Is this normal behavior from myfreedomsmokes?

[devilchild]

Been lurking around for about week and half. Where I have been learning a lot BTW and thanks alot to you guys. THANKS! Why I also tried MFS. I dont mind this so much. I like to tweek, hack, DIY. So find all this fun. My female friends and majority that ask about it are females that shop online but with larger stores and get things shipped fast. So I am not going to recommend something that is going to get me bitc#@# at latter.

 

[devilchild]

Thanks mang what info I was looking for.

Liberty Flights has given me a shipping number within hours of my order - at the most the next day. MFS has also been good, but I have only ordered from them twice (once on a weekend and once on a weekday). The others I have ordered from are mostly only my DIY supplies - some have been right on (RTS for example) and others have been delayed...

 

[devilchild]

LOL this has got me thinking I should sell them. Not a web site or anything just keeping extra gear. Ordered some nic juice and supplies. Sell friends and fam e liquid. O sh@ would that make me a nic dealer? a low ball one at that not even big time lol.

 

[AzPlumber]

They probably had a big weekend and will get your ordered shipped out tomorrow. MFS has always shipped out quick but I do recall a time or two from them and several other vendors that my weekend order didn't ship until Tues.

You may actually have a sensitivity to that particular cinnamon mix, though trying it at lower mg is fair.

You could just cut it with a bit of glycerin usp from a drug store, see if that works.

I placed order Saturday night. Check order status and as of 6:30pm EST it is still waiting to be shipped. WTH? E-mailed and no response back yet.
Also was browsing the negative shop reviews and see allot of company's that have negative reviews. Is there a default company that everyone here on the forum loves with fast shipping and great customer service.
Not liking these one man ran online shops. Does not seem the safest way to go.

Maybe they're closed on weekends? I've always had great customer service and fast shipping from MyFreedomSmokes.

I know the feeling of having orders not being processed in time, very frustrating. Maybe they have had a big batch of orders or for some reason been out of office on the Monday. Hope you get it soon

Hurm. Check this morning to see if tracking #working. I get this :

Your Item's Status
The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on February 13, 2012 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if / when available. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.

So from the sound of it. Seams it is still in a shop somewhere waiting to be picked up. To me that is not shipped. Also on the web site it say shipping will be done next business day. In e-mail after you get a shipping number it says any orders that are placed on weekends might not get shipped tell Tuesday. That is not next business day. Too me that is misleading. Than again. I am not the brightest bulb in the box. Just wish I knew that before hand. O well. Live and learn. Was hoping to hook moms up on V day.

If you deal with USPS for awhile you will see how bad they are at updating that status. sometimes it tracks fine, sometimes it is still sitting at elec notification when it arrives at the house, and sometimes it never even shows up.



This upcoming generation would flip their skittles if they had to do the old, Look at catalog, fill out order form and check, wait 4-6 weeks for delivery bit my generation did. LOL!

Most vendors have an account with the USPS so they can print their labels and have their accounts charged. This just means they have been notified (label printed) but the package may not have been picked up or dropped off.
MFS had a big sale this week and has probably been rushed with many orders, I know I ordered a Liter of unflav nic from them on Friday night and received my tracking yesterday. Patience, they are a great company.

I frequently order from Chris at MyFreedomSmokes. Generally all of my orders go out the same business day or the next. Once I was contacted when something was out of stock and they asked if I wanted the rest of the order shipped without it or if I wanted something substituted. I do recall one order where I never received the shipping information, but the order still appeared in the mail box within 2 days. I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues. This is definitely not the norm for them so I hope you don't write them off too quickly.

USPS is not the greatest about updating shipping status. Case in point - ordered Monday around noon. Almost immediately got an electronic notification that the mailing label had been printed. I hoped all evening that the order had shipped (don't NEED the product but I want it). All night checked the status through USPS with no changes. Checked this morning when I got up, no change (why yes, I am a bit obsessive, thank you for noticing) Finally was able to check again a few minutes ago and it did ship last night and actually left the sort facility last night. So I should get my package Wednesday - but even that is not guaranteed. The seller shipped my package within 4 hours of receiving my order. The seller does not have any special powers over USPS, nor does any other vendor e-cig or not.

Moral of the story "Don't believe everything you see on the internet, especially if it involves USPS"

 

[Rocketman]

I have spent many a night in the tree stand waiting for the postman to drop off e-cig stuff I have ordered

Moving this to the MFS forum so the supplier can respond if they wish.

Ok complaint I have. On site says orders are shipped 24 hours or next business day. No where on the site I can find says orders that are made on weekends will be shipped on Tuesday. So me think or assuming (and this is where I always get into trouble.) Ok If I order Tonight, will be shipped Monday. Him being in North Carolina and me being in Atlanta, I should get it on Tuesday. So I can hook Moms up on V Day. Knew It was a gamble but was like if it ships Monday I should be good. If I had known before hand. I could of paid for over night shipping or choose another company. Money wasn't an issue, time was. Before anyone says "if time was an issue" my grandmother ran a post office for 30 years. So local stuff get shipped that fast no reason to pay for overnight. That is if they "get the package".
Like someone said it might be on a truck somewhere but did not show up in my mail today. Hell I could of drove up there for the price for over night shipping.

Wish they would. Never got one response to email. So some kind would be nice.

With the usps sometimes they mess the shipping all up.Couple weeks ago usps lost an ego-t batt in the mail don't know what happend to it and i called chris up and told him i did not get my order the good people at mfs sent me out a replacement and they did not have to do that and a two weeks later i got the lost batt in the mail lol thought some one might have stole it and i called mfs and told them i got the missing package and wanted to pay for the replacement batt they told me just to pay for the batt the shipping was free! thats what i call good service from a great company.

 

[devilchild]

Ok lots here ready to defensibly take up for these guys saying a lot of great things. Wish I could sing praises with you. No one has addressed my issue in that his web site is false advertising or misleading customers. You guys might think he is the bees knees but to me that is poor business. I have no problem "waiting for order" if I know I am going to have wait. If web site says orders shipped in 24 hours or next business day. I expect that. Not to find out latter after you have my money.
