Typically I refrain from posting current events but there is a very good possibility that shipments will be delayed beyond vendor & shipping vendor control.
For anyone who is not aware:
Cargo Planes Checked for Suspicious Packages (NYT)
Planes swept in US after Yemen-linked bomb scare (Google/AP)
General Google News Aggregator (US):
Google News
This also will impact Europe as they initially stated they suspected transit through London.
To keep vaping related: Wonder how this is going to change the landscape in the regard of shipping in terms of additional costs, delays, and screening.
So for those of us waiting on any shipments, please have some understanding and patience. Try not to jump all over the vendors as some might not be able to ship today/tomorrow.
It is UPS, FedEx, DHL etc.., but a lot of those packages along with USPS mail also end up on passenger planes. So there is a possibility that sorting centers for all methods of shipment are undergoing scrutiny right now.
Also everyone is in a panic about this at the moment if you look to the media so take a deep breath and relax.
Update: While surfing the news channels, per Fox & CNN - Homeland Security issued a statement about "increased security" which means if you are traveling with a PV you will be best advised to consider not taking anything that could be confiscated. I'm also wondering if increased security also will cause some mods to get held for shipping screening.
This is going to get interesting.
