So I went and got myself a disposable and it was a pain in the ass because I had to put in my dad's name and d.o.b to purchase and ship it to because the site wouldn't take my social security #.

Anyway it was supposed to come today and the mail truck came by but my email says it couldn't be delivered. Is that because my dad has to be actually present and it handed off to sign by him?

Can I sign for it even though my license has expired?

I hate this run around, so stupid, when kids get vapes anyway through snapchat or w/e but my ass is stuck having to do it the legal circus way.

The only time this has happened to me, I was wondering whether or not the likely overburdened postal carrier would actually get down, come to my door and verify ID. I missed them coming/going because at some point the delivery just was there. This was maybe six years ago, in Texas. Of course, that’s not to say things haven’t changed since, or you aren’t somewhere different.

If it is thru the USPS, have you signed up for Informed Delivery? It’s via the postal service website. Anything that passes thru their system is scanned and you can get a daily mail telling you what is due to arrive. Maybe you can get some info from there. If nothing else, having the vendor check delivery status may help. Does it have a tracking number? If so, sometimes calling the post office branch that handles your house’s mail and giving them that number can tell you if it’s out for redelivery, or on its way back to its origination, etc. hope you get to the bottom of it, and soon.

Noted thanks comrade, I'll keep an eye out tomorrow about what's going on. ugh, I really should just fucking quit at this point, but I bought the vape because I was and am still upset over my cat.
