Probable extra shipping delays HK post

[robby]

Looks like a probable extra long wait for Chinese Post, whether it affects orders already shipped with an "RT" prefix remains to be seen.

Now I am getting paranoid.....trade control by the back door perhaps?

I'm done with ordering from China. My last FastTech order just went over their '30 working days' and I've no joy from FocalECig.

Seems to be affecting orders already dispatched my order shipped 22nd Oct still not recognised on hong post order tracking starts with RT. They said 10 days delay 10 days ago

My focalecig group buy mini pro tank shipping china post 23rd left china 26th

Unless it is something that I am absolutely in no hurry for (spare heads etc), I wouldn't be bothered ordering from China. If it's low value, it comes when it comes or maybe not at all so no biggie. Anything else ... UK or EU.

Hmmmmmmm, just wondering. seeing as how the Chinese now have a nuclear fleet of subs, wonder if the Ecig industry should contact their admiralty and sneak the goodies past HK customs

I'm in the same boat as babs (or not in the boat I guess) - I ordered on 16 October and it's never shown up on tracking, even using the tips on the forum to get it to track. I'm frustrated as it was my first order to China, and it will probably put me off ordering from there again.

Maybe it's my shinyitis cure! unlikely...

Yes i suppose what will be will be, i just do`nt understand why they keep changing from one to the other, my Chi-You came via Singapore in 14 days so if they work why change?

Its a long story but if you can be bothered to read it then here is the FT forum.

POSTED BY SOMEONE ON FB (not sure how true it is)

"a summary for those who don't want to endure it: it would seem that a woman called jasmine (aka asslicker) is mixing business with pleasure and is being poked by the son of the person who owns the shipping company. the shipping company has made a total bollocks with the packages returned by china post, resending packages which were returned due to restrictions. in the mean time a woman called geek decided to announce refunds but retracted that statement when she realised the **** up of the shippers. geek had a thing going on with a guy called bannedmod, but decided to act on her bi-curiosity with jasmine, bannedmod finds out and spills the beans about the whole fiasco on the forum"
