Strange so the last order from Fast Tech was being split in two while they waited for a replacement camera hood. So the two packages from that are now marked as shipped, new gear must have arrived this afternoon.
Wonder which one will arrive first ?

Once it leaves HK , it should say arrived in destination country or something to that effect. Just a matter of days now before it arrives.

Sometimes it can take longer in the UK than actually getting here. Sometimes the tracking doesn't update either. My guess it that you should get it by the weekend, not saying what weekend like

I've had both those things happen to ego type batteries (not from FT), the hot one was due to the negative connection not being soldered to the case properly and the smoking and sparking was a short on the pcb. I managed to repair both but it made me a bit wary of cheap batteries.

Don't buy these - www.fasttech.com/products/1353105I got them as cheap spares, but four out of the five are faulty. Two of them are just inert; two of them got very hot, and one of them smoked and sparked. Didn't want any of them in the house. so disposed of all of them at the tip. Bah. I've received 5 of these today and I don't seem to have any problems, all fire up OK and I've charged up the blue and white ones with no trouble and the only heat I can feel is from the base of my V3 but after reading the above I'm wondering if they are safe to use.

Dunno, Dave, but three of them went down on their second recharge. Just keep an eye on 'em. I think it would be a coincidence if I got the only duds. I am extremely dischuffed with mine. I raised a ticket with Fasttech, but since I got shot of the lot of them at the first sight of smoke, I cannot return them, so expect to just take the loss.

Getting bored of waiting now! My stuff left HK on the 14th and still isn't showing as in the UK yet. Today is 2 weeks since I ordered so i'm starting to get a bit bored of waiting now

You did well. I've just got an email from them. To paraphrase: "We test 100% of these items before they ship, but, hey, sometimes shit happens. Sorry about that."

Gah postman just been, no VAMO but my resistance wire turned up typically after i ordered a bit from another vendor as my 50m spool hadn't arrived and delivery was estimated mid july haha I am just hoping it's actually Parcelforce delivering my fasttech order as that means there might still be hope for it today haha.
