I'm in WI, and it's usually 2-3 days for me, although mine are usually UPS.

Were they able to tell you when your smokes were shipped?
If they had gone right out you should have had them by now.
I think for the most part that USPS does a great job, but my mail carrier told me that sometimes they let the packages, especially the small ones, pile up for a week or so at the local Post Office because they don't have enough employees to sort them. Encouraging isn't it? Be thankful that it's not some necessary mediction you need!

I'd call your local PO or drop by, maybe they can "find" it for you.
Best of luck.

What kind of shipping did you get? Priority or regular?

I wouldn't be surprised if it is the usps. i was in the mail order business for many years and the usps lost a lot of packages . We finally had to go strictly with Ups. The Usps was not accountable for their mistakes and there was no recourse.

Default Re: joe's shipping in the tank?

When I was living on Long Island and even here in NC my stuff showed/shows up in two days three tops. I also have all my CI/C-Bid/Joe shipments sent via UPS. Before I told them that this is my preferred method their shipping methods were random at best and I had two packages go rouge and one was sent USPS and the other DHL. If it's not there by Monday I would call and put up a stink. No reason why shipping should take that long. Have they sent you a tracking number at least? Not that it makes a difference when sent USPS but at least if you have one you know it was shipped and when it was shipped.

I noticed that my order is coming USPS when all my previous orders came UPS 1-2 days.

The last two small orders I made with Joe are the first to come through USPS and they both took 6-7 working days. In the past they always sent them UPS and they got here in 2-3 days, plus the driver would wait until after 5 to deliver them for me.

I think they send the smaller stuff USPS, and the larger orders UPS. That's what they've done for me anyway.

Default Re: joe's shipping in the tank?

Last time I ordered from Joe and it was being delivered USPS, they required a signature for some reason. They had never done this before. After a week or so,I poked around and found this sorry looking yellow slip of paper at the bottom of my mailbox telling me I had to go pick it up at the local office. Dunno, maybe they are sitting at the P.O. waiting for you?
