post office stole my vapemail

Well i never thought itd happen to me but it finally did. After the delivery date of my mail was pushed back twice it just showed up. Only problem is the side was clearly cut open and the contents removed before it got here.

Thankfully it was just vapor in a bottles juice of the week so i lost $5 but kinda sucks because im out 30mls.

Just wanted to complain because im salty.

That really sucks. What sucks more is that it probably ended up in the garbage after the teenager working the loading docks realized it wasn't electronics of some sort.

The odds that the box got caught on a sharp edge and cut open, spilling the contents, is much greater than a postal worker risking getting charged with a federal crime and up to 5 years in prison for a few bucks of eliquid. There are a lot more valuable and easily resell-able branded packages out there (like newegg) which would make a better target for mail theft than a random eliquid company's box.

That said, if you truly believe it is a clear-cut case of theft, report it.

I worked in shipping and order fulfillment for 3 years. The odds of a small box accidentally getting caught on something and gutted are extremely slim. I think it's safe to call this theft.

I feel your pain. I had one package get delivered empty. The PO did pay me the $45 back. Right now I have an order from Mitten Vapors that has not been seen in over a week. Still waiting on resolution from that one. I really wish I could choose UPS or FedEx. Yes it costs more but I would pay it and just order more in bulk that I already do.

I wish more companies offered UPS or FedEx. I've never had an issue with shipping with either of them. I know it's more expensive, but tracking is actually scanned and updated, and since FedEx drivers get paid by the piece, your package is almost always on time.

Report it to the p.o. and to the vendor. Chances are its happened before and a pattern can be established. Speak up.!

I reported it to usps. It only hit two places so I also mentioned to watch out for more reports of vaping related products coming from mail that goes through them. I'm not gonna bother the vendor about it though, I actually already placed a replacement order for it and just paid more for better shipping.

Its more likely it happened before or after the p.o. had it. No one there is gonna risk their union job over a package. good luck.

Envelope but the side looks like it was cut open and scotch taped back closed. Juice is gone but the invoice is still in there.

Did it go through Phoenix? Same thing happened to a package of mine in Phoenix last week.

Never had a problem from usps when it is a package. Regular mail, forget about it. I don't always get stuff people send to me and half the time they don't even take what I am mailing out. I randomly don't get bills. On more than 1 occassion, wedding invitations sent to my house arrived days apart even though they were sent at the exact same time.

File a claim, even for the 5 dollars, if you set a precedence that you wont report it, you vapemail will get targeted more often, i had the same issue and did a report on it, no vapemail magically disappearing in transit.
