Yeh, "back in the good ole days" 6 days sounds about right for California. Mine averaged about 10-12 days to Texas.
BUT NOW ! When's the last time you ordered from FastTech? From all I've read here they've gone down the toilet. Slow... Slow... and Slower.
I haven't ordered from them in months as I didn't wanna wait like all the people here were bitching about. First batteries, then knives , then various shipping methods. blah blah blah..yadda yadda.
USPS HK packages shipped from FT mostly arrived in my box within the estimated 8 days. A few outliers at 9-16 days; these hit holidays. They've been fast enough to spoil me as very few china orders from other shops get to me within 20 days.
Nothing beats amazon prime in consistency/price/speed/customer service.

agree 100%. They are king. Jeff Bezos sees things differently than most. Their customer service is 2nd to none, in my opinion. The few times I have had an issue on an order they do all they can to correct it, even offering credit.
According to the recent feedbacks from the $1 flashlight customers, they received the package around 25-30days (average). Some may even take a 3-5 days longer.
For super saver shipping from China, this is an average shipping speed around 30 days, especially at the end of the year, packages and shipments are times increased compared to usual time.
(it’s only been 26 days so far for me, got a ways to go)
just got mine today, whew… worry’s gone but then again at less than $3 I’m not losing sleep here
surprisingly is much brighter than the one that I got from Wallbuys
Very nice clone
Ordered only two, because at that price was feeling a little like a thief to buy more
It has nothing written on it, black ops light.
The pill is hollow, Next mode memory was fixed with the pencil streak across the capacitor
Relatively bright (compared to other lights that i had of that model)
good buy
mine also arrived today, 3modes although the box say 5mode. Handy and bright. Am keeping this as previous Sipik clones bought were given away. Well lubed sample I got.
My last order was placed on Jan 15th. It still isn't here. I was hoping for a taste of the good old days so I could bring it on my last camping trip, but FT failed me.
Received my 2 lights today. The beam in foold mode is on the wider side. One has metal zooming ring and horrible feeling when zooming. Other has the lens scratched on the inner side, zooms a bit past the perfect focus and have problems zooming if the pill fully tightened, I needed to unscrew it a bit (about 1/6 turn) to make it zoom smoothly. Overall an average SK68 clone - not bad, but not better than any others either.
