Malaysia post and Singapore post delivery times

[Dunny]

I've got 2 packages coming from Fasttech the 1st one is through Singpost was supposedly shipped on 21st March from Fasttech and according to the tracking it was shipped to London on the 27th March but is yet to arrive and the tracking hasn't changed since.
2nd package is a similar story shipped from Fasttech on 19th March and according to the Tracking was shipped to London on 30th March but is yet to arrive and once again the tracking hasn't updated anymore.
Are these sort of shipping times normal? Just seems a bit strange to spend so long getting to the UK. I've had 4 other packages that I shipped through Swisspost and they all arrived at my door bang on 14 days after Fasttech said they were shipped.
What kind of shipping times have you guys experenced using these carriers? and what carrier would people recommend currently?

Once the status goes to "Shipped to destination country" or such, it normally takes 10 - 14 days to reach you.

i have various packages coming from FT via the same couriers and around 3 weeks is the norm as for the tracking i have given up using it to track as i feel it only works in the country of origin.
as it always says dispatched to overseas but it doesn't say via which route
and lets not forget these packages are coming from the other side of the planet so are probably going to stop over in various countries before royal fail gets there grubby mits on then.

Don't rely on the tracking being accurate Dunny . . . my Malaysia post took 2 weeks from dispatch, Singapore is normally more like 4 weeks for me.

If you're buying batteries ( non Ego types ) then Malaysia post is the only option.

Ah well looks like I have a little while to wait yet. I think I'll ship all future packages through swisspost unless I'm ordering batteries.
Thanks for the info guys

My order from fasttec only took 2 weeks with Malaysia post.....one order last year took 11 weeks

Anyone know the link to that external tracking site? My last two packages (EVER!) from FT are on their way and I've seen this tracking site mentioned somewhere that's more reliable than FT's offerings, but can't remember what site it was.

Mine was tracked as shipped (from their end) 15 days ago. (Singapore)

I'll look forward to getting it sometime during May June.

my current ft one was dispatched to overseas 20-3-14, this morning has been changed to received at heathrow 7-4-14, so hopefully no delay through customs and it'll be here later this week

Mine is exactly the same GunJack.  The order I received last week showed as received at heathrow on the same day it was delivered, so I'm hoping today or tomorrow.  Only empty bottles in this one, but means I'll be able to get my mix on again this weekend

I placed an order for a vamo V5 on 14th March, I received it on 5th April so thats 22 days, not bad at all. Just checked the tracking and it states "Arrived at overseas (Country code: GB)" So tracking actually worked ....... This time. I'll now mark it as received.

The only reason I tried Different carriers was to see which one was the quickest. Swisspost was bang on 14 days from when Fasttech said they were shipped to my door for all 4 orders that came through them. I dont think I'll be using either singpost or malaysia post again unless I need to batteries then I'll have no choice

[richvapers]

My last order from fasttech was shipped on 1st march and was with me 4th april thats 34 days.
i now have two more orders shipped, on 21st march singapore post and 26th march swiss post.
Would be interesting to see which one arrives first?
Swiss post may be the way to go, had to pay a it more ontop but it was like 70p
