Morning, mixers.

Chatter is for snow - here! - later on today. We'll see.

We have 28 this morning going to 30 with a snowstorm forecasted for tomorrow night.

Plans today are to do a coupls mixes.

28 sounds much better than... 8!

So, was going to place an order from Sourcemore. What I am ordering is in a bonded warehouse. Just what does that mean? Dummy here!
And, if still safe to order, how long is it taking now? Found a GREAT deal on Z coils.
:?::blink:

Per Mr. Google:
A bonded warehouse is a secure facility where imported goods can be stored, manipulated, or manufactured without paying import duties. Bonded warehouses are also known as customs warehouses.

So maybe the tariff situation won't apply? And possibly faster shipping since it's already State-side?

    That's unusual for them, isn't it? I'm just wondering about the tariffs holding things up. It's scary that you only got part of your order. Maybe since I am ordering just the z coils, it will be okay? Have you dealt with them a lot?
    I’ve ordered from them for several years and very seldom have issues. I placed this one around Xmas but some items were on preorder. It finally shipped but arrived without the rest of my order. I think they will eventually make it right but if they have to reship then I’m probably looking at another 3+ weeks. The biggest pain is the time difference and waiting a day for a response.

    Did you order more than one product?
    I placed an order on 8/16/2024 for Voopoo Drag5, Voopoo Pnp X coils, Uwell Caliburn G3 Lite pod system, Uwell Caliburn G3 pod cartridge. Received order on 9/9/2024. 3 weeks, no problem, I was very pleased.

    When I realized that I ordered some wrong things, I placed an order on 9/5/2024 for Uwell Caliburn G3 pro pod kit and Uwell Caliburn G3 pod cartridge. After going back and forth with their representative, I did get my order on 10/30/2024. For me it was too long and too much hassle.

    After being frustrated with Sourcemore, I placed the same 2nd order with ECigMafia on 9/9/2024 and received it on 9/12/2024.

    One good thing is my coils are NOT on pre order. Thanks for your info, hitt, and hope you get squared away with them.

    Good morning. I ordered two itanks, a boro tank, and some coils from Sourcemore but only received one itank. They are back from holiday and we have been going back and forth but have gotten nowhere yet. The always respond after I go to bed so I have to wait another day in between responses. Now it’s the weekend there so I will not hear from them until Monday. It’s getting a little frustrating.
    Good morning, hitt.:) Wishing you luck.

    On orders from China, I read something yesterday. There's currently a rule called De Minimus, I think, It's coming up because of the tariffs. Small packages below a certain value are exempt from import taxes and presumably tariffs, also they are exempt from customs checks. They are taking that away soon so even small packages with a few vape items will be taxed and checked by customs. The customs checking part could have a big impact. Might mean the end of all those Chinese filters we love so much.

    My last order from Sourcemore was a nightmare, also. I get the z coils from Lightfire Distribution in Fl for about the same price. I think you have to register to get the price.
    Well, that ship has sailed for me. Hoping I get lucky, as all I ordered were Z coils, ordered them at a cost of $6.50 a box. Lightfire was confusing for me and I do think you have to register even before they show a price?
