Hope nobody minds, but I have to vent or I'm gonna punch something... :mad::mad::mad:

So I've been excitedly waiting for a couple a shipments to arrive. One is a couple of ecigs ordered from one company, and the other, supplies for them (pcc & ejuice) from another. The supplies arrived yesterday. Great!

So... I run out of cigarettes this morning, and I figure: Hey, no problem. Cigs should be here this morning, and I should be able to use them this afternoon. I can make it.
Yeah, right...

The e-cigs just arrived in Calgary this afternoon and won't be delivered until tomorrow sometime! The post office claims that Xpresspost is actually 3 days because it was sent from Peterborough on Sunday. Bull! It sat in Mississauga for a day and a half to start with, and if you go into ANY Canada Post outlet, the shipping options chart on the wall clearly says 1-2 days within Canada! It turns out that the 3 day thing applies to anything mailed to or from a non major urban center, and is buried in the fine print on their website.

I don't know about anyone else, but I would consider that chart at the post office false advertising... I've been thinking of complaining to the competition bureau about it, but I suspect that it's just because I'm extra PO'd right now due to a lack of nicotine in my system....
I definitely need to remember to order e-juice much earlier than I need it as I obviously can't rely on Canada Post. Guess I'm going to buy one last pack of smokes after all....

Anyway, sorry for the rant, but I had to vent. Lesson learned I guess.
Have to go now. Wife's home, and she has smokes!
 
nuclear....I feel your pain, try being in a small town on the east coast....takes 4 full days express from anywhere. Now one thing I could help notice, and I am not sure what you ordered but you have a very local vendor in Calagry.... its jugheads.co He has awesome prices on his hardware and juices (plus some real cool nifty stuff)...and I do have to say the best customer service I have ever had. If you contact him I am sure he could help you out for the future...if you do contact him, tell him Big Jim recommended you to him.

Hahaha try ordering from China if you think that's bad.

Ordering from China Air Mail is like watching paint dry. hahahahahahaa
I'm on my fourth order from China and I don't even watch the tracking anymore. It gets here when it gets here. One has to think at least a month in advance when ordering from China.

Hey, I just had a major insurance problem this week. It took 2 WEEKS for 2 separate insurance cheques to get sent from Guelph to Richmond Hill!!! Of course, Tuesday I gave up and had to get them to charge my credit card and guess what.....they arrived Wednesday!!!

I too am currently awaiting express post on supplies from BC. Postsman has already been so the 2 days isn't applying to me either!!!!

Wow. I have the opposite experience.

My China orders have always been exceptional. Exactly what I ordered and in my hands weeks before anything from the US.

Just don't ship "airmail". I've ordered from heaven gifts, and greenhouse one numerous times. I always choose the cheapest shipping option,

I have never paid more than $6. My products never get caught up in Customs, and they're in my hands in less than 9 days. US orders usually take 3+ weeks.

I could not order something from Ontario regular mail for double the shipping rate, and expect it to be here in 9 days.

I order from Canadian sites when I can and when I need it now, but I'll buy from China before I buy from the states.

Package arrived this morning. Had to chase the postal worker to the next mailbox though...
COD order and she just put it in the mailbox... I like free, but I'd also like to order from that supplier again!

Not liking the JC Marlboro flavor though. Taste is ok, but the smell that lingers in my sinuses for 4 hours after is disgusting...
Someone please tell me that the residual scent is related to the particular flavour and not the PG or VG..

*EDIT* - I changed to the other flavour I ordered when I got home from work tonight. Mental Menthol. THAT is much better. Also, the Dumay my wife ordered isn't half bad either. Neither one has the disgusting smell that lingers in my head.
