The whole point of fasttech is cheap gear that takes a good little while to get here and you have to be prepared to wait, if you want to get the stuff quickly then you're going to be paying a tidy sum for courier delivery and if you're going to pay that then you might just as well order the same thing from a uk vendor.

Anything you order can be cancelled and refunded right up to the time you receive an e mail telling you it has been shipped (same as amazon). So if something hasn't shipped in 3 to 5 days depending on weekends it basically means they haven't got any so cancel it - you don't have to cancel all the items in a package. The standard Singapore post option is as good as anything else, once I paid $1 extra for Swiss Air and it arrived a day earlier than a package via Singapore! 2 and a half to 4 weeks is an average time to wait. You will get a tracking number but it will be completely meaningless - all it will tell you is whether it has arrived at or left Singapore Airport yet
Yes it may appear cheap - I bought my MVP2 from them trouble was I got so fed up waiting for it I bought two other mods from the UK and by the time it arrived 38 days after ordering (ok I did order in the middle of the Chinese national holiday) the UK price had dropped by £10!

Just order $20 (or pay a dollar to upgrade your shipping) of non battery stuff that you don't need in a hurry then try to forget you ordered it, a few weeks later it will turn up and you will have some bargain stuff. If you need it in a certain timeframe pay more and buy locally. You can have it fast or cheap, your decision.

Yes you have to wait. Since they've switched to Singapore post I've had two different orders both taken about 3 weeks. I personally haven't had any problems with my orders being faulty. Mostly it's been ego twist batteries (presume they are clones) about £7 each and they've been excellent. Did order some toothbrush heads which were rubbish I admit. I've had ego twists from UK vendors that have broken with 4-5 weeks...so you pay you money and take your chances. My vamo that I ordered from them is now about 10 months old and still going strong.

I would never buy batteries from slowtech, I would only buy quality batteries to meet the devices demand sourced in the UK.
E liquid is up to you, I personally would not, especially seeing as you can source it cheap on home turf.
I have enough batteries and devices to keep me going and use fasttech for cheap back ups/treat myself to a new mod. That way the waiting game does not effect me.
It is still a very addictive site, I sometimes have to ban myself from it, I am 100% sure I am not the only one.
Oh and welcome :-)

Actually by batteries I mean like the 18650s etc. I would not buy batteries from there to go in a mod.
I do own a Ego style battery from them and have had no issues with it.

I have bought a vamo kit in the past and an svd, a nemesis clone and quite a few other bits I am currently waiting on a five orders or part orders that have been dispatched one royal mail are going to redeliver tomorrow but the rest just waiting and sometimes it can be a long wait up to a month sometimes longer. But if you are willing to wait and be patient there are some bargains to be had like the nemesis

I think you will find that shipping issues aside, there is nothing wrong with FT 18650s . They are genuine authentic quality batteries. Many experienced vapers on this forum have bought loads of batteries from Fasttech and they are the real deal, only at half the price
