Look at post #12 here.

Lu

AH! ok, i see! funny, i Google his sight and check the site cache and found the number. gave him a call and got the skinny...

first, he dropped the ph# from the site because people were texting him every 5 minutes, and appearantly he didn't want them to text, just call. (?)
anyway, he also said that that due to the high volume of orders, he is no longer taking orders through the site for quantities of more than 5. although, if you call or email him and make arrangements firsthand he will process your order.
i expained about the site snafu and he apologized and stated he had made some changes this morning that should have reflect the new ordering info, but was unaware that the drop box did not reflect this and that he'd correct this ASAP.
all in all sounded like a decent enough guy, genuinely concerned about custom satisfaction and all. i'd feel comfortable ordering through him.

I'm glad you were able to get him and it worked out for you....helps us too to know someone is there if you need. So did you actually end up ordering some?

He has fixed the website. The deal is if you order more than 5 bottles, you understand that your order will be filled AFTER the others are filled, and the processing time for the larger orders will be 1-3 weeks.

Personally, I like that he's taking care of the "little guys" with the less than 6 bottle orders first, and that he's being totally upfront about it. It seems like a good solution to the problem of finding yourself utterly overwhelmed with orders. :) I like the fact that he's adjusting to the situation and communicating, both via email and on his website. Some sellers could learn a lesson from this.

And, yeah, I placed an order for 10 bottles . . . I have no problem waiting, especially since that was communicated to me BEFORE I ordered.

Haha...I ordered marlboro, french pipe and almond too. Almost got the cherry but opted for watermelon instead. I've never tried any of these so it will be interesting. Hope they're good! :p

I kinda wish we knew what some of those other flavors were. Might be something there I'd like to try if I had any idea what they tasted like!

I just got word from Patrick @ healthysmokeshop.com that his larger order for all of our liquids (from his sale last week)are being processed by the manufacturer and should be to us soon. It is not held up in customs or anything of that nature. A quote from Patrick on the US Customs issue:

PAY FOR THE TAXES AND DUTIES required to import eLiquid!
The big lie among resellers is that Customs is stopping shipments and holding them are not clearing them Through the U.S. This is because the companies (Middlemen) that are selling to resellers in the U.S.
Want to make the best profit they can, so they Lie about what is in the shipment! Unfortunately, that is why it costs me so much, and I will have to raise my prices some after this. However, my shipments are always going to clear, and I know they are directly sealed at the factory, Not Filled by a small company in their basement from large containers in an unclean environment!

Thanks balldope! I did email him myself this morning. Let's put it this way....when I place an order on 2/21 and haven't heard a word by 2/26....somebody's gettin' an email! LOL

But seriously, I was just looking for an update....has it shipped....will it ship...that type of thing. And with all this fuss going on with orders and customs, etc, yes, I was a bit concerned there might be a problem.

But thanks for the update. Now I can let it lie (for a bit anyway...lol)

Lu, I felt the same way and after reading all the US custom issues some are having, well it made me wonder. Good thing Steve (PS) got his liquid in so at least I won't go dry waiting plus my order from Nathan just came in as well... Patrick did say he would update his site soon with some info, hope it's with shipping times :)

sorry ... True and Utter BS ...

he doesn't ship liquid in with it classified correctly, and if he did, he wouldn't see the shipments. plain and simple.

just because the juice is being manufactured doesn't mean it will make it in to the country safely. essentially ... everyone who purchased and is now waiting on liquid, has to wait for it to go through customs, etc .... like 1 big bulk order purchase ...

just my $.02 cents

EDIT: I shall also add ... Every import over $500USD you will pay Duty/Brokerage Fee's on. So, saying he is classifying it as true eLiquid and having to pay duty fee's on is complete bull as well.

The only way I could honestly see, to get eLiquid LEGALLY in to the USA, is if you have a pharmecutical license, in which case, you distribute to those that have prescriptions (or to raw material companies that distribute from there). If you told the USA, you were trying to import an UNREGULATED POISON into the United States ... They would laugh at you and deny or put an indefinite hold on the shipment ...

Thanks CaSH, I am by no means associated with this company other then relaying a message I got from him about everyones orders. You are probably one of the most knowledgeable people about imports. Your $.02 is worth a lot. Hopefully his stuff does not get stopped by Customs since a lot of us have order liquid. I guess I need to stop quoting thing I know nothing about.

a message from Patrick:

I just wanted to let everyone who participated in our

Bulk Special Order Weekend Sale, that all Invoices will

Be done shortly, and that the eLiquid is being made as we speak.

It should arrive sometime next week, which is within the allotted time

Listed on our sale page: Special Order eLiquid Weekend

I had to switch to another source who deals directly with the 3 Manufacturers

Of eLiquid, as the one I had was ok for small orders, but would not touch the

Large orders because they were not putting correct labels on shipping!

So I had to switch to a better company, which has a license to import

Liquid Nicotine, and charges me Duty & Taxes and other fees to Properly

Get through customs above board!

So the shipment will be in shortly and on its way to you and everyone who ordered!

“And as an appreciation for not being upset and giving me the extra week to get things

In order for our future line, expect a little something in your order bag!”



Sincerely yours,



Patrick Colton
