Fasttech can't ship to SA as E-Cigs are banned??

[SinnerG]

I dont understand how packages previously took a month+ to get here. It only took two weeks now. Maybe they got too many orders from SA.

Volume went berserk around September/October. I reckon people ordered in a ton of christmas gifts hoping they'd beat the system, but instead overloaded the damn thing.

Packages are coming through again. I just received my final Fasttech package yesterday (Kayfun v5 mini, finally). It was the first one FT sent, but the last to arrive. Took almost 3.5 months. Funny that they both indicated leaving JHB on the same day for CPT, but then one took a whole month to make it.

Also it seems SAPO now not reporting extra information through the likes of 17track. Refreshed yesterday and most of tracked shipment information was cut down in detail. On the bright side, it hasn't fallen over again. Kinda sucks having less detail, but hopefully it means less week-long downtime sessions.

That's as close as you'll get right now. Most of them are the KF prime.

Svoe Mesto clones were pulled couple months ago. I have the SXK clone. Machining is good, but the glass tank isn't cut square. Will order a smoked one sometime.

I placed an order on 2 November with ft and it was sent on 6 November. Unfortunately they say the delivery method I choose had no tracking. Below is the email I received after the shipped my order. i am still waiting. Any suggestions ??

Finally my parcel arrived and picked it up at the local post office.

 

[Vino1718]

And this is probably why Fasttech think we're not getting our parcels. I'll collect it today and see if the status changes. I havent even receive my 1st notification yet.

It seems that FT really does think vaping is banned here. I placed another order on the 16th for some vape gear and some non related items. When I tried to check out - no go. I split the vape gear out from my order and the non vape related items went through check out just fine. Used @Vino1718 work around for the vape gear and it worked - THANKS BUD!!! Both shipments are now in transit.

Here you go. Quote the tracking number and give them your postal address. They will probably ask you for an invoice and/or proof of payment.

It still works. Problem might be your phone. If you use the chrome browser, select desktop view.

Fasttech response:

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Because the too lower-delivered rate of E-cigs products to South Africa, the shipping method is not safe, then our shipping carriers stop shipping E-cigs products to your country. Hope you can understand.

A page or 2 back explain a way around it. I received some pico squeeze bottels last month through their free shipping. Did take 2 months to get here but that was mostly SAPO.

Do a group buy and use Dhl. Maybe ask @Room Fogger he is always willing to organize

Fasttech is confusing South Africa with Saudi Arabaia (SA) our int abbreviation is ZA, but they see SA and thinks ecigs are banned here. I've tried changing their minds, but the stupid is strong with them.

Yep, it just takes a little effort and "cheating" on the address side.

How does the "cheating" work or has it already been mentioned and I just missed it?

 

[Nova69]

I checked the old method and i could not get it to work.

My apologies in advance for flogging what appears to be be a dead horse, but I've looked around the forums and and seen old group buys. I've also tried the "old" method as mentioned above and it doesn't appear to work at all anymore. However, before giving up entirely, I just wanted to ask if there wasn't perhaps another way to order off fasttech? they seem to be the only ones who have what I'm looking for.

Contact their support and ask for the item to be added - worked for me the last time I ordered.
