Tootle Puffers, Redux (The Sequel)

[Krisma]

A company that will accept a package for you and send it to you. You end up paying for shipping twice plus all the taxes and duties applied.

It only makes sense if the prices are very cheap, shipping international normally cost 20-30USD so if I get cheap or free shipping to my forwarder the $28AUD is good. You need to work it out.

I don't pay taxes or twice shipping because the U.S. Leg is cheap

What's a forwarder?

It's what I used to do! lol! I was an export ocean freight forwarder, however. Basically a broker (maybe a bit like the organizer of a "group buy" here on ECF). Can arrange to have numerous things shipped to numerous clients in a economical way (sometimes in a single container) that can bypass some roadblocks that might otherwise be in the way. Some specialize in imports...some in exports.

I thought those were something else. 4 pre-punched holes?

Found this on Sweet Vapes. Says that they compare them to Nautlis coils in a cartomizer?

This is just my opinion......they are being discontinued everywhere so if you want to try them....give them a shot but remember if you like them, they will be hard to find and they will not be making anymore.

By fillerless I meant the poly material that normally fills a carto. They still have wicking

 

[juskiddin]

They give you a U.S. Address to use, then when they receive your package, you fill out your customs declaration and they charge you to send it on. In my case it costs $27 AUD for the service. I use Shopmate (Aus) but there are companies like shipittome that offer the same service. Most U.S. Vendors are free to stateside so it's a way to get product from those that won't ship international.

Thanks muchly.

Cheers to one and all Tootle Puffers. I hope the New Year brings everyone much joy, health, balance and the courage to dream.

I'm so happy I stumbled upon this group a few months ago. I've learned a lot and appreciate all of you. Such a fun bunch!

My New Year's resolution is to look into DIY. Between most of the liquid recs coming at me these days being for vendors that cater to sub-ohmers, and the fact that 3 of my 4 "closest I'm going to get to an ADV" flavors have been discontinued, I might as well start making my own.

You have different importation rules. From what I know you can bring in several hundred dollars worth of stuff without paying any gst. Up here the limit is $20 after that point it is subject to taxes and duty. Plus a handling fee. Use one of those overpriced courier company and they add there $30+ brokerage fee on top of that.

I hear my pyro neighbors already up to fiery hijinks outside. My cat is not amused. She's been huddling near me for hours already; right next to my legs in my footwell when it first started, though now she's lying in her usual spot beside my desk. I think the tappety-tap typing reassures her somehow.
