The last time I bought from sourcemore was back in 2021. At the time, I thought they used a rowboat to ship the package to Norway
I haven't ordered any gear from abroad for years. Kind of glad given all the horror stories.
International postage is getting odd generally. My wife went to mail a Christmas package yesterday to the GS in Japan. She got stuff that was light and cheap. A hat, pack of his favorite socks, and a couple of polo shirts. They gave her a long form to fill out. They wanted to know the number of socks in the pack, and the individual weights of all the items. She told the lady behind the counter she didn't have any idea. She weighed the package and told my wife to just guess the individual weights so it worked out OK. That's all new.
My guess is there's a lot of scrambling going on to get around the unintended consequences of the recent changes to low value packages. It shows up in lots of different experimental ways.

I am most surprised that 3F and 2F have survived, thought their time would be short after FT closed its doors.
2F has a little bit of everything, not like FT had, but better than 3F.
Most of what I buy is from European stores, the American ones operate with high shipping costs, have a larger size of the order the shipping costs become 2-3 times more expensive, most European ones have flat or low shipping costs increase with larger orders.

Right now I'm in doubt about what I want to buy, whether I should take a little shopping break until I agree with myself.
Many times I feel like buying a mini mill and making my own mods, sometimes I like what I see of mods too.

I received a response from Sourcemore saying the shipping numbers were mixed up. I’m pretty sure I’ve had that happen before which proves the point that the current shipping method isn’t any better than past ones. The tracking on the new number just shows label created. The last couple times I’ve needed vaping stuff, I ordered from US sites. It’s a little more expensive but I don’t have to deal with this hassle. Ecigmafia got my order delivered quickly and next time I need pods or something for work then I’ll probably just pay a little more and avoid the trouble.
Funny health ministry we have, now all electronic cigarettes we import ourselves are illegal. They were nice and gave us 1 month notice.

I was expecting my macro lens from Japan to take forever to arrive, especially at this time of the year. But it's already landed in NZ.
This isn't going to help my willpower at all.

Sourcemore update. The rep said they would ask the shipping company to expedite my order since it’s been over a month. I honestly didn’t believe anything would happen but magically it went from no tracking to supposedly being delivered tomorrow.
Well, it looks like usps has fumbled the ball. The tracking changed from tomorrow to Saturday even though it’s already arrived at the local depot.
