Might just chance it, sod it, early days anyway and i am sure RM ain't got to grips with it yet anyway and will take years for them to do so I got one recently and there is no toxic label on the box ... just 500ml / 75mg nicotine in propyl glycol in tiny writing on the address label. I knew what was in the box and could hardly see it so not much chance of it getting stopped Nice one, seems like all is fine

I've seen a new label (from RM) on a few parcels I took in for my neighbour. They were home minutes after the postie, so I didn't have time for a really good nosey, but I could see four or five tickboxes, one of which had the word 'toxic' in it. My guess is that our faithful postal delivery service is relying on its customers' honesty. I'm assuming that you have to tick one of these boxes on a label they stick on when you take a parcel to the Post Office these days...
Ok for 'domestic' people to take a risk sending their juice, but it could be costly for businesses if they are caught fibbing.
I can't see this hitting importers straight away, but I'm sure it's going to affect imports from America, at the very least - they are the most litigiously aware of all.
I think, if you've got the cash, order from Nicvapes now. I'd so love to be wrong, but I think this is going to be a problem.

I e-mailed Rich @ nicvapes to ask about this issue, and haven't had a response. However, just looked at nicvapes site and the cheap postage had disappeared from the list of services in the estimate shipping results box, meaning it would be $64 to send half a litre to UK. Looks like Pirates Vape will be getting my next order..... except I've just been through them and it's all out of stock

It says on their web page that Pirates Vape are going to be closed for 6 weeks and they are out of stock from what I can see anyway. There was mention of some sort of stock issue and that all their nic will in future be coming from some supplier or other that I have not heard of(presumably a new and better one?). It does not say when the 6 weeks started though, so one is left to presume that it may well be closed for quite for a while yet.

Thanks Perpetua, I do have Frogster's one bookmarked already as potential source as I do want 72mg. I'm maybe looking for PG as well at that strength, and that is terribly hard to find over here. When you look at the sheer range offered by nic vape for example then look over the uK supply situation, it does make one very sad to be stuck with so little choice, and more or less no sign of any or much competition in the market place. I'm still not sure if I should just make myself one more nic vape customer. If only there were some seriously good choices to be had over here. Those actually having any stock is really something big over here right now, and that's not a good situation. If I could I would really prefer to support a local supplier, but they need to meet me half way and have some decent stock to choose from and price it competitively. Frogster's AC seems to have 72mg VG covered fairly decently and that is to be applauded, but what on earth are the rest of them playing about at? Sorry, did not mean to rant, but it has been a truly vexing search so far. In harder times like these it's a really good idea for a business to try and shine and therefore make some headway if only in goodwill rather than chance falling away as an also ran. You can probably tell that this has been much on my mind the last day or two - I'll get over myself soon I hope!

Hope Pirates Vape are sorted soon - Great Prices and thus far haven't noticed a difference in quality from me usual NicVape stocks Did get 500ml of his 72mg VG that he wasn't happy with - will mix a batch tonight and see what is like

Well yes, but it was 72mg I was after and that 54mg thing is what has been annoying me so badly - ah well, nothing to be done about it I guess. I guess I'll have to go stateside for the other stuff once the delivery thing becomes clearer, assuming it's still plausible at that point. I do hope Royal Mail and their rules is not going to torpedo the industry, that is what the Government are for! LOL

If I order any more Nic Base, I'll need to get the local butcher to keep it in his Cold Storage Room.

At that price it is for a far richer man than I sadly! I sense that I will be compelled to accept defeat on this aspect of it as things stand right now. Thanks for the thought of course.
