No first class shipping available?

[<---cop]

Hey guys,

Just went to put an order in for some juice, batteries and bits and pieces with international shipping.
My last order was for Roughstacks, spares and juice with USPS First-Class Mail International for about $8.

The new order only has an option for Priority Mail and is over $35 just for shipping!!!!!

Can we get the old option back? What has changed in the last two weeks?

Thanks

Seems MV is not the only one, check this:

Guess there will be a few days of this. Maybe something bigger than the vendors has made a change. I know the price of a stamp went up yesterday, so more changes must be going on. Will go poke around USPS site and see if I can find anything.

ETA: I'm still looking, at work and clients keep coming in. Hopefully someone will find something soon.

Thanks.

I just posted in that thread too.
If shipping out of the US has quadrupled overnight, it just means that everyone international will buy direct out of China which is a shame. I'd prefer to buy from proper US stores.

I'm not certain I have it right, but it appears that the less expensive option is no longer available if a company has to have an export license. I could be completely wrong, as I said trying to work and look up stuff on the computer. MadVapes will be able to explain when they log on.

Aren't there places Down Under you can purchase supplies? I used to order from Heaven's Gifts but switched to MadVapes for most of my stuff because of shipping costs. Maybe MadVapes should go international and open up a store in Sydney.

From what I'm reading this is happening with a lot of the carts. Something about changing the word from 'package' to 'parcel'.
Anyway, 3dcart is working on it for us and will hopefully have a fix in place soon.

Whew! Glad I was reading things wrong. That's what happens when you talk with people in person, on the phone and try to google! Sorry for any confusion.

Happy everything is back to normal.

Yep, fingers crossed.

I'm checking the site constantly with full cart and ready to pull the trigger when it's fixed

You can order hardware here but no nic.
This thread is a good example of why I'd prefer to give my dollars to a shop like Madvapes
