Really closed?

[Phoenix~]

First of all..Happy Holidays everyone!
I'm cozy warm, snuggling with my two year old on the couch. He's watching The Lorax. I'm surfin for presents for my hubby (and my self). We put the analogs down together just about three months ago...I'm having so much fun window shopping on the net for his vape present for X-Mas!!
There are several vape sites that closed for business for the holiday. Understandably...the holidays are for spending time with your loved ones. I get not taking orders and not responding to emails. BUT...I still wanna shop and compare. I still wanna drool even if I can't purchase at the moment!!! I'm sure lots of us are doing a lot of shopping with time off from work and school . Seems like they would at least let us keep looking....I'm just sayin! Geeeeez! Lol...and I chuckle as I write this! Happy vaping and Happy Holidays!

Which sites are disallowing shopping and ordering? All the sites I've been visiting are taking orders, but not processing/shipping until Monday.

Want 2 Vape is one...and there's at least one more...

I ordered today from smokeless image with no problems and then ordered some juice from johnson creek without any issues at either site.

 

[Dovahkiin]

vapedudes is another and I respect that they are closed.

 

[Phoenix~]

I respect they are closed too...I would do the same as far as not taking orders. Just wish I could continue to browse is all....not real good for business IMO ... But I got to thinking about it, and I'm not real sure how those sites work. Maybe the only way to stop orders is to temporarily close the site down all together?

Come on guys and gals! They deserve a holiday, just like everyone else!

That is not good business at all!!!! They should have posted that they are not processing orders but to take down their whole site except for a home page for a week promotes loyal customer base to switch suppliers because they can't even browse!!!

Just my 2 cents

It makes absolutely no sense to completely shut down your entire website. That's just a good way to lose business. There's plenty of sites up where you can browse and order...those are the one's that will be making money this weekend.

If you scroll down the main forums page, there's a seasonal forum with all the holiday sales/deals being put up!!!! Woohoo!

Exactly what I was saying buddy it makes absulotely no business sense to me!!! You would think you open a business to make MONEY then on a weekend that consumers spend the most before Christmas you close up shop for a WEEK ..... Why did you open the business in the first place???? I am all for taking a vacation but you really need to pick your times at doing that! Say you get a job in a mall you know full well the week leading up to Xmas and the week after could be longer on both sides your boss would laugh at you if you TRIED to book time off or close the store for that matter! All I am saying very poorly timed and way to go about it!

Really yall the "loyal" Customer base is going to run away cause they have the shop closed...Doesnt sound very loyal to me.

If they are say out of town, visiting family...just turning off the shopping cart isnt much good. Cause you know some(several) ding bats wont read the front page and send emails going...why cant I order, this is is not good business at all! Where are the prices etc etc etc. Sometimes its by far simpler to just turn it all off.

These companies are NOT walmarts....99% of them are literally mom and pops... Lay off. If they want the time off...they need the time off. What biz of it is of yours. Your out to make money too...how about you work every single day of the year. Remember these owners dont have "hours" They work when they have to work.


Respectfully...another small biz owner(not ecigs) who has answered about 20 emails and taken 5 phone calls(which I got glared over) B/C I wasnt smart enough to just turn it off today.

That's good you will be able to get your fix!!!! Go team you!!! Lol

Bud I am saying business is business am I a customer of theirs no but I mean if I can't see their stuff chances are I am not going to become a customer either i realize running a small business is hard work and the work never stops but that's what THEY signed up for

 

[UntamedRose]

Again...its Their biz. Stop whining about it.

They don't have a business without the people like me so no I will speak my mind don't like it .... Don't read it

 

[UntamedRose]

Sure they dont.

 

[Matix04]

Lol oh yeah you say you run a small business I would love to see where yours is without a consumer base

 

[UntamedRose]

you seem to confuse "consumer base" and loyal customer, who knows the owners and has done biz with them for years..... with still hackin up tar noobie, random dude with a nasty attitude. HUGE difference

 

[Matix04]

Lol yeah I have a bad attitude yet your the one that just made it personal I thought I was having an adult discussion talk to me if you want to have a conversation not a name calling match
