No Info Since Order Was Shipped...

[ijony5]

I placed an order over a week ago with Litecigusa and when I check the status of the package it just says it was accepted and picked up....It does not tell me it has arrived at customs or anything yet.

Should I be worried?

I would just like to know what's going on, maybe I just need more patience but I thought after more than a week (7 business days) I would see some progress.

So far with 4 different packages (2 were ecigs, 1 a tshirt for the woman, and 1 an ebook cover) - the tracking information was awful. The USPS tracking barely updated

 

[Melnik]

I never had problems with USPS so far, but i heard that they are restructuring or smthing. On the other hand... my package from china left china May 1 and still doen't show up in Canada post ... damn :-(

 

[ijony5]

Well I guess I'll just have to wait and see...I was hoping I would know something by now. Even if it was in customs (which it probably is) then at least I have some info but not knowing is the hard part.

Maybe I should have ordered from Texas where everything is "bigger and better" and the USPS actually updated their info.

Good luck on your shipment from China, I hope it arrives soon.

zer0ith, how long did it take for your to get your package, and was the info ever updated?

 

[tomknotts]

There are certain types of packages sent through usps that give a tracking number but that number isnt really a tracking number... all it will say usually is shipping info was recieved and then u wait till the package shows up at the door

 

[zer0ith]

The info still is not updated and I got 3 of my packages last week. 2 came from NY which took about 10 business days and the other was about 15 business days. The other one came from Hawaii and that took about 8 business days.

I do know that with Canada Post the tracking information NEVER was on there. There was another tread about this earlier but if its a tracking number of LSxxxxxxxxxUS you wont see anything

Found the other thread I was talking about.

Nope don't be worried, when I ordered from someone in the states..from the same place twice..it took over a week to show up on tracking.

For "ME":

- shipping from USA = 7 days to 3 weeks
- shipping within Canada = 1 day to 1 week
- shipping from China = 3 weeks to 6 weeks

- Tracking from anywhere globally = unreliable, inconsitant, and frustrating as hell.... Forget-a-bout-it, lol... If orders aren't recieved by the above time frames (for ME), I get on the vendors contact mode and ask for assistance/reship/refund. It's also a good reason why I usually order 6 months ahead of "panic modes" with my reserve of supplies.

This is right from the USPS Website:

"Tracking is not available for Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelopes or Priority Mail International Small Flat Rate Boxes."

 

[cactusgirl]

The tracking on my US-originating parcels is never accurate. It seems to update all at once, usually the day before or day of delivery with anywhere from 2-7 days of stagnant movement once it crosses the border.

Just an aside, I mailed a parcel out yesterday xpresspost (within Canada). The post-mistress told me that it is delivery is "guaranteed in 3 business days or it's free." She said that there is some restructuring of routes going on right now so if it does not arrive on the third day to definitely follow up and go after them for the refund. I'm going to be tracking and watching that one like a hawk! lol

I'm curious why Canadians feel they have to buy from US vendors when there's so much anxiety about receiving your orders, and there are so many vendors here? Is it product availability? Significantly lower prices?

Cause other than a particular mod, isn't most everything else available to us from here?

 

[sparky604]

I buy from outside Canada when it's something that I can't get here - a screaming good deal (sometimes there are really cheap mods for sale in the US classifieds), Boge LR cartos (during the time when Electrovapors delisted them and before Happy Vaper carried them, I ran out and was very antsy about getting more) and 100mg juice. Other than that, I like to buy in Canada - NicFitNation, Electrovapors or Happy Vaper are where I go first when I'm looking for something new, like the new Leo cartos, and possibly will try out the new Bloog cartos in future.

There's stuff you can only get from the States though, like The Terminator Terminator e-cig mod reviews and various VV mods..

Yes and yes.

 

[Motivaper]

Yes and yes.

But other than mods, what can't you get from Canada? And are the prices "really" lower(enough not to support Canadian vendors) if you factor in shipping, time, and anxiety?

We can get all the things that the USA has, but some of it is underground and bought illegally. It is cheaper to buy in the states if you factor in shipping, time and anxiety. Much cheaper.

 

[Motivaper]

I'm a little surprised and confused! I would have thought that if you could buy the exact same (name brand) products from a Canadian vendor, it's still the preference to buy from a US vendor?

Yes but the same brand from Canada is cheaper in the states. No questions on that one! We Canadians don't have money trees here, I swear!

With that being said, I support Canadian Vendors. Jack at happyvapor, Al at Cdnvapor, are my two vendors I will support. I also supported vapables and juicyclear here in Canada. But I have bought from china as well as the united states, sometimes for the cheaper prices, mostly for items you can't get in canada.

Does this help?

Hey I got my new eGo!!!! Two weeks to the day and it's here from litecigusa!!!

Now a question...It's not quite what I expected, This eGo mega atty cover will not come off, i also oredered carts but I can not use the covers with them, I will also need a mouth piece to go over the cover, you guys will know what I'm talking about. Where can I get what I need ASAP. I have liquid so that's not a problem, I looked at litecig am not sure what to get, any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks to all

Happy Vaper would be the fastest for you, I'd think. They're at Happy Vaper - Canada Electronic Cigarettes and E-Liquid, DIY Concentrated Flavorings!.

I'm not sure what you mean by the cover? The atty on an eGo is the cone-shaped bit from the silver band in the centre upwards - eGo carts will just slide into the top of it. This link shows a picture of the eGo atty with a drip tip installed.

Canadian electronic cigarette Delrin, eGo Mega, Drip Tips, Type A!

Did you order the eGo or the eGo-T kit? (eGo-T kit should have "eGo-T" printed in white at the bottom of the atomizer.

Cheers
