Hmmm! I was just checkkng on my latest FT order & it appears to being mailed by USPS instead of the usual China mailing posts with which all my previous purchases were sent.

Is that something new?
Regardless of how it leaves China, USPS delivers it here in the US (unless you select DHL, UPS or FedEx). I select E-Packet on all my orders, not sure who gets it out of China, but USPS delivers it to me.

I select epacket too and all my orders are delivered via USPS.

They might have changed the default, but they have had a USPS option for some time. It is generally faster (once shipped! :w00t: :lol: )
I too always select epacket and all my stuff is delivered by USPS. It's the first leg of the trip when there has always been another carrier in the past but this order went directly to USPS.

I thought it went via somebody's mail until it arrived at the nearest USPS port of entry to USPS control. Which, I figured was somewhere in the Northern Marianas Islands.

Otherwise, I just assumed it was by boat to LA or if a flight is going over the Artic to Chicago or NYC.

I have often though about doing a process chart about the steps a parcel takes. Some would be best guess and some known fact.

Good morning everyone. Had fun with the kid, saw "Game Night" and it was okay. One of those self-referential movies where the actors refer to other actors "as if" they were normal people.

Requires a certain level of suspension and disbelief. And, I slept until 8 a.m., unheard of for me.

There is a cigarette laying on my front porch and the husband is supposed to be quitting. But, I haven't said anything and I don't plan to. LOL.

With a 5yo and 2yo grandchildren running around here from 8A-5P...I've never found the time to check tracking notices...

(I know when something's in my mailbox...it's arrived. :thumbs: )

However...I did see my USPS mail carrier deliver my latest FT order...

I don't think it is just this thread. Most of ECF is slowing way down.

:(
I notice that in my watched threads. There was a time where I never had much of a chance to look at New Posts because I was so busy keeping up with my watched threads, now at least once a week I make it through all 25 pages of them. :facepalm:

It does seem slow of late... Site changes? People doing stuff? I'm afraid I don't visit this thread as much as I should.... I have much to report! Like my renewed love of RTAs that are MTL since the Berserker, Siren V2, and Ares, and how I can build them.... How I have swollen my provari collection to the point that I think I can now vape in the afterlife.... How DIY is going phenomenal at 18 m.g. nic salts.... How the husband is now using my Nautilus 2s (I have moved on). How much I still ADORE tootle puffing, and I may get even stealthier because someone suggested PG400 (Mike Petro, actually) and I am NON reactive to it, unlike PG, and I just mixed up 1100 mg of the stuff, so I really hope it turns out well, but I won't find OUT since I steep for a month... .How my foggy VG caused me to buy (since I could not find) my airpurifier and now my home is not a gigantic cloud of VG anymore.

I think that about covers it, oh, and I tried to warranty 2 ego mega v2 tanks that weren't working. The place I sent them to told me they "looked used" (Duh, how else would I find out that they weren't working) so now I have to initiate my first vape related chargeback. I feel a little nuts for doing so over $20, but they were surly and unpleasant, so I probably WILL do it. They were surly the whole TIME, so it's not like I am EVER going to use that vendor again. Sigh. If there's one thing I hate, it's dealing with chargebacks. I prefer as little contact with banks and etc. as I can get away with. LOL.

I think that about sums it up.
