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.
I was going to order some stuff from fasttech and saw this on the website.
"Service alert: the ongoing coronavirus spread is placing China under defecto lockdown.
Local labor policy currently prevents staffs from returning to work as scheduled.
Customer service is available with limited capacity at this time as we work from home.
Shipping is now expected to resume normal service on February 10, 2020. More details to follow"
Is anyone worried about ordering from China?
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?
I'm thinking of ordering from Fasttech, I know alot of you have said you do and with 100 premade claptons for just a couple buck I see why. My question to you all is how long do you generally wait to recieve orders? 2-3 weeks or so?
Has anyone ever had less than 12 day shipping from Fasttech? I hope that it may take less time as I ordered a couple rda clones so the packaging should be small and should travel fast. They offer DHL shipping but it's $36. My entire order wasn't that much. I guess 12 days will have to do. I hate waiting.
I was sort of counting on them for odds and ends once the FDA rules kick in in May, or if there are laws passed between now and then.... but it looks like they will be shut down:
China Effectively Bans Online Sales of E-Cigarettes
China Bans Online Sales of E-Cigarettes
I have several fasttech and several vaporl orders that have not shipped yet too.
EDIT: Although the article does say "“There is no law and regulation in China that forbids the online sale of e-cigarette yet,” said Ou Junbiao, head of the Electronic Cigarette Industry Committee of China. "
EDIT #2: vaporl does have a US warehouse too though, although oddly enough the shipping is cheaper from Hong Kong.
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.
Has/is anyone having a problem getting any delivery from fasttech? I have two separate orders,one setting at "label created but not yet in system" for two months as of today. Second order setting for same length of time at "origin post is prepping package for shipment".
Has the USPS already stopped accepting ecig deliveries for shipping,even though the items were order months prior? It's nothing really expensive(which is good) but still I can't get any answers.
Thanks for any help or replies.
So I've seen some of the posts about Fasttech being overwhelmingly slow. Placed 2 seperate orders from 3F and was shocked to see that they both arrived at LAX and cleared customs in 2 days. Problem is that now they are stuck in Compton, CA and have not moved . One package there for five days and the other for only a day.
17Track shows last three events as "Received ", "Encoded" and finally "DN Send". USPS tracking shows "Label created awaiting package".
Anybody know what this means and when I should expect some movement again and the hand off to USPS.
Kind of frustrating knowing my goodies are an 8 hour drive away and just sitting in a pile somewhere lol! VAPETEASE!
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.
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.
