Patience, grasshoppas....

This is what vaping life is like. Hurry up and wait. We are at the mercy of China and the FDA. And the Chinese New Year wreaks havoc on shipping & supplies. The whole country shuts down for like 2 weeks it seems.

I believe there is stuff arriving at SI either this past weekend or today. Gotta give them at least some time to go through it and put it up on the site. The new PCC was supposed to get on the plane today - news at 11.

Yeah - Imagine hasn't been around today - maybe they are stocking inventory........

Can't believe USPS did that to shipping - that is crazy, plum crazy.

Rave - that looks awesome!

Oh no, no, no - LOVE thunderstorms. Tornados - not so much. Lexi didn't even seem to care. But thanks anyhow. :)

I love thunderstorms too - had my hubby build the porch (under roof) wider so I could sit and watch them come in and just sit there during and not get wet. Tornados - Joplin one too close to home, never liked them but really leery of them now.

My little boy gets on the bed and goes under the cover between hubby and I:)

I wonder if all the americans here got a hike to when they look at their cart. or just canada?

it used to have 2 shipping options, both said canada something, now its only 2 US ones.

Mine looks normal - $2.40 for cheapest with 1 item in there.

USPS does say priority mail to Canada is $23+, but normal mail was only going up 5 cents. So there must just be a glitch with the website that it isn't being offered right now. Have you tried using the Live Chat on the site to ask?

I'll bet you're right Laura. Since Imagine isn't around, I'll bet they are restocking and photographing new stuff. And like Starsong says - This is a really bad time of year for trying to get new stock. SI is doing their very best - I'd bet money on it. And I'm sure that they will look into the whole international shipping cost issue as well. There was a postage increase of 1 cent per ounce for domestic yesterday, but I don't know about international. :confused:

Here are the USPS rate increases, effective today: Stamps.com - 2012 Postage Rate Increase, New US Postal Rate Increase
Don't forget: they probably have to add a little handling fee, because international packaging requires special handling (by their shipping guru). I used to be that guru (not at SI), and it ain't fun!

USPS might have restructured their pricing and screwed up SI's automated stuff, so I would check with Customer Service to try to get International First Class Mail instead of what it's defaulting as (Priority Flat Rate Small Box?). Then the price difference would only be cents away from what you were paying before. The increase was only supposed to be like 2 to 5%.

USPS did change their rates for both domestic and international shipping... This has made the Magento shipping software go wonky... the web master is working on it and it will be fixed shortly


basically you are only seeing the priority option and the lower cost first class is missing...


I only have THREE small items in my cart, and its $23. 4 days ago with the same things in my cart (i have been waitin for new stock) it was $2.99 for shipping to canada!
$21 hike over night,
