I bought a box mod without battery and got the following message;
Netherlands(PostNL International Mail)

Latest Event – 2016-08-03 07:57 Arrived at PostNL – Item not allowed (X-ray) and rejected
Phoned them up and PostNL says I have to contact customs and customs tell me to contact PostNL.
Phoned PostNL again and they tell me I’ll have to wait because they haven’t processed it yet so there’s no Dutch tracking number yet blah blah. They can’t see why it has been rejected, it could be held up at customs for another 30 days for further investigation etc, etc.
This is just a box, no battery included, no fire hazard, no other dangerous material, nothing!!
Needless to say I’m royally pissed off
sounds to me like a case of 'Presumption is the mother of all &$ ups’
They saw it was a mod and presumed it had a battery, but even then…that’s still harsh.
someones being a jobsworth
They must be able to see with X-ray that it doesn’t, right? I feel like a 3 year old being told I can’t have a cookie before dinner because it will spoil my appetite. So now I’m going to have a tantrum like a 3 year old cause they’ve spoiled my good mood.
Bought this as a present to myself for my upcoming birthday on saturday. No way they say
Sorry to hear this but don’t think it is down to them thinking it’s batteries as PostNL do deliver them I had some delivered on Wednesday that used PostNL.
I hope it was just a mistake and it will continue on it’s journey and arrive in time for your birthday
Wow. I’m so sorry, that sucks! If it’s not banned and doesn’t have batteries I can’t imagine why it would be an issue. That’s so stupid. Someone probably hates vaping and believes the propaganda about it so they decided to be a jerk. on them!
I’m rather worried now though, I’ve ordered two Billow v2’s, I still like that tank and it was on sale for only $9.99, but tanks larger than 2ml are prohibited in the EU. If they detect them they’re gone
Wow @Josephine_van_Rijn, I am so sorry this has happened to you…I couldn’t possibly like your posts so …this really sucks…I hope it all gets sorted out soon for your sake…Happy early Birthday anyways
Sorry to hear it, actually, as our experience, all customs are very strict for the vape/battery shipment, do they have any declare name in the parcel? well, try to communicate with the buyer, hope they could be helpful for you.
Yes, I know, but it is only the box mod without a battery. I don’t know about the declare name because I haven’t gotten a straight answer out of anybody yet. I’ll wait a bit to see what happens and when I know for sure that I won’t get it I will contact the vendor.
on them!
hopefully it gets worked out for you quickly!!
