The absolute and ultimate WTF!!!!

[ghostrider1971]

Evening each,

Got home from work this evening and happily collected my post.

2 lots of concentrates from BCL - expected and marvellous.

Also, a very small and slightly curious envelope from China....

Now, it's about A6 size and is from Shenzen DWZ.

The cover and customs declarations says "Gift" & "Value $0.01" and the contents as "foam bag".

Yep, someone has actually paid to send me a very small EMPTY envelope from China.....with a tracking number on the front......

Having been a connoisseur of the great Bond films for over 40 years I have skinned the envelope looking for the hidden microfilm, but......it is.....an empty envelope....

WTF is wrong with these people......?

(EDIT - I'm actually tempted to return their kindness - find a random Chinese vape manufacturer and send them an expired Cleito coil or half a bottle of 2 year old Hangsen RY4?)

Didn't this happen before to someone?

There's a thread on potv about this. It's something to do with companies in China having to have a minimum number of parcels sent to qualify for subsidised or free shipping which is paid for by the Chinese government.

skaramanga - Thank you for the clarification

Hmmmmm....so they harvest and keep customer details and send them **** to keep their costs down?

An interesting paradox me thinks

I guess as consumers we like our "free" shipping but it just seems a bit of a strange way to do it

Very strange, how other parts of the world work ghostrider1971
That aside, I will be putting an order in to BCL myself over the weekend. Really enjoying Old Captain and Drummer, which I'm glad to say have both knocked the idea of having a cigarette right on the head. The Origen Tiny which I had hoped to use the Tobacco juice in was not such a resounding success, in fact it turned out to be an expensive drip tip for my entheon.

striker42 - Glad to hear you are enjoying them

If I may make a suggestion or two....Desert Ship (Turkish tobacco) is amazing as is Black Mamba (Deep and dark fruit with a hint of cigar)

Neil thebishman IIRC correctly Richard . . . . think I've had just the one completely empty ' goodie ' bag from China.

But my cup runneth over with Amazon tat.

I liked the tiny, got another waiting to be shipped, it needs wiring strangely crossing the wires inside the posts so they make a decent connection, adding a massive silicon heat shield over the dirp-tip (wider than the atty, cut down TVF8 silicon drip tip) on the drip tip not to burn my lips, and lets not forget you need to sqonk every 1.5 puffs that also makes it easy to over squonk, but a nice vape all the same.

If you want another tiny with quicker shipping, you can have this one, it escaped the hammer. PM me your details before 2pm and I'll post it on my way to work.

Thanks mate, but it has moved to ready for shipping now and I don't wanna delay the order, I'll have 2 and only 2 squonk mods I use now. striker42
