Made In China

[hoogie76]

I like sharing with you guys because I know a lot of you are waiting on items and probably wonder why it takes so long to get them..

The latest is that we have a 1000 battery boxes, picked by random search, being held by customs since 5/11 because the boxes themselves do not say 'Made in China' on each individual battery box.. Who woulda thought it was a required feature

When I asked the shipper about why things like LEDs and resistors don't have this restriction the answer was 'Those are too small to print on and customs does what customs wants. They tell us only what they have to and nothing more'

Learn something new everyday..

Heck, by that logic every e-cig battery and atomizer should require the same mark.

Sounds like you got a new customs person... or one of the idiot ones.

Sorry Hoog.

No kidding......They are such macho men and all......i bet when they are out at a bar or somewhere trying to score chicks they have some priceless pickup lines..!!

I mean, who wouldn't want to go home wit a the guy that just made International news,I can see it now,,."YeaH darlin', that was me in that awesome story on the 78'th page of world topix.com news for breaking up that ring of dangerous battery box sumgglers...Yep, no really, it was me. I single handedly stopped and destroyed the WHOLE 1000 lot shipment and then sent a pic of myself destroying them with my #9 black boot back to em' just so they know u can't get nothing by our gates anymore!! I think it really shook them up Probably put 'em out of business because it was such a big loss and all,,,But if they try it again, i'll be waiting!

can't you just like promise to print up a "made in China" stickers to put on them to get them released from customs? Its not like your customers don't know where they come from or that you're trying to say they're American made or anything.

Customs for packages is virtually inaccessible until they send you a form letter. The info we got was passed on by the carrier.

Did the rest of the shipment make it through? Or was the entire load held up? What does 'waiting for re-ship' mean?

The waiting for reship was a different order that bounced all over the US before being sent back to China

Ahh America-If we could simply figure out the atomizers the rest is fairly easy.Plus plenty of plastic factories in the U.S. I would think for battery boxes.(course wouldn"t be America without imports huh)

 

[opyrus]

now remember if something says "made in usa" this means it was made in usapa japan for it to be made in the states it must say "made in U.S.A". fun fact.

Good point.. I found this awesome US source for battery boxes and you'll notice them as style 2 on MadVapes.. Seems they run a bit smaller and an ultrafire 14500 battery won't fit but a trustfire will
