My package left Omaha this morning, I'm hoping it gets here tomorrow, but I'm not in a huge rush for it, I do have plenty of juice, but I am excited to try some new ones!

Cool Beans, um I mean thats cool. Hopefully it comes tommorrow, if you know when mr. postman comes around and you don't get it, please stop
in your PO with the tracking # and drivers licence. If it came a minute to late to the PO then it will be the day after.

My postman actually drives around in the morn around 9am to deliver all
the packages (knocks on the door so hard!) He then delivers the mail on foot
aound 11am-3pm.

keep us updated,

nevermind,

I checked on my order and they got right back to me.. Pretty damn good CS!! It's going out 5/7 through EMS...

Oh yeah Oh yeah, that is what im talkin bout.
It is usually 4-7 days once foreign posting.
Sit back and relax, you will get your little package.

Oh also, don't worry when it says: "handed over to customs" - this is normal procedure. Plan on the 6-7 days if it does.

I have no tracking on my first package between China and my door. I ordered it on April 3rd, it was shipped out of China on April 10 and I finally received it on May 4. My 2nd package cleared SF customs in just under 5 hours. I ordered it on April 29, it shipped out of China on April 30 and I received it on May 6.

I remember that there was a holiday from Apr third last month in China so no issues with the late shipping. But for it to take a further 24 days to reach is a little ridiculous.

I'm just happy I got it. I had emailed and they responded inside of hours. I received it about a week later.

My Hitchhikers Guide says "Don't Panic," but my most recent order has been listed as "Despatch from Sorting Center" for 3 days now. Previous orders arrived at JFK the next day. Is this any cause for concern?


But did you get your towel?
I waited a few days after mine landed at JFK. I think four days after?
Good luck!

We only get one delivery to town, we have a box at the PO, the mail only comes in at around 8am, so if it doesn't get that truck I'll have to wait till the next day. We don't get mail delivered around here, town is too small - LOL
my hubby goes by the post office on his way home for lunch.
My package is AT my post office - thats some good news for me in the middle of tons of BAD news.

I found a domestic supplier not far from me that had plenty in stock, must have gotten a new supply :). I ordered plenty from them. Seems it would be easy to order from china though which is a good thing to know. It just seems right to support domestic e-cig companies (ones that dont rip people off) because if these things are not banned, they may use good old american ingenuity and come up with a better e-cig and design in the future. I no doubt payed a fair amount more, but what the heck, we rely on china for these and everything else too much as it is. If I need to though, again, glad to see you all have no problems with china orders :)

I definitely agree and have felt a degree of guilt ordering from China. I am now even on the number of orders I've placed from US vs China suppliers. I'm willing to pay a slight premium to buy from a US supplier and the shipping usually makes up the difference. The biggest thing for me was that I simply could not find everything I wanted from US suppliers.
