Fasttech-Slowtech?

I ordered some stuff off this site last November and am still waiting patiently!! Anyone ever order from them and if so,how long did your delivery take? Cheers

J Mysterio

:pac: my orders are normally around 12 working days. You should check that out.

J Mysterio

To be fair, their customer service is pretty good when dealing with issues or complaints. You can contact them on the 'your orders' page.

have you had any trouble with customs using fastec also have you bought an y liquid

J Mysterio

Nah, theyre very snakey with customs. They undervalue the items and mislabel them. i.e. 'electrical component' for an iStick and a value of maybe €12 for €35.

Have made 5 orders, all delivered fairly snappy and no issues.

Haven't ordered liquid from them, though others on here do and seem happy enough.

I normally order 20 30ml bottles of Liqua juice in batches of 5,this means 4 different orders,no point putting all your eggs in one basket.
Normally takes about 4 to 5 weeks but worth the wait.
When I order other stuff,I only order one thing per order,this way if something goes missing,then it's no big deal.

Always always always upgrade your postage option to swisspost or one of the other 'two week' type options. For around $1 more its so worth it.

UPDATE
I don't know why but even though I ordered on 27november the package wasn't posted until feb7(I've seen the package in all it's glory in a pic they show on options track package page) it now says its posted to country or choice. IE. just wont let me track it any more than that! Plus the site is now close for Chinese New Year.So,here's hoping it won't be too much longer(I really really need that blue screwdriver) lol

Thats a bad delay, what were you ordering?
Another tip with FT is to only add stuff to basket thats shipping next day.

I disagree, Singpost always delivers to me, for free, in about 12 working days. Brilliant.

RIchieNouveau

It took exactly 3 weeks for something to go from "Despatched to country code: ie" to get to my door via Singapore post. That was a touch over a month from when I actually placed the order. General Reddit wisdom is that Singapore post is the worst options, slowest and with the least detailed tracking information.

J Mysterio

Was 12 working days or quicker for me on 5 occasions now with Singpost. Tracking is fine.

I decided to spent an extra $1 on half of my last order (split order) to go with TNT. Was delivered only two days faster than Singpost (half the split order), worse tracking.

No point wasting your money but each to their own.

That is literally the only report of good service from them I've ever heard.

Sing post always works best for me and best tracking.

It's the wrong time of year to be looking for anything from China and it will take at least another month before things start to return to normal.
Overall my experience with FT has been very good.
I made my first order with them mid March last year and 24 pages of orders later I'm still happy with them,
you just have to know how to separate things that will ship together and figure out which carrier is best at a certain time.

Ordered with them on 06/02/2015, shipped on 10/02/2015 and delivered today. Swiss post but that's the general delivery time for anything I ordered with whichever option I go with.

You do live in Singapore :D:D

nuttyboy79

Just on the southside of Singapore in a quaint little village called BesideTheM50

That is one place I would like to go,I do love their food...

There's 2 great places you should try if you get here can't think of there names one does its own type of poultry coated in a herby spicy wheat product similar to flour mmmm. The other one does beef ground up and shaped into a disc on a bready type roll/bun. They both do a local speciality of potato like root veg. cut and fried in oil. You can also drive to the restaurant and order through a window :eek:

Do they do that tube of porkmeat (or miscellaneous meat) thats dipped in a flour based coating then deep fried?

nuttyboy79

Nope thats another place nearby

Then I'd go there instead.
Especially if they make those flat roundish patties of root vegetable that are dipped in the same flour based coating and deep fried.

the postage on Sing Post used to be good (delivery 6/7 days after getting dispatched to overseas on the tracking) but seems to have gone to shyte in the last while (well before the Chinese New Year). is another method preferred at the moment?

have liqua stopped selling on fasttech (as they seem to be out of stock at the mo on everything liqua)? or is it just a Chinese New Year thing?

They come in and out of stock a lot from what I've seen couldn't tell you how often though.

The last lot of Liqua I got was in Sept,they haven't restocked yet,when they do restock,you need to be quick,a day or two & they are gone again for another 4 months,used to be 3 times a year they would restock,so it is close to it now,just need to check every day,I'll let you all know when they have arrived & vice versa.

i'm waiting on a package via singpost 11 days now since being shipped and tracking tells you
nada.
it was my first order on fasttech and only found out after how bad sign;post are
waiting in hope

Thecageyone

I used fasttech only a couple of times, each time took about 3 weeks. I just rather pay a little more to get it now. Unless it's something you're really not in a hurry for, I wouldn't have the patience.

I've gotten things in less than 2 weeks overall before. singpost seems to have gone to cack - appears that service is not consistent. with your consignment if it's not showing "dispatched to overseas country" yet then it means that it's still in the process of going from fasttech to singpost or that singpost have it (most likely) and haven't even started sending it abroad yet. it used to be the case that when you see the "dispatched to overseas country" on tracking that you'd then have it with you in a week but as from my example above this now seems to be 2 weeks or a little more. If I'm ordering again, I'll use a different postal service.

Just received a package this morning. I paid the extra 1.75 which gave me Malaysia post rather than Singapore. I ordered on the 10th so exactly 14 days ago. Not bad.

EGriff

I put in an order late last night and now they're telling me its shipped already the liars.

Malaysia post was only 50 cent extra for me.

EGriff

Any of you have the kuro coilers from there? I ordered them, a derringer, ceramic tweezers, a load of drip tips and about 200 pre built micro coils. Got a bit click happy.

Could have done without the coils really, the blue screwdriver method is working well for me but they were so cheap I said why not.

I bought the Kuro's & Ceramics a couple of months ago & they are top notch...

My order arrived this morning, 2 weeks, not bad.

Ordered end of jan, shipped feb 8th, arrived last thursday.

The important thing is that it actually arrived and to be fair the long delivery time wasnt actually the fault of fasttech.

LazyPicti

Order shipped March 13, still waiting

China post was a bad choice me thinks.

macker33

Support is pretty good so you might think of getting in touch with them

LazyPicti

I'll mail them on Monday, i have been tracking it so i know exactly where the package has traveled, it's went from one side of China to the other and back and it is now in Beijing Wangjing International Swaps Bureau? hopefully that's an airport

Two new Cloupor minis finally arrived.
Order made and paid for on 17/4 and marked as shipped on 22/4 (not in stock at time of order so thats fine).
Now comes the problem which I find ridiculous.
It took from the 22/4 to the 1/5 for the package to show up at the PostNL sorting centre, thats nearly 10 days missing.
I paid the $4 for Post NL option, 12 day max delivery time.
From there it took the full 12 days and I had the package on 13th, yesterday.

What the fk was going on in that 10 day period in between I do not know.
Its infuriating.

Anyway, two shiny new black Cloupor Minis, I tested them both immediately and they are perfect.

Anybody have any idea who is shipping fastest at the moment?

That's not bad going though singpost the majority of the time break my heart and leave me on edge for weeks usually, might just go for china post and hope they're still fairly fast like they were this time last year.
