An order Friday night most likely won't be filled until Saturday morning or afternoon and then it's off to the post office. Depending on how they ship, either they drop it off or USPS picks it up, both of which limits how many times a day orders go out. Being that Sunday is next, that means the order most likely won't be making too much movement until Monday and typical Priority Mail is 2-4 days (with 2-3 being the average), so that puts the order up for delivery between Wednesday and Friday.

That's pretty much typical when it comes to late night Friday orders or weekend orders. I do my best to always order on Sunday nights so it's there Monday morning and most likely will be shipped the same day :).

I know the first time I ordered from them it took a long time to get my stuff. They said they had to verify my age because it was a first time order. Make sure to check your order status on their website and if it says "verifying age" you want to send them an e-mail. Sometimes they just need a bit more info from you to verify your age. After the first order they usually ship very quickly.
Good Luck!!

Yeah I figured the Friday night order had something to do with it. Lesson learned. Looks like from the email I received that it's arrived in a processing center close to my house so maybe there's a chance I'll see it Tommorrow ..

Yeah, Friday night orders won't arrive at your doorstep by Monday!

Also, please remember that USPS doesn't offer tracking--just delivery confirmation. It's not uncommon for the system not to update regularly.

Tracking & Delivery Confirmation are both standard with Priority Mail :). First Class doesn't offer either unless you purchase one or the other or both (which is often more expensive than Priority Mail).

Yeah, you're correct--technically. But I can assure you that their "tracking" is sporadic at best and often not reliable. My last package was still in Florida--according to the tracking system--while it really was in my mailbox. I even called PetMeds to ask them why it was taking so long--then I went to the mailbox and the the package was already there. It happens all the time.

Not all packages are scanned at every sorting place; some are scanned only at the beginning and at the very last stop of their journey--often after they have been delivered.

My first order from mv was a pair of batteries. I called and asked why my age needed to be verified for batteries that can be used in many different devices. The answer was, they do it for all of their products but might remove it for the batteries in the future. Friendly and helpful staff. They got me verified over the phone and I received my package in about 5 business days. Last 1 got here in 3, both with usps first class.

Madvapes generally does a good job with order fulfillment. If I order on Saturday it usually doesn't get picked up until Monday or Tuesday and then it's up to USPS. I don't remember a Friday order, but most vendors advise that processing takes up to 48 hours before pickup occurs. Madvapes usually takes about 4 days from order to receipt. I live in Ga and they are in Charlotte, NC. Once tracking says it's in Atlanta, I generally get it the next day, sometimes the same day since the truck from Atlanta runs about midnight and gets it to Macon before the route people finish loading trucks.

I remember when everything use to say "ällow 4-6 weeks for delivery". It 30-40 minutes to cook a pizza, not counting pre-heat time. We had to get out oil, a pan and popcorn kernals to watch a movie...the movie had commercials....I smoked back then...I really don't miss the "good ól days". Except for Reagan...I miss him.

I miss the good ole days. When a man could be a man instead of some pansy wannabe woman walking around.

Men were men women were women. Not here pick your gender cards.


I still make popcorn with oil on the stove or in a basket in the fireplace.

I spend 8 hours grilling my ribs in the summer.

I have a small garden with fresh vegetables.

I have to threaten my kids to take those danged plugs out of the ears.

I miss the good ole days.. rolled up pack of smokes in the t-shirt and a cig behind the ear.

They are supposed to be fixing that with the "additional" scans, but it doesn't look like that's the case with all hubs just yet. Here in TN and along the east coast, I've not had any issues, but I've not had any orders out of Florida in a little over a year, so that's one zone I can't comment on.

The part I don't miss is the one where you had to "send away" for something and it took 6 to 8 weeks for a box to arrive on your doorstep! I really like digital cameras and the photo printer upstairs. And the microwave, and the cruise control, and the flat screen TV ... ad nauseum.

But I really hate those 18" woofers and thousand watt amps kids have in their cars (If I was 18 I'd have one, though).

Got it at 1pm today ;)

I made an order at Heather's Heavenly Vapes on Saturday (They're in Georgia as well). Got it today. How's that for lightning shipping? :p
I'm all the way up by the Great Lakes, wasn't expecting the package until Wednesday or Thursday. I heard they were fast shippers but wow haha.

Agree with everyone else though, MadVapes is pretty dang good on shipping too. I've ordered from them 4x and each time it took exactly 4 days.
