I do feel like I should warn everyone. There is a good chance this will be the last 99 cent sale :/

I am trying to keep it but wanted to let you know and be honest.

Thanks for the great sales while they lasted! I certainly did stock up. Always looking forward to more great Killer Concoctions!

Walt... still a minor site problem
If I go to DIY and click that, it doesn't show the last 4 flavorings... They do show if you click DIY Flavorings though.

Annnnnnnnnd..........my order has been placed

 

[Walt83]

Oh wowwwwwwww....

So USPS decided it had to much mail to fit on the truck, so it decided it would hold our packages until the next day -.-

Anyone that was having tracking issues. It should be fixed now.

 

[Walt83]

FYI we are most likely going to discontinue USPS First Class Mail. :/

 

[a wandering soul]

hate and love to hear that... what are the new options going to be?

I hate to hear that too... will probably make postage as much as my orders when I do DIY flavors

I am sure you find this upsetting but honestly, I don't find it a problem. When I lived in AK, the mail planes fly into Anchorage and then it is distributed from there. If the plane is full going to Juneau for example, then it would be on the plane the next day... just like what they are doing to you. Fed Ex and UPS did the same thing except they tended to wait until they had a plane full before making the trip it seemed as I always got things mailed USPS up there before I would get it from other carriers. Bulk mail was interesting... it was barged up but the barge only goes every 2 weeks Alaska also has an in-state rate that is pretty much bulk or book rate for packages from AK to AK addresses. I think that is why I tend to have more patience with deliveries than most. Up there, even FedEX one day was 2 days Anything that was needed elsewhere in AK fast, we used Alaska Air Gold Streak and it would get anywhere AK Air flies that day and cost less than FedEx

i echo joans sentiments.. i for one am fine if it takes an extra day to go out... whether that be due to the lab being busy from orders, or the mailman only being able to take x packages bc the lab was busy from orders. you get things out very fast..

i would hope whatever alternative is comparable in price to usps first class, but am pretty certain it wouldnt be...

We would still use USPS but are thinking of it only being Priority Mail. (Flat rate at $5.95 no matter the size)

 

[Shellie]

Oh please no. I have to drive 10 miles one way to pick up a priority mail package the day after it is delivered. I live out in the sticks, and they won't deliver directly to houses, and our mailbox center won't accept them! Just put a note on the standard shipping that once it leaves your site, you can't guarantee that it will arrive on time. Also, you could add a shipping insurance option and state that if you don't chose that option with standard shipping, if the package is lost, you can't replace it or something else to that effect so you're not constantly losing revenue having to replace lost packages. Just ideas.

So they do not deliver Priority Mail but will deliver First Class?

Flat Rate Priority at $6. The DIY flavorings are $1.50 and I generally do 5-8 at a time so $7.50-$12 for flavoring so postage for me would generally be about half to almost the same cost as the flavorings I wanted to buy. Plus the other flavoring companies I use still offer First Class shipping.

Not sure your reasoning for discontinuing the First Class shipping but even for packing my 5-8 little vials in a small flat rate box will use more packing material than is used in the Flat rate box too and that is still a cost that needs factored in.

The only vape related package that I have had any damage to has been a large bottle of pg/vg that was shipped FedEx and they banged the end of the box and broke the lid on the bottle... a real mess but they delivered it in a plastic bag anyway

Also what Shellie says.... I am lucky as my house is the first one at the bottom of the hill... my house is the only one here that the mailman delivers to and that is only if he can get up the hill. Sometimes in the winter he can't get up and we have to go to town for it too but everyone above me on this hill has to go to town for packages.

 

[Shellie]

So they do not deliver Priority Mail but will deliver First Class?

Basically, yes. We have a "mailbox center" where all the mail for the area I live in is delivered. It's unmanned, and the boxes are small, letter sized and about twice as tall. So anything that doesn't fit gets delivered directly to the post office (usps, ups, and fed ex alike) and we have to go there during business hours to get it.

 

[Walt83]

Last month in September we had 94 packages lost costing Killer Juice over $1,300...

Of that we recovered $164.95 (Insurance)

Oh shoot! Wow
