Please, I really don't know!
This shopping from China malarkey...
It's mainly just the cost for most folk right? I'm just trying to figure out why anyone would put themselves through weeks of torture, not knowing when it will end. or when it will begin even.
"in transit" "tracking number unknown". I'm not enjoying this.

Three or four weeks spending every waking hour on the tracking page hitting refresh. What's not to like ? You get to grow a beard, your nails, personal hygiene gos out the window mind you. Where's your commitment ? Come on suck it up you can do this !!

I only ventured over there because they had stock!. Seriously though I placed my 1st order (FT) on th 10th which then strangely went 'out of stock' hence delay no 1. I'd always buy from within the UK if I had the option.

beeper I get almost all of my gear from China, mainly due to not having to pay the extortionate shipping fees from everywhere else in the world just to get my stuff over to the island. I am soooooo used to waiting weeks for just about all of my vape gear so I have learnt to be extremely patient these days ![snickering_smiley](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/yH_x2wFGwZ96INQJhbhJ.gif) Your stuff will eventually arrive, you just have to be ummmm a little, ummmm no a lot more patient ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/30yfTjP3QPippj7hX3wK.gif)

I consider myself patient! (godammit). ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) For over five years I've always exclusively bought from UK based vendors. This is new and it's just the bit (well, all the bits) that are out-of-my-control which I don't care for.

It always hurts the first time My first time seemed to drag on for ages, n ages... the worst thing you can do is build up a huge shopping cart and buy lots of stuff together as invariably the stock counting faries have been mauled by rats before they could update the database and all it takes is for one item to be discovered out of stock to delay the whole delivery for a week?,month? or more?

I need to have a little chat with mine, he let slip that there is a lady in the village who gets more Chinese packages than me ![icon_faint](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/0atIaW6TvwIf0HP3enuk.gif) I'll have to find out if she's a vaper

I rather enjoy the wait time beeper. ![snickering_smiley](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/yH_x2wFGwZ96INQJhbhJ.gif) Having an overseas parcel to look forward to is one of my little pleasures . . . . .

The secret is to place a separate order for each item and place a new order every day ... That way you have a conveyor belt operation whereby you receive a delivery every day ![*cheer*](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/jr0EmJgDeO7__MAi4uuR.gif)

Put a couple of orders in to FT just over three weeks ago, the first was less than $15 so no tracking, it arrived last week, the other was a bigger order and I paid for an e packet, it's been floating around in the ether for more than two weeks, it might turn up. Dave
