So, last week I was having some problems out of my trusty Segelei Fuchai. Poor thing has been knocked around for almost 2 years and was still going strong! But, the end is near, so I went ahead and ordered a Pico Dual last Saturday the 23rd from vaporbeast. Well, after the tracking link not working, I emailed the store and they got me a working link, which was actually UPS, NOT USPS as the link on my order page goes to(which is why it wasn't working). Great. Until I saw the delivery date. The following Saturday, the 30th, a full week later. Ok, not real happy with that, but I'll have to take it. Now, mind you it was sent out on Monday, the 25th, so honestly expected it by the 28th at most. So, this morning I see that it hit my town and UPS station. So, I called them to see if it might come today, so I could make sure someone was home to get it. Well, well, guess what? Its that stupid UPS to USPS shipping and thats the date it gets to USPS!!! It will be NEXT week before I get it!!!! Over 10 days! I might not be as upset if I hadnt broke my lil back up Qbox last night! And I guess I've got a bit spoiled with Eightvape, MyVaporStore, ecig.com, 101Vape,etc that I ALWAYS get it 2-3 business days through straight USPS. So, here I am, trying to vape with a half broke mod. Never again. I will always make sure they do not use this circus of a shipping method! I could have ordered from China and got it only a few days later. I order from US sellers when I want it fast, you know?

If you included batteries with your purchase, and you chose "best way" shipping, it comes via ground the whole way. USPS has no problem shipping Li ion batteries via their airborne fleet. Because of that unfortunate plane crash in Birmingham, AL caused by runaway Li ion batteries some years ago, UPS won't.

So the "best way" from California to Kentucky is a 4-7 business day road trip on a UPS truck, with stops along the way at their regional centers. Then it gets delivered to your post office. Then it gets on your postman's truck for delivery.

I ordered the same kit from the same store, with batteries, and got it in the same time frame as you did.

By comparison, I can order stuff from Mt. Baker on a Friday at noon Central and have gotten my order the next Monday. That's happened more than once...

I've always hated that surepost crap,it always seems to take forever.The only one i've seen worse is if you pick Express shipping from 3f.They use a company called S.F. Express which is a joke,took them over a month to get it from China to the U.S.,then when it left customs Dhl picked it up from there,and then they took it to USPS.A 2 month "Express" delivery haha.

It just took USPS 2 weeks to move a tiny package of screws from Chicago to Phoenix, and that's after it cleared customs. I didn't find that acceptable. And they lost 60ml of nicotine that was just coming from a few zip codes away last week. Thankfully Liquid Nicotine Wholesalers replaced my lost package and USPS managed to actually get it to me the second time. Still no word on the lost package.
