I don't know man mine always gets to me amazingly fast and I'm in Maryland. I just hate when it's Saturday and it gets stuck at the last stop before it reaches you and then sits there till Monday

Ya, that really sucks. You're expecting it but NOPE. U have to wait two more days.

I don't intend to beat a dead horse, but where is an update? It's been 3 days since anything was even mentioned by AVE. A quick, "We're working things out." will be very sufficient. I know that a lot of ppl are awaiting a single word from them about the website. I'm supposedly receiving my order tomorrow, but that doesn't make things alright, because there's everyone else who didn't even get a chance to look at the website let alone buy anything.

I got my Juice! incredible :)
Let us know once you can actually track your package and see it moving. Otherwise there have been discussions on other threads that people are getting phone calls from "Sam" at AVE that people are getting false tracking numbers because they are being sent out by mistake.

Thank you for giving a voice to at least my experience. I like Ben, and so I have been being mostly silent; however, although I got on the site on Monday, I couldn't even get registered before it shut down. I shouldn't have put juice in my cart because of the time it took. I have stayed home every morning to allow me to be refreshing the site hoping for a chance to register and maybe get some juice. I must have 100% VG and cannot vape the stuff that smells like perfume because of family members here with asthma. I have needed to order for over 6 weeks now. All I can vape is Ben's juice (if you know of other juice with No PG, even in the flavoring, that doesn't have a strong perfume-like odor, and is fruit flavored, please, please PM me.

I am not totally crazed because of a wonderful forum member, Beetle72 (Chris) from Tulsa, OK, who sent me a 30 ml bottle only used out of once, of Very Berry Blue, one of my two favorites. I can vape for another week. For the last 3 days almost every post seems to be from someone who got an order submitted (and, yes, even in your frustrated state I envy you) wanting to know how soon it will be at their door. Hearing someone remember those of us who got shut out almost took my breathe away. Someone remembers we are still here.

I do not doubt for a moment that Ben is working top speed at significant problems in his end. I can live with that. But, I could have freed up my time and met with clients around the lunch hour, when they had time available, had something been posted saying that nothing was going to happen for say 2 days or 3 days. Eastern Daylight Time is 11:00 am for 8:00 am PST.

Thank you, The Don Mega. Being remembered as part of an almost invisible group makes me feel respected.

Hey Bitey, it totally sucks that you can't get your 100% VG juice from AVE. I have only had Boba's once, and that was over 3 months ago, and I've never been able to get it since, so your frustration is understandable. I heard about another site that does 100% VG, Virginvapor. I can't personally vouch for them, or if they have anything as good as Boba's, but I have heard good things about their juices, and they are completely PG free, even their flavorings. Just thought I'd let you know in case you hadn't heard of them.

Someone mentioned ebay earlier in this thread i think. Right about now, that really doesn't sound like a bad idea.
A good temp fix until the site is up and operational(days?weeks?) and a win-win for everyone: customers get their long-awaited juices and Ave gets to unload their stock. I'm sure the missing cash flow must be be hurting somewhat.

Eg: Buy-it-now: Boba 30ml X-mg Total Available: X000

You are very welcome!!! I was thinking about it for a minute and wrote what I thought. I definitely sympathize with you and everyone else. I should feel like I'm in an exclusive club, since I'm getting my juice tomorrow, but I don't AT ALL. This isn't what vaping is about. It's about not smoking and being able to chill, relax and enjoy your favorite juice. I hope we all get an update soon so everyone is not at the brink of insanity. If I get some extra, which is really possible, I wouldn't mind throwing some your way to hold u over til u can order. I'd rather give up some juice than have someone go buy a pack of smokes. It would be a very small sacrifice to make sure that doesn't happen. Btw, this would be the only 100% VG juice I have in my arsenal. Good luck to u and everyone else. Hope this doesn't go on much longer. Ppl r geaking for their fav AVE juice.

That would require them to go the extra mile. They ain't going to do that. They are a good company but not a phenomenal one. They could've been sending juice to their resellers too like smoktech and clouds of vapor. Idk why they won't do that either.

Can't sell nicotine juice on ebay. It's against the TOS and the sellers account will be suspended. So. It's a lose-lose.

I find this fact quite puzzling. I assume the resellers take a large cut of the profits, so he would have to force them to charge higher prices to make the same margin as when he sells direct. Considering how rabid folks are over this pause in supply, I'd think an extra $5 per bottle would not reduce his sales by one single ml.

Rule of thumb: the artisan should never run the business.
