It's nothing I can't live without, but I paid for it and I WANT it!! It shipped on the 19th, had an estimated delivery date of the 22nd and here it is the 25th and nothing!! No action on the Tracking number since it left Arizona. Yesterday, I contacted USPS thru their website but no response yet. I think I'll make a trip over to the PO this morning and see if they can find it. Dagnabbit!!!

I'm tracking a package right now that was missent to Mississippi no where near Pennsylvania! It has not moved since Jan 30Th! Honestly I've long given up on it. The only piece of vape mail that ever ended up lost. I just like to check on it out of curiosity. But it did teach me to never use first class postage, no insurance on anything you can't afford to loose. As frustrating as this is, I know it's just an odd fluke. Your package will be there soon. But always get insurance! :ohmy:

Not vape mail (fortunately) but a piece of mail was posted on Jan. 28 from a location 40 miles away, and it didn't arrive in my mailbox until Feb. 19.

A few months ago, I placed 2 orders from the same e-liquid vendor 5 days apart. They both shipped within 24 hours. The second arrived in 4 days. The first order arrived 10 days later.

I've stopped trying to figure out the USPS. :facepalm:

I dropped by the PO yesterday morning and had them check on it and the guy told me that they put the First Class mail on a pallet until it gets full and then they ship it...whenever. I won't make that First Class mistake again!! Oh well, at least I didn't have anything in my order that I can't live without for a while. Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock..............

I had something ship first class and my post man told me that it comes on a truck and not a plane. I had said that in another thread and someone told me the mail man did not know what he was talking about. It took forever for it to show up. First Class priority seems to be the way to go. Really kinda wish people would stop using the postal service to ship things. They are not reliable at all.

Mostly, I've had no problem with USPS. I've shipped and recieved a bunch of stuff and this is the first time I've had anything delayed. Maybe it's the wacky weather, I dunno. Frankly, I'm glad we have the postal system. I always enjoy my stroll down to the mailbox and look forward every day to see what's in there. I just wish my vape mail would show up.

Update: There has finally been some movement!! My package finally made it to Austin yesterday. That's 8 days from Arizona to Texas. I'll never chose First Class mail again, Priority Mail from now on. It's my own fault for trying to save a couple of bucks. I guess that's why they call it Snail Mail!!

Next time just buy enough to fill a pallet yourself and save on delivery time. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Now there's a good idea!!! Let me just throw some of this furniture to the curb so I can have room for vape gear. BTW, my vapemail did come yesterday, 8 days total for First Class mail. I've got a package coming today that I ordered Wednesday. 2 day delivery time using Priority Mail. Lesson learned!!
