FastTech ships blazingly fast..............................

We have people watching every single order and that’s how we can almost guarantee ship-out speed. The longest one I’ve personally seen is an order placed on 11/29 and shipped yesterday (12/3). 5 days including weekends, 3 days without.

This is not our standard service, and we are sorry about that. We were bombarded by thousands of $0.01 flashlight orders on 11/30 and it really took us off guard. We ran that promotion for ages (well, two weeks). A few days after it first began we thought it was no big deal, so we weren’t really on the look out for huge number of orders.

In the meantime, we’ve got everything chewed through now. The thousands of orders and close to a thousand tickets (ticket were responded to within 24 hours too). The site is streamlined and it can handle bigger promos now.

Please don’t take me wrong, we’re not trying to hard sale here — just wanted to say that we really are committed to customer satisfaction. We’ll prove this by action, and even if it means long hours.

Short answer: $15+ orders get tracking for free. Anything under $15 can be upgraded with tracking by paying $0.1 to $1.70. The exact upgrade fee is displayed during checkout, and depends on what you ordered.

We do recommend upgrading to a tracked shipping method (USPS First-Class for the States and Registered Airmail or everywhere else). Standard airmail can take 30 days or so during holiday seasons.

Five days from the day I placed my order to its arrival at my location! A record!

Thanks Fasttech.com!

thanks fasttech!
nice to see an official representative here!

That would be my order, I checked back for shipping info this morning as I’ve not recieved a confirmation email yet. :wink:

it almost sounds like there’s going to be some christmas gifts under the christms tree for myself, including 3000 mAh TFF, an arduino mega and some other stuff that i ordered yesterday :slight_smile:
but we’ll see how long time the shipping takes to Sweden, we’ll see…

What a refreshing thread. Links anyone?

you mean like www.fasttech.com
or maybe a link to the arduino mega i ordered?
or would you rather have a link to the popular 18650 trustfire flames?

I ordered a FandyFire UV-S5 and four 18650 trustfire flames . They shipped last Wednesday and are already in San Francisco on there way up to Seattle! Super fast. BTW I forgot to add my coupon code so I sent them an email. They responded very quickly and refunded the 10% onto my ppl account. Just awesome.

How are they shipping out the packages… what is the shipper, USPS ePacket or a more expensive service?

Thanks.

I have a USPS tracking number so I would assume it is epacket. Nevertheless they are fast. I would order with confidence.

Thanks stolikat.

Yeah, USPS tracking number would make sense now… it’s the China Post/ePacket/USPS team.

FastTech ships blazingly fast…………………………

ePacket makes a world of difference - the USPS/China Post team, and they’ve probly had to ramp it up big-time for the holidays.

Mosta’ the members here (from all the months I lurked before joining) choose free shipping when they buy from China on the web (PURE China/HK Post, 3-4+ weeks and no tracking) and not used to quicker delivery from China…

I’m not sure how long this will last at their prices but, in the meantime, let’s enjoy :slight_smile:

Well I’ve placed a number of orders on their site - 4 in total all on different days.

I’ll post up about the delivery times when my items arrive.

I am wowed by the speed of comms from them, if you cancel an order, update an order. pretty much everything really.

I have just taken delivery of my package from FastTech. It spent a considerable amount of time within HK, not moving at all, and then it got here in a couple of days.

Overall I am happy with the purchase; only one item was DOA (wall socket-to-USB inverter), at $1.60 I am not going to send it back. Bought 20 fauxton keychain lights, all work, one is slightly dim; that's very good statistics :)

their giveaway AA light is very rudimentary; output is hardly over 10 lumens & tint is purple; it's not unlike the Gerber IU (except for build quality). I've been running it 10 hours on a freshly charged Duraloop, and it has only gotten brighter if that is at all possible (probably just an illusion caused by the reduced ambient lighting)

Not for me still waiting for my orders shipped on the 22nd and 23rd November.

I’m in a similar boat how2, although to be fair to them I think its customs/parcel force causing the hold up.

It’s not helping that tracking now won’t update till the package is delivered. :~

Holy crap. I ordered an XP-G from FastTech last week and it arrived today! They managed to send it from Hong Kong to my doorstep in Kentucky in 7 days. In my experience, after 7 days, my orders from DX or Manafont or ebay would probably still be sitting in customs half a world away.

To the FastTech guys: I don’t know how you did it but you’re doing it right. Don’t change a thing. You’ve earned a customer.

Hey guys, hopefully you can help me out. On the fasttech website, can you show me/link me to the drop-in modules that would fit on my Lumaforce LF1 body? I believe this body is the same as the Surefire…

Can I drop in any of the LED modules they have?

Well not anyone that they have. Stick to the smaller "26.5mm diameter" ones. Those are "P60" drop-ins which your flashlight body takes. You'll also need 4.2v (perhaps listed as 3.6v) input voltage. They don't have a great selection of P60 drop-ins though.

I've just made my first Fasttech order; about $70 worth. It's several miscellaneous drivers and gear, and the $40 FandyFire V6 (STL-V2 clone - http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10001314/1107600-fandyfire-stl-v6-xm-lt6-2-group-1000-lumen-white-l) with 2x Trustfire Flames and the Trustfire TR-001 charger for a coworker.

The Rook is very high up on my "Want" list, but that will have to wait until sometime after Christmas.

And I didn't know there was a coupon code! Cry
