Adult signature starting at Lightining Vapes

[Tommy-Chi]

Is this on all orders or only Florida orders?

Lightning Vapes may be doing this due to FDA Deeming Rules. Others may chime in with more information.

I know with UPS that if they miss you and signature is required that the notice they leave you has a spot to sign on the back. Then you leave it for them when they deliver the next day. I don't know how USPS does it if they miss you.

UPS has a free (and a paid) service where after you sign up
they'll email you anytime a package addressed to you is scheduled for delivery.
They email you several days ahead of time with a delivery time window so you can play with your schedule, and you can do a sig release online if you won't be home..and tell them what part of your house you want them to leave it

I live in FL so rarely buy from them to avoid state taxes...
but I have purchased rolls of kanthal from them several times.

Florida almost passed similar legislation as the FDA last year but didn't
which is why I'm curious.

how many of us are actually home at the time of delivery to sign?? I would have to take a day off of work to get my package...

With no guarantee you'll receive it that day. I've lost count of how many "out for delivery" packages didn't arrive to me until the next day causing me to waste time waiting around for mail.

If they think they must do this to protect themselves, that's one thing, but from this point on there should be no more than the absolute minimum of compliance, and even some token non-compliance if possible. One thing I'd like to see is an end to the "are you 18" messages when you go to a vaping website. There could be a "we can't sell to under 18" but there is no reason whatsoever that the under-age can't even look at it.

Are you being serious or funny? Why would any site want to be accessible to anyone under age even just to look?

That's required "by law". If that is removed, the site can be immediately shut down for non-compliance.

I expect we'll see an increase in companies that specialize in age confirmation, much like the porn industry has adopted. Once you confirm your age with the company, they do the actual confirmation with the businesses you wish to conduct transactions with online.

Be lots of people having to go to post office to pick up vapemail.

I'm not sure. The e-mail didn't single out Florida.
Wonder if anyone else got the notice?

I got the email as well. So it will apply to all orders, regardless of the customer's location.

What basis do they have to not allow it? Is it pornographic? Why should I have to answer one way or the other just to look? I would prefer to just click "OK" on a message saying nothing there is for sale under 18. I can live with it, just rubs me the wrong way, more than once.

And you know this how? Just kidding. Please don't hurt me.

I got the notice and I don't live in Florida. I don't even remember buying from them.

Signature release online if you won't be home won't work for adult signature required.

Ohh yes it will you have to make a special trip to the PO while they are open to retrieve the package.
And I think there is about $5 charge for the signature required thingy.

If all vendors start to do this, why couldn't I just have all my vape mail delivered to my office address? No need to have things delivered to an inconvenient location. Kills the excitement of driving home on known vape mail days, but I can live with that.
