Efffin Fast tech

Chill guys...my 'china guy' says china on holiday till the 10th.......presume this means airports as well.... I'm not ordering till then

Stay calm and vape on

My last 3 recent orders took 3 weeks after the dispatched to overseas scan at HK then just turned up at my door with no arrived at overseas scan. This suggests to me that maybe a lot of stuff is just kicking about at LHR doing nothing until somebody can be arsed sending it on its way.

[spanky]

February to early March is the worst time to order anything from China - what with New Year and the Lantern Festival - the whole country grinds to a halt and takes several weeks to get back to normal...

[jevans]

Is it really fair to blame Fast Tech for the vagaries of the Chinese mail system?
That's like blaming a UK firm for Snail Mail!

It's not all bad. I ordered an aerotank and some other bits on the 12th Feb and expected the usual wait. They turned up on the 27th Feb. Now where's my other 3 orders?!?!

/goes to check mail box

My Cloupor mini dispatched 27th Feb by Malaysia Post (not my choice and I kicked off about it) has arrived at LHR. If Royal mail get their arses into gear it could be one of my fastest yet.

Your Cloupor is with HMRC zebby. Royal Mail don't just march in there and pick them up. There are tens of thousands of items delivered by air to one customs processing centre on a daily basis. 10% are checked in normal circumstances, more if there is an alert in place.
For the OP emailing Fasttech - what's the point? Do you think they have a GPS tracker in your gear? Of course that's the answer you will get, the same as if you contacted RM when a first class hasn't arrived in a couple of days.

 Yes I know they dont, AFIK Its Parcel Force that do most of the work on incoming parcels for HMRC and once it has been scanned this means it has been passed by them to RM for local delivery.
Edit to say: I have seen it in the past where a parcel goes dark and RM says that Parcel force have not passed the parcel on to them and Parcel Force saying oh yes they have and then it turns up delivered with no explanation from either.

Update: Postie just delivered it. So that has to be my fastest ever 7/8 days and with Malaysia Post who nobody seems to have a good word for on the FT forums.

[Dave]

And so it continues........just invested another 90 quid in gear that I don't need and won't see until October

Alcohol and Fast Tech really don't mix too well

[Dave]

Panic over

Delivery came today

Now "love them long time again"

Cheers Dave

Just seen that they have reduced the rebate points from .2 to .15 for reviews of stuff you have bought from them and if you have bought the item and reviewed it before at any time, then you get nothing. I think if an item is in stock elsewhere at a similar price that I am wanting then there is no point in me staying loyal to FT, especially when it seems that just about everything worth having nowadays is "ships in X number of days" which may or may not happen. Meaning that FT dont have it, they will order it when you order it from them.

Just for the record:
my latest order arrived on the 6th day after shipping after opting to pay an extra $2.89 for ePacket via China Post.

[Q]

I dont like this 'e-packet' idea, it takes all the fun out of pay & forget
