“Despite our best efforts, in order to ensure thorough and thoughtful consideration of the complex issues and voluminous comments by industry, individual, and governmental stakeholders, the Postal Service is unable to publish a final rule by today’s target date,” spokesman David P. Coleman said in an email.
Coleman said the USPS would finalize the rule “as soon as possible.”
“Mailers should be prepared for implementation upon publication anytime,” he said.

OUR RECOMMENDATION
- Stock up your inventory whenever you order.
- Stock up on Flavorless with Nicotine and then order and add your own flavoring as needed. It will last 2+ years.
- Talk to your local vape shop. They may be willing to stock your preferred e-liquids from us through our wholesale program. We believe business-to-business services will continue and we should have backup business delivery carriers in place in the next 2 weeks.
