Tasty Vapor special - Toronto

[aggo]

Hi GTA vapers. Tasty Vapor is having a 3-for-the-price-of-2 special which ends on January 30 (or more like the end of Sunday). Just wondering if anyone in Toronto would be interested in sharing an order so we can split the cost of shipping ($23.25). It'd be preferable to do this with members I know.....hope you understand....and sorry for the late notice Thought I'd give it a try. PM me if interested and we can discuss the details.

Thanks!

Wow, why is shipping so expensive???

 

[smokum]

Probably to cover the hassle of returned then re-shipping when customs gets a burr in there butts......

If it gets here then its worth the price.

Aggo I wish you posted this a day prior

 

[ChellyNelly]

I dunno about that, Smokum. Even if it was true, I would rather pay $3-10 for shipping (which is fair IMO) and take my chances of not having it reshipped on the off chance that it gets stopped by Customs then pay $24.

Just my opinion, though. Carry on

LOL Priority and a medium box, of course that will be expensive. And we all know that vendors pay way less than that.

To be more realistic (every juice order I've received has come in a bubble envelope):
Priority Mail® International Padded Flat Rate Envelope
Maximum Value for Contents: $400.00
USPS-Produced Envelope: 12-1/2" x 9-1/2"
Maximum weight 4 pounds.

$12.95 - vendor discount.

I've been buying from TV for the last 18 months, and they have offered $11 something Small box shipping up until this month for up to 8 or so ounces of juice. The problem has been that with "that" form of shipping, you do not get tracking information when you look it up, and usually takes 11 business days (3 weeks) to get anywhere international. If you ordered 10 oz or more, it went up in shipping to the next level which was the Medium box, and was what is now the minimum level of shipping. This is beneficial in two ways. One: Proper tracking info (so you know if customs stop it). Two: It gets here in a week.

A lot of "internationals" place larger orders to offset the shipping costs, basically ordering with friends etc. which I have done on numerous occasions. They have also complained to Geoff at TV about how long the small box shipping takes, and the fact that they cannot track it, which is what has led to him now only offering the Higher level of shipping internationally.

If you do the math right, and order the right levels/quantities of juice, TV's juices can end up being as low as $0.25 per ml even with the higher shipping option.

It is just not conducive to ordering 1oz or so at a time..

Also as a general heads-up to Aggo and anyone else that may want TV juices, I generally order by Tuesday when this special goes on (which is about once every two months). I also usually place orders when Geoffs Blend goes on sale.

 

[ChellyNelly]

Thanks for the explanation, Dust. Exactly what I was looking for

Daniel at GRBC sells a bunch of TV juices but you guys probably know that. Anyways I pay $24.95 for shipping from Juicyvapour in the US, yes it is expensive but it is FAST, I always get my "aroma therapy samples" within 5 days of being shipped, so i dont mind the extra cost.....plus i always try to split it with a buddy

 

[aggo]

Well, a fellow on here might be interested, but he hasn't tried anything from TV before so I'll let him think it over. Also turns out that an American gent I talked to on the classifieds here, who was reluctant to ship some TV Geoff's Blend to Canuckistan has just changed his mind. I could still make an order if at least one other person wants to so I'll see what happens tomorrow. Sorry again for the short notice.

I see, i get Geoffs Blend for my wife from Gentlemens reserve, dont have to worry about the good ol' border

True, but TV doesn't mind shipping to Canada (at least not yet) and they also have doublers which add more value. If at least a couple of people pool in for a TV order it's a pretty good deal as Dusty said.

They don't do flavour shot's unless you're "creating your own".. fyi.

well there goes that then "

 

[aggo]

Actually, TV does have flavouring bottles so you can tweak to your liking.

Welcome to Tasty Vapor

For their pre-mixed juices, you really don't need any additional flavour.. comes with plenty. One recommendation, don't add sweetener. It takes away from the taste. Buy a bottle separately and add if you want.

Ok well i have lots of TV watermelon bubblegum from Daniel at GRBC and it is great, just though it would be interesting to have MORE flavor haha. I will just stick with what i have.
