    Just placed a FT order and they would not take PayPal. Had to do the gift card thing. Same order I made a week ago - same rda and drip tips, but in a different color.

    I found out if you cant get the PayPal option on checkout, logout then log back in. Your items will still be in your cart and the PayPal option is available.

    You got one of them 1/2 mile driveways?

    Worse. My mailbox isn't even on my street. I have to cut through my neighbor's yard then cross a busy street to check the mail. Often it's just junk mail, so unless I'm expecting something, I don't check it but every few days.

    Seriously?

    And here I gave up on FT....

    I also found that on my phone(android) if I switch from mobile to desktop mode in my web browser during check out, that it allows me to pay using PayPal instead of having to buy gift cards. Freaking bizarre I tells ya!

    I've gotten a couple of orders from Health Cabin with the AQ prefix and they never show up on USPS tracking, even after being delivered. I kept track of them on Package Radar.

    All of my AQ shipments get sent to an unknown address in the US. Tracking shows where it entered the US and then stops. That unknown address in the US then reships it out using USPS with a USPS tracking number unknown to you. Once you get it, you can track where it came from.

    So I couldn't find Max VG juice locally, (I get hives from PG) someone here said Velvet Cloud was open (thanks). I placed an order on June 30th. They printed a label last Friday on the 9th, but it still hasn't been picked up by the Post Office. I've sent 2 emails to find out why, no answer. Any ideas? Patience is not my strong suit.

    Also, I placed an order at Direct Vapor for coils, and paid for the signature, mailman left the package without one. What a waste of money. Sigh. I just want to stay off cigarettes.

    B2B isn't banned. :|

    B2B may not be banned for USPS when and if the ban actually goes into effect, but the private carrier "bans" are for all shipments, even B2B. USPS is more expensive when it comes to the larger and heavier packages so it's a big deal to retailers.

    Idk really. My local guy gets his stuff delivered from a wholesaler in Jacksonville and didn't see any problems.

    If the carrier doesn't know what's in the package and doesn't know that the sender is a vape seller, (because maybe they sell non vape products as well, like a head shop wholesaler "Joes Awesome Wholesale, Inc." as opposed to "VAPE BROTHERS, INC" ) then a private carrier would never know what they're transporting. That's the "loophole".

    People in the vape business never were that bright when it comes to optics and legalities.
