PACT ACT Announcement.
Here at eJuice Deals, we are doing everything we can to ensure compliance with the PACT Act's rules and regulations. It may be a bit of a bumpy road, but we're in this for the long haul! However, that means it's time for an update about some new changes to how your purchases are taxed, shipped, and delivered.
When you reach Checkout, you may see some additional state or local taxes that you've never had to pay before.
After March 25, 2021, taxes in many areas are scheduled to increase- some marginally and some by a drastic amount. If you're concerned about how this tax increase may potentially affect you, be sure to visit your local municipality or state government's website for more specific information.
As of March 26, 2021, all shipments of online vape product purchases are considered USPS Priority [PACT Compliant] Shipping and will require an adult signature to complete delivery. Yes, this does mean you, or someone aged 21+ with a valid state or government ID that reflects the shipping address, must be present and sign for your delivery—additionally, every order placed at eJuice.Deals will now carry an
additional $7 handling fee that will also reflect your shipping costs at checkout.
Here are a few suggestions if you are unable to meet the new delivery requirements:
1.
Request a Pick Up - USPS offers an option to schedule a time and location to pick up your package from a USPS authorized facility. To learn more information about exercising this option, visit the USPS website.
2.
Open a P.O. Box - P.O. boxes are available for rent at most USPS locations and are an effective means of ensuring you successfully secure your delivery. If you're interested in opening a P.O. Box, be sure to visit the USPS website for more information.
3.
Delivery Reattempt - If you miss a scheduled delivery but are typically available to sign for your package, your mail carrier will leave a slip on your door with more information on how to schedule a re-delivery attempt or arrange to pick up your package at a nearby USPS authorized location.
eJuice.Deals started with a mission to provide our customers with high-quality e-juice at affordable prices, and we're not stopping any time soon. These measures are an important way we can be sure to continue to deliver premium service at the lowest possible cost. We'll continue to post updates as they come, but in the meantime, stock up and find your deal at eJuice.Deals.
Thank you for being a valued member of the eJuice.Deals customer community. We know you’re here with some questions, and we’re going to our best to explain the changes currently affecting the vape industry.
In December 2020, the United States Congress passed the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act, which includes the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking (“PACT”) Act. The PACT Act contains a rule which stipulates that along with all of the shipping changes, all e-cigarettes, e-Liquids, and other vapor products are now legally classified as tobacco products. These products are excluded from shipment by many major shipping carriers, including FedEx, and unfortunately, the United States Postal Service (USPS).
If you are an eJuice.Deals customer: don’t worry! We’ve known about the PACT Act and what it could mean for the vape industry for a while, and we’re prepared to work through these new regulations and rules to remain competitive in the industry and compliance with all government mandates. However, to continue to serve our customers, there will soon be some significant changes to our shipping policies.
Deliveries made after March 26th, 2021 will require an adult with a valid photo identification and signature to complete as outlined
here on the USPS website. This additional step will add a small fee onto your order. April 26th, 2021 is the day you will want to mark on your calendar. After that date, USPS will no longer ship vape products of any kind.
Also, if you live outside the continental United States, eJuice.Deals will, unfortunately, stop shipping products to your location after April 26. If you are outside the continental U.S., we highly recommend stocking up now and checking back frequently; we are already working hard to find the solution for your shipping needs, and we will let you know when we have one in place.
We will continue to provide updates both here and through our emails, as we learn more about the shipping carriers we will be working with moving forward. If you currently do not receive our newsletter, you could be missing out on valuable updates! Be sure to sign up.
Finally, we are actively working with our manufacturer partners to ensure we restock your favorite products, brands, and flavors as quickly and efficiently as possible. In light of the many changes to industry rules and regulations, some e-Liquid makers will opt to stop producing some or all of their products.
As a result, you may see some significant changes to our inventory in the coming months. Rest assured, we are doing everything possible to ensure our customers never lose the ability to purchase delicious, high-quality e-Liquid at a reasonable price. The best advice we can give right now would be to stock up now! If you’re in a rural area, you may be in danger of temporarily losing coverage, so now is the best time to stock up and save.
The eJuice.Deals team is dedicated to doing whatever we can to continue to ship to as many valued customers as possible. This process may not be seamless, and certain areas may experience temporary delays or lack of shipping coverage as we transition to new shipment models. If you have any questions or concerns about shipping to your specific location, please feel free to contact our customer service team
HERE.
We expect that circumstances regarding shipping, product availability, and more will continue to change over the coming months, and sometimes at a moment’s notice. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns as you navigate these changes in your shopping experience.
We encourage any eJuice.Deals customer who is frustrated with these regulations to reach out to your state’s congressional representatives and make your voice heard. For more information and resources on how to do so, visit:
