Fasttech again, HELP PLEASSSSEEEEE!

[Petrus]

My first and last order from our Chinese friends . What is happening now?

Looks like its in the mail centre today. Never ordered from fast tech but have from ebay and JIMC is the mail centre. "Should" be out to you soonish.

*edit* never mind I'm an idiot, didn't read the date on the detention notice. Probably want to charge you tax on it. Phone them.

"From Customs" is recorded after "Detention Notice", "from Customs" usually means it's on it's way out of Customs and in to the post office system.

@Petrus...i had this on my last order and mailed them...the detention notice is an incorrect scan...7:07 it was released from customs so no issues

Is this a record ? My Fasttech parcel arrived in JHB on 27 October. Received it in Cape Town yesterday. A cyclist could have delivered it faster.

In my experience Fasttech are faster than SAPO. Perhaps that's like comparing a tortoise with a snail.

Does SAPO still exist? I haven't received a piece of mail from them in at least 6 years.

 

[Strontium]

Jeez their prices are great.

Good Morning Guys.
So yesterday I got hold of EMS and got a local tracking number. This is the current status.

Hi everyone. Here is a little tracking app that may help. I find it useful, but you will have to test it for yourselves. Play around with it as it has some hidden features. There is one for Apple as well.

Regards

Yeah, it is possibly going to take a bit of time as customs is backed up.
Especially around xmas time things slow down quite a bit.

I am also waiting for a few parcels which are "From Customs" for quite a while now. Grrr.
The worst part is I cannot even collect from JIMC counters anymore to speed up the process.

Yip, it's surprising how fast the goods get to SA. I've seen the next day on a few orders but then customs and our post office surprise me even more by how long they could take and how many times they could send a parcel to a post office 5min away from me "incorrectly" and then send it back to the central mail room and back and forth and back...

I had 1 parcel be misdirected for 6 weeks and collected another 4 before it that I order up to a month later.
