Ordering from China (actually anywhere) Support Group...

- Start date
They did not send me an eMail indicating it shipped I found it in my account on the order. Like I said it showed as ships in 5 days which usually indicates it isn't in stock but apparently it was or they got it from uWell that same day.
Now since USPS has it I can only bitch and moan about them~! Ha Hah 
What is really messing with my head is the fact I have always said shit like fuck waiting for something from Fast Tech or China in general and here my tanks are already shipped.

I actually didn't have a choice I did it so fast I did not look for a guest account or to see if I could checkout as a guest.
If you check the order email you go to the order page on the FT website which has a lot of info.
I was talking about Fast Tech so I guess you were saying 3Avape is 3 months?

My gavelock was delivered yesterday. Otherwise known as bottles and a Reload S clone for it's blue cap. Sent by our illustrious FT. Ordered on the 2nd - 12 days - not bad.

got an email... delay to produce ? far as I know, these were discontinued a few years ago. so, who knows when, or even if, I will get them. 3 months may be optimistic
Hi, my friend,
Thanks for your message, hope this email can help you.
As for Order # 100000000, Item: Snowwolf 218W TC Box Mod-black and gunmetal *1 Pcs each (2 pcs total).
color black and gunmetal was delay to produce by the manufacturer. Have to wait more 4-7 days get new batch.
How about switch them to: Silver/Red ?
So that shipment will be arranged on within 48 hours.
Look forward to hear from you.
Many thanks for your help in advance.
Kind regards,
3avape Team

That could just be lack of scanning. I had a package coming from a well know vendor in California who they never scanned until it hit my local Post Office.
Steve. I think ordering from China is a scrap shoot the minute the "purchase" button is clicked. some go real well, so don't go at all.
Trust me buddy I know that very well but the only time I ever was waiting for my delivery was when it came into JFK and went to Chicago and was 2-3 weeks of a wait because of Customs in the ISC there. I have posted a Meme about Fast Tech a bunch of times. But with my package being in USPS Possession should start tracking soon.
So far I've ordered from China a few times, mostly FT, some GB. Some wait's have been longer than others (CNY, ugh), but ultimately I've gotten everything I've ordered in proper condition. Just placed an order yesterday for some wire spool tamers from FT. Sure I could've paid $5-7+ for 3 of the beadalon ones but at the end of the day I'm not trying to pay a premium for a plastic piece with a hole and some fricken $1 a yd elastic. They say the UD spool tamers are too small for most bigger spools over 30ft but hey, I'll just get more elastic and make them longer. lol. $2.20 for like 5 is a much better deal imo and I don't mind waiting.
No updates in 10 days? That sounds like it is in a container on a ship.
Paddle boat? Normally takes around 5 days for me, but know there seems to be a slow down on people getting packages from China lately, due to some new restrictions or something.
So after it just sat as Preparing to be dispatched it has made it to New York. Scheduled for Wednesday so lets see. I have had strange shit happen depending on which Distribution Center it goes through.

I've resigned myself to the fact that USPS tracking simply cannot be relied upon. It's just that simple. You have about a 3 day window once something gets near you. It MIGHT come when it says, but don't count on it.
I recently bought a Paranormal 250C from a guy way upstate from you and it took 14 days on the nose to travel like 700 miles and sat in one place for 8 of them. At least according to the tracker.
I have enough experience to know when there is a problem like I knew days ago. Actually a week then USPS sent my shit to fucking Connecticut. My Local guys are great but the International people are fucking retarded. Will this get censored? Truth usually does right?
You may be right, but I think they are just spectacularly incompetent and couldn't care less about doing their job well.
Well I agree but the Customer Service Agent I had on the phone a few minutes ago who opened a case seemed to actually care about what I had to say. When I mentioned that I have had packages disappear from Brooklyn or sit for days until I opened a case or called my local PO and spoke to the manager. So she said along with my package that issue is going to be investigated~! I was sort of taken back by that. I will either get my package tomorrow or I will hear back in 48-72 hours. She did say most times you will get your delivery before you get the call about the case. Which I can attest to because any time I open a case it magically appears the next day.
remember those 2 Sigelei Snow Wolf 218W TC MODs I ordered, what 1 month+ ago. not only have they not shipped.
3A does not even have them. they say that sigelei has not even made them yet !
I am going to let em ride. even though I think I am being strung along.
Hi, my friend,
Sorry to let you waiting for a long time.
Because snowwolf manufacturer told us that they are busy producing the new stuff.
And will delay our snowwolf 218 mod to 15th July.
We advise you wait more 10-15 days, or cancel order.
Really sorry for the trouble caused.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,

Totally different from my situation here because Fast Tech Shipped the next day and USPS showed it had shipped to then days later change that to acceptance~! It arrived in the US 7 days later and after the ISC or Customs was sent to 2 other states before it sat in Brooklyn. Today I opened a case and guess what I just saw on the USPS Tracking? Departed Brooklyn about an hour later~! I should have called last week. Fuckers~!
I had a couple complications with 3A, but they always made me happy.
To be fair, the personnel at the post office itself here have always been helpful and I'm not meaning to say that there are no USPS employees who do a good job. What I mean is that when there is a problem. most times it looks like somebody just didn't care.
If it goes to Brooklyn with me there is always a problem and now since it is documented. Next time, 24 Hours after it gets to Brooklyn if it isn't moving I am calling and referencing the Case Number from today~!
as long as they do, I'm good. I do hope I get these, I kind of like them.
Yes Fast Tech shipped faster than it initially said and left China in the original 5 days. The delays are all on USPS. Just look at the Tracking Screen Shots. Was supposed to be here last Wednesday.
Finally Delivered by 11AM today and I received a phone call from the Local Post Office informing me it was Out For Delivery and while leaving the message she said Oh I see it was delivered at 10:59~! With USPS you have to make a complaint is you asses in gear I guess.
Oh the woes of ordering from overseas. Got my Aegis Solo from 3avape in about 20 days. It was DOA. Will not read any atty I put on. Contacted 3avape and they wanted video of switching an atty from one mod to the Solo to show it didn't work as well as pics of the serial number and hologram. They replied back that they got everything and to contact them in 3-5 days. Did this and a few days later they said contact them again in 4-7 days because Aegis isn't responding to them. I have a feeling I'm going to be out some money on this one.

That's bad. Bad enough to mark them off the list.
They see the proof they asked for,,, and now they don't want to stand behind their product or provide customer service?
Wait 3-5 days for what...they are not on GeekVape's supported vendor list, so waiting for GV to repond to them doesn't make sense.
They would be getting email from me every day.
Yeah, I made a Fast Tech order not too long ago and was shipped in a few days but after they shipped it the fun started.
Oh how well I know. I'm just saying from the Chinese end, epacket made a humongous difference.
Both my packages were air shipped. One has been scanned into the terminal at JFK and the other one ordered a couple days later is on a plane right now from Hong Kong.
That definitely beats a week or ten days sitting in Shenzen, and 3-6 days on the boat before showing up anywhere over here.
See THIS and THIS
I made a small order from fasttech, I paid with pp. as it turned out, their system billed me through pp AND through their payment system. I thought It to be just a glitch. but no, I got 2 orders of the same stuff, most of which I didn't really need.
now they want me to mail it back and they will pay for shipping, so they say. god only knows what shipping to China will be.
so I think I am going to make them an offer to just keep the stuff.

Wow, that's weird. You'd think an outfit that big would have stuff like that worked out.
