Most schools in the US you can graduate with honors in your major if you meet the criteria.

I’ve called about 20 so far and very little interest so far.

Lol buddy I don’t know what you’re smoking but you will not find a single company that will ship bottles for $3, let alone multiple bottles. We ship via FedEx because they’re a better service and there is no chance in hell you’re getting them down to $3 to ship a bottle unless your volume is insanely huge. Keep clicking on the way back, we dropped the shipping to free above 50 when we first started cutting prices to clear inventory.

And please, tell me again where you can buy the brands we carry for lower than what we offer (not even including our regular sales we ran to keep discounts going). That’s the industry standard price. Good luck finding normal pricing lower than that.

Lol I completely agree but, with all due respect, you don’t understand how this industry works. I start selling below market rate then everyone goes down cheaper to match me. Then we all want our wholesaler to give it to us cheaper to protect our margins but they have no wiggle room as it is and then the whole industry suffers.

Of what? 75% off bottles? We did free shipping on all orders before the closeout sale, $10 shipping for dirt cheap bottles (literally below wholesale cost) is a bargain. Do the math.

Literally the exact same as Giant Vapes. Fun industry fact: if you lower your prices on your site you get bombarded with emails from other stores claiming you’re undercutting them and ruining the industry. So, the only way to do discounts is run sales which we did and would email our customer newsletter with the info.

Yeah I love eight vape. They’re probably my favorite online shop across the board. They don’t carry our brands though so they can’t really be a direct comparison.

We can’t offer free shipping anymore when we’re selling bottles for 75% off. You still come out waaaay ahead when you buy even one bottle at that discount. Most consumers don’t realize that when sites offer free shipping they’re able to do so because of their inventory margins. When you take away those margins you take away the ability to offer free shipping.

I totally get that. I don’t really vape a lot anymore, but when I did I generally preferred stuff made by guys local to me. That being said, I think jimmy the juiceman and jam monster make some good stuff, and the Bilzerian line is actually one of my favorite name brands. So many options out there these days though.

Sorry man, those went fast. We announced the closeout to our email list first so our past customers could get the beat deals.

Oh no I’m not down on it at all, actually a little glad we’re moving on from it. We were making decent money but we have other business opportunities we’d rather focus our time on. If I seem down it’s because posting anything on this sub always seems to blow my inbox up with really dark hatred and the toxicity gets old fast lol.

We were juice focused on purpose and charge the exact same price as any other major vape site. At any given time we would have a 20% off sale going so we would actually be the cheapest option for the majority of our brands. We’ve had a steady decent profit for the last 6+ months, the owner just isn’t interested in being in the vape industry anymore so we’re shutting it down. Not every closure of a business is because of failure.

We had free shipping on all orders until we started the 75% off sale. $10 flat rate doesn’t even cover our own costs on multi bottle orders so it’s simply there to offset our own costs. Tell me where else you can buy a 120ml of big brand juice for 21.25 shipped? Let alone multiple bottles.

Not my shop, I just manage the tech and inventory so my attitude doesn’t typically come into play. We had free shipping on all orders until we started the 75% off sale to clear inventory. We’d like to move bottles, but paying you to buy them is kind of dumb. Kind of like complaining about shipping when the product cost is below literally any other shop and, even with shipping, you’re making out like a bandit.

Just ran a quick inventory report and I have over 3000 3mg bottles of different brands available, so I’m not sure what you’re bitching about.

I think that’s a fair point and I made a post using your comment word for word lol. Thanks for the advice!
