Are you done stocking up?

Podstick 2nd contest win and another 100 ml of prohibition Ridin' Shotgun arrived at home today (I'm still in COS, heading home tomorrow). Ridin' Shotgun is good stuff, if a yellow cookie/pudding flavor fits within your profile. I mix it with some of my vanilla cream DIY - love it [emoji3]

Just won a 3avape contest, Rui Starter Self-fill Pod Kit. It'll show whenever [emoji3]

Rui and the Podstick will likely both drop onto the PIF pile. I continue being happy with the little renova zero for stealthy use. Not a leaker, good flavor, decent warmth.

If a supplier has ECF presence, try IMing them if an order has gone seriously overdue. By definition they are kind of focused on keeping people on forums saying positive things. I don't complain about total time taking around a month (unless you want to pay for DHL shipping, which is indeed fast), but if something shows in stock and doesn't ship within a week or so it's fair to reach out to them. I'll usually try an online ticket first, give it 2 business days, then reach out to the ECF person if there's no satisfactory response.

I placed a small order directly with Geek vape on Dec. 24th. I was trying supposedly active coupon code (don't know if it's the one you've been trying), but I could not get it to work at all. I gave up and placed the order anyway and it was a small inexpensive order.

I didn't get a email confirmation or shipping notices. Just my PayPal email receipt from PayPal for making the purchase.

The status is marked as complete on my account page w/ Geek vape but the package is just sitting in China. They may be trying to outdo FT on slow processing and shipping.

EMS - processed through facility. That tends to be the last thing you see until it emerges from US Customs. That took 3 1/2 weeks for my last FT order, which hit my mailbox today.

I always wondered. Maybe they are sitting on the airport in China waiting for a shipping box to get filled up. Or they get loaded on a ship. I always thought it was a ship just because there seems to be a minimum time of around 10 days. If it was waiting on a shipping container for a plane then at least some of them should make it over more quickly, right?

I wish there was some intermediate tracking info. Like the ship has sailed, or arrived at US Customs. The black hole of information is frustrating.

when my Armageddon was lost at Florida’s USPS location (which I cannot file a claim for a refund nor will the people at FL Vapor Supply offer me any compensation, or any sympathy whatsoever

As an American consumer with an American credit card (and even some debit cards), you have all the power. It doesn't matter what the retailer's policy is. What matters is the policies of the credit card associations are (Visa, MC, AmEx, Dics). No proof of delivery means you get your money back. When a retailer takes credit cards, they are forced to adopt the policies of the credit card associations.

The retailer can say differently but at the tend of the day, they have to abide by policies set for by the banks. If they don't, it will be forced upon them and they will have to pay an administration fee on top of it.

If you file a dispute with your credit card, even if you are just a crook trying to get free stuff and the merchant wins the dispute, the merchant STILL has to pay an administration fee just because a dispute was filed. It can also eventually affect their credit card processing rates if a merchant gets too many disputes in a certain amount of time. Vape merchants can be especially vulnerable because vape is a "high risk" product/transaction category. Just like firearms, just like adult products, just like casinos.

Just a little bit irritated that they made me ship to my billing address. I really hate that, I wonder if I can change my credit card's billing address to my work address so I never have to worry about that again.

Check with you credit card company. You may be able to add it on as a secondary address. Tell them your problem and what you need and they should be able to assist you with a solution, usually.

H8Vape just sent out a notice about shipping delays. This isn't a response to my last ticket, it's an email they seem to be sending everyone with an order that hasn't shipped...

The bold and colored text is my doing.

Dear Valued EightVape Customers,

We genuinely apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced regarding delays in processing your order. We have prioritized all December backorders, which were first delayed by out-of-stock items.

At this time, we are working to complete shipping all December orders first, by the end of the week (possibly Monday if not completed Friday). Tracking information will be available within 72 hours of the shipment of your order.

Some of the items may have recently come back in stock, and due to the possibility of items still being out of stock, we will have to cancel those items and process a refund. If needed, please allow 5-7 business days for the refunds to process back to your account.

We know that this ordeal may have been frustrating for some of you and want to offer this 1 time use code for a $10 discount on your next order: 10OFFJAN
This code is limited and will expire on January 31, 2020. You must be logged in to your account to use it.
**Please note that promotions, discounts, sales, codes and any other offers may not be combined. Promotions have no cash value. Offer cannot be sold or bartered.

If you've paid for expedited shipping please be aware that it does not apply to processing time, specifically for unexpected situations such as these. Your expedited shipping will still be applied to the order, and begins from the moment the package is picked up for delivery.

We appreciate our customers, and their patience during this unexpected delay. If you have already received your tracking info or your order, please disregard this message.

EightVape emailed a shipping notice about two hours ago for the two Vaporesso Revenger X 220W Kit (Green) which I ordered 10-days ago.

I ordered one green revenger on the 24th 16 days ago and I have nothing. That’s what’s making me mad...they are filling orders made after mine and then telling me oops sorry out of stock.

I think they are just really disorganized and winging it. It's a wonder anything gets shipped at all lol

Or they are playing eenie, meenie, mynie, moe.

Maybe they've got new stock in. Keep checking your inbox.

EDIT: Checked their site. They're showing the greens in stock, but only green. Sounds good for you and others waiting for their green Revengers.

For any inquiring minds, an NRG tank may not like a 3' drop onto a tile bathroom floor [emoji3]

The actual tank, and the Armour Pro are absolutely fine, but the glass gave up.

Looks like I'll be running the Zero tonight and tomorrow [emoji106]

They held orders with out of stock items. Then the longer they held them, more things went out of stock. Instead of filling orders as first come first serve as they should, they filled the easy orders first with no out of stock items in them.

I do not see the green revenger X in stock. None of my items are in stock now.

Not on my PC.

Not on mine either now. Wow, that didn't last long.
Always the optimist (not really), maybe they realized they had too many back ordered to be offering more.

 

[Haktuspit]

Just did a total coil count of everything I have everywhere: 255 boxes of coils Some have 3, some have 4, most have 5 in the box.

So my nic and my coils will outlast me. Especially since I have a lot of RTAs that will probably never leave the house and therefore will last a long time.

I always wonder what in the world we would see if our packages had a camera on them showing current dates and locations from processed through facility until it lands at U.S. customs? Then we'd know what really takes so long!

A few years ago I had a FT package take 2 weeks AFTER it left customs. Watching it crisscross the US 4 times before it got to Louisiana was much cause of jokes between the hubby and I. It was sort of a "Where's Waldo today?" game.

No kidding! I'd be bonkers for sure if that happened to me!

No they have their own coils called the Breeze coils. 99% positive the Breeze and the Breeze 2 take the same coils. Come in 0.6, 1.0 and 1.2. The 1.0 spit juice in my mouth just a little bit, have never tried the 0.6 and the 1.2 has been a solid performer for at least 3 weeks.

You can buy them anywhere I'm just giving you a link so you know what to look for... I know you don't like shopping MVS. I've also found them at 8vape and vaporL but again I don't think you shop at those places.
