Sorry this is happening to you. I am just up I-5 from you in Bellingham and my order from 9\7 was delivered today, all my orders to date have taken a max. of 2 days to arrive here (knock wood, hope I don't jinx myself lol). USPS is on their OWN time schedule.

At least yours got scanned. I ordered last Friday as well, and my tracking number still only says 'Electronic Shipping Info Received'.

My mother-in-law ordered and hour after I did. She lives 5 minutes from me. She got her order today

They are horrible with scanning items. Then again, if they actually scanned them, we might realize just how many packages end up going half way across the country in the WRONG direction before they are sent the right way -_-

I'm in the same boat LMPLoyd. Ordered on Friday, received confirmation from V4L on Tuesday - no package today. Even worse, the USPS tracking for my order doesn't even acknowledge them picking the order up. I'm down to my last 4 carts - if I don't get the order tomorrow... I'm gonna have to break down and go buy a pack.

I'm sorry you guys are having a hard time. I hope I don't jinx myself by saying this, but USPS has always worked well for me, both sending and receiving. I guess it just makes a difference how your local operation is run (including the one from the sender.)

I got my order today, which I put in Sunday afternoon. I have noticed that sometimes it takes the USPS delivery tracking system a while to update, but no matter how messed up their tracking system is, they always have delivered accurately and in the least amount of time I could expect. I think we are just fortunate to have a really good operation out at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport. They are open 24 hours (I've had to make some 11:30 pm runs out there to get stuff post marked), and I was always impressed by how on the ball folks were.

I feel bad for those who hate the USPS so much, because I love my USPS almost as much as V4L, since USPS brings me my vaping stuff.

I ordered Aug 30th, on sept 3 the package was at a post office about 20 mins from my house. then they decided it was missent and sent the package all the way back to ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL 60007 where it has been sitting till today. Now today it was updated to delivered to my house at 11:16am. I left for work at 1:30pm and still nothing. Hope its there when I get home!!!!! So far my package has been in transit for 10 days.

Grab the pitchforks and torches! We gonna have us a good ol' fashioned lynching!

Can't get on the bandwagon here. Delivery to Calif has been two days nearly every time since January. USPS's rocking on the coast.

You guys need to have some backup supplies.At least a 30ml to tide you over for a few days.

 

[leeshor]

It all depends on where you are, exactly where you are. I get a newspaper mailed to me, taken to a distribution center, from a small town 90 miles away. They mail the paper on Tuesday and I frequently don't get it until Monday the following week. They send one out on Tuesdays and Fridays, (only published 2 days a week) and sometimes I get 2 in one day. USPS is totally messed up but worse in some areas than others.

LOL keyzygirl - This was my back up supply! I've only been at this a week and was testing a few flavors. I had read that a cart would last as long as a pack of smokes, but I've been burning through 3 or 4 cartos a day! The order I have coming has a few 30ml bottles and another 20 or 25 cartos! My first 2 orders arrived in 2 days, now this one is who knows where? Actually, I am pretty confident I'll get it tomorrow - at least I hope so.

Just in case I also ordered another 60ml from a different vendor. I'm stocking up - the FDA is scaring me.

 

[topdown67]

I received my order today as expected (hoped). The V4L shipping is great -it's the USPS tracking info that is lacking.

So now I have 2 new batts, a passthru and 6 more flavors to try. I gave one to the wife and have 3 different flavors going right now. I'm loving the passthru, the WOWboy and the WOW Espresso!

I've only been at this 10 days and have spent over $200 - so much for saving money . Please stop with the specials and the reviews - I'm going broke! Loving it, breathing better, stopped coughing, but it's killing my wallet!!

 

[bigkev890]

haha im on day 11 and likE you about $200 in. Although my package is showing delivered like I stated before, I still have not received it. But V4L to the rescue... even though my mix up like yours is error on USPS, I just got a shipping confirmation from V4L today that they reshipped my order. Now that is awesome customer service. V4L ROCKS!!!!

 

[LMPLoyd]

I got my order today. A new passthrough, WowBoy, Wow Coffee, WoW White chocolate, WoW Fruit Punch and WoW Chocolate. All the flavors are great, the WoW Coffee is fantastic, they really nailed that one. I was vapeing 11mg and I dropped down to 8mg because I started having irregular Heart Beats that were most likely caused by to much stimulants. I like my coffee tea and soda and I vape almost non stop when I am at home with a passthrough. The drop in MG actually makes the flavor allot more enjoyable for me. So I think it was the right move. When I started vaping 11mg was the right dose but now 8mg seems the right one.
I hope everyone else gets their orders soon. Bigkev890, V4L has great customer service, this passsthrough I got is actually my second replacement, the first one died in 2 weeks the second in a few days. I also got WoW chocolate this order and I ordered wow Coffee cartos not chocolate, I contacted customer service and have not heard from the yet but I am sure they will send me out my coffee cartos.
I have several friends that vape and use other companies for their supplies. They always complain about shipping and flavor and vapor production. I am allways telling them to switch to V4L. Hopefully they will some day lol.

Someone in CO is vaping my juice or I won't get this one until Mon., if ever.

I made my first ever order from V4L last week and unfortunately I'm stuck in the postal black hole too. I've had the electronically notified message since the 8th.

V4L = good (they shipped on time)
The post office = bad! (they have no sense of urgency)
4 days to go from Northbrook to Elk Grove? It's only 18 miles - yeesh!

I have always had my orders arrive in 4-5 days before this one. It's only for blank carts and I've never ordered blanks, so I am trying 1 pack of Wow and 1 pack of Coolcarts.

I asked my driver about this. Delivery Confirmation is not a tracking number. Technically, the only time anyone in the USPS system is required to scan your DC # is when it's delivered.

A good way to estimate delivery time is to go to USPS website, click Calulate Postage on the top red bar, choose appropriate location (Domestic for most of us), Fill in the blanks V4L zipcode is 60091 and Select Package at 1-2lbs (doesn't really matter).

For me in Ohio, Priority is 2 days, Parcel Post takes 5 days. So I know it will take 3-6 days to get my package once I get my confirmation email.

 

[WOW]

hehe....mine still hasn't moved. It's been leaving CO for 5 days.

If it's not in my location by 9 am, it doesn't get here on the same or next day. It's probably rolling down a ski slope somewhere being chased by an off-duty husky with a battery and a deck of cards.
