Sourcemore ordering

[Daniel Alves]

Hi,

I just want to find out if anyone has ordered from Sourcemore?

how was the experience and roughly how long did it take for the shipping?

i know they offer a few options in terms of shipping and i would like to have a look at it.

i know it generally takes about a month or 2 for international orders and customs taking a while.

thanks

Yea i saw they mentioned not ordering juce or batts, how did the import duty payments work? Its the first time I order someting like this, i oredered a rx200 mod and a crown tank.

i originally ordered my rx200 from them, i think i paid like R60 to customs when it arrived, Customs will usually charge depending on wait and the amount they have specified on their invoice, i know fasttech usually puts theirs as hobby so you dont pay that much, just the waiting is a pain

I would gladly pay R60 i basically paid half the price for the mod. Im assuming the delivery company lets you know when it arrives in customs so you can pay?

Which shipping option did you chose?

In my experience, if you use DHL then when they deliver the item you are required to make payment.
If you ordered through the normal cheaper post, then when you collect it from your local Post Office you are required to make payment.

I have only had it once where my item was stuck at customs, I ordered something from eBay via a Chinese supplier and they did not send any invoice and customs held it there. I had to call Customs after waiting a few weeks and then needed to send them the invoice.
They then released it and I paid my customs fees at the local Post Office upon collection as usual.

"Select Shipping Method - Registered Airmail via Hongkong Post/Estimated 7-14 days(E-liquid/Battery Prohibited)", That was the free shipping with the shortest time. Its the normal shipping not DHL.

You will most likely pay the custom fees at the post office when you collect it.

Keep tracking it to make sure it does not get stuck anywhere.

Keen to hear bout you guys' experiences. I am considering ordering a mod off this site as well as it will be almost half the price but i have no experience at all wrt importing of goods

 

[KimVapeDashian]

my experience with them was good and i also used the free shipping option, with DHL you pay for what you get, not waiting for items at customs and a friend of mine got his order in 2 weeks instead of a month.
i first tracked it on Hongkong Post and once i saw that it was at ems i phoned them to get the local tracking

What did he pay for DHL delivery for intrest sake?

 

[Daniel Alves]

i think it was like $25 so you could buy another tank at least with that and just wait

Yea, but its still cheaper than any local prices. So still a bargain if you are willing to wait.

Ordered a Eleaf iStick TC 200W from Sourcemore now to wait and see

I waited about a month. Was to be expected. I bitched a little and they sent the order again, so now I have two Tsunami 24 atties.

There is currently a backlog at customs...my fasttech stuff is there since July 30th...they dont know when stuff will clear.
I think they handle the clearing agents stuff first then non agent stuff last

My one parcel has been waiting to be cleared since around the 1st as well, while the other just finished clearing on the 1st.... weird.

Yeah, I know - I emailed them and am waiting for some feedback.

I find with some of these government departments emails get you somewhere, unlike phone calls where you call and after 20 minutes the call drops.
