FYI for anyone interested (Thank you Paul@MV):

I apologize about the delay in receiving your package. We have contacted USPS about this issue because we are getting numerous tickets on the same situation. They are very backed up and delayed due to the Holiday Season. They are very slow on updating their tracking status, most cases it will only show "Electronic Notice Received" till it is actually delivered. Their normal 2-5 business days are turning into 7-15 business days. Please be patient with us, we have no control over USPS once it leaves our warehouse until it says delivered or some other status.

Thanks,

- Paul

I get the same results when trying to track my order from MV. I called this morning and heard pretty much just what was quoted above. I hope to get it soon. Sucks to pay for priority shipping for nothing. :unsure:

Its my understanding that USPS doesn't actually provide tracking info, but rather "delivery confirmation". The service is almost pointless since 95% of the time they don't even provide an estimated delivery date... but it is what it is. Being that time of the year though, I don't expect the order I placed yesterday to arrive until late next week.

I think you will probably be surprised! I bet you get it closer to your normal delivery time... I placed an order that was shipped Tuesday and I got it today!

Good Luck

Surprise, surprize - I got my order today, too!
I'm impressed with the USPS for keeping the schedules this time of year. Coupled with MV's lightning-quick turnaround, I can place an order and still get it in my mail box in about 5 days with slow-boat shipping ;) (and I'm in the outskirts of Portland!)

I'd hate to dole out TOO much praise and make them to think they can start slackin on us, lol - but dang, I'm impressed!

You were right, I got my package Saturday morning... just in time for New Years. It was really surprising considering my packages never get here that quickly under normal circumstances

You should try living in Hawaii and waiting for a package lmao!!! madvapes has always processed and shipped my orders REALLY fast...it even gets to Honolulu in about 2 days ....but once it hits the Hawaii mail system....it slows down to the speed of turtles stampeding through peanut butter...I live on Kauai and from Honolulu (One Island over) it takes 3-4 days till I get it....I think the lady at our tiny Post office likes to hold packages hostage before putting them in the box. LOL
