Your Responsibility:
As the Customer it is your responsibility to Track your package and know when it is arriving. You should always sign up for Text Message & Email Shipping Update Notifications so you know exactly when the package is arriving. If you know ahead of time that packages tend to be stolen than it is your responsibility to make some sort of arrangement to get your package. You need to have a secure location that your Mail Carrier can deliver packages to.
Once USPS delivers the package our Job is complete. It is up to you to make sure your package will be secure if you are not home. You can ask your Postal Worker to put packages in a certain place that is out of view from the street, you can be home when the Postal Worker is going to be there, you can have a friend or family member be there, or you can rent a PO Box and have packages shipped there. There are lots of options available to make sure that your package doesn’t get stolen.
Please understand that we cannot be responsible for packages that are hundreds or thousands of miles away. Please do your part and pro-actively Track incoming packages so you know when they are arriving. Remember, it is your responsibility to find a secure place that packages can be left & to than inform the Postal Workers of this location.

Stolen Packages:
If you believe a Package has been stolen you need to file a Police Report & then Submit A Claim with USPS. Once a Package has been marked as Delivered there isn’t anything we can do. Stolen Packages are not the responsibility of The Best Vape.
Tracking:
- Pre-Shipment. If your Tracking says “Pre-Shipment” please don’t be alarmed. If your Order is shown as “Completed” and you received a Tracking #, your Order has shipped. We do not hold onto packages. This “Pre-Shipment” Status just means USPS has not actually scanned your package. But, they do have it, and it is in route. USPS is very overwhelmed and they do not have the resources to scan every single package right away. It will probably be scanned and updated within a few days. Thank you for your patience and understanding during these trying times.
- Sometimes it takes a few hours for the initial acceptance scan to update in USPS’s Tracking System.
- If you receive an email with a Tracking # you can be sure it has shipped or is shipping that day. Always look at the Date next to the Tracking # in the Order Completed Email, that is the Ship Date.
- Duplicate / Multiple Items Found – If your Tracking Status says “Duplicate” or “Multiple Items Found” this is a temporary USPS Glitch. Please give their system a few hours to work itself out. Normally this clears itself up when the package is physically scanned.
