:evil::evil::evil::evil::evil:

what the hell is going on with these so called new/best/#1/whatever suppliers?

2-3 competitors fighting with each other, offering coupons over each other and the damn coupons don't even work! (No free shipping, no discount, no price match)

ECF moderators: Please fix this child play in Canadian suppliers announcements, I'm looking for a reputable and serious supplier for my liquid needs.

I guess Nicfitnation, Vapables, Happy Vaper and couple other suppliers will always be my #1 supplier since they have been nothing but reliable, professional and courteous with me.

Am I the only one seeing this crap? what are your thoughts?

I see whats going on and am sitting it out. I haven't personally dealt with them and can not say one way or the other how I feel.
Being competitive is part of business, I have dealt with a supplier for a long time who asked to be contacted prior to purchasing from another shop to be given the opportunity to see if he could price match. Because of this I will still send him whatever business I can.
Great opportunity to take advantage of the discounts being offered but I already found the juice(VG) I like elsewhere, might cost a bit more but I am going to still shop there since he now carries most of the hardware I like(one stop shop) thus saving me money overall(no more multiple shipping/one delivery to wait for).
With more shops opening up all the time the competition is getting stronger plus more people are growing aware of the direct from manufacturer shops as well , which can be good and bad sometimes.

To all our Canadian suppliers. I wish you success in your adventure into supplying us with the goods we crave/need/want in a timely and quality manner.

All the best, Happy vaping,
Wing.

Chill out! Coupons at Evapers work, I just placed an order.

Vendor wars = good for customer:D

Edit: Bolded = yup! I just wished Jack would supply nic juice, but understand and support his business decision.

I don’t see anyone fighting on the boards, at least not for a while. haha. Just for the record, we have not claimed to be the best or #1 supplier. What is going on with it, is you are getting more selection and better prices. I really do not know why anyone would complain about this unless they had an invested interest in one of the original suppliers.
As for evapers price match, I thought it was a good move for him. After all, he has been supplying Canadians for a while now and it only helps everyone with prices. Hey wait a minute, I hate it too. this will cost me money too! Yikes!
IF a coupon code is not working, by all means, contact the vendor. I have yet to have one person tell me a coupon is not working; I hope they are all working.

As for my posts in the announcements, I have stopped putting the pictures up as a good friend advised me to keep it short and sweet. I was really excited to share all these new products that we have.

I'm not complaining about the deals, just confused to what coupon to use and when. I see the competition going on and loving it too since the better prices the more I save however not always the best deal in the long run when it becomes a hassle to purchase from them. When I try to use a coupon it never works and I end up paying full price or I just give up. To me it just seems like false advertisement to discourage people from going to the first deal that came up "just business I guess".

Well I shouldn't have posted this as this will turn into a weird convo and my intentions were not to flame any supplier or person. (Just please fix your damn coupon before rushing to post shortly after another supplier)

Thanks

I must have missed it, all I see is businesses responding to changes to the marketplace. I don't see any child play or fighting. I can also speak from personal experience with my dealing with Rob at Evapers. He never claimed to be infallible and things do happen systems don't always work as expected. I can say that Rob has always treated me in a courteous, friendly and professional manner. Any vendor can have issues from time to time but it's how the vendors addresses and rectifies those issue that I usually measure a vendor by.
I am sure if you're patient that they will work out any issues. In the meantime might I suggest that you order 24 or 36mg juice to sooth the nerves a bit more. :toast:

We need MORE Canadian suppliers IMHO. We have lots of vendors for Dekang Juices, The Silver Bullet/ eGo/ 510/ 901/ m401 but I have yet to see any Canadian Made MODs. I want to build one and produce one myself (Maybe call it the Beaver?) but I have no lathe or cash, etc. Otherwise i'd be vapin on a Beaver right now (OK scratch the name, it sounds too suggestive)

Anyway I would love to buy a Canadian made MOD from another Canuck regardless of how suggestive or sexual the name is.

And also, perhaps selling something OTHER than a 510 and Dekang?

Just my two cents.
Yup! with my $0.03 we are up to a nickel :)

The long and the short, if you are going to survive in this industry, you need to:

  • offer variety;
  • competitive pricing;
  • reasonable shipping or free shipping; and
  • have sufficient variety to permit one stop shopping.
When I order, I order large. I do not patronise establishments that do not have everything I seek. It is juts the way I do business. The reason for the later, exorbitant shipping costs.
