Hey guys,
Few years I've been sending cartons to my friend in Europe from Ukraine where I'm living just because of our friendship and high difference in prices. I had a few talks with guys who do the same to US and it's a profitable business here . I wonder if I can do that. We have all brands here (Marlboro, Winston, Camel, Kent, Kiss, Parliament, Lucky Strike and most of others) of the same quality by low prices. The only thing is the cost of delivery. But anyway the price in 15-20$ for carton of any brand is good for me(+5$ for delivery and in case of sending 2-3 cartons it gets lower). So if anybody is interested we can discuss it.
As experience shows - the price is much lower than buying locally even with duty and taxes(0,4$ duty for 1 carton - u can check it on duty calculator online

Besides, the time of delivery by plane - 7-10 days. Also the product is covered by foil, so the x-ray doesn't harm it. Also you dont need to ride somewhere, you just go to the closest mail and get the packege. It an verified practice and thousands of people use it.
