placed an order for RDA’s and such on 10/21. When I got an email confirmation about 20 or less minutes after, it showed the order date as 10/22. Turns out it was 10/21 my time(CST) and 10/22 their time (EST). It’s a big order for me and I’ve been sweating bullets. Today I received an email confirming that my order shipped. I’m still a bit nervous.

I received the order today . I opened the door as the USPS mail person walked up and handed me the box. It didn’t fit the mailbox.

Prior to last week the post office would just drop off my adult signature packages and not require a signature. Now, the last two packages, I’ve been forced to sign for.

I got a couple or orders from USPS that should have required adult signatures, but the mail carrier just left them in my mailbox, not even leaving something to sign. I haven’t ordered any vape related stuff in a couple of months (I’m pretty well set for a while), but will be interested what will happen with my next order(s). If I have to go pick them up somewhere to sign for them, I’ll do it. It is an inconvenience, but not a huge inconvenience.

Total opposite for me. The lady who delivers my mail drops off dog bisqkits for my dog all year though I would return the favor and gave her about 10-15 pound’s of tomato’s from the garden. She now signs for my mail.

Received my RTA this morning. Apparently the package traveled from China to CA to Orlando via DHL and then was handed over to USPS - there were no markings on the package indicating a point of origin, other than a return address in CA (most likely a DHL distribution center). It looks like perhaps the item was drop-shipped and labeled in CA before handoff to USPS after traveling to Orlando FL.
Recap: Ordered 10.16.21 Everzon - Shipped 10.18.21 (China?) - Received 11.02 FL

WOTFO does the same thing. It’s cheaper for the Chinese to forward to pick and pack warehouses. I also noticed after shipping from California they use another company to tell you it has shipped.
