Post-Lockdown Fasttech GB

Hi @vicTor
We are nearly there, and yet not at all.
Most of the items are ready to ship, but a handful are holding the order back.
I will post a detailed update here on the thread a little later today. There are a few items listed for a 20 August ETA and one item as 27 August.

Guys, I just want to stand up for @CJB85 . Fasttech is to fault here, not anyone else. For instance, my order on number 2 above was on 3 day ETA when we ordered, now all of a sudden its 21 August... I know none of us like the waiting game, but that is always a possibility when ordering from Fasttech. There is a reason why they are cheaper than the rest. If waiting is an issue I would suggest in future you look at buying local or on the high end vape gear websites.

At least this time the longest wait is for something substantial, like a mod... remember last time the huge delay was for Pulse squonk side panels :facepalm:

I have no problem waiting. Thank you kindly for your hard work and follow up's @CJB85.
By the way if those needle dropper bottles cause any further hassle just can them. :)
 
Hi @CJB85

Just wanted to say, if those drip tips of mine get delayed again and there is a possibility to remove them from the order you are more than welcome to.
I don't want such a huge order to be delayed for a few drip tips.

Thanks

Hi @klipdrifter
I will keep updating everyone with what happens.
I have been following the community forums on Fasttech for the last few days and it seems Fasttech is having some trouble with receiving stock from suppliers. Any item that is listed as "ships in X days" is not held in the Fasttech warehouse, but ordered once a customer pays for it. So the ETA date is exactly that, an esitmate. With so many channels still affected by the whole Covid issue, some suppliers are slow to ship, couriers take a little longer than expected and every little delay is passed on to us us the customer.
I think everyone just needs to remember that the normal shipping route would still take much longer (there are a number of complaints on the forum about the PostNL route, stating that the parcel is still in the PostNL warehouse 2-3 weeks after it was handed over by Fasttech) to reach SA, then you need to pray it gets through customs quickly and that the post office doesn't screw it up.
The delays suck, yes, but I think the EcigsSA community is awesome enough to tolerate a wait to make sure a fellow member gets the gear he/she wants.

What really grinds my nether jewels though, is that Fasttech has come back twice in two days with items being discontinued after quite a wait. Now the two affected members have had to pick "ships next day" items as replacement to avoid another 2-3 week delay. If Fasttech could pick up on those discontinued items quicker, the affected people could have picked from a much wider range of items.

I am just waiting for the items to update for today, then I will re-post that list of outstanding items with new ETAs.

Agreed. From my side I understand that when you place an order, you want it yesterday, but these are not normal times. Covid and lock down has worn us a little thin, stripped our pockets and mostly kept us sober. I know that when I have a whiskey or two, it be like "aw hell man no problem I can wait" Next morning be like "Where the hell is my parcel"

Here is the thing though. It will get here and be all the more satisfying for the wait, and then we will move on to the next thing, which will probably be selling on all your old kit that was replaced by the GB

Patientia vincit omnia
 
Hi everyone
My apologies, yesterday kind of got away from me, but below is the list of outstanding items as of 10 minutes ago. if any changes occur during the day, I will post those changes.

  1. Authentic DOVPO Odin 200 200W TC VV VW APV Box Mod - ETA 21 August
  2. AOLVAPE Epoxy Resin 510 Drip Tip (4 Pieces) - ETA 21 August
  3. Authentic Wotofo Profile RDTA Rebuildable Dripping Tank Atomizer - ETA 22 August
  4. AOLVAPE Stainless Steel Cleaning Brushes for E-Cigarettes (5-Pack) - ETA 24 August
  5. Authentic Innokin Kroma-R 80W VV VW APV Box Mod (BLACK) - ETA 27 August
  6. 5PCS Authentic Wotofo nexMESH Clapton Mesh Sheet Coil Wire - 22 August
  7. Authentic Lost Vape Orion Plus Replacement Pod Catridge Kit - States scheduled ship date as 20 August, with no "restocking". I assume they have it and are busy packing it with the order.
  8. Replacement Glass Tank for GeekVape Zeus Atomizer (5-Pack) - showing as "restocking"
  9. Authentic Avidartisan Daedalus Pro Clapton Wire DIY Tool Coil Jig - ETA 27 August
  10. Authentic Clrane Replacement Glass Tank for Wotofo Serpent Alto RTA Atomizer (5-Pack) - showing as "restocking"

The good news is that the list is getting shorter.
The bad news is that some items have had their dates extended again. It is clear that the focus with ETA is definitely on the ESTIMATED, as quite a few items have had the date pushed on the ETA date. Some items have even been cancelled on the ETA date due to being discontinued. I think at this point the high risk items are the AOLVAPE tips, AOLVAPE brushes, the Daedalus jig and the replacement glass for the Zeus and Alto atomizers.
NB - There is still a chance for any of the items listed above to be listed as discontinued, so please prepare yourself accordingly. Fasttech contacted me twice for discontinued items and they offer three options: A refund, a gift certificate, or a change to an item that is listed as "ships next day".

Thanks for everyone's patience and sorry that this has not gone as quick as we wanted. This is starting to feel like it did waiting for lockdown level 3 to end!
 
Thanks @CJB85

You are a champ. As I said regarding those drip tips, they are definitely not an essential that I desperately need since uncle Rob sold some of his SiamTips. If need be I can always change it for some wire/cotton etc... So keep me posted

Will do! please have a quick browse through the section of items that have "ships next day" as the stock status (you can filter it that way). One item I know for a fact that ships the next day is the Firebolt Cotton 2-pack. Fingers crossed that those tips come in though.

Hey there. You can change it to the Firebolt Cotton thanks.

@CJB85 Is there any chance that more items could end up on the list above and be at the risk of being discontinued bud? Im sure there is no definite way of knowing but just from your experience? But the list is coming down!! :)
Thanks for all your efforts bud! We appreciate you!

No, once an item shows “ready to ship” it is as stated. All that can still happen is that the items on the list above can have their dates extended.
 
Authentic Clrane Replacement Glass Tank for Wotofo Serpent Alto RTA Atomizer (5-Pack) - showing as "restocking"

The serpent alto glass is mine, if it cant be shipped or causes a hold up theres no problem in taking it off the list. Dont really need anything else so you can get something for yourself or another member can use the $
