Strange comment from USPS lady today - E-Cigarette Forum

STILLSMOK9 · 06-08-2009, 09:03 PM

Today I received my package of e-cig supplies delivered by a USPS delivery woman. I had to sign for the package and when I did the lady looked at me and said "BE CAREFUL"?

I was thinking how does she know what I am getting in this package?

The package was not labeled with anything referring to e-cigarettes.

Do they check the contents of our packages or what?

Just seemed strange!!

She may have just been joking about a package from China--was it a delivery from China?--- Sun

Call them up and ask them. It could be a fun phone call.

I too had a rather strange thing happen with USPS a cpl of weeks ago. Normally my e-cig stuff that has to be signed for comes via my normal carrier. On this particular order they sent 2 carriers to my house on the same day, one with all my "normal" mail and a second that had my e-cig order from China that had to be signed for. The 2nd one came up on my porch and knocked on the door, the regular carrier has NEVER done that. She sits out front and blows the horn till I walk out to her car. I consider the extra carrier weird, but as far as I can tell harmless. If I was the paranoid conspiracy theory type I'd probably be freaking out though. Not saying any of Ya'll are, so don't take it personally. Who knows, maybe it's some crazy USPS conspiracy to intimidate us into not ordering our supplies etc. LOL!!!

This happened to me on Saturday. I NEVER have two different carriers deliver my mail and my orders from China, but I did on Sat. Weird. Oh well, I was just happy to see it

I always have two different carriers with my China orders, the China order always comes by 10:30 and the rest of the mail at normal time (more like 2 pm). Think it may have something to do with it being express, don't know for sure.

My carrier has been pretty cool about it. I had gotten a couple of packages I had to go pick up, so I could sign because I wan't home. The next time I made sure I was home and the carrier offered to sign for me the next time and has been doing that ever since. He actually apologized that he didn't do that the first time, but wanted to make sure it was ok, and another time it was a different carrier that did it. Really nice guy.
