Package received!!
So it took 7 weeks.
After numerous loops in China, it went 30 days with no updates, so I was growing concerned.
The posts here showing items received after much longer times helped though.
Was a larger-than-normal $$ order, so glad to see it finally arrive.

Good to Hear. I sure Hope my order is right behind Yours.

Because watching it go Around and Around (and Around) is getting Old.

I don't know which is worse.Watching it go round and round or getting someone else's tracking number and wondering if MY order is riding a Chinese unicorn through Beijing.

The Wrong Tracking Number is Worse.

By having My package do the ZHENGZHOU Loop 17 Times, I have been Teaching myself Simplified Chinese by Not translating the tracking info. Kinda like doing Flashcards everyday.

The downside is I only know how to read a few phrases like "arriving at Zhengzhou Exchange Station" and "return, note: security return".

But I'm trying to look on the Bright Side.

Just another update to my previous posts.

I did receive my second FT package today and I am in possession of it, so the USPS estimate was spot on and it was delivered when they said it would be. I've now received both of my packages and my ordering is done for this time.

In the future I will just plan ahead further to be prepared for any situations, including viruses, zombie outbreaks, world war etc., and I will have plenty of coils to keep me happy.

I did both; created a ticket, and a thread on the forum using@anniepan in the title. Annie initially responded then passed me off to Anna.
Here's my ticket number:

It's here, it's here, taken from the 4th March till today the 24th June (nearly the 25th in half an hour) but it's in Auckland NZ. I live in North Auckland. Once they clear customs it's usually pretty straight forward, so zippity doo dah, zippity day. Ofcourse I have no idea what their back log is like but at least it's in the country. There is another lady on this here forum that has a parcel on the same aircraft too, wonder if our parcels sat and chatted:toast: on the long haul. yay, yay, yay.

I keep looking at new mods and other hardware. I browse for what's on sale. I don't really need new hardware, but in the face of the unknown I feel like I need to stockpile more for the future. Who knows what will be banned besides the juices that kids like. I vape DIY unflavored about 80% of the time and only on occasion do I vape flavors.

I'm not really seeing many mods that are priced to make me jump. Under $50 for a new mod and I'll consider it. When you already have a box full of mods and are searching for overkill items to stuff in an apocalypse box you can be picky about price.

It's nearly midnight here, going to bed and play my favourite song...NAT KING COLE......WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD, read my book, nite all, or should say GOOD MORNING for some of you, see you later, HUBBA, HUBBA, good news! :banana:

That is a classic,but in these dark times that we are forced to live in prefer something that will make me chuckle or at least a¡ medium size smile,we all could use some of that:
