US Vape Mail Ban - USPS/FedEx/UPS/DHL

[UncLeJunkLe]

Could be ANYTHING? What was in it?

My guess: Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes win notification.

I marked my order to be shipped as "discreet"

great idea!!!

Just out of curiosity, do you think that all the spend $x and get free shipping deals include the signature required fee? Technically that's shipping, right?

It should, but you'll know when you go through checkout for sure. If you see free shipping but you have a $5-7 charge on top of that, then you know you are paying extra for the signature service.

Departed Shipping Partner Facility, USPS Awaiting Item
COMPTON, CA 90220
Shipping Partner: DHL ECOMMERCE
Your item departed a shipping partner facility at 12:56 am on April 12, 2021 in COMPTON, CA 90220. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date.

If it's passed through DHL can USPS still kick it back when they get it or am I safe?

I received my final two fasttech packages last week.
Both came the same as you = through DHL Compton, CA.

Chinese vendors are getting creative. I'm not sure if it's wise to openly discuss and reveal their new and improved ways of getting our vapes to us. All kinds of people read this forum, and not all of them are our allies.

Just a thought.

Carry on.

Fingers crossed for you! Both of my FT packages (ordered in February) are still showing no movement from China since March 11th, 13th. I did open tickets with FT and so far FT is still taking the wait and see approach.

Have faith. My last order, shipped on March 6th, just arrived two days ago. I had very little hope left, frankly, but it's here.

I got my last EV order in the other day. It was signature required and I found it hilarious that the tracking stated that I personally signed for it when it was left in my apartment’s locker system. Part of me is thinking about complaining simply for the fact I paid extra for the signature requirement.

Sure, if you like the inconvenience. Otherwise, maybe your mail carrier deserves a thank you note. JMHO.

If it came USPS that is nothing new for them. They did that with a fair percentage of the many signature required packages I got in a street locker at my condo from 2002, and again at my ranch house right up until I no longer would do business with companies that shipped via USPS. The other snafu was UPS giving packages originally shipped by them to the USPS to deliver to me as well whether they were signature required or not. Ever since those USPS days I have specified a specific carrier or I won't buy from a company that won't ship "my way". With some companies it means extra shipping costs, but I have always considered shipping costs as just cheap pocket change necessary to get what I wanted.

PACT Act/vape aside, since covid, all carriers are hit and miss as to whether they will bother to get a signature or not.

My "Metal Tube" is somewhere between FT and the US.

Or Flashlight gear. Lol

 

[UncLeJunkLe]

I have a question for anyone who has received a signature required package in the past week or so.
I wasn't home and the mail carrier left a yellow 'certified letter' slip in the mailbox for re-delivery or pickup at the Post Office. Could this be vape mail, or is it maybe something I should worry about?

So what happened? Did the ATF send you a certified letter?

 

[Alexander Mundy]

Or Flashlight gear. Lol

This particular one is "Metal Tube".
Hasn't made it to USPS yet so fingers crossed.

 

[Territoo]

My Dovpo Topside dual was also shipped as a Metal Tube. I guess metal tube is the new "filters".

 

[UncLeJunkLe]

They had to give up "filters" due to restrictions on importing/exporting masks and other types of PPE. "Fiters" were getting rejected by Chinese outbound customs for possible illegal export of PPE. That's what I heard.

So this is the week we say goodbye to USPS, a good chance it will shake things up again... At this stage it looks like anyone doing less than 500 orders per day is going to struggle to get a carrier.
