Did the USPS lose my order for a couple of days?

Hopefully it's at least showing on track. I knew one poor person on here who's package went to Puerto Rico for vacation before showing up. :shock:

One of mine went through Antarica ...

but then I quit messing with David and changing my orders in mid-stream and it hasn't happened since.

I heard you like Caramel Apple?

It's 120ML of Caramel Apple! I already killed my sample and the 24MG nicotine in the juice makes me dizzy. It was so worth it!

I found the best way to decide if you really like something is to vape it first thing in the morning. I wasn't as impressed with it at first. Once I vaped it first thing in the morning, I found it amazing.

So, to answer your question... eh. It's alright.

HA!

Well, I really hope it comes today. It probably just sat around USPS for a while. I remember getting an email from David shortly after the order that it was being shipped.

USPS gets away with sloppy tracking by only actually guaranteeing delivery confirmation. The detailed tracking is a freebie we get most of the time but not a guarantee. Detailed tracking confirmation actually slows the process down. They will tell you at the Post Office if you want something to get there quicker, don't use certification.

Naturally that sounds like nonsense and you would be inclined to ask them to repeat it to make sure you heard it right, but this is the USPS:confused:

Davon, the Post Office knows your juice needs to steep a little bit and they are just trying to help you out. They know that if you get it before it has time to age, you'll just vape the hell out of it without giving it time to reach its full flavor, and that would be a true disservice to you. They have only your best interests in mind, and are trying to save you from yourself.

The Post Office...those guys are all heart.

I heard that the USPS uses some of the most complicated electronics known to man. :matrix: NOT!

Actually, my postal carrier looks like he is always stoned. Every time I ask him if he has a package for my place, he stops like he is thinking about the answer and then never answers. He just says, "Come back in an hour and check then.". Today, I asked him if he shaved his beard. He stopped what he was doing, looked like he was thinking for about 10 seconds, grinned and rubbed his face for a few seconds. Then he said, "yeah". After that he completely disengaged from the conversation. It was weird!

Sounds like he'd fit right in here in East Texas.

You'll get one e-mail that says your package is at the Post Office for shipping, and later, you'll get another one that has a tracking number in it. That's the one that shows your package is being shipped and is in transit. The tracking number will usually only tell you when the package arrives at your Post Office.

Funny thing about the USPS is as much as we complain I think they really are better than UPS. I ordered 2 pairs of Air Jordan's a couple weeks ago, both on the same night. One pair was Nike Retro Jordan VIs from Eastbay, and the other pair was Jordan V knock offs straight from Shanghai, People's Republic of China. The pair from Eastbay came through UPS from Wisconsin and the other pair from China through priority mail EMS and USPS. The crazy thing is both pairs arrived on the same day both took about a week and a half. The Chinese knock-off pair so far seem to be pretty well made too and much cheaper only $65 including shipping. It's amazing how much they actually look like the Nike's of 20 years ago too.

The mail system has tested my patience more than once. Recently we sent priority mail to MN and it usually arrives in about three days. It left AZ - went to California - and SAT THERE for almost 2 weeks. Then it left CA and went to Michigan and sat for 3 or 4 days. From there it finally went to Minnesota.

Yes, it was addressed correctly. Yes, the package arrived without any tearing or damage. Sometimes strange things happen with the postal system. I don't have an explanation and neither did they when we questioned them about this situation.

Can you borrow some juice from someone if you are running low?

Go figure. Well, I guess this means it was aged at the USPS for a few days. HA!

I got my process thru Arizona notification it went thru on the 13th at 8:53pm and here it is late Thursday the 18th and still no package, hope its not going to Antactica!

I had a package that went thru Arizona as of 11-13 and it finally hit Baltimore this am.....WOOHOOT! Hoping for its arrival on Monday...
Did you all get yours yet?

Yup. It is steeping now! I did tap into it the other day though. Steeped juices vape so much better than non-steeped. Its amazing the difference between my Cappuccino Smooth (2 weeks steeped) and the Caramel Apple (Almost a week).

Actually, I just order 120ML of Cappuccino Smooth so, that should be leaving today.

I got my order today too. (left AZ on the 12th too) Whew, that was a long wait. It did teach me to order with plenty of juice left!

Btw....my first time trying Hypnotic Mist and may I say ...."AAAAhmazing!!!" One thing I've noticed is that no two people describe it in the same way. C-R-A-Z-Y good.

So....when's the next big size sale? =D

That's the good thing with shipping companies. You don't have to pay extra for the headaches. They are always free.
