I'm not panicking just keeping the topic up to date as to what's happening.  It's a minor pet peeve of mine when the tracked delivery thing is brought up because it is needlessly expensive and provides an easy out but whatevs.

It provides traceability, but indeed, sorry for being silly and bringing it up.

Just replied - we'll reship it to you free of charge, as promised.

My previous reply still holds - I will get back to you when (and if) your untracked order gets back to us.

Thanks only, I have responded to your latest email.

Order re-shipped, apologies for the inconvenience!

This is my experience here so far.  I ordered a few cartons a couple of months ago and everything arrived within a couple of weeks no problems.  My last two orders I made in December were for 14 cartons.  So far I have received 6 cartons, customs has 6 cartons and still waiting on 2 more.

So do I pay the $705 to get them out of customs or just cut my losses there, ummm  I think I will just cut my losses.  According to the letter they sent the smokes will be destroyed and they wont send them back. 

So it seems the Australian customs do their job better than anywhere else.  The bastards...

$705 for 6 cartons? Don't pay that. Assuming the success rate to Australia is at least 50%, you'll be better off using that money to buy again.

@only - what actually happens when cigs are seized? Can customs send them back to you? Does recipient need to request them to be sent back to sender? Or does it depend on the country?

Yeah, I've seen 'borderforce Australia' on TV, they don't fuck around.

Sorry to hear that. However given the context this sort of outcome is kindof expected, not to say desired. Australian customs really are fucking tough, and we write about this on the checkout page. Fingers crossed for the remaining 2 cartons though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but even if you pay the $705, am I right in assuming the price/pack ratio for those 6 cartons alone is still better compared to buying the same cigarettes offline?

They do send them back to sender, the only exceptions being the UK, Australia and New Zealand - it seems like the customs in these three countries have spotted our little workaround since they only recently started the practice of destroying the cigarettes if the duty isn't paid.

It would work out slightly cheaper than buying at the shops but given the hassles its probably not worth the effort, as it would only work out about $1 a pack less than getting them at the local shops. 
 
At this stage it seems to be a toss up.  Pay $705 and get a guaranteed 6 cartons or put that $705 to buy more cartons and hope that more than 6 get through customs. 

I might just have to give up smoking.

I would pay the $705. Even if it's only $1 cheaper. You would have spent that money on smokes anyway.

Okay I will do the sums properly.  It will cost $119.31 per carton to get them out of customs.  Add that to the approx $43 that I already spent on the them and that adds up to $162.32 per carton.  So its actually about the same or even slightly dearer.  The only bonus is the cigarettes you sneak through without paying duty are a lot cheaper.

Those $43 are gone either way, so you shouldn't be including it in calculation. And I'm guessing it's $43/per carton, not total. So 6 x $43 = $258.

I don't agree with Mitchełł though. I wouldn't be paying that. I would rather order another 14 cartons. With your current success rate @ 42.8% (providing those 2 missing cartons are intercepted as well), you'll receive at least 6 of them. Total cost would be 14 x $43 = $602. So still less than $705 you would have to pay the customs. And maybe OP would give you some special discount

Hmmm, I mean they will be destroyed if you don't pay up, so you would tjus throw that money away. Not sure if you want that.

To me the same. I ordered on the 8th and received a shipping confirmation the same day, but I haven't received the cigarettes yet.
Normally the cigarettes are delivered within 1 - 1,5 weeks (to The Netherlands), but this time not unfortunately. I know the Terms & Conditions states it can take up to 4 - 5 weeks before the cigarettes are delivered, so I will wait a bit longer, but I am concerned the cigarettes aren't going to be delivered this time

Hey only! I placed an order with you earlier this month and received a shipping confirmation on the 3rd, so its been about 22 days. I've never had an order take this long.

Is this normal or is there some kind of hold up you're aware of? When I receive my order, I'll be sure to report back here like I always do.

Many thanks!

The delay might have been caused by the local Christmas/NY celebrations (our Christmas is on the 7th and the Old New Year is on the 14th of January, which is retarded, but oh well).

Either way, no need to panic, you're still well within the expected delivery time range - your orders should be with you this week. Please let us know when you receive them.

@only I'd just like to say that I received the re-shipment today, so under a week. A massive thank you for your helpfulness!

I placed an order for Marlboro Reds 5 weeks ago and they haven't arrived yet.  I live in America.  Is this normal?  Could they have gotten seized?

I believe this is normal for this time of year. I ordered two cartons which shipped at the end of December and arrived 34 days later yesterday. I live in New York. Slower than previous orders, but they arrived nonetheless.
