Just received another parcel from FT (Frankie Clone $19.22 on package) all ok with Singapore Post

may I ask when it was shipped please as still waiting on mine via same post

3/01/17 according to FT, but i thought it was around the 28th Dec. I have had quite a few parcels delivered  quickly since the beginning of January, and i was starting to wonder this  had  got to.

Just wanted to say cheers to Get Off My Cloud for fighting Our corner on FT 'gainst the predictable U.S. Nazi-ism Nationalism.
I asked FT to split My last order...everything was good to go 'cept for the Pico Squeeze. 1st package arrived today...No Vat or P.O.at
Thing is, IF the Squeeze does get Govt. & P.O. charges....I'll prob. tell 'em not to effect delivery, just to see what happens:- it'd be £11.00 charges against approx. £12.00 of Mod, so I'd be out about the same £......
(plus I've now got the Coppervape from today's delivery!...)

My pair of parcels arrived from fasttech, no charge although both did state $20 and gift for 'electrical componants'

[sydsut]

My parcel arrived today with $20.00 value and "Electronic Gadget Replacement Electronic Parts (MADE IN CHINA)" on the Description and no extra charges.

Me the same parcel of coils as these two got

Edit: Forgot to mention value was about £35 and didnt raise ticket etc because this was ordered before this thread was made:)

You are unlikely to have any charges as the contents are under £15 value.

@yinyang
Yeah, true enuff, tho' FT still put $20 value on the package. Yes, it's here!! Sans Tax & charges.

I got an Inbox from GearBest last week, no problem, added to the Fastech thread, as well. I think it's just the luck of the draw. Sorry you got hit Get Off My Cloud



Must admit, though, the cost of shinyitus has risen for me since Brexit, and I think it will get worse... but, look on the bright side, Trump may screw up the US economy so badly it will all balance out.

Mine arrived.

It said £194,000 "Gift - Weapons of Mass Cloud-struction"

No VAT at all. Just a phone call from MI5.

I guess so. I could've bought the real Russian or American versions of the WMCs but where's the sense in that?

The Chinese copy things so well and it did say 1:1 after all.

Shame about the instructions.
