My Provari is here!! White Mini with green LED. Of course I haven't seen that light up yet as I'm currently charging my batteries, no pun intended!.....*currently*....charging....get it? I had to chase down the mail man...lol....thought I had it planned out so I wouldn't miss him but was working in a back room and didn't hear the knock. He was early today too! So I go to the mailbox and I have some juice. Then I see the dreaded little peach colored slip of paper at the bottom of the mail box which means I missed a delivery, and I immediately know that it's the Provari! (thanks to whoever posted that you need to sign for the package!) I get in my car and figure he can't have gotten far but I drive in the wrong direction, ending up nose to nose with a mail truck in the back parking lot of the store 3 blocks away. I walk up to the truck but can already see the guy shaking his head. He says, "no, this isn't even the same township"....seems it changes right at that block. So I drive up and down streets going in the opposite direction, back towards my house. Long story short...kind of...After driving up and down about 6 streets I spot a mail truck, drive right up behind it and lucky me..the mail man is standing by his truck. I wave my slip of paper from the car and he approaches, smiling..this is good, right? I hand him the slip and he says "Oh, yeah, I have this". So....YAY!! It's here, batteries are charging, it looks gorgeous, heftier than I expected, and I will report back later with no doubt complete and utter awe on the quality of the vape. Never thought I would be THAT person who actually chases down the mail man, but I just knew I couldn't wait another day!! :mail:Have a nice afternoon! :banana:

Too funny! I had to chase my mailman on Friday too, but luckily it was only 3 houses down! I walked briskly down the street yelling "HEEYYY!"

Got my Polished Mini with a blue LED and it is gorgeous! I am sure you will love the ProVari (this was my fourth one ;))

When the mailman knocked on the front door (we never use the Front door) these guys heard it before me:

Chaos ensued (as you can imagine), by the time I got them corralled and out the side door, the mailman was already next door. I went to the mailbox and found the slip then made my way down the street following him!! It wasn't amusing at all!

It is actually my son sitting there with a piece of KFC chicken that he peeled the crusties off of!

I took a series of pics with those three watching his every move, it was hilarious with their heads moving in unison!

I occasionally get those missed delivery cards from USPS. I live on a private road, so my mailbox is up on the main road. One of my mailman is lazy. Doesn't even attempt delivery, just drops the card in the mailbox and goes on his way.

On another occasion, I was expecting a five hundred dollar smartphone in the mail, that didn't require a signature.

The mailman made no attempt to deliver the package to my house, and it wouldn't fit in the mailbox, so he used a few rubber bands to attach it to the outside of the mailbox. In the pouring rain.

I wish vendors would give their customers more shipping options, especially for expensive product.

UPS & FedEx always come to my door.

Ugh, yeah that's the worst. I'm thankfully now in a newish condo building that also has oversized temporary mailbox's that can be used for large expensive items. Before, it was always that dreaded slip of paper in a place where I couldn't hear a single soul knocking on my door.
