Totally Wicked USA - off on the wrong foot?

Ripley, how much inc. shipping to chicago?

[Letzin Hale]

that's the 2nd whine i've read tonight made by a user with less than 30 posts about a well respected and decent supplier.

Sort matters with the supplier first before posting public, or at least read up on the forums about what a sellers rep is like.

Jason is a pioneer in making e-liquid safe and regulated and accepted by the authorities, he's dealing with an awful lot of legal ramblings at the moment and managing to keep us supplied with the goods.

Rant over

I'm with Ripley here, he's/she's not slagging anyone off, just relating his/her experience, as we all are entitled to on what is mostly a democratic forum. Facts have been offered regarding shipping problems and opinions regarding the liquid. I admire your chivalry in defending a reputable supplier but everyone has to accept some criticism when it's justified and in this case it sounds like it is. An announcement was made to launch the opening of the US outlet but it now seems it might have been somewhat premature if the US seller doesn't have enough stock to fill orders and US buyers are kept waiting.

I refuse to buy liquid from wicked usa because it costs 10 dollars more than my favorite liquid. It can't be that much better, it's all made in the same place, basically.

I don't understand what the amount of posts has to do with anything, I've been e-smoking since sept and there are users who just signed up for the forum who have double the amount of posts I do.
My co worker has had an e-cig since last year and he isn't even a member of this or any forum.

In buisness it doesn't matter how good your intentions are, if you can't deliver the goods in a reasonable amount of time then you shouldn't be selling it.

FYI- I'm currently selling a Bentley, 3 Porshe, 2 Lamborghini, and 5 Lotus!!! I accept payment through Paypal
Currently I do not have any of these cars in stock but I will gladly take your money first

When I was desperate for some 36mg juice, I ordered from TW in the UK (the US site had not opened yet). It cost almost $100 for a 90 ml total and I thought I'd die before it got here.

Meanwhile, I saw puresmoker had the 36mg in, ordered from there and at $30 for 50 ml, got it sooner than the TW, and saved a lot of money.

I think ordering from TW works better price and delivery-wise for the UK but unless you are hooked on that particular brand and absolutely can't live without it, the US is better off buying locally.

Now that being said....even when the US site is stocked, I personally would not buy at those prices unless the juice was so superior that being able to buy it cheaper somewhere else would not matter to me. And since I am satisfied with puresmoker, I doubt that is going to happen.

And this is not a slam on Pillbox. Juice is my biggest expense right now......I spend enough on it already.

I'll second that one on the price...

I don't want to get involved in this really but want to just point out one thing to be fair.

One of the reasons Wicked costs more than some others is because Pillbox spends money on getting lab tests carried out to check that it really is what we are told it is and there are no known toxins apart from nicotine. He has to recoup costs and some people are prepared to fork out for extra safety measures.

12 year old Oban comes from the same place as 3 year old Crown Royal. I haven't tried TW, so I'm not saying is IS good enough to be worth the difference, but saying it comes from the same place is a pretty shallow reason to reject the idea.

I totally forgot about that one Kate. Thanks for the remind

Yes, and that's why I didn't want to slam pillbox nor TW. So if that's important to a user, then yes, they probably don't mind spending the extra bucks.

But for your average Joe Schmo (like me)....who is currently smoking liquid that could turn green any minute, through a fish tank filter....well, I guess some of our standards are a bit low for that price....LOL
