My last order was packaged and shipped within 2 hours it got to my place 1 day before the order showed up in my bank account and that was standard shipping...Never ever pay for expedited shipping.It's a rabbit hole you'll never crawl out of.

I paid for first-class parcel. I never had a problem with vapor beast. I know we are in the holiday shipping season. But this is ridiculous

Looks like your problem is with UPS. Once the vendor ships it's pretty much out of their hands. UPS Mail Innovations, simply put, sucks. Every time I've had a shipment handled by them it's had an issue. UPS seems to be incapable in making a handoff to USPS. Their other combo service UPS SurePost is just as bad it appears. Every vendor I've dealt with who used UPSMI has given up after a short period of major complaints. I know it's frustrating, I've been there, but odds are it will eventually get where it's going.

I wouldnt care if I picked that method( a little) but what pissed me off more than anything is I paid for the first class postal and they shipped it out another way without telling me. I tried to call ups and the post office but they don't know where it is
If vapor beast was straight forward and sent out an email saying they did this I would be pissed

I placed a substantial order with VBeast and if it arrives tomorrow it will be 10 days to New England. In the same time frame, I placed an order with one of the popular Chinese vendors and it took 13 days, arrived yesterday. Both were shipped with free shipping. China to NE in 13 days, CA to NE in 10 days? (and btw USPS handled the China package) VBeast uses that UPS/USPS hybrid shipping method. Screw that, and I'm not into making excuses for a vendor about holiday shipping and all that, both of these orders were subject to the same conditions.

My guess is like others they won't use it for long. LightningVapes switched to it to avoid the Oompa Loompa's at the Opa Locka USPS sort center. The USPS out of Bradenton and through there wasn't very fast. Adding UPS to the mix made USPS by itself look good. Due to a bevy of pissed off people they switched back. Monoprice out of CA, where I buy electronics stuff was my first experience with them. 12 Days to Ohio. I told them I wouldn't do business with them anymore if they continued to use them. Eventually enough people must have done the same as they dropped them eventually.

I couldn't agree with this MORE if my life depended on it. One or the other, UPS or USPS, so you know who to yell at when they fuck up -- but this handing-it-off shit is for the damn BIRDS. Even if they don't have or cause a major problem with it, it STILL makes it take an extra day or two! :headbang: But I don't think that either UPS or USPS gives a single rat's ass about their customers or what we think.

Remember that rabbit hole I mentioned earlier...It seems your package landed there.If both USPS & UPS can't find your package that can mean only 1 thing.
Package stolen & probably by a courier.

Funny, I was just bitching about UPSMI and just got bit again. Cold weather has hit my locale and I ordered some nice wool socks through Amazon. Came from England. Shipped the 25th, got them today, the 5th, a day ahead of the first day of the delivery window. Ordered a couple of insulated hoodies that shipped out of Phoenix the 27th, due on the 3rd. Turns out they used UPSMI. Got to the final UPS sort center (located right here in my hometown) on the 1st and didn't make it to the post office (3 miles down the road) until the 5th. Hopefully I'll see it tomorrow. Basically I'll refuse to do business with a vendor that uses them. Trouble is you don't really know until it's shipped.

Amazon Prime is one of the best things I've invested in this year; when they say '2 day free shipping,' they really fucking mean it -- last thing I ordered, was delivered ON A SUNDAY -- by USPS!

Basically I'm a cheap bastard and always bypass the offer because I think I won't use it enough to warrant the cost. I may have to re-think that soon.

You get a lot more than just 2 day free shipping; you get access to Prime Video, tons of movies and TV shows, some exclusive to Amazon Prime and available nowhere else -- like the series "Bosch," based on the novels of Michael Connelly. Also Prime Music, which gives you access to a HUGE amount of music of all types, without commercials -- I fucking love that, the commercials on Pandora were starting to seriously piss me off. There are other features, but those are the ones I use.

Vaporbeast doesn't always have the best prices, they do have some great sales though, but they have always been beyond reproach in my dealings with them.
The customer service is incredible, and I have always received my order the day before the "estimated delivery date" shown on the USPS tracking site.
All of this makes the few measly dollars more I have paid well worth it in my opinion.
Place your order and concentrate on stalking the postman, the only negative integer in the equation.

I am exactly the same. Then I decided to upgrade a lot of my son's backpacking equipment right before a trip to Philmont, NM. Amazon had the best prices and a 30 day free trial of Prime. I signed up and the shipping service was incredible! Everything came in time. I even had time to return and replace one item, and this was all started 2 weeks before his departure date.
If you order frequently from Amazon, Prime is a must have in my opinion. I don't, so I cancelled my free trial of it, and being the cheap bastard that I am; I simply use a couple different friends Prime accounts when I do occasionally order from Amazon.

Yeah that $100 price tag is a bit of a bitch!

I've ordered from them twice. The first time it took forever to arrive. The second time it was the day before it was supposed to be delivered. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again. Customer service was good as well.
