Today he will be discussing with UPS. Let's hope something good comes out of it :)

Yeah, I just got that message from him. From what I can decipher in the previous one, he mentioned it as being temporary (the new price), but I may be taking a leap of understanding about his true meaning.

Dspin, I just gave him your idea of only bubble wrapping the mods and sending it inside a padded envelope, instead of that famed Gus 'shoe box'.

He's little sacred that this may damage the device. But I'm telling him that I receive mods (as well as glass tanks) like that all the time. And none has ever come damaged. Even GP Paps just comes in plain wrapping.

Did he forget I wrote to him back in January about that - even the Caravela is sent in a small paper envelope - wrapped in his famous felt. Felt or Bubble wrap - all are protected. I daresay the Hellfires are wrapped in a piece of bubble wrap in a thin brown paper envelope.

I think the issue with shipping is - people in past, whine and complain about the time. I have no issues waiting 3-4 weeks for package to arrive. Usually from Portugal, Greece or Italy its always 3 weeks.

That and if he would use tiny envelopes or boxes. I received a box near the size of a shoebox with the Lord in it. That is not good for price either. I wrote to them at the time suggesting much smaller packages to save them shipping costs.

I liked the box but my Lord came with free shipping. If I were paying for the shipping I probably would have questioned the use of such a large box considering the size of the contents.

I agree, a smaller package will cut down on shipping costs. That said, shipping is part of life with mods and atties. I also don't mind waiting. Not a big deal to me at all. As long as I know it's on the way, that's generally good enough for me. I like to watch tracking and see where it gets stuck as well. I was in the shipping industry for 12 years and I like to see where the inefficiencies are.

I don't remember what shipping for the Poldiac was from MM but it seems to me it was still under 200$ total cost so maybe 12 Eur from Athens Greece by UPS?

I would have to go check my spreadsheet and am at work.

You all spreadsheet your vaping journey do you not?

Hmm, I do not. If I did ~ I'd go crazy looking at the score ;)

Whenever I need, if I need, I just log on to my Paypal A/c and check the invoices to know what I paid and how.

I don't get these huge shipping costs he's coming up with. I just ordered a bunch of stuff from Gr-Modders who is also based out of Greece and I paid $20 for shipping through UPS. Greece>NYC

Best part is I ordered it this past Sunday and it arrived today...
