Outside of (believe it or not) hospitals, the postal service is one of the biggest money sinkholes in business, and has been running in the red for the past 6 years. They will get your mail there, though. Best advice--put in another order right now, and never let your supplies get low if you can help it. I make sure that I never get lower then 2 35ml bottles of my favorite e-liquids.

FYI the are you tryin me fella thing was meant to be funny not disrespectful, different kind of humor I guess. Denali if I rubbed you the wrong way I apologize.

t40forty,,nope not at all..

although somebody else's comment was a little ignorant,,NO i am not a mailman nor have any relatives that are !!

if you think you got it bad with usps there ?? try being in Alaska,,,ups and fed-ex ground service is still more expensive then usps priority and the package usually takes up to 2 weeks to get here

that is why these usps rant threads annoy me ,,you got no idea how good you really have it till you live in a non conus place

No, no they won't.

While I have only had delays with my vaping supplies thus far, I have had problems with other packages not showing up at all.
One example(actually this has been the same experience several times):Waiting, waiting, waiting, check the website for tracking on the days surrounding expected delivery, never updated. Kept checking daily, a week after expected delivery the site finally says delivered, but it says delivered in the senders town! Called, they said they tried to deliver on saturday, but no one was there. I was sitting in my living room all day that day, no more than 10 feet from the door, no one ever knocked or rang the bell, or opened the screen door or the mailbox, you can hear all of those things while in my living room. We had no mail in the mailbox at all that day, no delivery notice, no junk mail, no bills, no packages, nothing. They also say on their website that they will try to deliver 3 times before sending something back, they didn't even try once!

This happens with packages for my employer all the time as well. For the last 10 orders for my employer, 4 got delivered, 6 got returned to sender for no one being at the office on the Saturday that they supposedly tried to deliver on. Again only one delivery attempt, no notice saying they tried and you have 3 days to come get it, nothing. And most of those the deliveries were expected to show up on Wednesday or Thursday but never did. I try to avoid the USPS if I have other shipping options.

So again I say no, the USPS will not get your mail there. Sure your bills may usually show up, but if you have packages I'd say that it's about 50/50 chance of you actually getting it, and an even worse chance than that on getting it when they say you will.

I am not a fan of the USPS!

that sounds a lot like an isolated post office issue,ie lazy employees,log on to their main website and let you issues be known !!

Thanks, zoi. That must be why FC is not offered on a lot of vendor sites.....Most of my packages are DTs, or tanks, or cartos......I don't order PVs or juice, well except for nic liquid........

Yeah, if it is more than 13 oz, about the only way it can go is Priority or Parcel Post.

And if you guys get all Bent over Priority Mail, I would Hate to see the posts about Parcel Post.

If you have Walgreens by you (I haven't spent any noticeable amount of time in Northern CO) then you could pick up one of the Blu disposables. For about $7 it's a decent stand in for when you find yourself without your own equipment. I had to go that route a few weeks back when I forgot to bring my charged battery with me. The only one they had was the menthol which I surprisingly enjoyed considering I absolutely despised menthol analogs.
