It is highly variable. Sometimes 10-14 days and sometimes 30+ days depending on luck and which shipping option. TO be on the safe side if I were thinking about ordering now, I would get my order in today or wait until mid February as Chinese New year is going to bork everything up soon. I would also just plan on it being 30 days. If it comes before that it would be a happy surprise.

Or just order and assume an extra week, I can't see the point of delaying an order by a week or more because there will be a weeks delay, just factor that into your expectations. The interest lost on your money is unlikely to be over $0.01 for a weeks delay.
Meanwhile FT just lost 2 sales........But nothing they did wrong.
Compulsive buying syndrome struck - (Thanks for nothing VJ) and I picked up an hcigar Nemesis(101Vapes)$29.99 and a kayfun Lite+(Ebay)$49.99 in all of 2 minutes.
Sadly I do not need either as I will now have 5 Nemesis and 3 KF style atomizers along with the other HUGH Pile of vaping equipment I have amassed.
SS Nemesis and KFL+ will look great together though.
Think I'll Blame Maggiemw - She is always buying and it is contagious. Exposure through internet.
Some people do not know that the holiday is coming or is going to effect things negatively. I got the impression from the person I was answering that time is of an essence and a surprise extra week would not be a happy thing so I mention it.
Your way of course works for those like me who just put in the order and it comes when it comes.
If time is of the essence I don't think I would recommend FT (or any Chinese vendor for that matter) an extra surprise week for any reason is perfectly possible at anytime of year.
Lol, I don't even track my orders anymore. I used to check them once a week.
Just a note for reference - Last year Chinese New Year caused shipping Delays UP TO 4-6 Weeks as supply houses and Machine shops Geared back up for production and deliveries to Venders.
Ordering - TO SHIP PRIOR - was not an issue and actually did not effect shipping times.
Ordering to ship After was a Major head ache.
Many Manufacturers Deplete Materials inventory before closing and must wait for resupply. Often Manufacturers start New Release production which adds QC(LOL
) Delays.KANGER fell flat on their back sides last time.
I have an order being delivered today- 14 days after placing the order! HAPPY! 
I have 3 orders coming from FT via CP EPacket. Just got my first one in yesterday, via SP, in 15 days. Either my orders are just chillin' in China, or tracking is not being updated. So far, it looks like SP snail is in the lead!
As far as FT stuff being cheap crap. Hey, they have been good to me! Their products have been decent too. I look at stars when I order, then I check the reviews and discussions on the products I am interested in. I get the feeling they operate like Amazon, but they do not nail you on shipping like American vendors do. Worth the wait to me. I heard from my hubby that stamps are supposed to go up again! Pfft!

Quality?
Shipping issues?
I ordered Ink Refills(6x 100ml Bottles) for my Epson Photo CISS system.
Received 1 Very Disgusting MESS
Items in flimsy squeeze Bottles with pointed tops.
Places in USPS Priority FLAT Pack Envelope with NO PADDING. WTH??????
Several Bottle poked holes Out of the package.
Black ink Bottle Ruptured
Black ink Covered everything in the package, leaked through the package and made a general mess.
Hate to think what my neighbors mail looked like yesterday.
It isn't just China or Fasttech that needs to step things up a notch. Maybe that is why I don't get so flustered with them. I realize the world is heading into that Abyss.

Update on shipping...
I just had seven (7!!) packags from FastTech arrive. All were shipped between Dec. 23rd and Dec. 26th.
Three were via ePacket (non-battery, non-juice).
Four contained batteries (egos) and came through the regular (Singapore) post.
Taking the holidays into account and the bad weather we've had (storms), I'm quite pleased.

I was expecting my fasttech order to either take ages or not turn up etc. I was pleasantly suprised when it turned up in 15 days, including xmas and new years, so that is 13 days or about 9 working days. Will be using them again definately.
is two weeks the usual shipping now? I ordered from fasttech a while ago, and recently made a small purchase, not enough to give me tracking.
My Kayfun, Hammer, and Driptip are out for delivery now.
Shipped on 12/23, via Singapore Post
18 days with a holiday in the middle...not bad.

I did an order on 12-23 as well (Singapore Post). It made it into the US on 1-3, where she sits, loving Los Angeles...
I did another order on 12-31 (China Post). Arrived today. Yay!

Sure, but the shipping carriers stay on Holiday longer. At least last year they did except for HK USPS.
I started vaping last march and honestly I was delayed several weeks in getting a starter kit because most US vendors were sold out of dang near everything. It wasn't really until mid April that things settled after the holiday with suppliers.
Wow. maybe I need to spend more time here at ECF reading. I never knew this thread was even here. I am a Fasttech junkie now so I will be chacking out this post. I think I have placed anbout 10 orders in the last 2 months. I just got 2 last week and hae another that shouldbe here tomorrow or Monday. I will be keeping my eye on this thread from now on.
