I bought a bunch of Billet stuff from 3F recently. Paypal excepted my payment but 3F didn't issue me an order number. I opened a ticket then I saw the next day that all my items were still in my cart. No reply from them for 3 days. Finally get an answer fixing the problem but she said that one item was holding up the order due to out of stock and do I want to wait or send the rest of the items. First of all, when I put that item in my cart it wasn't out of stock. I'm kind of miffed. Then my friend who had placed a FT order (SXK BB) 3 weeks ago finds out that it's still sitting in China. Some excuse about stricter customs rules. Idk, I'm getting paranoid about China shipping lately.

 

[muth]

Thanks. I got it from FT, the SXK version.

How long did it take?

I feel like I've been through the wringer lately so my little head is going down on a soft pillow. G'nite shiners

 

[ShowMeTwice]

How long did it take?

13 days. One of the quickest shipments I've had from FT actually.

 

[englishmick]

Thanks for posting. Had this on the wish list for a while.

Edit: No luck. "We don’t offer shipping to Indiana."
Thanks anyways.

Damn, I never heard that before. There aren't any State regs I'm aware of. I hope that's not a sign of trouble coming our way. I have a couple of orders in the mail that went through without any trouble.

I'm not sure if this is just dated BS from the previous/temporary ban that was overturned. - Federal court finds part of vaping law unconstitutional
Breazy is the only other site that I know of that doesn't ship to IN.

 

[Ricky Vapes]

Oh wow, can't you find something cheaper on Amazon or craig's list or something?

I found one at Walmart that night on sale for Black Friday which went on all weekend. Regular 169 on sale for 99. She’s very happy with it and so am i, I suppose. Very tall and bushy. Moms phoning everyone and telling them how nice it is. I already got her a nice knife set for Xmas but this can be her other gift .

Email the vendor this. Can't hurt.

Good morning shinies

Hope everyone is bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning

Nothing much to report today as I haven't checked my tracking yet.

Hey Ricky

How's it going with the drop trap? Have you managed to get her underneath it? I for one will be much happier when she is safe at your place. I have daily visions of rabbits, pallets and front loaders

 

[Eskie]

Good morning shiners! Waiting on shipping notices on some FT stuff (not sure how that all didn't end up in the same order), but otherwise relaxing after the feeding frenzy. OK, not a big frenzy, but a few things over the Black Friday sales. More like munchies.

 

[DeloresRose]

Morning all!

My ARE order is on the move. I looked at that email again, a little miffed that they had that sale 5 seconds after I bought mine. But the matte black is sold out again, so now I don’t feel so bad. That one must be really popular. I’d rather have the one I want than one I’m not crazy about, even if it’s cheaper.

Looks like the brass is in stock now but oy, I’d better do inventory before I buy any more stuff!

 

[Letitia]

Good morning Shiny's
Think everything at least has a shipping label.

Hey Ricky

Hey Charlie the drop trap is the second option. I have a single door trap at my work right now sitting next to her house. The lady said to keep it there a couple days to get her used to it. Put her food near it . I washed it all so no smells were on it. I’m gonna disguise it a bit with hay I think. Make it seem less scary looking for her. Then put her favourite food in it and keep checking it every hour or more so she doesn’t stay in it very long alone and scared.

Wish me luck


If this doesn’t work the drop trap will be next option. That takes some more work as I have to pull it with a string myself

Afternoon Shinies! I'm still trying to sort out a couple of reviews but a recurring virus loves me so much it won't go away, I'm more brain dead than usual so writing is hard just now. Insta posts are easy enough though!

I do have an incoming review thing via China Post, should be the RBA Coil setup for the Joyetech Exceed Grip, I'm hoping it will be here before 2020, it's been flying around the planet since 22/11

Shiny hugs to all.

Hey good to see you back.... And good to hear you're still reviewing. To be honest the worst shipping is Canada. I'm still waiting for a package sent out in the 04/11 it's unbelievable. Happens every time for Canada.... I've even got the accessories I bought before the item.... Jeez

I'm so frustrated with my mail carrier there's this one older guy who I've caught numerous times claiming that he can't deliver the mail because of an obstruction or nobody being home to sign for it when there is no obstruction and he never tried to contact anyone. When I got the Armageddon delivered it was signature mandated and I'm looking at my Tracker app and it says that no one was available to sign for it but I know for a fact that no one attempted to deliver it because my house is puny and me and my husband were both sitting right here. So knowing how this Postman is I march out to the mailbox and sure enough he's sitting there at the community mailboxes I go up to him and I asked about my package, he hands me my package and says well it's dark out... but yeah when you don't deliver to this neighborhood that you know you have to get out of the car for until after 7 at night it's going to be dark. Yesterday I was supposed to get my vapewild package which has a gift in it that I can't get again because it was a special Black Friday thing. It says it'll be delivered before 8 at 7:50 I see the mailman go by he went through my neighborhood past the mailboxes and drove out saying that the packages and all the mail was undeliverable that day due to having no access. Usually they consider no access basically if the mailman has to get out of the car to deliver the mail but the way the post service set up the boxes here they have to get out no matter what so that's not applicable here. There's plenty of access to where they are there was plenty of access last night he just chose not to deliver the mail which he does pretty much one out of three times that he's on duty. I just needed to vent because it's so frustrating and of course because they don't even attempt to deliver the mail you don't get one of those slips that c but you can collect your mail somewhere and therefore you can't just ask them to hold the mail at the facility so you can pick it up. You have to hope that he decides to come a little earlier than next day to the place he has to get out of the car for because after the second attempt they no longer try and while they're supposed to hold it for a certain amount of time at the post office sometimes they just ship it back to the sender which then looks like your fault because to an outside person it would seem that your mailbox was not available but in fact it's just the postman lying and it's not even my mailbox to begin with it's a community mailbox. I'm so frustrated it's one thing to wait I don't mind waiting I have no problem waiting for FastTech and other orders like that I don't like it when I can basically have to pay shipping again because my mailman refuses to do his job and then lies about the reason for it. I'm thinking about reporting this to USPS but then I'm afraid my packages will start going missing. I know no one can help me with this but I just needed to vent at how ridiculous this is

My last purchase from FastTech came in a record 9 days from purchase to delivery so I think we might be blowing a Little Smoke saying that the Customs is holding it up or whatever. And it was clearly Vape mail. This was only a couple weeks ago so unless things have changed since then it was after they announced no online sales in China

Morning shinies

Built the Krma RDA this morning. Airflow wide open is my perfect draw. it's more restricted than the NarCa RDA but a lot more open than the Venna RDA.

Piece of cake to build, huge well, and I'm testing out the flavour right now

I got this version - everything, including o-rings was flawless
$5.88 Krma Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - 304 stainless steel / 22mm diameter / w/ BF pin at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Me? I’d report them. And a real official report so there is no question you’re serious. If packages or real mail then go missing I’d follow up with the regional postal people as that’s a federal crime. You’re entitled to service and if they don’t provide it you should have the right to complain without fear of retribution. You’ll know if something goes missing after it tracking all the way to your local post office. If they then “lose” it they’re breaking the law and are subject to more than immediate termination. And one thing a postal worker, especially an older worker, never wants is that. They’re staying in that job for all the benefits they sure don’t want to lose.

As it sounds like this a a community postbox system, if you can get neighbors on board too they’ll have no choice but to change policies.
