Something screwy is definitely going on lately with FT parcels. Usually once my tracking states "Beijing LAL" they're on the plane and I have them a few days later. But lately two orders have got as far as the "LAL" stage and then they're back to "Beijing posting office", then off to "Beijing processing office" before going back to the bloody posting office again. In addition I have another parcel that got lost in China and has been classed as "sign for return" since the 24th of May.

I suspect either this is either down to increased security checks or perhaps it is the routing delivery service having some serious errors going on because I've seen my tracking results change several times in the same day. FT is not typically this inefficient.
It's out of ft's hands once the package is accepted at a Beijing facility. My latest order was just accepted and I'll likely not hear a peep until it reaches Chicago in a week or three.

Hard to tell where this one is..Beijing or Shanghai?
View attachment 820135
6/6 arrive at Shanghai
6/7 left Beijing sent to Beijing at 03:27
6/7 arrive at Shanghai again at 03:28 a minute later

Oh well....maybe it will update on 6/10
Ok my last one was in shanghai.is that good or bad you think? It's 800 miles from Beijing.people on fasttech are still having problones.I do think some packages are making it by customs in China and then getting by the usa/UK customs.making it safe at its door of destination.look at the amount of drugs that make it through customs.maybe China wants to tax all vaper mods.just trying to make sense of all this.I've gotten a lot of great importance from everyone in here.if things do go bad with fasttech we'll have to start a "fasttech recovery" chat

Has anyone on this thread not got their order or is it just their orders are taking a while to arrive? I have seen thread after thread like this over the last 3 years on various sites someone orders an item and picks the free or almost free shipping option (don't blame them for that) and gets nervous when looking at the misleading tracking and it's taking so long so starts a thread like this. I've seen it time and time again yet nothing has ever changed as a reviewer i get packages galore from China and also buy stuff and must admit go for cheap shipping myself i just don't see this big problem, i get things in the same time frame as i always have which includes if you cheapskate like me on the shipping don't cry because it takes so long!

I have had multiple packages make it from China in the past month. I ordered a few squonk bottles from fasttech that showed up two or three days ago, and have two more fasttech packages in transit currently (They split my order). One just cleared customs in Chicago today, and the other should be a few days behind. I also got a package from the Philippines yesterday, which took all of 3 days in transit and it went through China. But I went with cheapo shipping with fasttech, which has taken about 10 days.

That can't be possible apparently there is a big anti western conspiracy delaying, destroying or stealing our vaping stuff, it's a massive issue lol. My Therion 75C as only got as far as the Chinese local sorting office after a week of ordering but the delivery option i picked that's normal like @Letitia says it will turn up like always!

I don't know what you're talking about what me and others are talking about is it looks like.I'm not getting my stuff....NEVER!!!! It's almost been a month, 2 times of going back to fasttech and now it's in Shanghai for 5 days.maybe it's one it's way to me.I have no clue, like I said I've seen the "on its way to jfk" 3 times already.and like I said yes some packages have and will make it but.a lot of people on fasttech are just getting refunded, rebuying and having it shipped back out not by e packet.what I know so far from reading a hundred comments over 3 forums.this is not a dispute, this is a real problem, it is what it is.I'll just keep trying till something works.

When you take the cheap shipping method with fasttech, i'm sure it's something like 35 working day delivery guarantee once you take off weekends and any public holidays it's about 7 weeks, i am not saying it's not slow but it has always been that way nothing new!

been ordering from fasttech for a years now and maybe 3 years ago it took a month but for a year and a half even getting stuff stuck in customs it's only took 23 day and yes I 100% understand you pay for what you get.as a matter fact nobody I know has had a package take over 30 days.haha you sound like when people use to order from fasttech 3 years ago

I order all the time and delivery times have constantly gone up and down, every time there is a period when deliveries are taking a bit longer we get threads like this with stories that people are not receiving stuff etc and all the conspiracy stories nothing that's been said in this thread i haven't heard time and time again. Yet once it all dies down guess what? everyone received what they ordered!

Whatever you say.we're all so lucky to have your wise words of wisdom and encouragement haha.I've never seen this many problems with deliverys from fasttech.I get it,what you know supersedes what everyone else knows about this.the whole 2 years you've been in this forum.all 5 post people have made after ordering for the first time, they make.post after 5 days complaining I get it.but I did a search on this forum under fasttech delivers and they're no post made about thousands of packages repeatedly getting sent back to fasttech for weeks on end, since you've seen this massive amount of post made about this exact same thing please post me a link to all of them, better yet just post me a link to one, I'll wait.have a nice night I'm going to finish up this UFC fight.

As of late it seems China is stopping vaper mods going out of the country

Other post on, ebay, fasttech, 3fvape, aliexpress among Chinese post forums and so on.lots of proof you can look at....and your one link to people saying their packages are repeatedly going back to their shippers in china?Where's that one link "mister skeptic"
What link? i don't have to go through forums to find a link who do you think you are, i'm not demanding you to send links all you sent by your own choice is nothing new and not thousands of people (your words) the Fasttech link had 4 pages with the same people posting it was 12 people in total lol hardly thousands! I simply don't believe China are stopping vaping mods at all and all my deliveries are normal, if i said they were not i would be lying. Any issues will just be as likely paperwork getting through the destination countries as the couriers fax that off in advance to quicken clearance, they are clamping down because tax isn't being paid when it should be but that's not China causing that issue and that happens from time to time but customs have more serious issues to deal with so it normally blows over and everything quickens up again.

Yep just what I thought.a bunch of useless chatter lol.bla bla bla bla bla, all I see is how you're failing miserably at something that you obviously don't know anything about but hey! You wanted to seem relevant and jumped on my post haha.nice try, trying to troll tho. Solded B-
