Hopefully some of the Vendors can see the above chart and reconsider postage prices!!!! The charts are upto date just dragged them from a document we use. I'm guessing they wont. Its a pity this thread isn't located in the Vendors forum perhaps there would be more chance then. Though having said that it also seems that the Vendors who are more active in the forum such as Jason @ VE and vapourtine with their regular updates are also the ones who DONT rip us off

Have never tried the highly acclaimed 'Swedish Fish' because of the postage cost. Can't remember the exact prices but the juice was about £5 and the postage was something like £6.75 so I didn't bother. Yeah Alba do Swedish Fish.. I was gonna add it along with my root beer to make the postage hit seem less harsh. But then I decided sod it. Why should I .. I'm guessing its what they want us to do. At the end of the day rip off postage is rip off postage. I simply take my custom elsewhere. £1.85 for first class post seems more reasonable compared with Alba's £3.90 for 2nd class.

Yeah to be fair, had I been ordering £20 or £30 of juice I wouldn't have given it a 2nd thought. But im not paying £4 p+p for a £4.50 product.

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to read page 2. It's a shame I can't just get everything I like at vapeescape because if I could I wouldn't use anybody else. Hell yeah. I wish I still lived in Rochdale. Would be in the shop at VE spending all my pennies!

It's a shame isn't it, though I appreciate the thinking behind the postage costs, but they must be losing business with that level of postal charges. :-[ They have certainly lost mine. I wouldn't mind another vendor on here charged my something like £2.50 p+p for a larger package. A day later I got a £1.40 refund on paypal. I emailed them and queried it. The reply came was that they use a flat rate for postage but my package wasn't gonna cost anything like £2.50 to deliver, so the Paypal refund was a part refund of postage. Anyways im off on a search for some Root Beer juice from elsewhere.

I just sent about 40ml of liquid in post and it cost 90p. I have no idea where they get the ridiculous postage prices. Alba-Vapours does it too. A couple of 10ml bottles and postage is £6 odd. I used to like their liquid, not at that bloody price I dont. Yeah It was Alba that I ranted about... not good

Alba! Their minimum postage is nearly £4.00! I don't get it, I posted elsewhere on here about it. Are they actually trying to stop people ordering? Have they had stuff go missing? They do a massive role of kanthal for £8.00 and loads of other stuff I want but there is no way on earth I'm paying £4.00 minimum postage! Chris. Yeah I just found this out too about Alba. They do a root beer eliquid that gets great reviews. 10ML for £4.50.. But as Toondog says...£3.90 for SECOND class delivery... this is after having the gall to tell me the weight of the package 0.02 kg £5.70 for first class It also says even second class is tracked signed for(didn't know there was such a thing) so probably a trip down to the sorting office to collect Then the final straw about Alba is I got all the way through to the Paypal page. At no point did it give an option to use discount code. Its taking the p*** I know this is partly down to Royal Mail, but to put things into perspective I just ordered a Vamo, a charger and a ton of batteries from China... so not a small package, but still £1 less postage than what alba want me to pay to have delivered a 10ml bottle of liquid. As said .. best to vote with your feet. I am gutted about the root beer tho.

Its already ordered mate.. Then I so gotta quit with the shinies for a while. Funnily enough I said that last Saturday when my ego-twist arrived. There is nothing else out there that will do more technically than the Vamo, there are prettier devices, but nothing can really outperform it, so your wallet should be safe for a while Yeah im really big on reading up(to extremes) on things I buy if they cost more than say £30. So I looked at plenty of youtube reviews. Cant remember who it was but a particular reviewer really bigged it up and that was after saying at the start of the video that he was always being accused of being a Provari fanboy. I honestly came into vaping with the sole purpose of getting off the 30-40 rollies a day. Mission achieved hopefully. I guess now im looking for the ultimate vape.. but I could never justify paying £100+ on a battery to achieve it. Then again from the reviews I saw it was mainly suggested that vaping quality wise there wasn't much in it between the Provari and the Vamo. I am still a newbie so can I ask what resistance you would suggest for the heads assuming it makes a difference? I have plenty of CE4's, but recently have switched to Nova's... both sizes.. and will probably stick with those for future buys. I tend to do sweet vapes such as GVC and Banoffee cream.. again if that makes a difference.

Just to re-assure you, wherever you buy your Vamo, you will be getting the same goods, there is only one factory producing the Vamo. I think Madwill was just referring to the SS version being a better bet than the Chrome, rather than suggesting a variation between vendors
