Actually I think it's a Burro AKA Pack Mule. USPS is like a herd of turtles...
I put my order in last Wednesday and it's still processing... And I live in Iceland so it's gonna take 7-10 days to get here and then I have to pay about 90 bucks in taxes.
So just remember - There will always be someone having a worse day than you.

It's probably shipped and the system hasnt updated. I have had the same thing happen to me. I just got a delivery today and the system still shows In processing,

Wow, Iceland! OMG I'm feeling soooo blessed that my orders only take 2 days and the taxes are so small....90 bucks for you, shoot I wish I was the tax receiver and I could use that for a whole new order lol
I think I'd be DIY'ing if I was you

Yupyup, Iceland...
I am too inexperienced and quite frankly too lazy to make my own juice
But hey, I'm planning on going to college in California in a year, so... It's only a problem until then =)

Wow, u really got to plan ahead, was that tough when u where a newbie .... i guess its a fine line, for me i dont want go spend a ton on things i not even sure if i want or need .... on the other hand some stuff is consumables so u gotta take into account where your supplies will be in three weeks if mail takes close to 2 weeks.
LOL i use that worse day analogy alot too ... tell my kids in tennis, there is all ways someone better and some one worse so dont worry about rankings. (well its not true if u happen to ranked #1, luckly they dont rank #last)
yes ......... Outlaw is right, any tracking by USPS is about 1/2 day laggin on average for me ... Fed Ex or UPS seems to track very well for me.
It takes 2 weeks to get to me in NZ. But I don't have to pay any tax on it. 90 bucks! Sheesh.
It is very hard... Plus, e liquid is illegal here so I have to be prepared for the worst - that customs seize it.
Stupidest rules ever.
I was just speculating on the 90 bucks... It's probably more, though.
This was my second time ordering from SI, the first time a friend of mine was in the US, so I just sent it to her and she brought it here in her luggage.
I once bought a framed picture ( genuine autographed ) in a frame, about the size of an A4.
It cost 100 bucks.
I had to pay 50 bucks in customs and taxes... For a framed photograph. It wasn't heavy or made out of gold or anything, just a friggin' photo.
So... my order was 200$, Will probably be heavy, in a pretty big box... It's gonna be 90-100 bucks in customs and taxes.
But, hey - In less than a year I will be going to college in OC, California.
It will be very weird ordering stuff and actually thinking "wow... I will not have to pay anything more when this arrives"
Plus, you know - free shipping within the US, hooray ! The last order from SI cost 28$ to ship ( but, then again - it was 200$ worth of stuff )

That's crazy.
We even have to pay taxes on stuff that gets sent to us from Europe... Because we're not a part of the European Union...

Yes, Imagine.

no worries I believable she said it shipped a few days ago so I am glad it all worked out
WOW! That's nuts, and we complain about taxes here in the US! Don't tell any of our politicians, they may get some ideas!

Wow.. read a little on Iceland and taxes. First off 26% VAT. Ouch! Then a 30% duty tax. Ouch again. That's a 56% tax to get something purchased outside of Iceland into your country. Maybe I got my numbers wrong.. but dang..
Then a look at individual income tax rates..
37.34% for income between ISK 0-230.000 pr. month
40,24% for income between ISK 230.000-704.367 pr. month
46,24% for income exceeding ISK 704.367 pr. month
Those percentages just look crazy. Hopefully there is more to it than just what I am reading. I know almost little to nothing about Iceland except there are some very beautiful landscapes there and it is cold.
Man dude, I feel sorry for those types of taxes. Here we are complaining about 6.5% sales tax.
Wow... You really studied ! Haha.
There is more to it, sure... Though I can't explain it that well.
We have extremely good healthcare... So, that's something...
But yeah, a 56% tax is absolutely ....ing ridiculous... But STILL... Cheaper than smoking !
There are many things I'm mad about... For example, my uncle goes to high school in Norway, and he gets paid for going to high school... The government pays kids to study ! He got a free laptop and gets 50.000 ISK per month ( 420$ )
Not that school is particularly expensive here or anything... But it just always seems as we are getting the most ....
Groceries are also more expensive...
Iceland is not thaaat cold We go down to about -10°C ( 14°F ) on our worst winterdays ( I went to Finland for a month this February and it was -25°C ( -13°F ) the first 3 weeks, THAT'S cold !
But our summers get pretty hot ! Like 25°C ( 77°C )
Also, we were the first country to have a female president... And the mayor of Reykjavík ( The Capital ) is the biggest comedian in Iceland who joined the election as a joke.
I am not proud, haha
But just out of curiosity, what is the average paycheck per month, before taxes in the US ?
