    Well remember you will have to pay duty and VAT and Royal Mail's (or a couriers's) handling charge when you receive them, so it's hardly a bargain. SOME of the time you might get away with it but it's not to be relied on.

    It may be legal but no doubt HMRC have the sender flagged and will ensure that duty & VAT are paid when it enters the country. You will probably be worse off financially by the time HMRC & the transport company have taken their bit.

    It's legal for the company to flog them, but somewhere in the small print it will say that it's the customer's responsibility to settle local taxes and duty (evading these is the illegal bit).

    If you travel to the EU, you can bring back as many as you like as long as they are for personal use. You must travel with ciggies (ie can't post them to yourself), and are likely to be questioned if you have heaps (anecdotal - more than 20 sleeves). So, treat yourself to a week on the Med...

    dont know where you are in the country but my OH and I went on the Hull to
    Brugges ferry for a mini cruise and it cost us £78 for the two of us. We brought
    back enough to last us for 6 months and will go again in March for the next 6 months supply. You will just have to check the prices in Brugges or the ferry prices to see if its worth it.
    P & O also do mini cruises down south as far as i know.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

  • Has anoyone ever ordered off this site before? any feedback?

  • When I was a smoker(I gave up in February :D) I was about to buy from one of those sites, I'm glad I googled before I did because I would have paid exactly the same when they arrived here.
