It looks as if they are packing a replacement order to ship by Singapore post registered airmail, as if my original order ePacket shipment hadn't actually been returned to them.
that sucks.they've done that to a lot of people.that's bad bizz, they really need to keep people up to date and stop lying to people.saying it's all ok.my package went through Shanghai after 4 failed attempts going though Hong Kong.I hope they route it that way this time to.

    Even tho anniepan one of the main public relations people for fasttech promised that things where fixed people are still reporting problems and it's obvious my package is going to be bouncing around China yet again.

“Face” as I understand is a different issue in many Asian countries in general as well as China. It makes getting the truth occasionally difficult because the truth may have additional perceived ramifications.

Fasttech issued my refund in two days.
Order sat in a shipping loop for 6wks and i received a notice of returned to sender. That was my first fasttech order.
Seeing as how fasttech shipped my order next day and issued refund so quickly, I do think they are trying to do good business. So, I'm going to make a small order today and see how the postal service treats me. Fingers crossed

Fasttech is 100% legitimate and they'll offer the refunds if the customer wants one.been ordering from them for years now and I'm kinda a "fanboy" of fasttech.whatever is going on isn't their fault at all its all the Chinese post.I made a small test order about a week and a half ago.my order has been kicked back to fasttech 2 times and has left China for the USA about 3 times.I'm hoping this time it's really on its way.you might get lucky like a couple guys on this thread and it might get to you in record time as one guy stated.I'm going to say this, I'll only be making small orders till this thing gets worked out.if it takes my package a month and a half I'll wait....I won't be happy but I'll wait.use to take about a month for deliveries back in the day from China anyways so that don't bother me.what does bother me is I know, others know too that fasttech is lying to us about all this.something is going on and we're out the loop.anyways that's why I made this thread so everyone can update on fasttech deliveries times so we don't have to bug fasttech with same old questions.

All the problems have been caused by a security blitz and now as a result customs on the chinese end are now being way too fussy and sometimes returning packages as security risks. Although when this happens the package just gets reposted quite quickly. One of mine said return and when I contacted FT they sorted it within 24 hours and it now is in transit again...I just hope it doesn't get rejected again :)

Yea it was only about two years ago when it took about a month.

I mean with the Uk eg posted from England to Scotland. Everything was ''allow 28 days for delivery''. It didn't always take that long but it was the default wait period. Now we freak if it doesn't arrive in 3 days.

Yea @anniepan has been giving everyone that story and the guy I talked to about 3 weeks ago when I package was a month and a half late and he had the same story too.one guy posted something on here from somebody in China that gives and alternative story line about how basically the Chinese government is making it hard on anything going out of China to the west because of "trade wars" I'd hope that isn't the case because I'd it is messing with us isn't going to change anyone's mind in our government haha.like they'd pay attention to us crying about how long our vape stuff is taking haha yea right!just my personal opinion, I be live the truth is somewhere in the middle.might be two or three things but I'm not buying the whole "it's security checks" story. that would have been sorted out by now.it's been a little over 2 months since this all started.first it was 1 or 2 people here and there about how it's .........who knows.anyways thanks for your comment and please keep me updated on your package bro.

So true, always some crybaby post on the fasttech forum about "it's been 3 days and my package hasn't left china....I WANT A REFUND!!!!! Then the fasttech trolls kick in and the guy forgets he even has a package.....trolls win again haha

I would ignore that posting about the conspiracy theory....it's BS :) I'm in France so they wouldn't be doing it to us would they?? Think about it....

I'll report back when I get it but just to update anyway I have 6 packages coming....One arrived after 12 days. 2 more are in France and the other 3 are about to leave....so i'm hoping we're back to normal...i'll certainly be giving it a thorough test with this little lot.

I hope this helps :)

Has anybody ordered from 3F?
Wonder if they are having the same issue.
3f which ships Germany and china, 2fvape deals, gearbest (which ships out of Germany and china), aliexpress among others all having shipping problems out of China.now if you order "ships from German warehouse" from one of those German stores then I'd say you're fine.I need to ask around and find out more on this, don't want to tell you a lie.i haven't heard anything about Germany having problems like this but I'll find out for ya.

Not 3F recently but sourcemore last week.....package is supposed to be on French soil today....so no hitches.....I had to pay shipping costs of 5 euros for an e packet though so it may be a slightly different postal service than the free FT.

    No updates beyond the following on the reshipped order through Singapore Post registered airmail since the 24th:
    "Despatched to overseas (Country code: US)"

    At the same time I placed my orders with Fasttech I bought two small items on ebay that shipped from China and both have arrived over the past week and a half in advance of given ETA. One was a 7pc set of tiny allen wrenches and the other was for a set of tiny screw drivers with blue plastic handles that everyone here but me apparently have already.

    I placed an order two days ago for a Smoant Battlestar Mini from Efun.top to be sent by ePacket. Same item as in my other order from Fasttech that was delivered in expected time through United States ePacket.
