Pick-Up at Post Office - First Kit Blues

[FreakyStylie]

Sooooooooo close, yet soooooooooooooo far! My first kit came today! I wasn't here. My brand new eGo, my juice, mixing supplies, etc are all just sitting in the post office.

I am extremely bummed out right now. My xhale that I got at 7-11 is on its last leg. I've never tasted ..., but I think that's what it is tasting like right now. I'm on my last cart, but it just doesn't taste right, and I doubt I can clean the atty. I was really waiting for this delivery. Tracking . . . tracking . . . tracking . . . arrived! "Sorry We Missed You!" FFFFFFFFFFFFF.........

For future reference, does anybody know if there is a way to put notes in when ordering so that the postal carrier will leave the package?

 

[WomanOfHeart]

I don't know who you ordered from, but none of my packages have required a signature or that I be at home for the delivery. It's always put in my mailbox.

Yeah I'm kind of curious who requires signatures too, I've not come across any vendors that do yet.

Sorry it didn't come. As far as leaving it that's up to the carrier. All our carriers leave packages but we have one who just won't leave it. Every time he works this route I have to go pick it up. He doesn't even leave a note. I have to check tracking to find out it's here when he works.

 

[FreakyStylie]

OK, now I'm freaked out. Why do they need my signature? I did order from China, could that be why?

That could be I don't order from China to often can't recall if my last order had a signature slip on it or not.

Unless you ordered Mao's Little Red Book.....you're clear

All of my China orders require a signature, and I feel for you. But, once you get your first kit, keep a good supply of attys, batteries, carts, and juice on hand, and order ahead so that you don't run out. Once I settled on a couple of juices that I liked, I always try to keep at least 60ml of each on hand, and since attys and batteries fail, I keep several of those on hand, so that I don't get caught short. I also keep a spare battery charger on hand because the ones in the kits are not of the best quality and are prone to failure at the worst times. It is a little expensive at first to buy all of this stuff, but it will get cheaper as time goes by.

Naw, but ever since I ordered the Anarchist's Cookbook, I've been hearing funny ticking sounds on my phone.

When I knew that I would be getting something that needed sig, I would leave a note on the door telling them to leave it. When i got home, the package was there and the note gone. Of course that was several years ago.

Boy! I feel for you. But, once you get your first kit, keep a good supply of attys, batteries, carts, and juice on hand, and order ahead so that you don't run out. Once I settled on a couple of juices that I liked, I always try to keep at least 60ml of each on hand, and since attys and batteries fail, I keep several of those on hand, so that I don't get caught short. I also keep a spare battery charger on hand because the ones in the kits are not of the best quality and are prone to failure at the worst times. It is a little expensive at first to buy all of this stuff, but it will get cheaper as time goes by.

That's why I went with the Chinese order first. I got so much more for the price. I don't know about the quality yet. Usually quality and cost go hand in hand, but I'll be able to feel the stuff out. Got carts/cartos, passthrough, attys, juices, flavors, batteries, batteries, batteries. (The battery life on my xhale was about the only thing that put me back on analogs. Making SURE I have enough of that!) Plus, I've got a few dozen people waiting on my experience so they can jump in too. I want enough to share a little too.

What would you recommend for a quality charger, or where to buy?

 

[WomanOfHeart]

LiteCigUSA, LibertyFlights, MadVapes are all vendors that I use. They should have the really good, fast eGo chargers. And you won't even need a signature...

I have had packages which required a signature. One of them I wasn't home for and had to make the trip to the PO to pick up. When in doubt, I have them deliver to my work address. What sucks is if you pay for expedited delivery and this routine causes a delay of a day, or worse, a weekend.

Having said that, most deliveries haven't required a signature. But, when in doubt, it's to my place of business.

 

[TL1000RSquid]

What batteries do you need a charger for? I've bought chargers from myfreedomsmokes.com and azsmokefree.com all are still working, myfreedomsmokes even seem to be genuine Joye's, AZ were def knock offs but still work good.

 

[TL1000RSquid]

Most of my signature required stuff comes UPS and my UPS man knows I'll hunt him down on Xbox live or PSN if he doesnt leave my package

Thanks! Bookmarked.

Starting out with eGo. We'll see what my wife ends up liking. I'll be sure to mark the eGo charger too. I've learned that much at least.

 

[TL1000RSquid]

I think myfreedomsmokes.com coupons are good all this month 'ghost' gets you 30 or 40% off hardware, and trick gets you 15% off juice and like I said the ego chargers they sell seem to be genuine joye's around $5ish with coupon. extra ego batteries are like $11.xx and 7.xx for ego mega atty's.

quite a bit of mail from overseas has signature required so they can track that it got there, isn't still in customs and/or wasn't returned since it's a lot more hassle for them if any of these things happen. i've heard that a goodly number of orders from overseas get seized by customs officials. there's been a lot of complaining about it. most people think it's the government's way to control a portion of the market....while they're so far not making ecigs illegal totally, they're finding ways to get less and less of the product on the market, hoping that people will just go ahead and buy regular cigarettes and pay the huuuge taxes on them. same reason why pot's illegal...there's no way to tax it and that won't be tolerated. although, i learned recently that a few states have a ......... tax stamp...but since it's illegal in that state, trying to get one will get you arrested. but NOT having one leaves them with a charge of tax evasion to tack on to the other charges. it's sooo messed up.

I had to sign for a package from china. That's what I love about living in a small town...My post office is 2 minutes from my house and across the street from work.

 

[Goldenkobold]

It is up to the fedex ups man whether or not to leave the package...I use to be in cell phone sales and spoke with them regularly if they feel the package may get stolen on your door step they may not leave it, if they have any questions about it being the right place they may not leave it, if you have 6 pitt bulls between them and the door they may just throw the "sorry we missed you" note inside your gate..

normally leaving them a note will result in them leaving the package 80% of the time..especially if you sign the note
