Flat Rate shipping is a crock IMO.. Only order some attys and the actual shipping is like, $1.50? Yup, $5.50 profit for the seller. And please, nobody chime in with "order a lot to justify shipping" because that doesn't work with domestic :)

When I order from them it shows up in a USPS Priority Flat Rate box. That's like, $5 right? So it seems to me they *might* actually be making $2 from the order. All I know is it gets here fast.:toast:

Flat rate boxes are $5.. doesn't justify a $7 charge. Especially when the boxes are free. I deal with this kind of thing constantly on ebay. People toot their low prices, then more than make up for it with unfounded, ridiculous shipping costs.

Wow, you're being grumpy because they make $2 on their shipping? :facepalm:

No...it's more the fact that they are charging $7 for something that can be shipped in a freaking bubble-mailer for like $2.

If I were ordering like 50 cartomizers, that's a different story. Those need to go in a box. But to order 5 and try them and have to pay $7 for shipping is a tad ridiculous.


That being said, I'm excited to try them...as soon as 316lvm gets them, she'll be sending me a few.

I would totally agree that all sellers need to provide an option for reg mail using bubble package for like 2 bucks.. I think if consumers demand that this happen, it will.. I can't see the reason that this isn't now offered. A Couple of Attys and they can't be sent in a cheaper way? Come on now.. Start demanding it....

We ship everything via priority mail 2-3 day, flat rate box which does cost more than a regular envelope.

We selected this shipping method because it's the quickest and most reliable way to make sure everyone gets their packages, with a tracking number, and within a reasonable amount of time. To date we have not had a single lost or late shipment with this service.

With this shipping method if your package does get lost we all have the opportunity to track it down and hold the post office accountable. We all know USPS is pretty good at loosing mail from time to time and they can be extra slow with regular mail. Especially when you want the items NOW.

Personally, when I shop online I don’t mind paying a little extra to know I’m getting it in 2-3 days guaranteed and have the ability to track it online.

If we go with regular mail there is no tracking, no guarantee and it will take longer.

Having said that, we aim to please and are willing to do a trial run of regular mail as an option during checkout. We can see if it will be a reliable shipping method moving forward. Orders under $50 now have a first class mail option for $2.95.

Cost over actual shipping goes to pay for shipping supplies and hard working Americans who process, pack, and chase after the mailman when he gets lazy and doesn’t come into the warehouse to pickup. In our case, this is 5 days a week. :mad:

We are almost out of cartos on this second round and will be buying in even larger quantities to meet more discounts. We just talked with our supplier last night and worked out a lower price on the next batch... We are happy to pass this savings along and make it retro active for what we have left. They are still more than the regular cartos due to being a new item and custom made. The good news is these cartos are proving to hold up very well and outlasting the typical cartomizer.

I’m still using the same one from 14 days ago.

Just add $7 to everything you sell and offer free priority shipping.

They'll still buy.

FWIW...I don't have an issue with $7 priority shipping. I think $2 is more than a reasonable charge to cover your printer maintenance, ink, paper and tape used to make and attach labels, not to mention a small charge for the labour involved also.

Hey Doots, thanks for standing up with an option. I personally would place many more orders from different vendors if it weren't for the high shipping.

Pro360, thank you for listening to the masses. Your shipping was a bit much, so hope the product lives up to your standards. Still waiting for my order to arrive, so priority isn't all that fast.

Provape that rocks to start offering the choice of lower shipping!! Thank YOU very very much.

FYI whenever I ship something I do pay the 80 cents extra first class for tracking usually..cost no more then 3.00..sometimes it juice ..sometimes atties..amazing how much you can pack in a bubble envelope. Now speed never KNOWN priority to be faster then a day max! Most time same day delivery as first class.

Dang budget! I want more! my first cartomizer is still going..been so long I am willing to lose it to my ego with the CONE. OHHHHHHHhhhh I hear those cones can kill an LR atty hehe. So far..so good on my LR cartomizer from day one hehe.

Disection hasn't occured yet for the one I did lose on a 180mah bat. I still havent figured out how to test an atty with my meter lol I gotta look for the info before dissection to be sure it's really dead...hehe yes the cartos are that good..dont want to finish off the little fella if he just has a clogged artery or sumthin hehe

Hark do I hear Clumsy coming? hhahaha sent her a sample too and she is loving it. Got it today..bet ya she shows up here soon lol.

OK Thy- the offer still stands for you as long as I have 7 in stock ; ) Jan you too!

Thanks for the kind offer, B, but hopefully my order will be delivered today. I agree with you, envelopes I have sent first class with confirmation and also received are just as fast as priority.

BTW, I use my eGo cone with LR atties and have not yet *knock on wood* lost a one. Sure does give a good warm draw.

Yep, I had looked at these on Provape's site several weeks ago when they were mentioned here and wasn't going to pay 7 bucks shipping either so I left the site. My two main suppliers have free shipping for orders over 15 bucks. If they can do it so can Provape. I'll take another look now that there is another option.

Are these soft, removable caps? Do they have a clear silicone spacer under the cap? If so it leaves less room for batting and thus less juice. Do they have .... plugs included? They make refills easier and less messy.
