I had a package from 3F,Ft,and Urvapin all shipped within a few days of each other that all came through fine end of last month,beginning of this month.Although the 3F and Urvapin orders did not go through Beijing,but the Ft order did,no issues with any of them though,all took less than 10 days to get to me.
GearBest no longer has shipping methods to Canada??? Hmm. Fasttech has better prices and is primarily from HK. Checking Fasttech out ... ordered an atty ... been 12 days and only yesterday did it reach packaging stage. Crossing fingers.
Was the item in stock at the time you ordered? Something that you have to pay attention to at ft.
Yes. They suddenly needed to restock (added a day). Total time + restock is still within stated '7 business days to ship'. Still optimistic ... hopefully, protests over 'extradition law' did not affect the mailing system at HK.
Hope not, took a chance and ordered from vapezone.com today. Pretty sure they're out of HK. Couldn't resist, they had a mod in the color I've been chasing for several months.
After reading this thread, I now believe there might be a problem with my latest fasttech order.
I ordered some coils about 10 days ago and the shipping info has been stuck on origin post is preparing shipment, with no new updates at all.
I wonder if this has to do with the latest trade stuff and China is deliberately messing with outgoing shipments.
If yes, then I guess I'll have to order from elsewhere, even if it's more expensive. I don't have time for any foolish antics.

Los Angeles Lakers, Lock and load, Laugh a little. Funnily enough "LAL" also stands for Labrador Airways Canada and that really wouldn't surprise me if FT is involved.
But generally I always presumed it was the airport but there's no Chinese airport with that abbreviation. It always seems to be the last stage of shipping after China Post Express Logistics. Then switches to "reaching processing centre" and lastly "customs release".

It's a mystery.
My Fasttech order that was held up then returned was reshipped via Nanjing on 6/21 and reached my local post office this morning. Of course it will arrive tomorrow when we're away for a couple days. Order was originally placed on 5/27 for in stock items. The good news is that the reship only took about two weeks.
I have a HK and China orders with shipping labels created, fingers crossed my luck holds.
I've not ordered in a while from FT. I usually search US vendors and if the price is reasonable and in stock I order stateside. Last order from FT only took 8 days to get to Georgia, so not an issue. Most orders from NY get here in a few days.
My FastTech atty is on its way via ePacket. Looking good so far. If all goes well, will indulge my 'shinyitis' and get backup atties and mods.
The tracking for my FT shipment that was resent through Singapore Post airmail on June 24 is only today showing it's first update since then. It says it arrived in Chicago on the 6th and is due to be delivered on the 9th which will make it 16 days since it was shipped - 39 days since the first try by ePacket.
