It gets to SA quickly. It's on this side all the delays happen. My last 2 parcels left 7/7 with Singapore Post and at Cape Mail 22/7. That's probably the fastest. But I have one that left 18/6 and it's "missing"

You forgot STRESS for first time buyers in there.
You forgot STRESS for first time buyers in there.
For that very reason (stress) can I not order with one of the Fastech Veterans here in CPT?
It's better to stress and have a old hand reassure you than having to find numbers and email addresses to phone/mail/harass...
This is me asking
I think that my post was misinterpreted. I meant stress as in first time buyers from FT starting to get worried after the first 2 weeks. I will state again - ALL my parcels from FT has gotten to me. Some in 2 weeks, some in 3 months. But they all eventually got here.For that very reason (stress) can I not order with one of the Fastech Veterans here in CPT?

The best advice I can give on ordering from FT has been mentioned to death on here, but I will say it again:
Put what you want in your cart (after reading the discussion threads on that specific item and picking the best quality one)
Pay
FORGET about the order (this makes it go by quicker)
and eventually you receive your package.
@phanatik - I will be more than happy to order the items for you, as will any other FT buyer. But I can not make the silly SAPO system go quicker. And whether I phone/mail/harass or you do it, we will both get the same answers.
all of my orders have got to me eventually. I did have one order that took nearly 7 months and I have had some in 4 weeks. if you want it for Christmas I would advise to order way before 2 months. The Christmas rush slows the process even longer.

Hey @baksteen8168
I get that, just thought it could be another way of meeting up with fellow vapers in the region as well, and grow the community.
I actually want to get some gear to PIF off, and i'm not always a cheapskate, but if i can safe some randzellas, then why not?
Ah, I get you. Actually a good idea

If you are building with Kanthal, get some ceramic tweezers
I hope this helps:
Products needs to be in stock before they leave FT - this you can see on each item. This is sent to the shipping company.
Most orders takes about 4 to 8 days to ship, from date of shipment, to date of arrival in SA.
The problem is that obviously this shipment does not come to SA every day - some of these companies send one container when it is full, or perhaps once a month then. My last order took 45 days before it even left China - it was at the shipping company for that long. So depending on luck... Your order could leave China either in 2 days, or in 45.
OK, so now it has arrived in SA, so it will be in JHB (if it was per air) and its status will be "in transit" - this could take a couple of days, then depending where you are it will land up at customs. This is where you may be requested to send the FT invoice. The only real way is to check the status on https://www.postoffice.co.za/tools/trackandtracedomestic.html - which is almost always down.
After that it is released. Most of the times you will get a new SA tracking number - it has been said that this means it is at the final destination.
I use a combination of sites, apart from the above, to see where my stuff is.
You can register here, and load your parcels - it has notifications when they change - parcel must be in SA though:
http://trackmyparcel.co.za/signRegister
Then also for general international info I use: http://www.17track.net/en/
My last package was stuck in SA for 32 days.
From above you can see multiple places where there will be a holdup. The best you can do is order wishlist items, randomly, and in small batches. It is small "Me" presents. Awesome. The stuff you really really want and need is the stuff you buy in SA. Mods and so forth. The nice to haves? Wait for it. Yes you can get the Billow 2 for a third the price. But by the time it arrives the v3 is out. So you simply invested in old tech.

I just use my Capitec account. Works perfectly. But any MasterCard / VISA / PayPal also works.
Personally I would recommend PayPal. But this is the same as ordering from any site, like Takealot. They did ask me for a photo of my card the first time, to prove it is mine and not some stolen card. They of course don't ask for a photo from the back.

That is correct. AFAIK PayPal supports EFT as well.
Ok because I dont have a bank account but I just wanna make sure I open the write account
