LT Shipping TImes

[DrOckW]

I ordered mine from Volcano... can't wait.

No matter where you ordered from let me know how long it took you to get yours.

Naturally I'm pretty focused on Volcano for selfish reasons. NOTE I'm not judging vendors but more the USPS which seems to be failing me lately with my purchases. Not just November and December but even before that. Sub-thought, how is the USPS treating you all?

Ordered on a Thursday morning...shipped that afternoon and was delivered Monday morning...darn weekends! My Lavatube was 14 miles from my house on Saturday at the Fed Ex facility...just wasn't about to GET it. This was ordered from Volcano with 2 day shipping.

I ordered Sunday night. Got the shipping conformation in e-mail last night (Tuesday) Of course Monday was a national holiday with no post being delivered and most companies closed. I'll report back when it gets here.

Placed my order on the 28th of Dec. It tracked to my hometown in






Placed my order on Dec. 28. It arrived in my hometown in Arkansas after the deliver time on Dec. 31. Because of the postal holiday, I got it yesterday, Jan 3. Would have had it in my hands on the 2nd if not for holiday. I'd say that is pretty good service from Hawaii.

Received "new order" email on Jan. 1 and received "shipment" email Jan.3. Fed Ex 2 day. I have a Fed Ex hub less than 5 miles from my home at Indy International...will update when it arrives.

My shipping experience was horrible. I got the 2 day shipping and yes I did receive my Lavatube in 2 days. The horrible part was stalking the Fed-EX shipping. I got to see my package scan in Hawaii, then scanned in Nashville TN, and then scan at my local hub. Fine and dandy right. I live in Washington state and so my precious package traveled twice as far as needed. Damn pilot could have dropped it out the window when flying over. I would have caught it.

Speaking of USPS, I have an unrelated order coming via that route and I gotta say I'm concerned about it as the last delivery they were responsible for delivering to me ended up at a condo two complexes down address not even similar. I just happened to be outside and the homeowner pulls up and says "Hey, I think I've got your package." Just hoping they get it right this time.

 

[DrOckW]

I see that as related, it's part of the decline of the USPS. I also notice a decline in the accuracy of tracking, or just a lack of updates... not sure which

Looks like we're in a race to the LT. The Post office still says they just got the notice.

Best of luck!

Ordered Monday, coming on Thursday. Great, except the batteries come on Saturday. >:/

All this talk scares me - I think I will pay for the Fed-Ex shipping.

 

[DrOckW]

OK heres the hard facts, Finally got the dispatch info.

I ordered on Sunday Jan 1st (late my time) the PO just got the package sorted in HI and has estimated delivery on Saturday the 7th which happens to be my Birtday, good timing!

Will let you all know what I see. And my batts will be arriving tomorrow (love how close Electronicstix is).

Spend 100.00 or more you get free Fed Ex 2 day I believe....I did. I believe you mentioned waiting on the kit previously if I'm not mistaken...that gets ya close.

 

[DrOckW]

I thought so too, but I didn't get anything off on my shipping, so I went to priority instead of first class for $2

 

[Keeno]

Can't say I'm that impressed with the 2day as I'm probably looking at a Friday arrival...no biggie. Should be somewhere over the pacific at about this hour....

As bad as I want to get my LT I had previous orders for different stuff so I'm getting packages in the mail everyday this week. That helps take the edge off.

4 lbs Keeno ?

My tracking info from the U.S. Postal Service says, "Your item has been processed at our origin sort facility at 6:40 pm on January 04, 2012 in HONOLULU, HI 96820. "

I got other packages today in those flat rate shipping boxes and that have a note on them that says, " 4 pound weight limit on international shipping applies."

I think that's funny.. have you seen the video of people unwrapping the Lavatube package.. no way it weighs anywhere near that even with the full kit.

Last I checked the US was still claiming Hawaii as occupied territory, so how could from state to state be International?

(occupied territory - That's a joke, many believe Hawaii became a State illegally and against most of the peoples wishes. Saw a good documentary on that once)

4 lbs Keeno ?

I just ordered another lavatube today and 45 cartomizers and mine says 13 lbs. I don't know where they're coming up with the random weights.

 

[John Phoenix]

Some kid at the post office looks at the box and says, " This box says it's got a tube of lava in it.. must be heavy - lets charge more!"

Silly random thought: Is that a Lavatube in your pocket or ya just happy ta see me?

Ha, add that silly random thought to your sig before I steal it.....

You can steal it, I don't mind. I'm just sorry they didn't call it a "Hot Tube of Lava"

More silly random thoughts: " Hey Baby, wanna put those lips on my Hot LavaTube and suck"? My LavaTube is bigger , All the ladies love to suck on my Hot LavaTube, My Hot LavaTube can really satisfy your needs.

These would make neat bumper stickers if they don't get modded away to oblivion by the ECF staff. I could do this all day. That's why the nurses only let me play with the computers on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
