@ ~40 top heavy, she'll always be face first in the water 
Just a heads up....if you order something and it ends up at the USPS facility in CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA, think of it just like if you order from China and it's sitting in Customs for a few days...that place seems like a black hole for vapemail...I've had a few go through there...the package disappears, it doesn't get updated for days as it sits around for no good reason, and then it finally appears and moves...
Dude, I know that evil place. I live near Denver, CO. and ordered something from Las Vegas once. They drove the shit to City Of Industry, I.E. L.A., it sat for days and then came my way. Why they drove the wrong direction, who knows?
I've currently gotten all my vape mail, so not OCD tracking for me atm.
I've had a few orders go through there...I cringe every time tracking shows it arriving there...they are certainly very consistent about holding onto stuff for several days....lol
Yup. I ordered from the Vegas seller thinking it would be fast delivery, it's a 12 hour drive going the speed limit. I guess a detour to CA was the thing to do, though. Lol.
I was supposed to receive my order of flavors today. I even saw the mail guy driving by. He didn't even bother to stop at my mail box, but everybody else's. Now the tracking shows:
- Expected Delivery Day: Wednesday, February 25, 2015
- Your item was undeliverable as addressed at 10:06 am on February 25, 2015 in........ It is being returned if appropriate information is available.
Thats fucked. Ive ordered twice from Yaeliq, and get the exact same scan, except for my packages are delivered. It makes no sense, i asked my mailman why it said that and he had no coherent explanation. Id call your post office if i were you, have em hold it.I was supposed to receive my order of flavors today. I even saw the mail guy driving by. He didn't even bother to stop at my mail box, but everybody else's. Now the tracking shows:
WTF!

They delivered it today.
I'm tracking another order of mine, originally shipping from Tampa, FL. The destination is close to Atlanta, GA, and those idiots shipped it all the way to LINTHICUM HEIGHTS, MD 21090, dough! I'm not surprised that USPS isn't making any money.
I ordered a Freakshow RDA in SS and in Black from a seller in Naples, Florida. My package is now in Fairbanks, Alaska at a sort center after going through Las Vegas and Federal Way, Washington. I live more or less in the middle of the USA. The 2 day express mail is now on it's 8th day of transit.
No wonder why UPS and Fed Ex are making money by delivering packages. Someone has to deliver them. Apparently not the USPS at this point in time. How is it that I get junk mail offers posted from California in a single day, yet can't get a package delivered on time and within the delivery window? I've had packages tossed onto my driveway, in the snow and slush, all the mail bitch would have to do was open my big mailbox and put the little package in, but no! Toss it in the fucking driveway!!

That's pretty crazy. Alaska? Wtf?
I'm not hip to UPS, they're too expensive, but if you're willing to spend a bit extra and can get FedEx, they're a pleasure to deal with, reliable, and reasonable rates, too. I'm surprised that no vendors seem to offer anything but USPS. I used to do FedEx and USPS for the site I ran a few years back. I'm sure some people would spend a few extra dollars to have their packages expedited and tracked properly, plus, every post office has a drop off box around me, so no extra driving. You can setup a business account easily.
The nature of vaping being that you could find yourself in need of something in a rush seems to lend itself to having expedited options, that are guaranteed.
I'm in no real rush to get the arrys, I just wish the USPS would get its shit together and actually ship to the correct sort center, after all it's getting more automated, but still if a package arrives in Las Vegas with an address going eastwards, why would they send it to the pacific northwest? Make no sense whatsoever.

OR: A few thousand midicloreans short of being a full-Jedi...
Eh, I had one package that was supposed to be delivered to me, went past me 45 mins and sat at the terminal for 3 days (Fri, Sat, Sun) I called and said I'll come pick it up. They said ok. I drive 45-60 minutes to get there, and the person says they can't release it to me because she has to watch the front of the store and no one else was there. OMG was I ticked. I am like 20 FEET from my Ejuice, and I can't get it. Nasty cigs for 3 days. From then on I learned to order extra juice.
Got a vapobeast order coming in, shipped today supposed to be here Mon. I've had pretty good luck ordering from Cali with them & other places getting here at a decent time, we shall see. Florida to Alaska and u live somewhere near the middle? Holy hell, that's basically an international journey as it would probably have to go through Canada somewhere to get there and back. That's ridiculous, lets see if anybody's order goes through Hawaii enroute to Ohio from Texas. If they have their directions screwed up that bad maybe we need to buy them a ducking atlas and a compass for Christmas.
And I thought GPS was bad if it put me on the wrong side of the street. Shows our tax dollars at work right there. Good grief.

Kinda like 'OHSHA', working fer the people on the line, in the tree, ditch, office...JUST AIN'T SO...the employer gets 'forewarning', of any pending inspection, the reporting employee gets named, usually gets STREETED.
Package tracking said it's out for delivery 2-Day Priority Mail. This MF did it again, and again my flavors, sent from the same location. He even stopped to drop some junk mail in my mail box.
So the post office is really starting to irritate me right now. Got some vape mail stuck in Cali for like a week, supposed to have been priority and arrive here on Monday, still hasn't left California (vaporbeast) my other stuff is fast tech not in stock yet Lol, I expect them to be slow, not an issue for me. Vspobeast sent the order day I ordered it, no issues there. However, our lovely mailman has decided to leave it in California with an arrival date of yesterday lol. So yea, not blaming the vendors but these delays are ridiculous.

I'm in MA. I placed an order from FL. We've had Christmas cards get from MA to FL in 24 hours. They sent my package to CALIFORNIA where it sat for over a week!!!!! I was ready to go "postal"! It took 2 weeks for a 2-3 day promise!!
