FWIW, they just posted the following:

Due to the overwhelming response of Vapor Joe’s viewers, the first 200 orders will process immediately.

The following orders will process by the week of January 5th.

We are currently over 200!

I agree about the shipping cost being kinda high (my order was $22.54 total), but at least it's USPS Priority so it's not like they're gouging IMHO.

thats odd that my total was different than yours. juice was 15.99 and shipping was 9.90. small priority flat rate box should be about $6. i`m not complaining but its weird that our prices are different for the same item.:toast:

That's real odd. Shipping for me was $6.60, I double checked. Maybe they saw how fast it was selling and upped the shipping, but that wouldn't be right- and WOULD be gouging, to my way of thinking. Makes me want to call them out on it.:mad: Sure doesn't give me a good feeling towards them regarding future business.

I just sent them an e-mail asking why someone would be charged $6.60 for shipping and someone else $9.90. Will post back an answer when I get one.

This is the response I got from customer service:

"Priority shipping is based on weight and distance, in order to offer the awesome deal of nine 15ml bottles, we could only
use Priority shipping. I am sorry for the inconvenience. I hope that helps clear
everything up".

I never knew (or thought) priority shipping was based on where something was being sent. I would think it would be the same no matter where you live in the U.S.

I'm not going to make an issue of this only because it really is a great deal but I'd never pay this shipping amount otherwise and if that's what they charge, I'll probably never place an order no matter how good the juice is.

ok, i think i figured out the different charges for shipping. i have sold on ebay for 10 years or so and know the ins and outs of USPS shipping. they are not using flat rate boxes. any package over 13 ounces must go priority mail. the sample pack in glass bottles goes over 13 oz by a few oz and shipping is calculated by zip code zone AND weight, hence the different shipping prices. if they used small flat rate shipping boxes it would be the same charge for all 50 states. small flat rate box shipped anywhere in the US is around $6. the person running the shipping dept. don`t really know what they are doing.

After reading this In think you're right. I was getting ready to unload on them for what I first thought was gouging but it looks like just a case of incompetency, not greed. I think I'll mention this to them at some point.

Maybe its just older stock or maybe their trying to attract more business. I have no idea and was just guessing and kind of making a joke, it wasn't meant to be taken very seriously.
I'm fairly sure it's a case of drumming up business. I'm sure the huge response they got was unexpected, though. It would seem they underestimated the amount of traffic at vapor joe's where they advertised the sale. And it seems like they're still pretty wet behind the ears, judging by the shipping screw ups- this is a rookie mistake. There's no other place I get juice from that charges anywhere near $9.00 plus for shipping and I will not support them unless they rectify this.
