LOL Blakey cant wait....im gonna phone them in the morning for an idea of when it'll be delivered, so i don't have to wait in all day... was intending driving to Cambuslang to collect it today, but Brad Pitt is apparently filming in Glasgow today, so there are countless roads closed and i was afraid i'd get diverted and get lost can't charge batteries tho, as the only 18650's i have are flat topped and won't work in the Provari apparently they need nipples so i have to wait for the 3 i ordered with the Provari.... so nice of you to remember it's coming tomorrow, i was chuffed when i saw this, lol

14-08-2011 22:21 International Hub Received from Customs - charges to be paid What really worries me about the imminent (eventual!) arrival of my Provari is that I might never enjoy an 'ordinary' vape again. Well, not that worried really...... Lilac, have you got yours yet?? Lynda

Yep.... my bill came today whilst I was sleeping.
Import VAT £11.15
Clearance Fee £13.50
Total. £24.50
I might make the trip to the depot to collect it, assuming I can find the damned place again.

I've got it....i love it.... had to go pick it up, eventually....Parcel Force said i hadn't paid the charges when i phoned them this morning to ask if they could give me any idea of when it would be delivered....... it was paid on Saturday and the funds left my account yesterday!!! They said they'd deliver it tomorrow, but i'm working all day then & thurs, and felt i just couldn't wait any longer... had a bit of a nightmare trying to find the depot, and that was with a satnav and printed directions from AA, Gordon was completely stressed as he hates driving in an unfamiliar area, especially in the centre of Glasgow.....but after driving in circles for nearly 2 hours, i finally called them & they directed us from where we were (we'd driven past it at least 3 times) But what a shock i got when i saw the declared value on it.....it was $89 ??? so safe to say, altho i love the Provari, Provape themselves are not my favorite people right now >

wOOt Lilac! Delighted you are finally united with your Provari, vaping will never be the same again! It couldn't have been $39 could it? That's the value Provape seem to have recently been sending orders out with. The threshold before attracting VAT & the 'handling charge' is $20 Bel - which was the value PV were declaring until very recently, don't know what's made them change it though.

I was livid with it all on the day, seething infact. But when you've calmed you'll just think bugger em all and realise that the provari is brilliant. unless what they say about the Scots and money is true in which case you could take a month to settle Glad you got it

Lilac out of interest was it marked as perishable with a date? Just asking because mine was, and at a much lesser cost! but hey ..you have it and enjoy And just to add can you buy batteries from the UK for it?

Just thought, wonder if Provape have/are upping the value on 'private' Provari orders to encourage people to use Enjuice instead? As that's a big jump Lilac from what they have been dispatching at. I really think you need a Provari Bel.
