I opened a ticket and asked FT to send my package HKP…they said they would…surprised surprise…it sent Sing post…now it’s twice the delivery times…not happy at all…
They are creating serious waves in the e-cig world with their pricing - you thought NiteCore gate was nasty, Innokin really threw the rattle out of the pram. They are selling metric bum burgers worth of e-cig kit now and the service has slipped of late due to the increased load.
You’ve probably seen this before, but wow, look at this bold statement!!

yep I am an ecig user and on the forums etc…they got innokin products from a different source so were able to sell them pretty low…my latest package they sent sing post was an innokin product…really good price on some of the stuff…
Wow, so much criticism for doing us a favor...

If you're talking about switching from HKPost to SingPost with no notice, it's not a favor if it triples the shipping time. Some places on the planet may get faster service through SingPost, and of course, they should use whatever's fastest depending on the destination whenever possible. I have no problem with them using SingPost for places where it's quicker than HKPost. My issue is when they make a change that takes the one week transit time and turns it into three weeks.
edit: oh great. Somebody didn't close the <i> tag and now everything below that is in italics.
edit2: LOL fixed xD
Yeah, I was focusing on the fact that FT was selling items way below the MSRP, but in turn got a lot of heat from manufacturers.
I think they have yet to explain why they are using SingPost on regions where HKPost is clearly faster, except with the case of li-ion batteries. (Weird, they shipped my 18650’s via HKPost this week.)
Auto-italics? Is this a bug?
awe i wanted to be the one to save the day from the evil italics
Wow, that was weird. 
yeah pretty sure it was the American and Canadian vendors that are forced to sell MAP that complained…can’t really blame them, but as a customer I like the savings lol
Were you saying something? 
:bigsmile:
she reintroduced the italics to the thread!!
I just realized everything, including our user names, is in italics! 
Edit: and now in bold!
muhahahahaha
I didn't know that Innokin company before, but they don't make a great first impression to me.
So, FT sells their items below MSRP, and in return they accuse FT of selling fake products... IMO this alone would be enough for FT to file a lawsuit against THEM.
Posting statements like this on the web can cost you a lot of money if you are wrong. Even if you're right, but can't prove anything ;)
China doesnt work like that, they don’t like how the business is done by this vendor or that manufacturer but they all like to do business and that is their and they will do anything to grab as much customers they can. Lawsuits and such is apple’s/us style of “making” business…
Anyway, shipping via HKPO was best way (8-13 days from ordering to my doorsteps) until about two months ago, then, cuple of my packages (and not only my other pepole from Serbia had identical problem) ended up stuck at HKPO for almost a month. After that we all prefered SGPO, even CN was better. Now, it seems we have identical problem, many people from Serbia are complaining that their packages left HKPO almost a month ago but they still didn’t arrive!!!
Just made another recent order and it took about 10 days. I live in SF, CA so packages get to me quick.
That’s what I did.
They said they hadn’t got it. I said you did and sent tracking number. They said # wasn’t valid- I may have left off two numbers…. re sent it- and reminded them they had a jpeg of the receipt that I uploaded to get them to refund my shipping (which they had the prior week). Next email was a few hours later and told me they’d be sending it out right away. Looks like Miami might not be that tightly of a run ship.
With something like e-vape where you are directly inhaling the product, a little caution might be a good thing. Is anyone actually considering the possibility that these may actually be fakes?
Steve, you make a very good point that a manufacturer should not just make bold statements like this without being confident in the claim. Here’s my point; what if they are confident in that statement?
When it comes to flashlights, I can handle receiving a fake that initially looks like the real thing. For a product that could have health risks, I’d exercise caution when advised by the product’s manufacturer.
Just my two cents.
