When I know darned well the things left the 'processing area' this morning? I hate waiting on vapemail LMAO Am I alone in this strange behavior? (Going into your email, grabbing the usps number from your shipping notice email(s), and checking usps throughout the day - When you know it's not coming TOday?)


....Sigh.

I have been doing the same thing since Tuesday even though I know it isn't supposed to be delivered till today. Just checked actually and I know it is currently at my local post office. Now if I could just get my mailman to deliver before 2pm! Seems kind of silly that I live only 4 blocks away from the post office but my street seems to be the last ones delivered to! My brother lives over 10 miles from it and gets his mail at 10am! How does that make sense? Unless he is getting yesterdays mail LOL

my usps just updated to "out for delivery" at 9:35 am...

Yeah. I just noticed I had a mid-morning update as well (arrived as local post office, can I just go pick it up? haha).

But I distinctly remember reading a notice that the tracking was only updated at night. Typical right hand, meet left hand government inconsistency issue. And I say that as a government employee. Haha.

They actually go to the furthest out fist (IT SUCKS!, its a 5 min walk to my post office), they explained that if a truck breaks down or someone needs help the other mailmen are closer to "home" and can properly help. I offered to pick up my mail and the response was I would have to have all my mail held and could only pick it up the day after it was supposed to be delivered.

Also, isn't USPS tracking only batch updated at night?

You're much better off standing on your porch all day. Then you'll know faster. ;)

It's updated "periodically" throughout the day, every 4-8 hours.

Nope not by a long shot. I've only been in the vaping game a little over a month and I'm on the endless cycle.
I have noticed that I'm getting into a bad habit of ordering something, right after I get something.....So the madness is on an endless loop. The infinite vapemail loop of madness.
So am I the only one doing THIS???!!!

i order to my work. it got delivered after i left today.
no provari tonight, i own 4 mods, 3 are within an arms' reach and none work.
thank god for snus or i'd be insane

I work evenings and I have to leave my apartment at 3pm every day...conveniently enough the mail man shows up and rolls into the parking lot ever day right as Im pulling out to leave but NEVER sooner. So I have to sit at work every night knowing my package is waiting for me in my mailbox till I get home at midnight.

oh that's slightly frustrating! :/ Bummer man! I get that during the day, I worry my juices are going to over-steep in my mailbox.

that worries me too...I have one of those metal outdoor mailboxes even though he doesn't deliver till late afternoon is still makes me bite my nails from time to time over it. and text the girlfriend to go out and grab the mail...but then that turns into...what did you order? how much was it? let me see the invoice....BUSTED>
