Shipping question / EMS, then what?

[RobS]

Hi all,

I just ordered my first e-cig (M-401) and extra parts from Absolutely e-Cigs in China. I understand that they ship via EMS... My question is, once in the States, does it then go via USPS or UPS? Reason I ask is I gave my P.O. box as the shipping address which would be fine for USPS, but problematic if it is to be delivered by UPS. Absolutely contacted me, presumably when they began preparing my order, to state that a signature would be required by EMS/USPS and I might need to use a street address rather than the P.O. box. I wrote back to assure them that I would be required to sign for it when picking it up at the Post Office and that I receive international shipments there often. But then I got to wondering, did they truly mean USPS, or perhaps UPS?? I wrote back again just to confirm, but I have not heard back from them..

Please, someone with experience with shipments via EMS let me know about this? Keeping my fingers crossed that they do deliver via USPS!

Thanks

EMS goes to USPS!!! When you check your PO Box, there will be a message their to sign & pickup your order at the counter.

Don't keep emailing them, your going to confuse them and never get your order!

Thats how it works.

Good Luck

Just as soon as I posted, I received a reply back from Absolutelyecigs.
They confirmed EMS --> USPS. The reply just took awhile, whereas my other correspondence with them was usually immediately answered.
They seem very responsive, and I get a good feeling dealing with them.

Can't wait for the arrival of my 401 in the black! I also ordered a few more batteries, a fair number of extra atomizers, and a few boxes of carts, although I do plan to refill with e-liquid.

I've been going through the reviews voraciously, and I think I will be ordering Cash's e-liquids via Puresmoker as soon as they're back. I will be ordering True Menthol, Riskee (I hope its good to me), and Peach. I'm considering French Pipe as well. Just not really sure whether to go 24mg or one step lower (I imagine that's 16 or 18 or such..). I was about a pack-a-day analog Menthol, so not really sure which would be similar...

Great board you've got here, I can't read enough of your great info and contributions!

If you smoke ultra light analog like me, you might want to order low or medium nic juice(6-14 mg nic). But, if you smoke the heavy stuff like Marlboro red or similar, go for the high or extra high nic juice (18-36mg nic). Hope that help.

French Pipe is what I chose to go with when I saw he was out of Camel. Man, I'm almost glad he was out, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten to experience this truly delightful flavor. Not sure how it will fare on the palette of a Menthol Man, but it was surely satisfying to this Turkish Fiend. Mild but rich, very flavorful with a hint of sweetness complex profile. Simply yummy. Put it this way, it's going to be a hard choice for me when Puresmoker re-opens.

Ben, have you ever smoked Gauloises Brunes (I'm sure they were made from Turkish tobacco and dark roasted)? If so, is French Pipe or Camel anything like them.
