Whats up with Alien Visions?

Do what I'm doing. Let everyone else beat themselves up over AVE to get caught up and then order once they have their act together. Patience.

Mine shipped on Friday and I ordered on Thursday. They seem to have it together pretty darn good! But I'm stocked up for a while now. I'm waiting on my AVE order and my vaporkings order for another USB/wall adapter. I gotta put the credit card down. :blink:

Well, I've never tasted AVE so I don't know what I'm missing. But I rather enjoy watching the AVE mob tear down the doors.

Oh to be young again!

Gosh I sure hope I wouldn't waste my second youth on that! LOL

No offense to your gender Lisa, but I liken this AVE mob to those crazy women who raid the department stores on Black Friday. Why ANYONE would want to be ANYWHERE close to that is beyond my comprehension.:confused: But I do laugh when I see it. hahahaha!!!:laugh:

I read on their forum or site that they were staying open only until orders for the day reached max capacity. So, I'm assuming they are being swamped with orders and have to close early to fill those orders... I guess wake up or stay up until 2am or so. I myself am waiting for them to get settled and things calm down, I don't like Boba's or any of their juices THAT much.

What?? It currently states on their website:

Order capacity reached
Orders closed
Reopen @ 8am PST

What's so hard to understand about that?:blink:

So instead of 2am try 8am. I just gave out a random time, forgive me, I didn't know or care what time they started selling. I understand time, ........, do you understand being civil?

It's hard to believe that their juices are good enough to warrant that sort of nonsense. If you're going to run a business, you should be sure to have enough stock on hand, and clearly they do not. I won't buy from them.

I kind of like the idea my juice will be fresh, and not jostled around and steeped for three weeks during their move and temporary closure. My order was really hassle free.

They moved from Texas to California, they had a big sale and sold out of everything first so they would have less to move, when they got settled in and reopened they got crushed with orders. They're trying to play catch up right now and your statement is quite unfair.

I don't agree. Why open if you can't provide the product? It's just bad business and if they need help they should get it. I have never ordered from them, but have tasted their product. IMO my DIY is better, but that is just me and I am not a supplier, I only make it for myself.

They need to find someone to help them keep up with the demand, and that help has been offered from someone who just wants them to succeed as a small business with no strings attached. Why don't they take the free help until they get back on their feet? Beats me.

I was looking at 8AM the other day as well before I realized what was up with the time zones.

Luckily we get breaks at 8 and 10 at my work so I was still able to get in and order before they closed for the day. Even got a sample of Bee's Knees, which was so good I had to go back again today for more.

So don't feel stupid, I was just trying to let you know what was up and alleviate your frustrations.

Hopefully in a few days they will be back to regular 24/7 ordering.

Until they do they have got the last of $$$ not trying to piss anyone off just don't have time for that kind of BS I know there moving but come on man :facepalm:

They were never like this before they moved.

If they waited till they were completely stocked back up there would have been mass suicides (that's a joke... maybe).

All DIYers think their juice is better than anything anyone sells.

Because, to the individual, it is. We can tweak it all we want to find perfection without having a bunch of customers crying if we change it. A vendor cannot do this without changing the name of it.

I have to add that I do buy premixed, I can't replicate one of my favorites and have no problem buying one I love but it isn't a simple tobacco, it is a multi flavored dessert. If said vendor changed it, or announced they were moving and shutting down for a week or so (which vendors have done) I am sure I would not commit suicide.

ETA: and make no mistake about it, DIY carries the risk of epic failure and it takes time and dedication to come up with a recipe that EVERYONE agrees is marketable. This they have done with great success, and I for one would like to see that success continue to grow. I don't have to be a customer to appreciate them and what they have built and are at risk to lose with a few unhappy customers posting in a public forum.

All the people complaining should do what I do. Don't buy any. I can wait till they aren't swamped.

AVE is run by super nice people, they have a stellar reputation, and a quality line of liquids. If the current situation is bothering you that badly, vape something else. There are tons of other good juices out there. If your DIY is better to you, vape that and enjoy, but rest assured no one else really cares.

Don't bash nice people just because they made the mistake of growing too popular. We're all supposed to be adults here.
