Eish... sure as hell hope none of my packages are lost in transit. They're all registered, but that probably counts for naught. Been a good year for receiving international parcels and hopefully that doesn't change.
Fasttech can't ship to SA as E-Cigs are banned??

How long in transit now?
I just placed my order, and they are shipping via Switzerland, so I think it is only banned for entry from certain destinations.
I see Zim is listed. Can we maybe use a Zim address and then ship it from there?
If you have batteries or devices with built in batteries, it won't ship.
Edit: I now saw that all shipping options are greyed out. I sent them an email and explained to them that I am a police officer in SA and that e-cigarettes are not banned in this country. I also asked them where they got their information from regarding the "ban". We'll see what they say.

It's the vape mafia stopping you from doing parallel imports!
They probably read/heard about that badly written article on the proposed policy change.

Checked today and shows this
so, I may be getting it by early next year if customs / PO are true to form
Mine has been like that for a month. Oh well what's another 2545 634 months.
@picautomaton that's Singapore Airlines washing their hands of their part of the responsibility. Now the waiting starts. 2 of mine from FT hit that status on 3 August. Just 1 advanced 27 days later, the other is still waiting for processing.
As mentioned, local tracking system is also down. My parcel left Goodwood on 13/11 and it's 17th now. Will check post box at home after lunch and then call local office. Might be there.
Crap time of year for importing stuff. I guess we shouldn't bother how long it takes, but just that it actually gets here.

Yip absolutely, as long as it gets here.
Boom! Just got one package!
Also ... I'd like to apologise to everyone for the issues with the post office tracking service being down... as soon as I collected this parcel, the tracking system started working again. Must've been me.
So now I have my mod and a bunch of drip tips and nothing that goes inbetween.

I have no Idea how to track the parcel once its here, anyone care to explain? My package was sent via Singapore post so the status has just been the same ever since, is this supposed to update or am I being silly?
Get 17track for android, etc.
That status is saying it's in the country, sitting in a container, waiting for someone to finish having tea and unpack the darn thing.

OMG, those Chinese idiots at FT are confusing South Africa with Saudi Arabia! I just received a response from them. I quote:
"Sorry to tell you that the e-cigarette and related products already rejected by customs in country (Saudi Arabia) now, there is no shipping way to send your country for the moment."
Someone on the forum said previously I shouldn't call them stupid........well?

And that's probably why the likes of Aramex probably don't want to ship either. They're a UAE company.
I did. Bloody idiots. Makes my blood boil.
I have also ordered and 17track is giving me web error. did you get this? Is stated that it had arrived... Mmmm....

SA postal service tracking service seems to be crashing. It was down most of the week, then came back again yesterday but by the time I got home it was dead again. I guess they need to upgrade that old XT.

Well folks, I've had enough trying to convince FT that we are not Saudi Arabia. They keep telling me (and this is after I pointed it out on a world map for them) that "there is no shipping option to your country (Saudi Arabia) at this time as your country customs rejects e-cigarette orders"
So that's it. Moving on to other companies.
