Liquid from China troubles...

[techtechnique]

I don't know if you are all aware of this but I placed an order with vaporbreak a couple of weeks ago for a load of e-juice (300mls in total) as I have done a couple of times before, as getting it from China works out SO much cheaper.
Anyhow, I got in touch with the site today to find out where my order was and I was told that the Chinese Government have now BANNED export of juice products to a number of foreign countries, the UK included.
He was not sure how long this ban would be in place for and is issuing me a full refund of my order payment.
THIS SUCKS!
I'm not sure how many of you buy your juice from China, but I just thought I'd give you a head's up.

BTW, can anyone recommend a good UK based juice supplier that doesn't cost the earth? I like to buy 50ml bottles as I can't be doing with silly little 10 or 20ml bottles littering up the place!

I looked at that, can only see 10ml bottles, that I also find a PITA!

The Chinese Government has not banned the sale of liquid to the UK the problem is with the carriers. I has been well covered in other threads.

I stand corrected! Just relaying what I was told this afternoon...
The end result's the same though!

No it isn't, there's more choice of Carriers in China then Governments!

They just need to ship as said with another courier & depending on the weight depends on who will ship it at what price, they also need to show it is safe to fly!.

TNT / DHL & EMS are all good to ship with to the UK, I would get back in-touch with them if it was me & ask if it was a possibility.

They said they could use DHL but they had a minimum shipping weight of 3kg, which would be prohibitively expensive.
