None of that is going on here

USPS checked who I was about 3 times and now my mail lady leaves it like a normal package since she knows I order to my place.

Very interesting @SessionDrummer I hope more people respond. I have yet to purchase anything requiring a signature. I thought about it but then there are a couple of vape shops around here and while they don’t have the greatest of selections I have purchased a couple of things.
A couple of purchases from Fasttech arrived in 14 days. Not bad.
Anywho, if I see something I just gotta have I’ll grab it but things changed, and like @SessionDrummer I stocked up. Funny story; I purchased 5 packs of coils for the Caliburn G and then the damn thing took a dump before they even arrived. So, I went to the local vape shop, and luckily they had some. $36.00!!! YIKES, thankfully they were having a sale and I got it for 24 out the door.
So, I came to a tentative conclusion. The prices online including the stupid “tax” (adult sign) are about the same as a Brick and Morter.

Same here…although I’m doing inventory analysis and putting a flavor order together. Do we get socked for signatures on flavors?

After perusing the USPS site on adult signature fees for businesses I discovered that the cost for a business is around $3.50. When VaporDNA wanted to charge me $12 I was done. FU, how dare you try to make a profit on my shipping fees. They blew it because I’d really like to support US vaping business but not if they’re gonna be like…

I have had 50 packages received … vape related since enactment and not a one asked for a signature. My 14 year old was handed over several since I work during the day and he answered the door. Yeah, just another way to scam money from people (sorry I don’t feel good today so a little testy haha)

Well @authormichellehughes you bring up a VERY INTERESTING point then.
Let’s ASSUME that the Fed has FORCED vaping companies TO comply with the whole “Adult Signature” thing. Assumptions being what they are, then we have to wonder, if they ARE complying (i.e. charging us, stating it on the order), then USPS just doesn’t seem to care ?
I’m PRETTY sure, I saw someone (I think @muth) that she found out the actual CHARGE for the A.S., and VaporDNA (??) was charging even more than that ? Lots of moving parts here, but I’m starting to SENSE a trend. Perhaps, just perhaps, some retailers are increasing the charge, levied by the carriers FOR the A.S.R. which is shady, and THEN we have the carriers, who appear to be NOT enforcing it ??

Let’s just see what’s what here ladies and gentlemen.

So this appears that the cost from the shipper, TO the supplier is $6.65-$6.90.

Ordered 80 bucks worth of stuff from Eightvape, they tried to deliver it twice, and because I have a job, I am required to go there and do stuff, so I wasn’t home.
It got sent back.
A fun exercise in stupidness.
So now I just plan on what I need, and purchase what’s available from a wholesale vape distributor in town, using my nephews business account.
About the same price as good deals online.

Never have to sign for anything. Mail delivery driver dropped off bisque’s all year long. Of course I bribe her with what’s growing in the garden during the summer.

Hell yea I had to pay 9 bucks for adult signature, and sign the damn thing, that, was a order for some flavors and a squonker that has already broke. CHINA CRAP, you will never see me buy another expensive mod again. It will be the cheapest crap I can find. End of story. Poof. , in fact I am going to make my own, soon as I get thru cutting and splitting all this wood.

Last week, the mailman brought me a package from Flavor Artists and handed me his ziggy thingie for the adult signature.
Wait, what? This is just food grade flavorings.
{mailman shrugs}
I didn’t pay a signature charge.
{mailman shrugs}
{I shrug and sign for it}
Then I looked at the label and noticed that it had shipped from the sister, premade juice company, ECBlend, next door.
There went their margin on that transaction

I have yet to be asked to sign. Another interesting thing is that My Vapor Store informs their customers that they will be charged for adult signature and possibly state taxes depending on your state’s laws. When I total my order I see no charge for a signature…(Let sleeping dogs lie).

8vape wants to charge over $9. And i forget the other name but they want to charge over $8. For a signature.
I get mail here at my house and at the post office, I’ve been signed up with Informed delivery which means i get email notifications when anything is to be delivered. I also signed that they can just deliver anything to my box and use my one time signature without me being here. Still waiting to see how that works
