But won't it be fun to see how much they inflate the value of things.. they'll have a news conference where they show a $10 doggystyle... talking about how they seized hundreds or thousands of dollars Vape paraphernalia in a Cooperative initiative between the FDA the DEA the CDC and Border Patrol.. maybe they'll even make a whole separate sector of the government to cover these things
I just got an order from Florida Vapers that I had to sign for. The other half of that problem is higher shipping costs. The signature required costs a few bucks. I had been wondering why their shipping was so high, but chalked it up to the sale...
I’ve only had one other thing I had to sign for, and that was the VA Primo from U.K. stabwood early this year. But that was pricey, I’m sure that was just insurance for them so I couldn’t say I never got it.

Ugh more decanting, no thanks! I haven't even done my nic yet. I'll stick with the 16 oz bottle which should last me around 3.6 year and just keep it in a dark place.
@DeloresRose Yes I'm aware. This was more of an economical question as the gallon is a lot cheaper but if there's issues with long term storage I don't want a bottle of flavor sitting around for 29 years. Still worth repeating for all the lurkers.
Time to order some VG and some flavoring tonight!My poor credit card but these are things I actually need soon.
Still using this VG linked below. It's been great, plus it's cheap and I have Amazon Prime.

I have the Honey add on for Chrome, and the price of a quart of VG at Amazon came to $12.97
My order went from free shipping to $9.99 shipping due to the signature requirement. The sale was good, it was a substantial order, so it worked out OK. If not for the sale, it would have been a no-go.
The more you know, the more questions you think of, at least that’s how it works for me.
The sites I buy from state in the description if there’s anything daap in them. All the Cap V2 versions do not, to my knowledge, that’s why they made them. A lot of flavors were clean to begin with, it’s mostly in the bakery zone you have to watch. Anything creamy, vanilla, or buttery I look for V2.
At least I'm down to things that I would like to have rather than things that I feel a desperate need to purchase. Instead of looking at something and being like Oh my God I need that because such and such could happen I'm looking at things and saying that would be nice to have. Like it would be nice to have a tube style Mech mod it would also be nice to have a handful more RTAs since the last one I got I don't care for at all I'm hoping it will grow on me but I don't like it and I thank the heavens above that it wasn't the first one I got because I would have just given up right then.. I do
Yeah I was a bit surprised because I live 2 hours away from them and I know that Florida does not have mandatory signature laws but I got an email after my purchase saying that they're required now to have signatures maybe they mean in some areas they're required and therefore they're just doing it with everyone. I read something unrelated saying that the price of shipping Vape stuff would go up to $20 a package if they require signatures so I think I paid $7 for shipping I guess it's not terribly bad. I did think it was a bit much. The problem I have with the signature thing is 90% of the time they go to my back door and I can't open that door and by the time I get out to them.. they're pulling away... despite the fact that I always leave delivery instructions when I can.
The recently proposed legislation stops USPS from handling vape mail AT ALL. So the cost of shipping increases due to the signature requirement, and also because you would have to use UPS or FedEx. Those two options are whole 'nother PITA if you aren't home to sign and produce ID.
Oh yeah.. it's all rather ridiculous. And I think taking more money away from the postal system is a bit of a mistake as well. I wonder why these people are so hell-bent on being anti harm reduction. It's almost like they profit off of harm. I went ahead and filled out the contact your Representatives thing in regard to this Postal Service stuff. It's like they're doing everything possible to try to get people on Black Market productThe recently proposed legislation stops USPS from handling vape mail AT ALL.

I don't really like people at work knowing my business but if it came down to it, I could have my vape stuff shipped to work so it would get signed for. Before the PACT act, I used to pay around $5 for shipping on snus. Now If I order from the one place I know of in the US then it's 15-20 with adult signature. However, they carry very little variety so I usually end up buying bulk from Sweden and pay aroung $40 for shipping but it's easier to justify on a large order. I store it in the freezer with my nic. I think the people here are right about shipping from China. They may get some in customs but can't stop it all. I don't know that I've ever had vapemail from china labeled as what it actually was.
Fellow PC enthusiast of sorts? My rig's pretty hefty as well. I went from a mediocre laptop to a beast of a PC and have been amazed at how many programs, tabs etc I can have going at once. Lots of fun
Heck, I have a Chromebook and usually have 40-50 tabs open at minimum, lately more like 80 because I keep all of my order confirmations in tabs in one browser window with the tracking in a tab next to them. lol (And it's lightning fast). I use the Chromebook for my online job and have been preferring it lately to my Dell with Windows 10 and 2 drives (an SD drive for the OS/Software). Plus the battery life is 10 hours and the thing is so light. I only paid $119 for it, but paid over $1200 for the Dell.
The problem with that is if the vendor gets a large percentage of returned shipments, they may deem the US as too much of a hassle and not profitable to ship to.
places like Fasttech ship to banned countries every day.. If your shipment gets seized your out the money - not Fasttech (or other companies) (they don't refund for seizures).
So it's not a hassle for them.. It's your loss with seizures. They don't care - they make money either way. The risk is your own.
Yeah, but don't they just return the shipment? and if they do not, most people would just charge it back. And if shipments are returned, then they still need to deal with lost shipping expense (postage, packaging, labor) and then the hassle/labor of unpacking and returning the item to inventory. Even though China pays next to nothing for shipping, it still is an expense.
You still bought the item and they don't refund for seizures - this hurts them in no way shape or form.
You missed some edits... Then I would just charge it back for non-delivery of product. They would not only be out the product and the shipping, but would need to pay a charge back fee.
read Fasttech's policy..
then read your credit card policy. You think your credit card company is going to cover the cost of illegally purchased goods being seized?
Because Fasttechs policy says it's your job to know your countries laws and they don't refund for seizures..
I don't think your CC company is going to cover illegal goods.. lol
