I agree with you USPS has been terrible lately. I also have a package that has just stopped moving. This isn't the first time either, the last few months they have been horrible. Every juice I buy is shipped USPS. I do buy some juice from my local shop which makes things easier
I've seen some vendors claim that UPS and FedEx won't ship e liquid with nicotine. Though I can't seem to find anything with google. Most likely USPS is simply cheaper and faster for small packages like a mod or couple bottles of liquid. And I'm sure it's easier for the vendor to just deal with one shipping service.
Contact the USPS and the vendor to see if there are any weather-related issues that could be contributing to the delay. Parts of the country have been hit with severe weather, which is messing things up for everyone. If you cannot get a satisfactory answer, file a claim with USPS, and ask the vendor to also file a claim.
We have had better luck lately with USPS than with UPS or FedEx lately. A few months ago, my daughter ordered contact lenses through a company recommended by her insurer. She opted for "expedited" shipping via FedEx, and paid extra for it. She got a shipping notice and tracking information the day after she placed the order. It took FedEx a week to get the package to our local Post Office. Once the Post Office got the package, we had it the next day. This was the FedEx idea of "expedited" shipping. The next order she put in, she took the free shipping option, via the Post Office all the way. She ordered Sunday night, the package was in the mail system on Monday, and we received it Wednesday. Same company, same size package, same origin location (Columbus, Ohio), same destination address.

There are a lot of weather disturbances that have been happening over the last couple of weeks. I've had delays lately with some of my packages but I understand it's the weather.
Its not the weather.........

I think it might be cost-prohibitive to ship juice via UPS or FedEx. Generally, they are used for heavier items. I think FedEx's min. charge is something close to $13. That is probably why most juice vendors don't use UPS or FedEx - not many consumers would be willing to pay that kind of $$ for shipping.
I've honestly had the best service from USPS. UPS is my arch-enemy. VERY few deliveries from UPS are delivered properly to my home. I could go on a loooooooong rant about UPS, but suffice it to say that I would rather something be shipped to me via pony express than UPS.
YMMV, tho.

I had a few of those from my book swap lately......scans just stopped. But the items still arrived pretty much on time. They were still moving though not SHOWING any movement.
I sent a pck to my mom from AR to NY and she got it in 2 days!
I don't understand what you mean. If it was a Priority 2-day shipment it has to have tracking. Are you saying there has been no movement on the tracking? That, for the current status quo, would be normal. Since the first of the year I have had packages that showed no tracking activity after they were received by USPS - until the package arrived at the local sorting facility.or even in a couple of cases not until it was at my door.
USPS must have changed something - either in software or procedures - shortly after the first of the year because that's when this batch of "no tracking info" complaints began to rear up.

I recently had a vape mail package take 3 weeks to get to me. It was stuck in Houston, Texas for most of that time! I know they had bad weather for part of that time, nut I seriously believe they just chose not to process it out of their facility. I did put a claim in after waiting 2 weeks.
Google "vape ups delivery" and "vape fedex delivery"(without the quotes).
First Class Parcels (most of the vape mail) is only required to be scanned upon acceptance by the post office and again when delivered. Priority is to be scanned in and out at each stop along the way.
With the requirement that the USPS pay retirement benefits 75 years in advance, the closing of sorting centers, reduction in staff and lack of business (less advertising mail, fewer catalogs, no magazines, online bill paying and bank statements, who sends letters anymore) it is going to get a lot worse unless we want to pay actual costs. See European postal rates.

That is the Houston Hell Hole sorting facility. All of the smaller town sorting facilities in the area were closed down. This resulted in everything being shifted to Houston. I'm 120 miles north of the Houston facility. All of my mail goes through there. The night before the mail is to be delivered it is loaded on a truck. The truck goes 75 miles north of Houston where it sits until it is time for the driver to deliver to the small town post offices. I envision it being parked at the Waffle House with the driver inside drinking coffee while flirting with the waitresses.
I was told by local postal employees that it is common for a package to be at the bottom of a holding container. As other packages are processed the package(s) at the bottom are overlook with more packages thrown on top. The same delay happened to one of my packaged. It was in PA. They did locate it. It was very beat up. Also, trucks are being used as holding facilities as there is no room left in the buildings.
Hope the claim worked out in your favor.

Yes, the claim worked out in my favor. I received my Subtank Nano on Tuesday, exactly 3 weeks after the vendor shipped it. Thanks for the explanation about the Houston sorting facility. I was under the impression that 1st class mail was supposed to move-not sit like 3rd class mail. I guess times are changing! I have had much better luck ordering from the Midwest and Northeast. Even a Colorado package made it to me in 4 business days

Absolutely the best vendor I've ever ordered from. They have a pretty good selection of juice. You'll have to play with your cart a bit, I think if you spend over a certain amount like $75ish, then FEDEX ground/home delivery (same thing) is about $6. Spend any less and it's more expensive. Every order of mine from there I make sure to spend $100 or so. I've never had as great service from any vaping vendor online than MVS, and I've tried just about all the big well known ones.
