Hi,
More news from my side! I received my KISSBOX today!!!
So I wrote to Harry yesterday and he replied very fast this time and provided me with the tracking number. I was then able to get my package from the post office...
My first impressions of the KISSBOX :
- I like the little box and pocket for the cigarette, really nice
- The flavor is very smooth, seems nice..
- The cardridges are constantly leaking into my mouth, which is very bad
- The cardridges have no way to know which flavor it contains (only marked on a few boxes)...
- The supposedly "regular tobacco" cardridge actually smell and tastes like chicken curry... maybe it's "oriental" flavor but I couldn't know since it's not written anywhere...
- The amount of 'smoke' generated doesn't seem to be very good, I have to take deep puffs to get a heavy smoke... but maybe it's just an impression since the flavor is too smooth...
- I don't see any difference between manual and automatic switch.
Overall, it looks like a great product, if only it would stop leaking liquid into my mouth on every puff... hopefully it will become better once the cardridges are not 'extra full'. I'm a bit disappointed though, maybe because of all the hype about it, and it's nothing 'out of the ordinary'. I'm not sure yet though if it was worth the price... I'll comment back in a few weeks!
On an off topic side note story.. here's how I got my package..
I read the email from Harry this morning with the information that the package was delivered yesterday.. I was very happy, so I went to work (I gave my office's address for the delivery).. got a 'delivery notice" slip in the mailbox telling me to get my package from the post office near me, I was very happy.. then I saw that I would have to pay 61$ for customs if I want to get my package.. now I was already ...... off... I went to the Canada Post website and entered the tracking number from the delivery notice.. it said :
tentative delivery, noone home, left a delivery notice.
Package picked up, signature was given (<name of the person who picked it up>)
delivery successful!
Now, I was shocked, there's noone here who would have picked it up (we're 4 people in the office and noone did it), and I didn't know the name of the person who took my package... I went to the post office to clear it up, thinking it might have been a mistake... indeed, the package could not be found, and it was written that it was already picked up, they showed me the signature, and the person's name... never heard of him.
I went back to the office, devastated... I called Canada Post customer service, after about 1 hour on the phone, they opened an investigation for the package, they would try to track that guy and get my package back...
I then googled the guy's name, and found that he lives in the same building where the office is.. so I went to the building's administration office, they refused to give me his appartment number... I went to the building's door where there is an intercom and an annuary, found the guy's name, punched in his code and got to talk to his wife.. he wasn't home, she refused to give me the appartment number so I gave my name and phone number so he could contact me...
10 minutes later he called me from his work and denied getting any package, I described his signature and he says indeed that's his signature... I told him about the 61$ customs he had to pay then he said "oh right, yes, that package I got, but it's mine, it wasn't a mistake, it's not your package"... I then went back to harry's email and saw that he sent me the tracking number, I entered it in the Canada Post website and saw that they supposedly left me a delivery notice but that the package hasn't been picked up yet.. I called the post office, and they said that they had my package, with my name and it was there waiting for me.. so I went back to the post office, and got my KISSBOX (yeay!).. I then had to call back Canada Post customer service for canceling the investigation.. another 30 minutes on the phone...
What happened is that this guy's delivery notice was put in my own mailbox, and my delivery notice probably was put into someone else's mailbox... and we just happened to both receive a package on the same day, live in the same building, same floor, appartment number's slightly the same (change a "7" into a "1" in the appartment number)...
I lost half a day running around to get my KISSBOX but it's finally here!
Thanks all for reading (if you did
