Don't ever rely on USPS Delivery Confirmation as a method of tracking your parcels point to point.

All it takes is one inept employee munching on a ham sandwich forgetting to scan your package to throw the whole thing off.

That's true I know it can happen. I just really hope it''s here this Friday. I haven't been this excited about an order in quite some time!

My order placed on Sunday Dec. 2 is now "In preparation." I'm guessing it will ship tomorrow.

I've been very lucky with USPS. USPS Priority Mail always gets to me fast. I deal with some vendors that offer only Priority Mail for shipping. The absolute worst shipping I've ever experienced are the different UPS solutions that combine UPS with USPS contract handling. How bad do these suck? Well, last summer I ordered a nice leather cell phone case from an outfit in southern California. It shipped on one of the UPS/USPS hybrid plans. The package arrived here in northern California 10 days after shipping. I figured out the mileage over time and discovered that the package traveled at an average of just under 3 MPH. They could have hired people walking on foot and beat that time.

Ordered batteries 12-2, payment accepted, no word on "processing" or "shipped" yet, but I'm patient!:blink:
I know you are patient, but...

Go to your Order Confirmation e-mail from 101 Vape. On the bottom of the message click on "My account."

This will take you to the 101 Vape site. Log in.

Go to "Order history and details."

Order history page will show up. My status says "Preparation in progress." Yesterday I believe the status was "payment accepted" or something like that.

I ordered a ton of stuff from various places between Thanksgiving and Cybermonday. I only got one package in so far. Just got a confirmation of shipping from 101vape today and I ordered on Black Friday. I figure they were back logged. I'm sure it's on the way. From what I've read here, they seem to be reliable.

Got the shipping notice. My package is on the way and has a scheduled delivery on Monday.

Good news! Mine is supposed to be here tomorrow according to the tracking number. I can't wait! I wonder if the post office gets it this afternoon if I can go pick it up...hmm. Tomorrow is going to be a pretty busy day for me. Either way I'll make some time for it. I figure I should probably make sure it has a full charge before using it? I am pretty .... when it comes to keeping my batteries charged and usually don't even let them get down 1/2 way. I will most likely charge the MVP every night either way.

I've not had too much trouble with that hybrid. UPS generally just ends up skipping the USPS delivery and bringing it straight to me. FedEx and USPS on the other hand, UGH! I ordered from a place that is roughly 1hr and 20 minutes from me, and it took 9 days to get here.

My MVP had a full charge when it arrived. I used it for 2-3 days before I plugged it in for the first time, and I'm pretty vape happy. You likely won't need to charge it every night either.

Your post made me curious about the 3 MPH shipper I experienced so I checked the e-mail trail. That was in September. It wasn't a UPS/USPS hybrid. The guilty party was a DHL/USPS hybrid.

I got my shipping notice yesterday, saying delivery by the 9th, but checking the tracking, I wouldn't be surprised if it got here tomorrow or Saturday. Was in San Diego early, early this morning which means Phoenix by late evening, early morning and on the truck for here. *More than likely*
I know a bit about "postal hubs" from a lot of shipping and receiving the last 24+ years with "live" shipments. But we shall see.:?:
 
The Fedex USPS Hybrid is the worst deal in the world. Good shipping to Naknek, AK rated in speediness and spendiness is: Alaska Air Forwarding Counter to Counter, AAF Goldstreak, AAF Econo Air, UPS Red, UPS Blue, USPS Express / USPS Priority (Express and Priority are pretty much the same once it hits Anchorage.)

UPS Ground is not so great. If they send it FedEx then it will be hybrid, and you may as well consider yourself lucky to receive it in any amount of time under a year.

To the OP's original post. I placed an order with 101Vape during the black friday deal and I got a shipping notice email on the Fourth. Apparently they had shipped it on the Third, but didn't bother emailing me until the Fourth. I'm actually impressed, I wasn't expecting shipping until the Fourth of Fifth due to the insanity of the weekend while closed.
