Next day shipping is the bomb...fastest I've had out of any vendor so far. They open in under an hour. ;)

I placed an order at Goodejuice Thursday about 1:30 pm. At 2:04 pm I got a shipping notice. It was in my local post office about 5:00 am Saturday and delivered to me that afternoon. 48 hours from placing order to holding it in my hot little hands. That was my 2nd order from them and both happened that fast. I dunno how he does it. I suspect he actually drove it here himself. ;)

That's great! But could he move halfway across the nation from Texas to California, get kids in school and settle into a home and a business, and then ship it next day? ;) AVE opens in 30 minutes...get your credit cards ready!!!!!!!! Boba's is waiting. :)

No, I rather enjoy reading all the ignorant statements. :D

Over the edge...
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?

Yes, I do understand being civil. Apparently you don't. I didn't call you the name you called me and then EDITED.:lol:

I don't understand why they can't just accept all the orders but put up a very clear notice that they cannot process and ship right away. Part of the reason for online shopping is not having to deal with the hassle of crowds and lines and to be able to shop when it's convenient for you.

They're a small business. I don't expect them to be able to bang out huge volumes of orders the way Amazon can. As long as they're clear with their customers about the delay, I don't see an added benefit to closing down ordering. I would be more inclined to put in my order knowing it might be a week or two than have to rub the sleep out of my eyes every morning and struggle to make an order until it gets through.

If anything, having a full picture of what juices are required might help them be more efficient in processing orders. If you know you have 50 people that want 30ml of Boba's in 12mg, you can mix up big batches and bottle them rather than processing the whole thing bit by bit.

I have no doubt you would be civil. However, I do doubt others. Once someone places an order, they all of a sudden hop on the email or complaint line and they start barking. Bottom line here is these are smaller operations and when they make a move as big as these folks have, there will be major interuptions. Do like me...sit back, relax, and watch all the youngsters blow a gasket because they can't get their favorite smoke juice because they didn't pre-plan when they had the chance. I find something humorous about that. Probably because it reminds me of me in my youth.

Are you struggling with your order? I ordered last week and it was easy and I'm expecting to raid the mailbox when I get home. :vapor: They have been open since 10 am Central Time and are open now. Each day I've noticed they stay open longer and longer. It was no struggle for me.

There you go Figgy...RJ is right. I just went over and they say they are open. Maybe they listened to you and now you can place an order. Unfortunately, my fun might be coming to an end.

And RJ, go easy on your mailbox. Those aren't cheap to replace. Now the mailman? That's another story.

Seeing the word "Delivered" gives me the warm and fuzzies. :laugh:

ETA: And my mailman is cute! I may assault him, but it won't be for the juices.

Eva Longoria could deliver my smoke juice naked and I'd still knock her over to grab my juice.




Well..................let me think on that one a little.

I actually have a nice big bottle of Boba's I'm still working through. I've been wanting to try some other flavors, but I was just going to wait until the dust settled. If they're caught up, then I might just trot over there and do that. There's not much that's going to get me out of bed at 8 o'clock. Not even an awesome vape.

Bummer! Maybe you can order more of a compensating nic level and blend them to what you want. In the meanwhile, you'll have to suffer with what you get until they can run you another deliver. Easy for me to say. I've always found it much easier to spend other people's money than my own.

Yea thats probably what I will end up doing...I just hope that once all the chaos dies down there customer service will be back up to par because if your going to run a business your customers need to be able to communicate if needed.
