptastic time...lets hope you can get on track and start having a good vaping experience

Heck...I have a spare Vamo...if you need it to not go back to the stinkies, let me know

Fwiw, 101 has sold out of the MVP.

Ordered it and the wraps Friday night from2 different vendors and they shipped yesterday, will be here Tuesday. First lower 48 order so I'm really not used to the fast shipping.

Ft Order (Acp 31st) left HK today and should hopefully be here Saturday at the latest.

Well you forgot the Golden Rule ! ! !

Always Have Backups, and Backups of Your Backups. 2 EGO's and one charger for as long as you have been vaping is a poor setup (I have a LOTS more than that & several chargers). You should have tripple that at the very least. Yes to start, to see if it is for you, 1 set of batteries and 1 charger is fine. But once you see that this is what you want, order another set & charger. Then after a month or so order another set and charger (savings from NOT smoking will pay for these). Then if you want to venture to some of the mods or something, great. But always have backups, and backups of your Backups. This also applies to cartos, tanks, EVOD,s, coils, etc, ALL YOUR HARDWARE AND JUICE. I see posts all the time of someone with this going bad, or running out of juice, and NOT having backups. It is not like smoking where you can just run to the store to pick up another pack of stinkies. And NEVER order from FT unless it is just for spare/backup stuff that you won't need for over a month. I was upset with my FT order that took 47 days, but I had plenty of stuff to keep me going, I was just upset with how long it took, not that I needed it today or I would go back to the stinkies. If you are going on a long drive do you wait until you run out of gas and then gripe because there is not a station close? Come on, always be prepared for what life craps on you.

Nobody can stress enough the importance of back-ups.

When I smoked I always had a pack hidden back in the freezer. Just in case.

That does not seem like a realistic expectation to me. Something delivered in the US only 5 days after leaving China would be the rare exception rather than the rule. Bear in mind that the postage rates paid by Fasttech do not qualify incoming shipments for treatment as 1st Class mail by the USPS.

 

[patrao_n]

Yes its the rare case with that. Be prepared for a lot longer. I was expecting a month. And hit in five days. Earliest its ever been was 7 days. Normally about 2 weeks.

It's very possible. It'll probably arrive in SF tomorrow, depart Tuesday and be in my mailbox by the end of the week. Maybe Monday if it gets held up. Usually once it leaves SF it'll take 4 or 5 days for it to be delivered. This is my 10th or 11th order from them and have the times pretty well nailed down (SF to home).

If I'm misunderstanding what you're saying I apologize, I'm frickin' tired. Damn Dst.

My last FT order with a couple of tanks, charger, and EGO batteries:

Ordered 10/24
Shipped 10/24
Accept. 10/30
HKP Out 11/02
USPS In 11/03

 

[jocat54]

My last three orders from FT have been delivered to my mailbox in less than 7 days after they left HKP. I do have an order that left HKP on Nov 3 (yesterday by HK time) so we will see how long this one takes.

My offer still stands, my friend.
PM me if you need to, not here

Ordered 7 juices on the 18th and had them the 28th. Just ordered a sentinel m16 about 10 hours ago and it's in packaging process. Just hoping it'll be shipped fine.


Edit: I have two egos and one charger. Been running this setup for 3 months and never had a problem. Now I'm going to a sentinel and two 18650s with one charger.

Strong suggestion when you can get a backup charger for each type of device. You never know when it is the charger dying that will toss you.

 

[bigbells]

I ordered a pair of the LG 4.35V 3000mah 18650 batteries on October 8 and received them on October 24. https://www.fasttech.com/products/1314900
I'm really liking the batteries. They seem to be living up to the hype I've read in other threads, with noticeably longer vape time than my 2600mah batteries.

3 previous orders, however, have not arrived yet. Only one of those orders contains any batteries.

 

[Myrany]

Well my package has been stuck since Wed in the I have a tracking number but no info is showing up on any tracking site for it yet. Hoping tomorrow to at least have it show in the system SOMEWHERE. LOL

I was going to say the exact same thing as Burnie.

If not smoking is a priority sink everything you can into buying backups until you have so much backed up that you can go at month without buying anything.
Save the risky bargain hunting (too good to be true ripoffs, international shipping, China, etc.) for what you don't need.

The only exception to this rule is if you have a local vape shop. Then you will be introduced to another rule that is the flipside of the backup rule, those who rely on just in time purchasing pay more.

Just checked the status of my package thats been stuck in "origin preparing" for about 11 days on the HK site, and it says its being returned to shipper... I didnt have any batteries or juice. A battery tube and 3 rda's. That sucks.

 

[HybridCypher]

Anybody having problem with the tracking? Its really starting to piss me off. I wait a week before i get a tracking, and the tracking doesnt work!

 

[goober]

So everything seems to be moving a long except for my 18650s.

And that is why FT has lost not only battery sales for me but I paid quite a bit more for a SVD locally. I just don't feel like messing around with these inconsistent made up rules.
