Good Morning Shiny People

 

[ShowMeTwice]

Good afternoon, evening and morning (Wed. future dwellers)

I received the replacement GV Lucid mods from Avail. Both were shrink wrapped. They dun good!

Also received my Cosmic Innovations Labyrinth mech mod from Roadside. It's a nice hard hitter.

Hope y'all are having a good one!

Good afternoon folks. I have a question-- has anyone had to pay import fees on an order? My QP designs rta order finally cleared customs and UPS sent me an email stating that I needed to pay $20. If I pay the driver can they take cash?

I just used pp and paid the shipper. I had the same happen with my 2nd qp order.

That's a good question. I've never had to pay any import fees on gear. A couple weeks ago I received a package from France and one from Switzerland. One was via DHL and the other FedEx. No fees were required.

Only thing I found was this...

"Postal Service delivery unit employees must collect these duties and fees from the addressee once the dutiable mail is delivered."

ThanksAbunch... Which QP hardware are you rolling with? I really wanted to get my order in before things went really really south...

Thanks man. I didn't have to pay it on either of my orders from Switzerland, but was warned of the possibility from Canada.

In the last month I ordered twice from qp and no fees.

Strange, we live in the same state too..

Very odd. Only thing I can think is I have them mailed to my office. Used PP both times.

Just bought a rope of this. Thanks @Letitia

13 feets is by far my favorite cotton that I've ever used I'm not extremely picky about cotton but I like the way it comes it doesn't have that squeaky feeling that just makes my teeth hurt that some cotton does. Ever since I started using it I haven't used anything else and if you do end up liking it it also comes in a four pack for a little more than double the price of one pack

Did you have an issue with a product there from avail. I'm only asking because my brand new flux that I got from them the battery door just fell off the first time I used it and it's not a detachable battery door so even though it was on sale it would still be nice to have a solution for that I don't know how that would work out right now with shipping and everything but I did email them just haven't heard anything

Now I have room for more.

Wanna know what's bad? I have two of those

I bought them locally a while back to use for atty storage, and they are still empty and waiting

Yes. On the 15th I ordered 2 GeekVape Lucid 80w mods ($6.58 ea). When I received them both boxes were already opened (no shrink-wrap). Both mods had a very noticeable atty swirl. @Vandal had the same issue with hers (3 of 4 IIRC ???). Both of us sent them photos and Avail shipped out replacements. I was told to keep the first two.

It did take them a day to get back to me when I contacted them. They sent an email with the USPS tracking number.

Did you include a photo of the Flux and its broken battery door in your email to them? If not I would do that.

Last November I'm pretty sure it was you who mentioned some decent items they had on clearance. I bought a dotMod dotBox 75w from them and that was perfectly fine.

In shiny news, my tripod (not the RTA) is at the PO. Can't wait to use it. Even for my early dawn pics, it will help immensely - especially when I'm over-caffeinated

Kizoku with NarTa (clone) on top. I call her 'the little giant'.

She and the Mixx are best buds.

Yeah it could have been me I usually do get stuff from there when they're having one of their doorbusters sales and I've never had a problem until this. Yeah I sent them a couple photos of it. I guess I'll wait until tomorrow and if they haven't gotten back to me I'll probably go ahead and send them another email or give them a call. Thank you so much for letting me know how your situation went.

I have a second one too, still in wrapper. Was thinking orings and screws for that one or spare glass.

I still really want a Kizoku techmod, especially after finding @Tim Wiseman's review
