I'll say one thing for Fed Ex. When they say overnight, they mean overnight. Unlike, Puro, UPS, Canada Post, etc etc etc.. The only downside to Fed Ex is the cost, but you get what you pay for.

Not up here in Northern BC. Fed Ex packages get delivered by Canada Post. It could get overnight to Vancouver, but it will still take 2-3 days to get into my hands.

Purolator and DHL are the only two real courier options here.

The only thing you have to watch out for is if your Out of country supplier ships DHL's lowest cost shipping option, you could get charged a hefty fee on delivery.

I'm never worried about shipping times. I order about a month in advance and choose the cheapest shipping option. I have waaaaaaay too many backups of everything.

I find it ridiculous that packages from China come sooner than ones from the US, and that shipping non-Expresspost packages within Canada is more expensive than sending them twice as far in the US.

I cleaned and sorted all my PV stuff yesterday. Took me 2.5 hours, so yeah I have backups for my backups too. But, it still galls me that it takes 2 to 3 weeks to ship here specially when something new comes out and I want to try it .. NOW!

Just opened another package... 60ml of Chocolate Mint and Cherry Cola!!! Also got a sample of Hawaiin Delight to try, and it looks like I may need to put in an order for more of it already :)

Tomorrow I should be getting my EMDCC's and some other toys I ordered yesterday. I really need to stop going to that website!!!

got spearmint (if you like the green leaf coated in sugar spearmint candy) is awesome, black licorice tastes like black jelly beans, strawberry is awesome, bubble gum tastes like the old double bubble that used to come in the pink rapper with the little joke cartoon, Hawaiian delight has not grown on me.... not very fussy but for 7.99/30ml no big loss

Another successful order complete. Placed order yesterday morning, arrived this morning. What more can you ask for?!

I did get hit with a funky ROD charge from FedEx for 19 bucks. It had something to do with not having an account with them or something but since it was 5 of us in a combo order, it added an additional 3 bucks and change per person. Again, better than bearing it all alone.

Totally satisfied with Madvapes at this time.
