Hmm, USPS, Why U Take So Long!!!

[TheLovelyMissJ]

My order from The Vapor Room was shipped on the 21st, with expected delivery in 1-3 days. According to the tracking info on the USPS website, my package is STILL in the state that it was shipped from. :/

Apparently, it was shipped January 21, 2014 , 4:19 pm
the Last update on UPSP was January 22, 2014 , 11:31 pm

which means... my package has traveled 148.49 miles in 1 day 7 hours 12 minutes.... uhmmmm That's not that good....

 

[BigCatDaddy]

They are slow on the updates sometimes. I've had them tell me my stuff was still in another state and it would be in the mailbox. You better go look!!

 

[TwinTurbo120]

I feel your pain lol Sometimes though, they don't update you with all the info. It's most likely pretty close to you if they said 1-3 days.

I have found great inconsistency with USPS. It goes from fantastic to I should have ordered from China! To make matters worse the more you need or want it the slower it seems to travel.

 

[TheLovelyMissJ]

I would go check right now, but I had it sent to my PO box, which is all the way up town... so I'll head out in a bit to check it.

Another thing, I also have a package coming priority shipping. They didn't give me a tracking number, but I ordered it on the 22, it was shipped on the 23rd. It's coming from Wisconsin, I'm in iowa.... think there's any hope it will come today? I'm sooo excited! The first package is a sampler pack of juice, the second is my new device, new tank, new tip, new charger, and a pack of replacement heads for the tank.

 

[Arystalis]

I know your feels, whether it be vape mail, car parts, computer parts. It's such a drag waiting...

 

[r2d2]

This happened to me just yesterday. I was checking for status updates every thirty minutes at work and it said it was still in Maryland. I unexcitedly checked the mail when I got home (to get the bills ) and behold, my package was in the mailbox!!!

 

[Blue Sage]

Some days it feels like your pacakge is on the slow boat to china. Which is ironic in that packages from China come much quicker at times.

With UPSP I think it all depends on the weather and how the state's distribution centers work out.

 

[Fisheeboy]

I ordered some vape liquid and it was shipped on the 14th from Washington then New Mexico two times then to Denver then to Ohio and who knows where it's headed to next. Meanwhile I'm sittin here in Colorado on the 24th ten days after it was originally shipped wondering, how many more times will it pass through my state before it gets to my house? God bless the USPS

Same here.

Same here, too. I've had the tracking tell me that my order was still in Singapore, and it showed up in my mailbox that afternoon.

Ugh, Kearny, NJ is the East Coast USPS black hole, and not just for vapemail. I dread any package that I have to order from or send to the East Coast or the EU will inevitably be processed several times at Kearny over a few to several days. SoCal packages often suffer the same fate. I'm cursed for living in a "fly-over state." Other than Nicoticket (Nebraska), does ANYTHING I buy online come from the Midwest? But then it likely will have to get stuck in Oak Creek, WI, lol and

at least you only get it occasionally. i live in NJ, and everything seems to go through there before hitting my local post office. it cracks me up that there are two zip codes and offices there.

at the speed i received the last one, it would have been quicker to walk to Kearny and back. it's only 30 miles or so away.

and i've got another one there now. arrived there 1/21 at 1am. scheduled for delivery 1/21...still there. i'll give them some slack for the foot of snow we got then..but only if it shows up today.

 

[smyth]

Same issues here with Kearny, package has been sitting there for 3 days now (though it would have to be there for another week to break my personal record), then usually it goes to Trenton. Trenton seems much better though there have been times packages have gone to Kearny, to Trenton, to somewhere is PA, back to Trenton and then to my post office. I get a mistake occasionally (like the one with trenton) but Kearny seems to hang onto stuff or mis-sort it every single time as if it's on purpose. Odd to me that it's so consistent.

USPS is the absolute worst when it comes to tracking.

USPS is the absolute worst when it comes to tracking.

I agree, their tracking system is garbage. I sometimes have packages that do not receive a single tracking update/scan in between "acceptance" and "delivered"

This month alone I have had 7 ordered shipped to me via USPS Priority Mail. It took between 4-7 days for each of those packages to arrive in my mailbox from the "acceptance" date, NOT the date I actually ordered the product. I am slowly migrating away from USPS, and even try to order from vendors who offer UPS or FedEx Home delivery, or at least contact them before hand to see if they can offer me shipping other than USPS.

I would much rather pay $10 to ship UPS and actually have the item I ordered in 1-3 days than Pay $5 and MAYBE get it in 7. Not only that but USPS will not knock on my door to attempt delivery, they'll just leave a notice. UPS and Fedex will put it on my front stoop as late as 7pm sometimes.

I have absolutely NO faith in the USPS.

 

[evan le'garde]

I ordered something from the usa just about two weeks ago. USPS have been tracking it all the way. In fact they are still tracking it, even though it is in the solent depot here in the uk.

Look at it this way...by the time you get it, it's already steeped and ready to vape ! And....at NO additional charge.

 

[Elizabeth Baldwin]

I ordered 2 smoktech magnetos Friday evening up in the night. I ordered 2 Russian 91% from a different place.... Both in Florida. My Magnetos arrived today and the tracking updated along the way. My Russians are still showing they've been scanned in at Florida on 22... No updates...nothing. My Nemesis shipped this morning... But I need my Russians.

USPS is crazy. It updates perfectly sometimes, like with my magnetos, but I guarantee you my Russians will be in my mailbox before there are any updates.

BTW: I've never had something come so fast through USPS like those Magnetos. 1 business day and it was in my town. Wow...
