    Went to BCF to make a five-flavor order with some bottles. Just over $15 after discount, but the only shipping option they give me is FedEx at $13. I haven't had that experience with them before. Is that their new policy?
    NO. Mine is coming USPS

    All my previous orders came that way (USPS), too. Nothing strange about the order. One 60ml and four 30ml plus a few empty bottles, none bigger than 4 oz. It keeps putting that FedEx option and nothing else.

    That has me wondering too. Could you message them and ask why?

    I've got three FT orders, of which only one has shipped. I got some cheap Smoant Taggerz kits, throwaway mods, but they were only $18, and I got some more Dead Rabbits. Also, there are some assorted odds and ends. I've been browsing, but I'm not buying. I had an order for replacement bottles for the Gbox I got from Uncle. That was from DHgate, but they cancelled it, and I can't find them anywhere else. If anybody knows where I can get them, give me a holler.

    Buying a mod just because it's cheap isn't always a good idea. I have a couple mods I hate using. They are in the back of my stash.
    Well, I would only buy decent mods that were cheap. I wouldn't buy just anything I see for 10 bucks or something.

    Thank you! Every dollar counts. I picked up six 18650s and four 21700s. I looked on mooch’s list to make sure I was buying good ones. Picked up some of those molicel’s someone recommended the other day. I need to do some research on batteries. I probably got bigger ones than I need but I’m no tootle puffer that’s for sure.

    It's likely your empty bottles are causing FedEx to be the only option. With your flavorings + bottles, it probably can't all fit in a PM Flat Rate Bubble envelope. If your bottles are glass, a bubble envelope isn't good protection anyway. The next option by USPS would be a Medium Flat Rate PM box at $15.95 or thereabouts.

    My order came by FedEx in a bubble envelope, but there were no glass bottles in it or 4oz. empty plastic ones, just flavorings in the PET plastic bottles. But that was their choice of carrier, since it was Free S/H.

    I was thinking most about hand feel. I have big problem with a mod that doesn't feel good in my hand.

    What flavors did you order? I was thinking that I heard something once about flavors with alcohol in them not shipping via USPS. I’d send them an email. They’re usually very good about responding.

    I thought of that and took the bottles (plastic) off the order, but it's staying the same with FedEx the only option. One thing is noticed is the 60ml peppermint flavor has this included:
    1 x Peppermint-TFA (Bulk/Restricted Shipping)

    I don't know if that's the problem or not. I've ordered peppermint from them several times with no problem. The bottles are just the normal gorilla bottles that I've ordered from them before.

    Flavorings with EA in them are OK to be sent by USPS, as long as each one is 30mL size or smaller. It's when they're a larger size that they can't go by air.

    BINGO! That's the problem! You could order (2) 30mL and be OK, but no single bottle larger than that. Of course...the cost for 2 30mL is more than 1 60mL.

    What about 2 30ml instead.

    Is everyone still shopping?
    Apparently I still am shopping. :facepalm: I just need one more thing and I’m done. :facepalm: Maybe flavors from gremberry but I dunno...I’ve spent too much already.

    3 more days! Yikes!

    I’m very lazy today as well. When you mentioned your white rush being a biscuit recipe I went straight into the kitchen and made biscuits and gravy. :laugh: I’ve been too full ever since. That gravy is sitting like a brick in my stomach. :confused:

    I'll be trying the White Rush soon. My tank is about empty.
