As my neighbor from Slovakia said, it’s fast.
You fail to recognize that FastTech is only responsible for how fast they process and ship out your order.
Then it is on the shipping company you selected to handle the package.
Ordered 30. December or so.
Shipped 31. December, that is it took 1 day at FastTech to process and get the order out of their hands.
It was sent as a gift, value HKD 27 instead of around USD 26, weight 0.225kg, postage price HKD 48.20 ~ USD 6.22, date 03.01.2013.
So yes due to holidays it took them some time to get into shipped, probably because the post office was closed.
Left Hong Kong on 10. January.
Arrived to central EU on 13. January, to the customs.
14. January delivery to me, but the * was too lazy to come here or to bother to ring.
15. January a receipt in my mailbox that I found after receiving another package from FancyFlashlights.
Went to the post office and got my FastTech package.
During normal work days it should be like this:
1 day shipped from your order.
Then it takes 3-4 days to go through the customs in HK.
Up to 3 days to get to your country from HK.
1 day at your local customs.
1 day delivery to your house.
Total around 7-10 days. Usually the range is 7-14 days with things arriving the 10th day on average.
This is a standard registered airmail, small bubble wrapped package, two hands size, around 0.25kg.
With my second order I was below $15 to get free registered shipping. Didn’t want to pay the $0.51 to get it so I bought some other things that I have a use for and got over $15.
Normal unregistered shipping is probably not an airmail but ground mail, doesn’t have to be but with some eBay shipments I have this feeling that they are as they take a month to arrive, one arrived after 3 months, already refunded that one of course.
Unregistered airmail should be the same as registered one, maybe ever so slightly slower.
Check your tracking. Ah wait, you don’t have one, unregistered, well good luck then as you will have no idea where your package is and all the problems will have to be resolved with the seller and in a borderline case PayPal, but as far as I know, PayPal will not accept it unless it’s a registered/tracked package.
My other package from china arrived way too fast, yesterday or day before yesterday and was ordered 3. January, shipped 4. January and arrived 13.–14. January, 10 days, unregistered from China, my bike flashlight holder.
So it only depends on how lucky you are with the shipping company and maybe your local customs and local post/shipping company.
Satisfied with FastTech registered shipping, same as any other registered shipping from other companies.
My second order from FastTech:
Shipped January 7th.
Left HK on 15. January.
Should arrive here on Saturday or Monday. I guess Monday-Tuesday is more probable.
