I count Thursday as a ship day since it actually left the vendor and is in the USPS's hands. Thursday, Friday, Sat is 3 days and typicall day that I usually get my items if ordered by Thrusday prior to 2pm. Today would put me at 5 days (well 4 really since Sunday is excluded). In other words, my package didn't arrive in the 3 days that I paid for it to.

I'm being a little .... about it but hey, my expecation was not met or exceeded going by my past experiences. JS!
the day it is dropped off to the PO is not counted as a shipping day. the correct wording should be days in transit. i have several friends that work for the USPS and 2 are post masters.

Gotcha. Either way, something freaky has transpired over the past few days. Today I received goods that were ordered on Friday. Thursday's order still didn't come even though usps.com states it was sorted through and should have been out for delivery today.

Very well, luckily today's shipment contained a 15ml bottle of juice and new eGo batt so I'm at least able to vape. I've really got to stop cutting it so close. Lesson learned. I'm now eargerly awaiting tomorrow's (hopefully) delivery.

Yes... this has always been the plan once I found what I've really liked (juice wise). That being said, I'll start bumping the volume up as I ususally stick with 10ml-30ml bottles of juice.

What usually happens is I'll order 3 to 4 bottles and the ones that I like will go first. The last one left is usally a flavor that I didn't particularly care for and it holds me over until the next shipment arrives. Long story short, I'd been vaping a horrible waffle 11mg juice from a vendor that I don't usually order from. It ran out today but thankfully one of my new liquids was waiting in the mailbox when I got home from work. 18mg waffle with some vg. Tomorrow, I'll get my ry4, coffee, and dijarum vanilla.

This weekend is the first time I've ever had trouble with a package also. The tracking shows it left the sender in PA on the 18th. Processed through and left Dallas on Friday night (the 20th). So normally it would get to Waco and be delivered Saturday. No package Saturday (the 21st), but I figure it's the weekend and they might be lazy. I checked the tracking again today (the 23rd) and still no update after the package left Dallas. After reading this thread earlier, I was hoping the website was just not updating. However, the package didn't arrive today either, so no clue what's going on now.

So it wasn't just me? I just know that in the past 4 mouths of my vaping career that any and everything that I've ordered on Thursday before 2pm has gotten to me by Saturday. I had no idea of the price increases that were going on but it seem like something was happening with deliveries as well.

As an update, my package finally tracked as arriving in town, only took 3 days to travel the last hundred miles. My guess is that with the new rates there was tons of extra work that had to be done and along with the fact that they've been down sizing staff, that packages just took longer this weekend. I'm sure everything will be back to normal soon enough.

Ordered from Awesome Vapor late Saturday evening. This morning I checked at the AV website by logging into my account and clicking on the tracking number. It took me to USPS, showed me the step by step location updates, and said "out for delivery". It was in my mailbox today.

Of course, I'm only 100 or so miles away from AV. If I order early in the day, they process it and ship it. I get it the next day. Still, on my end, USPS tracking is working today.

Same here. I realized I was low on juice over the weekend so I ordered some PG, VG, and flavoring from ecigexpress in Washington state on Monday morning. USPS had it tracked from acceptance to "Out For Delivery" in my town today. That's about a pound of liquid in an irregularly-shaped package going from Washington state to Massachusetts in 2 days for less than $4. I love the USPS.
