*cries* the mail man made me cry...

[Amy the Addicted Nurse]

Yeah, this is definitely the most friendly forum I've ever been a member of. I don't think I've seen a single nasty or mean-spirited post on here yet! And I sympathize with your mail woes. To me there is almost nothing more frustrating than not getting an expected package on time!!

yeah my mail man laughed at me pretty hard cause I kept saying "go check there's two packages, I need that other package, look again" LOL he promised he'd hit my house as early as possible tomorrow so *crosses fingers*

Never pay for a Priority Mail upgrade from First Class Mail. Both services are the same - the difference is weight. First class is small stuff (like the bottles of e-liquids). Priority Mail is for heavier stuff. For those packages, the options are Parcel Post or Priority Mail (First Class). So, the only time there's an increase in speed of delivery is when you choose Priority Mail instead of Parcel Post.

I see some of these sites offer Priority Mail upgrades and I wonder if they realize how the mail system works. lol After being on eBay for 14 years, I sadly know the ins and outs of shipping!

OP - I totally feel your pain! I waited what felt like FOREVER for my Green Smoke. Sent that bad boy back when I found a $40 EXACT replacement (saved myself $100!). Plus the new supplier got it to me in 3 days (Priority Mail). He ships same day! As does my liquid supplier. I couldn't ask for better!

thanks for that info cause I did in fact upgrade for the package that didn't come today...wait yesterday (3rd shift I'm always confused) so I'll know better from now on. Why don't they offer fedx/UPS? I know they are more expensive but I would have paid for next day on this one for sure...other things can wait LOL. I'll sleep til about noon and be waiting on the mail man...don't think he'll laugh much if it doesn't come tomorrow. I wouldn't be mean at all, not his fault but he will have a weepy crazy woman on his hands and I'm sure he'd rather not ya know.

On the bright side, when it gets here you'll have lots of juices to try

you're not kidding, I kept smelling my juices and man do they smell good had to keep reminding myself that it's not good to actually drink them. even my husband who is a full out wintergreen man said he wanted to try my cheese cake...over my cold dead body LOL ok maybe I'll let him try a few hits off mine. I'll never get any sleep if it does come today cause I'll be playing with it so much. I think my son (7) is just as excited as I am!

Amy, it sounds to me that your mailman deserves a severe spanking. You should threaten him with a spanking. I'm not usually in favor of this type of punishment, but in some situations (such as not being able to vape on time), it seems appropriate.

For those in the USA who wish to whine about the USPS and their mailman...a cautionary tale.

We live in northern Mexico, about six hours (by road) south of the Texas border, on the Gulf coast. The domestic mail service here sux bigtime - so much so that no one uses it for anything serious. For example, letters to Monterrey (a city about the size of Houston, TX) take three weeks to get to us - in Tampico, just 5 hours by road and a major industrial center. I guess they must still be using donkeys. Express Mail? Yeah, we have it...I suppose they just hit the donkey a little harder.

International mail? Fuhgeddabouitit!! Everything (other than private carriers like FedEx, DHL etc) goes via the central Customs hub in Mexico City where it is either opened, rummaged through, broken, stolen or has extortionate amounts of tax and duty demanded before it will be released.

We keep a private mailbox in McAllen to recieve all internet purchases - Amazon, E-Bay and the like - and we get up there every three months or so. Now with my new 'hobby' I can see I will have to think ahead and stock up a little!

 

[bikergoth]

I hate that!! yesterday I was expecting 2 packages, both from different vendors...both tracking numbers said it they were out for delivery...mailbox only had 1 box!! tracking had been updated to "undeliverable"....so now im off to the post office with a big ol bag of WTF!!

 

[bstedh]

I do wish the vendors would switch to UPS as they can get volume discounts for how much the process. Or at least have that option. For some stuff I would be willing to pay a couple of extra dollars to !Know! when it will arrive.

Waiting is the worst part. Just hang in there, you'll vaping in no time.

That's a bummer - because that's what I did on one of my last orders because my juice was so low. Thanks for the tip. Learned my lesson.

I have the problem that I work nights and have trouble keeping track of what day it is, so I checked the mail, and no new attys, so I was cursing "damn Totally Wicked, why did I say on ECF that their delivery times were good??!?!?!?" I then realised it was Monday today and I had ordered Friday evening. I was convinced it was the middle of the week! Wishful thinking...

@ ditch.the.pack, Yes it came Saturday morning and I am officially smoke free since Sat @ 1:45pm! And I haven't once wanted an analog...and I've got an open +full pack just sitting here on the kitchen shelf. The only thing I'm a little disappointed about is the strength of my juices, I know they probably need steeping but they just are not strong enough for me...I'm looking into places that do double or triple shots of flavoring!
Thanks for checking in on me, this is the greatest forum ever!

Oh my gosh you make me squirt seltzer water outta my nose (yes I'm too upity for coke ) yeah the guy we've been getting the last few weeks does looks spanking worthy It came Saturday and I'm now a vaping fool, free of analogs for 2 days in about an hour

I find it funny that I have such a hard time keeping up with the days cause I only work 2 nights a week and the rest of the week I home school my son so you'd think I could keep up with it better

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

Army.....freedomsmokesusa does double and triple flavors....the option is a drop down box.

sas

 

[Winkos]

Awww....sorry Amy. Keep up the good work on quitting the analogs. My friend who is an LPN bought an e-cig and keeps bumping from that to analogs. I know once she gets a good e-cig (not the mall one she has) she will be on her way. I think you will be too. BTW- as a former smoker who put on weight since I quit four years ago I have found that vaping satifies my urge to snack at night. Actually satifies me in many ways by reducing my stress levels. Love your Atavar!

One of my co-workers works three nights a week and he has trouble keeping up with the days too!
