Customs checking shipments WITHIN the USA!?!

I'm a big Futurama Fan so it was a natural choice. Did Mr. Darcy use the avatar? I wasn't looking to avatar-jack anyone....

Yes Mr Darcy used that avatar.
I miss Mr. Darcy, I miss a lot of posters.

Customs just came to my house and siezed my e-cig stuff!!

 

[franklyspeaking]

Thanks for posting it rsngfrce..I read and interpret it exactly the way you did.

Hey, at least you hear something...

Yeah thanks for sharing the info rsngfrce!!

Nah that was just me. Surprising how much a costume shop rental and a fake badge can get you these days

its bull ...

UNLESS ... liquid leaked out. If liquid leaked out, and there was no chemical sticker/hazard *thing-a-migiger* on the envelope, it could get opened.

Funny thing...I received an order of about 200 15ml juices the other day...for one reason or another all of my chocolate flavored juices had bad caps and they leaked everywhere...my package was inspected by customs, green tape and everything...and they still let it through...go figure!

While there may be a middle man involved, why I am I not surprised that this has Janty's name on it?

King of excuses.

Yeah, so despite the title of my thread, I don't think US customers have to worry about customs seizing their orders from US suppliers... I just have to wonder if Esmoking101 really believes the Golden Gate bridge is for sale... . I had no real problems with this transaction until this point.

People backed into corners (or without explanation) are prone to say anything they think is plausible.

Good on you for not taking it at face value and posting. Who knows how much heartburn you prevented by airing this.

Well, I e-mailed Tristan of Esmoking101 and she seems to be saying now that my order will be sent from the order Janty receives from China on Tuesday or Wednesday. Maybe I misunderstood, but I'm not sure how I could have misinterpreted this, I thought she made it quite plain... I'm not really sure why my order (#8 of 25 identical orders) was choosen by Janty to be one of 3 not sent out, when later order #'s were?

Is this the order they keep saying is coming in on something like April 4th? It sounds like they just arbitrarily say something to 'get you off their backs." There also seems to be no concept of 'first in, first out.'

My experience with them is over with, but that others keep getting the runaround certainly keeps me from ever entertaining the thought of doing business with them again. Too bad, cause some of their products rock.

With the experiance we had with them over the Dura's-----forget it---Sun

For the record... I have had orders from TW (UK) take up to 3 weeks. However, most come in about ten days. When I called the USPS, they told me that US customs does "random checks" and that it may take up to 6 weeks. Never anything inside the US though. New policy?
