Thanks for the heads up on the shipping. I don't know why but the shipping charges always bother me. I guess it would be worth it if I placed a large order.

The reason their shipping is so high is because they use an international express courior. You usually get your package in 3/4 days and rarely passes customs.

To be clear, the EMS delivery service does go through U.S, customs EVERYTIME. I have never had a shipment in customs (NY and LA) for more than one day, so far. Airmail is cheaper but much slower. If you decide to place an order over $50 or so, the shipping is not really an issue. The best course of action is to follow the recommendations of the vendor for the best shipping method that will likely get to you without problems.

Well, they must not check it then. When I track any order it goes from EMS to the USPS the same day of delivery when it lands in NY. Not once is it tracked that it is in customs. Maybe I'm just lucky so far.

Rob at goodprophets.com has good prices on liquid $14.99 for 30 ml bottles and orders over $20 get free shipping and he ships QUICK , I'm talkin 2 days in your hands quick. Just a thought.

Not bad, but if I order the 500ml, and add shipping costs, I get it for less than $10.00 for 30ml. That saves me quite a bit of $$. I'm not out of juice, so a few extra days is no big deal.

Thanks Big Jim. Good to know. I was going to order 500ml, and although there have been no Customs issues, the thought was in the back of my head for a large amount of juice.

Yeah, I noticed tonight they now offer 500 ml bottles. Something like that should last you months. :p That's like what, 16-17 30ml bottles worth?

Yup - And since I'm doing 18mg, I cut the 36mg in half. So we're looking at over 30 bottles. We'll, two of us vaping in the house, so 16 - 17 for each of us.

It always goes through customs, trust me. There are no exceptions. There should even be a "customs claims" list on the paper attached to the package delivered to you. I have, however, noticed that when a package arrives in the US at the New York ISC, usps.com does not actually show the time it spends in customs (in my experience). This is likely due to an anomaly in the USPS's computer systems. But if the package arrives at the San Francisco ISC, the time spent in customs is detailed in the tracking information. However, it never spends very long in customs.

Btw, I've had nothing but good luck with bestecig. It is $16.90 (last I ordered, anyway) for up to 500g, but even if I order only 2x 35 ml bottles, I'm still getting a better deal, shipping costs included, than just about any other site out there. And I love their flue cured and cola flavored liquids. They're both great.
