12 Day Fasttech Shipping

So I just placed an order for some vape gear on Gear Beast. Been eye balling their site for a few weeks now.... kinda seems like the new fasttech in a way. I've ordered from fasttech many times. Their shipping was actually quite fast when they first started selling vape gear, but that went down hill quick as they got more popular.

So I'm wondering what kinda time line I'm looking at for a west coast USD delivery of my purchase. I figured you guys could help me out as I'm assuming a few people seeing this post will have ordered from them before.  

I've had it with Fasttech.
I order $13 complete with shipping and 2 days latter they claim a shipping upgrade changed it to $16 because they made a mistake plus some items not in stock.
So I cancel the order, receive store credit and order again. Then 2 days later one item not is stock is holding up the order again while every other item is ready to ship.
So I cancel the $1.55 not in stock item and a few days later the order is $16 again and another item is out of stock. This is over a month just trying to get the order straight and waiting for replies.
I told them to keep the $1.55 they didn't give me credit for and ship it whatever way they want.
No more!  

Please help... I was wondering if anyone knows of a website that is still shipping to NYC?? I definitely wasn't as prepared as I should've been for what is going on here. I guess if things get desperate I will have to order stuff from China. When I started vaping I used to get juice from fasttech.. I really do not want to do that.

As far as the DIY thing goes I would have to figure out how to get all the stuff I need. I really don't want to quit or start making my own juice considering the time you have to steep... it probably takes a lot of time to have a good result.

Please advise... what would you do if you were me?  

Looks like you have to pay then they charge shipping when it ships without you knowing what it'll be.

Is shipping reasonable? I mean, if I order a pack of 100 small screws for $10 will they hit me with a $10 shipping charge?  

Anyone try ordering from Fasttech since the shipping ban? I mean they always labeled their packages as "Electronic parts" or "screws" and innocuous things like that. So I was wondering if they could still get stuff through or if customs was x-raying and confiscating that stuff.  

Why is the iStick Rim sold at Fasttech different from all of the reviews I've seen? It uses a removable 18650 battery and the USB port is in a different position. Here is the link $51.18 Authentic Eleaf iStick Rim C 80W VW APV Box Mod + MELO 5 Tank Kit - 4ml (28*21.4mm (OD*ID)) / 0.6/0.15ohm / 1-80W / 1*18650 / 28mm diameter at FastTech - Free Shipping  

When ordering on eBay make sure to find out where your item ships from. Some venders lead you to believe items are in stock when in fact they order from china.Be sure to read fine print .I've been waiting all most a month for a god mod 180s from a vendor who did just that. Live and learn.I could have done better at Fasttech.  

Just wondering is there any difference in how fast you get items from fast tech vs sourcemore.
Sourcemore has slightly better price but I think they charge for shipping... fast tech is a bit more but free shipping (and they have one other small item I need)  

I order from vape sourcing 2 days ago from USA warehouse and payed for express shipping, it’s been a full 2 days now, I emailed yesterday no response, but what I want to know is when my order will be done “processing” and if anybody who has bought from here before tell me there experience? I have read all the reviews but a lot of those reviews were from the Hong Kong warehouse so i think there could be a difference yk, shipping was 3-5 days no buggy perfect for me, but it’s been 2 days and my order is still processing . My order number is #100466496. @Verashu  

I have not personally verified this information. But, I heard that these shipping networks are now shipping Eliquids to once banned states.

Can anyone verify?
