Vape Mail Ban Solutions – How to receive Vape Products in the US following direct-to-consumer shipping ban
PUDO offers the first workable solution for the vaping industry in the wake of major US parcel carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx) becoming unable to deliver vape products directly to its customers.
The October 12, 2021 edition of Federal Register, the official journal of the US federal government containing government agency rules and notices, states the mailing of electronic nicotine delivery systems: “like cigarettes and smokeless tobacco, such items are generally non-mailable, subject to certain exceptions.”
The regulatory change treats vaping as a controlled substance similar to alcohol and tobacco meaning delivery services can no longer ship vaping products direct to customers causing a major disruption of the supply chain.
PUDO integrates its online technology platforms with online vape retailers giving the vape customer unmatched access and convenience.
“PUDO makes vape deliveries available for pickup at a location 1 to 7 minutes from a customer’s home allowing for full compliance with new government regulations, making it easy for customers and stakeholders to get what they want every step of the way. Most importantly this solution is available today” said Frank Coccia, Founder and CEO of PUDO Inc.
PUDO is the world’s largest carrier-neutral network. Its proprietary technology platform turns neighborhood convenience stores into convenient Pick Up and Drop Off locations for all courier companies. Giving vape customers the ability to change shipping carriers from one order to the next (in order to get the best deal) while keeping the same nearby PUDOpoint delivery location.
With PUDO the online vape retailer ships to a PUDOpoint or from one business to another, which is permissible under the new government regulations.
When packages arrive at a PUDOpoint, the customer is notified. Next, the customer presents a valid ID to receive the package. PUDOpoints already perform face-to-face age and identity verification, solving this major problem for vape retailers, regulators, customers, and courier companies.
