What happens if goods arrive damaged?

Photograph the cartons before unpacking, keep the packaging, and send the batch code with your claim. We settle legitimate freight damage as a credit or replacement on the following order rather than leaving it open for months.

Do you ship internationally?

We ship to most markets where the import of these products is permitted. Some destinations restrict nicotine containing goods entirely, and a few require additional registration before clearance. We will tell you honestly if a route is not workable before you pay.
