In this case, it's just as well though. That's the knife that FT changed the .sku item; it was originally the Boker clone and now it's just another cheap/trash knife. This just saves me the RMA and return process.
I guess I'll just by a NiMH charger at Wal Mart now. All I'm missing is the voltage detector.
I just made four separate orders of 18650s from FT, totaling 16 cells. Three orders have been shipped via HKPost. Let’s see if they make it out of the country.
I had a package “shipped” with Singapore Post on 4/10 too, but it’s not even trackable (as in “The following Item(s) is/are not found”). No li-ions though, maybe I should have ordered some?
Go to fasttech and click “your orders”, you can manage everything there. By the way, in such cases as you quoted, they said they will automaticly put the batteries into the device.
I wonder is that is actually all or all for air freight? I would like them to open an over land delivery system. Old school but will avoid many of the dangers of transporting via air. May take a month but better than than none?
I didn’t tell them anything. They’re aware of what the situation is at the moment. The Chinese have been dealing with these bureaucratic logjams for ages. I’ll leave it to their ingenuity to keep me supplied with fresh ells.
The last order was placed Oct 1 but not shipped until Oct 10 because of their holiday. FT told me last night, (Oct 10) that they had received them back from SP. Seems like very fast turnaround. I’ve already received my PP refund.
It seems that FT prefers SP over HKP for battery shipments. I suppose I could ask them to use HKP, but I would think they know which one has the best chance of success, based on the number of returned packages they’re getting from each postal service.
