Fasttech Shipping Time To South Africa

Hi

How do i know if something was send by sea?
I have some battery's in my order and this is what i get from tracking it:

2014-08-21 00:00, ZA, The item ( RC441266613HK ) left Hong Kong for its destination on 27-Aug-2014

Are batteries send by sea ?
 
They will let you know by email if another shipping method was/will be used.

You could open up a ticket and ask them.

Afaik batteries ase sent via surface mail so yes, it is probably on a boat somewhere.
 
btw. i had an order for Sony VTC5, that i selected Philippines Post for because it was available for batteries,...then, soon after, they notified me that they had changed it to surface mail and changed the web page code to exclude Ph.Post as an option for orders with batteries. Then, a few days ago, i got an email notification of them having opened a support center ticket, saying that Ph.Post is giving trouble and they are removing it as an option, and that they are doing a refund....and if i still want the items, place another order. And if it was a paypal payment, it would take a day or two for the refund to come through. (Which it did.)
*Very good system.*
Kimbo, so you can easily ask them - send msg via the website....no point in opening a support ticket, you just want to find out whether the problem is that side or here at SAPO.

Yes its most probably already in SA. If USPS states its in transit, it means your parcel has left USA.

Great thanks. So you reckon it's safe to order from fasttech again, will they have the backlog cleared by the time the fasttech stuff arrrives? I'm dying for some new gear and their prices are awesome, but I really don't want to have to wait 3 months for it.

A lot of members order regularly from FastTech, so I deem its safe - regarding backlog and SAPO, I can't say unfortunately.
 
I have ordered a couple of times from FT and have always received my items. Sometimes after 2 weeks and other times after 2 months. For the amount of money saved I don't mind waiting a bit. (but I also make a point to support the local industry too)
 
Yip there is no doubt that you order from Fasttetch you need to just forget about it... then one day a note arrives in your post box and happiness ensues.
 
Hi all. I see this topic is quite old, is the slow/unreliable shipping still an issue?
 
Will be the same as dx.com. Anything from 1 month to (my personal record) a whopping 10 months.

I currently only buy local. Just wanted to know what other avenues exist for me as a consumer. I saw LG HG2s for $23 dollars for a 4 pack on Fasttech. Thats about R100 a battery. Its double that price here. Rx200s is $43 which is about R688. Here it's R1050. Thats massive profit margins...
 
With fasttech and others you always risk getting fakes. There is not a chance in hell i will order batteries from fast tech or any other suspect source.

Not to mention battery shipping from FT takes around 4-6 months.
