Well I have ordered about 10 packages from them. I keep my orders less than $100. I only lost one package and that was on SA post office side but the contents was R100 only. Longest I have waited 7 weeks. On average 4 weeks. Last 3 packages 2 weeks.
Have not had issues with customs.

Thanks for the responses, I have some items I would like to order from FastTech, but have been nervous to place order. Now it seems many do with success.
Thank you
Thank you
Be careful - it becomes an addiction, and you can't live without a parcel from Fasttech every now and then!

I just love these sweet finds! Especially when there is a link I can click on and press the buy button!
i wonder if with some minor plastic surgery the breast can be enchanced to carry a juice bottle?
ordering from FT is all well and good, i havent had any issues getting my stuff.
yes they mark everything as a gift, but sometimes the hub will detain your package and ask for your invoice, upon which they discover that the value stated on the package from FT is substantially lower than what you actually paid.
they (the hub) then hit you with duties and vat- this depends how they classify the contents of the package.

Just got.an email saying.my item has shipped but I didn't pay for a tracking number? Don't remember seeing an option. Will I only know when it gets via post office notification?

Yip, you do get a tracking number. Usually goes via Singapore Post. Takes about a week for them to show that they have received the package. Thereafter they only show when it has arrived in SA. Then, if you input that number in the local track and trace, you can track it from arrival here.
If you purchase for less than a certain amount, I think it's about $10-12 then it gives you the option for free 'regular mail' or you can pay about $1 for registered mail.
Perhaps you chose regular mail?
It says regular mail takes about 30 business days as apose to 10-14 days with registered. I've always selected registered.

I only remember seeing the regular mail. Ah well, will see what happens.

Yes, I have also never had a shipping option. They automatically send SA stuff via Singapore post.
All 4 times that I've ordered it's given me this...
Or
Depending on the total of the order

And the registered option is definitely Singapore post
And your orders were all in the region of the amounts you mentioned above? If so, maybe that is the reason.
One was just a RDA for less than $10, it was the only one that gave me the option, like the 1st image above, where I had to choose to pay for registered.
The other 3 times, it didn't give me the option, as registered was free.

Ok, now I think we are on the same page.
yes now its a waiting game
the tracking number option is usually selected when you checkout, and they give you a list of available means of shipping.
the economical shipping is free, and has no tracking number
if you have an order over a certain value, your shipping is free WITH a tracking number
