I must be the luckiest person alive when it comes to shipping and postal services.

In the three years I have been vaping, I have never had...
--Any order get lost
--Any order take an inordinate amount of time
--Any China order take more than two weeks

In fact, I've had China orders arrive in one week, which blew my mind.
And I have always used the cheapest option available for shipping.

I like being me!

I've ordered from two China sites numerous times and have never been disappointed! If I recall correctly, the longest shipping time was 16 days. In most cases, I received my orders within 10 days using the free or cheapest options.

Maybe you're too close to da 'northern border'...

I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the time of the year. This is the first e-cig type order I've placed from china but I have ordered other things and it's always been a week or two max.

This time of the year is the worst for China Mail. Can you imagine the billions of parcels passing through the mail service?
I've also always been lucky ordering from China, most stuff usually arrives within in a week with China Mail and HK Mail. EMS a few days. I have recently had two shipments with China Mail that took about three weeks though. I buy a lot from China. Not only ecigs, stuff for my several other hobbies and from eBay etc.
I never had a parcel get lost in all the years and hundreds of shipments, except one. A $2 item that had free shipping and using China Mail. I ordered in October... not received yet.

I think one's local country's shipping is important too... Many countries put parcels from China Mail to lowest priority. So even if it was posted timely from China and wasn't delayed too much internally, and arrived there in the US, but then messed around locally, and/or you live in the sticks. Add on weather conditions..... it would be delayed getting to your door!

Chinese New Year begins on Sunday, February 10, 2013

personally i have ordered fom health cabin and zainy several times and had the package in less then two weeks. I do know the election over there has affected or disrupted shipping.

it will effect the postal there starting around Jan 20th,,a lot of the sites there post that on their front page
