Yesterday's order "out for delivery" with USPS

[devil495]

Placed an order yesterday at 1:30 pm to be delivered by regular mail and Post Office advises it is "out for delivery" today. Halo shipping is excellent! Even during the holidays it never took longer than 2 days to receive an order, though the Post Office often didn't post the tracking until the package arrived.

Needed some juice (Tribeca & Prime 15), an extra tank tip (my dog chewed one up so be careful and keep them out of reach of pets), 2 tanks and some coils.

I really don't know how long the Triton tank coils last and have had my original tanks since the beginning of January so I figured now is probably the right time for extra coils. The only time I ever rinse them out is when changing flavors or two weeks, whichever comes first. Same with my mini tanks (I also have a G6 and use the mini tanks with the Triton as well for a change of pace once in a while).

I see posts saying to use vodka, distilled water, dental tablets, etc., but all I ever do is rinse them out with warm tap water, let them dry overnight, then the next day do a dry burn (short bursts of maybe 3 seconds) until I see the coil glow bright red and that's it. So far so good.

Of course, since I am in NJ (about 30 miles from Halo) you might have to add a day for other states, but my son, who lives in NYC (Manhattan to be exact) tells me he also receives deliveries from Halo the next day in most cases.

now you just have to deal with Kearny. the black hole of the USPS.

LOL, and Kearny is also appropriately located in the swamps of the Meadowlands or, as we used to refer to the area as we referred to it when I was a kid, the "pig farms".

Yeah, you're definitely luck to live close. It always takes at least 5 days to get my Halo stuff here in Indiana. And we're not all that far really, it only takes us 10 hours to drive to Jersey when we visit friends. What I don't understand is how my juice vendor who is out on the west coast gets their stuff here in 2-3 days tops when it takes Halo so long. I know its not Halo's fault, they ship it promptly, but man the difference in the east/west coast mail speeds is crazy.

As a former resident of Omaha I've had the pleasure of driving through Kearny too many times to admit. Trust me its more than a USPS black hole, we had some pretty creative names for the place, I think most would agree that a black hole is a pretty accurate analogy!

I get 2-day delivery to the sticks in upstate NY from Halo. Halo is always on the ball ship-wise with USPS. For UPS ships, esp coming from the West, is a new movie altogether, it drives by Albany, drives by my house, goes to Mass somewhere to be sorted at some fancy pants facility, then drives by my house again to go to back to Albany for more sorting, then it comes to my house. I just wave at UPS trucks ....

I usually get my stuff in 4-5 days flat. I guess my stuff doesn't sink in the Kearney black hole.

well look who thinks they're all better than us with their mail not getting stuck and car with 4 tires and over a month of not worrying about getting dumped.


sheesh, brag much?

I'm going to use UPS instead of the post office. I live in Virginia. It took only 1 day to get from New Jersey to the Virginia sorting facility that is only 20 minutes from my house. Then it took the post office a week to deliver it to me. I called and complained, sent a written complaint and all I got was a form letter. I thought it was lost in the mail for sure, then it finally showed up.
