In the process of getting some AVE to an international location (using a US mail forwarding service) It's a bit of a hassle at times because the postage amount to where I live can be $13-$70 dollars depending mainly on the size of the box.

I can get the mail forwarding company to 'consolidate' my package into a smaller one, but there's all sorts of extra fees for any additional work they might have to do...

Long post, I'll get to the point :)

I need someone to measure the dimensions of a 30ml Alien Visions juice bottle!....as accurate as possible (doesn't have to be extreme accurate).


Would be SUPER appreciated as it'll let me figure out what's the best box I can get for the job.

Unfortunately I can only offer you my unconditional love for this task...also - if sometime/someplace we find ourselves in a life or death situation, I will be the one to give my life for yours. (eg: perhaps we are in same airplane and it crash, starvation starts to occur as we survivors wait for rescue...just as you start getting extreme hungry I will go somewhere alone, dig a fire pit, collect some fallen tree limbs and proceed to get a good fire going. When the fire is down to the hot coals, I will walk back to where you are sitting...perhaps give you a note saying 'come along this path in exactly 40 minutes, TRUST ME ;)' Then I walk back to fire immediately where I proceed to cover my back with a fireproof safety blanket, after it's snuggly attached I settle myself down on top of the hot coals, being sure the safety blanket is providing a good seal. After sometime I pass out from the smoke and immense pain.

45 minutes after giving you the note, you apprehensively make your way towards the path and down the lane to where the firepit sits. You quickly realize what's occurred but it doesn't bother you at all (you just went through plane crash afterall and are superhungry) You sit down and feast on my succulent flesh, it's so tender and life giving that at this point you are at your happiest moment in entire life. Then 3 hours later while you are sleeping off your hearty meal you hear something in distance? Could it be helicopter! Yes! It is! You get in helicopter and go back to your family and friends and continue your life as a plane crash survivor and make 1 million dollars.

Another example : If an assassin ever was aiming a gun about to shoot you, and I happened to be nearby. I'd dive straight on the bullet, and be quite happy.


I'm really looking forward to vaping some alien visions e-juice, make my dream come true! :blush:

Thank you so much Porphy!!! :toast: You are a gentleman and an asset to humankind. Be sure to spread your genes far and wide.

I'm going to do a follow up thread somewheres (probably in the Australia subforum) and basically document my experience of using one of these package forwarding services....will be interesting to see how much cheaper it is, if at all.

I shipped 3(100ml) bottles and 6(30ml) botlles to "HopeFulll" who also lives in Australia and the shipping came out to less than $14 using a "USPS-Produced Large Video Box: 9-1/4" x 6-1/4" x 2" Maximum weight 4 pounds". Yeah it took 2 weeks but that's only because it sat in the AU customs office for most of the time. That box has the capacity to hold like 500mls or more and it uses the same Priority type of box.

Great post but I think I may have a much easier solution for you. There are a few people here on ECF who perform this 'service' for international vapers (I reside in Budapest so I feel your pain).

A little hint, try advertising what you need in the classifieds, it worked for me. I am 100% sure this will turn out to be muuuch cheaper for you...

lol glad some of you guys enjoyed the post. Some of the stuff that streams out of my head is truly strange :)

Gracias again Porphy. Managed to get a much more reasonable shipping deal thanks to your handy measuring skills. Should have my sweet goodness here before the end of the week.

Also, Thanks Pega...will most definitely be giving that a go next time. These freight forwarding companies like to add a dollar here, and a dollar there

This put a smile on my face - :)
