Problems with USPS?

[xDarkRelic]

So every single vaping purchase I've made has been through them and had no problems, up until now.


My tracking number shows that my delivery date was Friday (today) and that it was still in transit. Despite the fact that my delivery date is the 19th, the actual package history hasn't updated at all, to show any city near mine. I placed my order about 8 days ago and it did say 5-7 days. Since mail runs on Saturday I'm really hoping to get it tomorrow, but I'm confused after even I got my mail for today, my transit hasn't changed, it still says the 19th.

Has anyone experienced this before?

I had to call the Post Master at my local office to get help finding a christmas gift once. The guy I spoke to was very helpful and got me the info that I needed. Might be worth a try.

Yes, it happens. Don't fret. It should just randomly say delivered one day. That's how it has worked for me in the past when this has happened.

The point where you need to worry is if you see it going the wrong way. For example, I had a package ship from Seattle, keep in mind I live in Colorado, and they decided to send it to Hawaii first... USPS issues are nothing new around here lol

Many times I've had a package go from "Shipment label created" straight to "Out for delivery". It's no surprise the USPS is slow and the tracking sucks. Rarely do I have it update often.

I had 2 vape mails this week one was a day late and the other was a day early. They were even ordered from the same place 2 days apart and shipped on different days. USPS Tracking numbers are only guesstimate's on a delivery date.

Thanks for the info everyone. My subtank mini crapped out on me so I ordered a Cthulhu RTA because all I have left is my tugboat, which I don't normally like taking out because I normally load up on juices and it ways down the pockets.

Also, unless my gf is with me while I'm driving I have no DD (designated dripper)

 

[Cullin Kin]

It'll get there man. Eventually...

Usps should just be allowed to go bankrupt. You had one job usps! Seriously it's terrible. I've had packages lost, my mailman stockpiles mail in his car like Newman, and the postmaster knows this! He gets around to delivering it... They always forget to bring packages to my door and then mark them as undeliverable. My mail woman smells of tequila and cheap perfume... Its terrible.

I've had the same with the Cthulhu.
Right know it's the same with the VF Mini.
And it'll be the same with my rDNA.

If the USPS tracking shows you an estimated delivery date add 1 or 2 businessdays. Happened a lot to me in the past that the ETA was changed from friday to monday (on a saturday^^) and still said "on time".

I live in the US a little over a year and I already hate USPS. Just recently my vapemail got stolen because the mail man just left it in our lobby where everybody can go inside.

Just pray it doesn't go through Opa Locka! There is a mail black-hole there.

 

[Azarias]

That's pretty much what my tracking always looks like:

And I bet this package won't be here today.

 

[choochoogranny]

Well, businesses create the shipping label at place you ordered, then they call USPS to pick up or take package to P.O. to begin it's journey through it's system. So, your package sat at place ordered for 2 days before USPS got it's hands on it.......Then there's the snow, hail, storm and dark of night thing.

Each package has to be manually scanned at each point in transit. My particular post man isn't the most motivated person that I have encountered (like he should have retired 5 years ago??). I have had stuff delivered and a 'delivered' status never shows up. I have had this happen in places all along the shipment trail. And USPS isn't the only one - have experienced it with UPS and FedEx as well. I have had stuff come where tracking shows a 'label printed' status to having is show up on the front step with no points travels in between. I have had stuff out so long you'd think it had to get lost someplace, then show up on the step 5 days late. Hopefully it will just show up, sooner than later.

Either there's a shady government conspiracy against vapers and their mail delivery.....

....or vapers are incredibly impatient.

That!

Me too.

Mine are past the due date before I get to open them though.

Damn pesky usps. :shakes fist:

I've been pretty lucky with my vapemail ... but have some USPS horror stories from a few years back when I lived in another town.

Don't believe the tracking - I've had stuff delivered before the tracking ever updated to show it left the city of origin.

 

[Azarias]

Yep. I don't believe the tracking anymore.
Without arriving anywhere my vapemail is out for delivery.
Looks like I can try my first TC mod today. Farewell weekend nap.

Ahhh.... I hear all you.... here's a not so good one:

The post office decided to change my ZIP CODE from one number to another. Fair enough.

• I had to contact my bankcards to have them change my .ZIP code to the new one as my shipping address and billing address did not match
• Oddly, UPS and USPS intermittently disagree on what my address is (and won't accept shipments)
• Even stranger - the USPS will ACCEPT a package for delivery at the SOURCE but when the package gets to my local post office they declare it a 'invalid address'.

A vape supplier which I've ordered (and got delivery from USPS) from in the past has tried TWICE to send an order to me and had it rejected at the local post office. While the last time they offered me a 'store credit', I've told them they need to issue me a refund as for some unknown reason they can't get my order delivered to me. (and if I can't get a order from them delivered, an in store credit is completely useless!!!)
