FT stock

[ghostrider1971]

Hi guys,

I'm after a couple more Pico squeeze mods from FT - USD 17 rather than 30 quid on Amazon....

It says "5 days to ship" - is that a FT euphemism for out of stock and you might wait forever for them.....?

Sometimes - if i'm not that fussed by colour - i try changing the option - sometimes that is then ready to ship immediately

My experience is if they say 5days they will ship your goodies within 5days

Or if you buy more then one item and one of them is in stock in 5days pay for that one separately in that case the rest of your order can be shipped earlier

I find them usually pretty accurate; may have been lucky.

Ive had things ship before the stated days are up.

Same here for me.

I have had a few things get to the eta day...then it delays...and delays lol. But its only been a rare occurance. Ive learnt to only buy things thats ready to ship as im not the most patient bloke your ever meet.

On the whole I've found them pretty good as most of the "ships in 1/2/3/etc. days are completed in time. What to watch out for is the PRE-SALE items stating umpteen days as FT can have problems with the manufacturers shipping deadlines meeting unexpected problems as these items are often not even in production yet, designs and tooling not completed etc. I tend to steer clear of them.

I did two FT orders over the weekend with the discount code, splitting them into ' in stock ' and ' ETA ' items ghostrider1971 . . . . . the first order has shipped already and from the second, 3 out of 4 items are ready to ship today! All had an expected delivery in 11 days time.

Same here really Gill, it's the best way to be ordering from China . . . . although I will admit to using the epacket/express shipping option more now from FT. For a dollar or so it's significantly reduced the shipping time for me.

I ordered two atties (an Ammit Dual and a Reloaded clone) about three weeks ago. The Reloaded was in stock and the Ammit had an ETA of 5 days. The day before the Ammit was due to arrive with them, they split the order, and the Ammit then arrived on schedule and was shipped the same day. With the ePacket option, both arrived while I was on holiday and that must have taken somewhere in the region of 9 days from despatch to arrival chez moi. Not too shabby!

Gotta admit, I'm normally one to stay away from ordering stuff not ready for immediate or next day dispatch. However, at the start of this year, I did order something that was marked at 3 days (I think, if I recall correctly). It took the stated time before they posted.

That said, there are a few items I've watched longish term and they seem to continually swing between 3 to 7 days ... but never seem to get to the stage of being in "immediate delivery".

I'm guessing it may depend upon the particular items you are watching and who supplies those items to FT.

Ugggghhhhh

Just checked my FT account - been moved back to "ETA 11 days from today"

Should I cancel it?

Check to see if theres another colour that you like that IS ready to ship

[ghostrider1971]

thebishman - Good idea - and I did check

Sadly, all the same date

Maybe I should cancel and pay the extra for the HT Cig Inbox thingy?
