Rant: I HATE slow shipping.

[Skunchy]

So I ordered from a supplier who was repped to be an extremely fast shipper. It's been five business days and its not here I only have a couple of drops of juice left and I can't wait tomorrow because I'm going out of town. Damn this sucks. I might have to go back to analogs to get my nicotine fix for the weekend. Of course its USPS which the tracking is useless. Took a while to get the email for shipping confirmation (two business days!)

Damn you NiteliteVapor!

most head shops and tobacco stores like cigar shops have juice

i guarantee that you have both close to you there's no reason to go back to analogs

Checkout the location specific forums. I'm sure someone in your area could get you some juice in a pinch. People are friendly on ECF.

Planet K in Austin sells E-cigs and a small selection of Johnson Creek juices. May not be the best, but since you're in a bind this should tide you over if you can get there.

Post on the subject

I wouldn't rush to blame the vendor. The problem is more likely to rest with our vaunted postal service. Especially if you opted for Priority Mail. They call it "Priority" but the fail to mention that it's not a particularly 'high' priority. Actually, I suspect the priority level is just slightly above Parcel Post.

This past weekend, I ordered some goodies from 5 different vendors in various parts of the country. All 5 vendors shipped this past Monday. 3 shipped "First Class Mail" and 2 shipped Priority Mail.
2 shipped from the east coast (1 First Class, 1 Priority) 2 shipped from the midwest (both First Class) and one from right here in southern California (Priority Mail).
Today is Thursday, and I've received all 3 First Class Mail packages (1 on Wednesday and 2 today). Postal tracking indicates that I should get my Priority Mail package from the east coast tomorrow but the Priority Mail package from so. Cal has been traveling between 3 different post offices, all in San Diego and is still there and still showing an expected delivery date of yesterday.
From past experience, I've concluded that Priority Mail takes between 2 and 5 days longer than First Class. It also costs about twice as much but I suspect that's because the Post Office charges storage fees for the extra time packages spend taking up space in their system.

Anyway, hope you get your goodies soon. Best of luck to you.

USPS and Priority mail.... Is that not a contradiction of terms.... What a cluster ............

 

[tat2d4life]

the only time I have ever had a delay with priority mail is if I ship to my po box.. somehow if its shipped to a post office it takes the full 5 days, but if it goes to my house I get it in 3.. go firgure

Time to turn those old bottles upside down overnight and find a syringe to get the last bit out. Worked for me in a pinch. Now I keep an emergency stash and try to keep up on my ordering. Will be nice when 7-11 has bottles of ry4! Good luck to you.

Hind Sight is always 20/20, but may be a good idea to have some VG and a flavor or 2 on hand for emergency mixing of some e-juice.

Vaporscene has a shop in Richarson or something like that.... They got 2 stores in Texas Pokerchick got a bunch of stuff from there last weekend...

I've never really run into a problem with USPS. Delivery conformation information is pretty accurate. Besides that, the price is right - flat rate shipping is a Godsend. From experience other carriers like UPS are more expensive and waaay slower if you do ground/economy.

Hate to be a Negative Nancy but- I JUST GET SO MAD AT EVERY SHIPPING SERVICE EVER. I just want my stuff the second after I order it... Is that so wrong?

Good luck with your package arriving last minute! /crosses fingers for you

Another member and I did a trade and I mailed her's 1st class and she got it in 2 days. She mailed mine Priority Mail and tracking said it would arrive today, 4 days after she shipped it. It was not in my mailbox today. Needless to say I'm not very happy with USPS.

 

[light487]

Even when it is overnight shipping and it takes 2 days I will RAGE about it.. let alone deliveries from the US or UK taking 2 to 3 weeks when the respective postal services "guarantee" a 3 to 5 day delivery time.

USPS is nothing but a joke. I have been waiting over 5 weeks for them to deliver. I might as well face the fact that someone in USPS stole my package. They are extremely dishonest people.
