VaprBreak order disappeared

[Vaslovik]

So 4 days after VaporBreak emailed me that it had shipped the tracking number gets me nothing, the tracking site tells me it's not found, no trace of it in Hong Kong or the US. I'm starting to think I got taken. Oh well, it was only for $16.72 including shipping, which apparently never happened. Wonder how they generated the tracking number.

Bummer in the summer...

Tried emailing them, this gets me an autoresponse referring me to PayPal. I do not have a PayPal account, and don't want one. I paid for this on my credit card and in no way involved PayPal.

Yup, I think I got taken.

keep in mind it can take up to a month and a couple of weeks for stuff to get to you from china. I order stuff all the time from china and it takes atleast a month.

They seem to have been around for quite awhile, found some old threads with generally positive reviews, so i assume/hope it will reappear for ya!

Not to rub salt in the wound, but this is one of the MAJOR benefits to using PayPal, they have quite good buyer protections, and in the odd instance your stuff never shows up, they wouldve likely immediately reimbursed you. Then they do the fighting.

Best of luck figuring out what happened!

Chill!!

VaporBreak has been around a while.. shipping is slow with them. If you got a tracking number, they shipped it and it will be another 2 to 3 days (or more) before it pops up in the system.
The China mail they most likely used takes for ever to update.

 

[Vaslovik]

Well if it shows up I'll be glad, if not it's a lesson learned, and a cheap one at that. I've learned far more expensive lessons. One hopes that the tracking number will at some point get me some results. What I find puzzling is how PayPal became involved in this. I never used them, and studiously avoided them online, and yet here they are, inserted into my purchase transaction without my consent.

I made a credit card purchase directly with the vendor online, declining to use PayPal, and yet they are involved anyway.

I really don't like that.

well here's the invoice quote:


so it would appear I did the 10 day upgrade HK post ,but 4 days into this I can't track it at all.

Even my fastest shipment from them took 15 days. My tracking numbers never worked until the package was in the US..

Ah, then I might still get that mod in my vapemail. this is good to hear. I shall be patient and wait. It is probably on a huge container ship in the mid-Pacific. One assumes that once in port it will take days to unload that container and get the goods flowing. I am comforted.

When I ordered from fasttech it took a few days for the tracking # to show anything and then it still took 20 days to get to me after that. I try to only order from China if its something I can wait for

I wouldn't worry just yet, leave it a few days then if it still hasn't appeared get Vaprbreak to chase the postage company. This is far better than it showing as delivered, if it can't be raised using the tracking number they can't show they sent it.

I also was upset about the same situation. It took mine a week and a half to show up on tracking then 7 more days to get moving but once it started moving it was in my hands in 4 days. They have all this information on vaporbreak site if you look around.. The order took 27 days to my door..

I've had orders from VaperBreak take anywhere from 15 - 45 days. Min has even shipped, by land into Russia and out from there by air. But somehow, the orders always showed up.

Okay thanks everyone

I'm just anxious about this new mech getting here because of the firing button issues I'm having with my current mech, a Sigelei 24, with it's button section sealed off so I can't get at it. It's supposed to be a magnetic button, but it sticks and misfires a lot. I'm really not pleased with it after a month, and would not recommend the Sigelei 24 to anyone. It looks nice, but does not perform long term.

If your're anxious about anything the last thing you do is order a replacement from China. There is a point to USA suppliers - being able to get something in only 3 days using basic USPS ground shipping.

Try your China Post tracking number here. For some reason my current delivery shows up here but none of the other sites I use to track USPS with.

My order was "MIA" for 6 days before popping up here but still in China so theres still a few thousand miles for it to get lost in between it and me.
