Anyone Shipped Their DIY Juices?

[lilmrsyeti]

My friend left yesterday after being here for seven days. This is the friend who gave me his CC info and had me order him everything he'd need to get started into vaping and had it all shipped here where I could help him get started. Well, I had ordered him about 10 or so, premixed juices from a Vendor..he only liked 2 of them...but he LOVED just about all of my DIY juices. So, I sent him home with a couple bottles of my stuff, promising to ship him some after I can get my flavors stocked back up...anyhow...my question is, do you disclose to the PO worker that yes, you are shipping something that has Liquid in it? I know anytime I mail a regular package, they always ask if I am...and if I do tell them that yes, there is liquid in the package, do they charge more?? or what happens?

And since I'm making a subject in the DIY section...where oh where can I get my hands on some Flavour Art Shade tobacco flavoring? Every place that I can find that actually has it, is sold out, or has quit selling it all together. I did find one place that had it, but you could only buy it in 3ml bottles...and that cost more than what I was paying for 10ml.

HELP!!??

I have shipped some DIY liquid to a friend (within the US). They didn't even ASK me if there was liquid in there. It got there no problem. Just make sure to wrap it well--I actually put some silicone tape around the bottle tops before putting them in ziploc bags.

I usually have a couple of the small priority mail boxes at home (you can pick them up in the post office) and use the PO's website to pay for and print the labels here. Costs about $5, and if it fits it ships, then roll by the PO and drop it in the package slot. I know it costs a few bucks more than it normally would but it means I avoid having to get in line or talk to any of the staff there..... which is worth it in my opinion and if you aren't asked about liquid, you aren't telling any lies

I ship to my daughter all the time. Vendors ship also. There doesn't seem to be a problem.

I have shipped many e-liquids in the mail.

If they ask, I tell them yes, there is liquid, but it's wrapped really well, and will not leak. Which I believe seems to be their concern. I even told them one time that it was electronic cigarette refill liquid, they cared naught at all.

I have shipped bunches of my juices. Usually giving them away to folks who need a hand. I either vacuum pack the bottles in one of those foodsaver type thingy's or double or triple bag them in good ziploc's.

Thank you all! I'll give it a shot!

"Next!"

"Hey, how are ya? Have you lost some weight?"

"Ummm, maybe a little..."

"Lookin' good."

"Anything hazardous, liquid, or fragile?"

"Nawh, and the cheapest postage possible, please."

Hey, she lied; so why can't I? Works fer me!

BTW, I always double Zip Lok my DIY jooses for shipment.

LOL! I figured I could just say no to the liquid...but in the back of my mind, I'm thinking those PO workers just know these things already, LOL!

I looked this up on the USPS website out of curiosity. I believe if there is liquid, the USPS clerk may label the package as fragile or something similar. Most of my juice packages have that sticker on them. These posts are correct though with making sure it's wrapped good and tight and sealed. The website also says to do that with liquids. Oddly enough, the USPS does prohibit shipping tobacco and tobacco related products....hmmm....curious indeed.

That's my moto. I've had a few packages opened when delivered when I've shipped fragrances and nothing ever comes of it. As long as it's nothing hazaradious or explosive it's ignored and sent on it's way even if it is opened and inspected. I've also had a few shipments held up in customs from china but that was due to the inepitude of the customs personal in china. They would usually send the package back to the shipper and the shipper would then resend the package and then I woulld receive it. Go figure.
