Most of you are most likely aware that the "Vape Mail" restriction was passed as part of the COVID relief spending bill. I want to explain what this means to you and vape companies.

How it affects you:

The bill makes adult access to vaping products more difficult and expensive. In short, the new law classifies vaping products as combustible cigarettes and places them under old laws to ensure sales and taxation are appropriately addressed.

No More USPS: Approximately on March 31, 2021. Stores will no longer use USPS to deliver products directly to consumers. Please note these are approximate dates. They plan to offer USPS as a carrier until it is no longer legal to do so.

Alternative Carrier Network: Starting April 1, 2021, they will use alternative shipping and carrier networks to deliver your orders.

Limited Coverage: The new network currently delivers to zip codes covering roughly 70% of the United States population. Though they are working on expanding their coverage, there is no timeline nor guarantee of expanded coverage.

Additional Cost: PACT Act requires EVERY single delivery to be signed by an adult who must prove their age with a government ID. This adds a great deal to the cost associated with every delivery.

Slower delivery: The new network will take significantly longer to deliver your orders.

Stores will be announcing their shipping options, costs, and coverage as soon as they have a clear picture, but tentatively, it will cost them more than $17 to ship packages that weigh less than one pound.
