Yeah, FT is where I ordered. Wish I could go pick it up, made 5 trips to Hong Kong in the 70's. 2 weeks of heaven for a sailor ! lol
Thats been my experience also...
A few FT ordering rules and you will be less frustrated. 1) Never order anything unless it is in stock. 2) Always use the USPS an ePacket options. 3) Never order batteries or anything including batteries. Following these, I'm getting orders in 7-10 days to Los Angeles (barring Chinese holidays) a final destination which might be a positive. It looks like all orders to the US enter via San Francisco. So factor domestic USPS travel time from there. The SF leg to me is 2 days.

Oh thanks so much.
I can be slow so please spell out what you want from me?
Disregard please. Sorry, thought your location wasn't on your profile, but that was the person who started the thread. Brain tired.

When I was young, always said I want to go out with Buda in one hand, a San MIgel in the other , receiving a good " Air-Start" !!
Ordered from fastech 3 times first 2 took about a month each the last has been 6+ months and still has not arrived. They tell me I have to call the post office and have them find it but the tracking shows it hasn't made it to the states yet....like their prices hate their service. But good service seems to be rare these days from any company whether here in the states or over seas.(sigh)
Usually takes 2 weeks to Canada but they just finished up a week long National holiday in which almost everything shuts down.

I've ordered from 5 of your vendors, all state-side. just wanted some spare parts, FT had them cheap, and I'm in no hurry.
I have swore off ordering from fasttech. Not only does it take ages to receive the item, its a crap shoot whether you get a mod with painted threads or an atty with crooked posts. Only China I order from is focalecig, always get it within 2 weeks, awesome customer service, and they have some USA stock items.
Yeah they have a seperate part of the website for US stock and most of the time the item will say something like (ships from USA) in the title
I placed 3 orders from Bangood (China) on the 17th of Sept. Two of the orders arrived in a week (standard shipping/multiple items), the 3rd was sent Registered Air thru Swedish Post (laser scope had button batteries) and the AirPost still hasn't arrived, although it left Sweden on the 23rd. I'm sure it's been sitting at US customs, with all of the other international gun smuggling packages. :-(
