Expect Delays, Fasttech, Focal etc

[Q]

Mine is the other way round ronaldo my focalecig stuff is very prompt but FT isn't, having said that neither of them are what I would consider bad, it is coming from China after all

[ronaldo]

I think it must be to do with timing as I said all of mine have been recent and I think fasttech might have pushed them out the door to clean up before there holiday season now next month could be back to normal waiting forever but I have only been buying from china for 4 or 5 weeks so to small a time period

The same with me, Focal have always been quicker.

I'm happy enough waiting when the reward is I pay half price. But the post is pathetically slow. China's a long way away, phooey. It's airmail - a flight from China takes 12 or 15 hours longer than a flight from Switzerland, not two weeks longer. I've had two orders from the US which were just as bad.

I find if I pay for faster delivery it takes 2 weeks and 3-4weeks if I don't now I'm just waiting on my kraken to come

The biggest exporters in the world? China. The second biggest? USA.

It doesn't help that when they get to the UK, Royal Mail seem to sit on them. I ordered several items over the last 2 weeks, and 4 arrived in the UK and were collected by RM 4 days ago, yet nary a sign of them.
