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

I'm excited, my order with 100 7135s is getting delivered today. :D

Considering the holidays and all, 14 days to Finland is very good!

I just got my package of 100 7135 chips, magnets, along with some iphone stuff. :D

I used "BLF" as a code today and got a 5% discount with it. My second order. I've been using the "contact us" section to talk to them. They seem on the ball and very helpful, plus very quick to respond. My first order cleared thru the HK post in three days. Now to watch it sit in NY customs for two weeks or better, most likely.

But, that's not Fasttech's fault.

i’m surprised you got it in 16 days… i got mine in less than 10 days including weekend,
2 orders went throught smoothly, although one of them is not working… they get back in less than 24 hrs and sent me replacement right away. now that’s a REAL customer service :smiley:

two orders placed on dec 13th one order arrived today 27th. 14 days, so not too bad considering christmas and severe weather here in new york. the other order

What was the coupon code again?
I used LAUNCH and it worked but I can’t remember our code…

BLF is the code, I believe.

Thanks
Seen it right now three posts above mine, lol
Too easy…

OK, colour me impressed.

Ordered 20/12
Left HK 28/12
Arrived 2/1/13

13 days including Christmas and New Year holidays! This order has landed before the ones I placed back at the beginning December with a couple of other suppliers. I can live with a couple of weeks for new toys to arrive, moving forwards I can see me using FastTech providing the prices are close to the mark. Whilst I need to be prudent I can justify a couple of quid to save a long wait.

Ordered: 20 Dec

Shipped: 24 Dec

Delivered: 4 Jan

16 days total. So over 2 weeks for me.

Still waiting on my first order. I think I will avoid them in the future. I only ordered because people said they shipped fast. Not in my case. Wallbuys has shipped me items I ordered faster.

My FastTech package or Panasonic 18650's are stuck at ISC San Francisco since the 31st while my other package (a battery Holder also from FastTech) spent only 1 day at the same place. Interesting.

Did you pay for speedpost or how its called?

Theres no speedpost to Latvia, but for the same amount of money registered delivery was offered with up to 14 days delivery time.
Lets see how long will it take to get here :smiley:

Maybe it's because of the fact we are so used to long shipping times that we are so blown away by a company that does it correctly .

Shipping this fast at such great prices makes you want to order more from this company . i have a few things I'd like to buy from them and had to stop the urge to place such a small order.. they have created in me a different mentality . I appreciate them as being one of the best companies in china I've ever dealt with.

LOL… mine is the opposite of yours…

ordered 2X from fasttech… average is 14 days compare to wallbuys 25 days
the new order from wallbuys during their 50% off is coming faster maybe in 15 days… that’s with using DHL and extra $30 :frowning:

Well you guys seem to maybe confuse the time it takes FastTech or any other shop to send the goods to you. Usually takes a couple days.

Then the long waiting is not due to FastTech or any other shop! It’s due to the other service you selected, like an airmail which is cheap, with chinese often free but also undeniably slow. It can take a week or a month or even few. I’ve had goods arrive to me in as low as 5 days maybe up to 3 months (where I already got refunded - eBay).

I’m surprised it takes DHL etc. to get it to you for so long.
If it’s not a rush it’s here from HongKong to Europe in 10-14 days on average. China is a bit different and seems much slower :confused:

DHL and such, how long do they state it will take it to ship it?
From where to where. As that seems really slow, I would complain with the shipping company, $30 for 2 weeks delivery? Unacceptable. I’ve had a promotion price new product with free shipping sent to me via “DHL next day” inside Europe and it’s been here next day. I didn’t know it’s going via such service I was surprised what the heck did it arrive! Free shipping and they send it via next day delivery. (After waiting 3 months in a queue after it’s release and production, so I wasn’t in a hurry for it.)

Also with all out of your region (USA, EU), take into account the customs. They are filled with stuff to handle during rush times like Christmas. Well everybody is. I wouldn’t be surprised if some stuff arrived in late January if ordered in December. Some years are ok, some are worse, as changes are made to customs.

actually i placed the order on Christmas ( 50% off)… but it turn out they didn’t ship my packages until 1/4/13 :frowning:
so… i’m just guessing i’ll get my package 15 days since i placed the order… is it worth it?
well… i already saved $150 from those sale… why not splurge a little for faster shipping… that way i can play with my lights a lot sooner :smiley:

I have an order coming, and I used the LAUNCH code and got some off. I have heard it is better to use BLF, and somebody said in another thread the the new code is GOTECH. So I don’t know if LAUNCH expired, BLF works all the time, or if the new code GOTECH is to be used. I order about 70 worth of drivers, panasonics, emitters, etc…

DayLighter: it’s been holidays, no wonder they ship it in January. Most shops and places are closed during last week in December.
Placed my order yesterday evening, today start of afternoon, shipped with a tracking number. So IMHO it’s at least packaged and marked and maybe even at the post office or will be today. That’s 1 day from order to shipping, I’m satisfied. Now it’s up to the post to get it here.

GOTECH is old and doesn’t work anymore.
LAUNCH gives you a discount on all products.
BLF gives you a discount of the same % on certain products, batteries yes, some other things not.
CPF same as BLF. <— tried it and it showed the same discount.

You can actually try the codes when you have stuff in your cart and see the discounts, simple and easy, I like!

Haven’t had time to try some more, any ideas or luck guessing codes?

What could be changed is the limit for registered shipping, though the price for it is reasonable. Under $15 you have to pay some cents to get registered shipping, depends on how much is there left up to $15, the closer you are the less you pay for registered shipping.

I like to keep my orders low, because of the $29 (22€) limit in EU to not pay for the customs. Otherwise it’s immediately +$8 +20-22% tax.
