Tobacco Products
Tobacco product sales and shipping are available to California customers only. We do not sell or ship tobacco products outside the state of California.
To comply with California tobacco shipping requirements, all tobacco product orders are subject to age and identity verification before shipment. Customers must be 21 years of age or older to purchase tobacco products.
Before your tobacco product order ships, you will receive an automated phone call after 5:00 PM confirming your order. This call is for order confirmation only and does not require any additional verification from you.
Orders that cannot be verified may be delayed or canceled.
All tobacco product deliveries require a signature from a person 21 years of age or older at the time of delivery.
Restricted Products
Shipping policies and restrictions are subject to change and may not always reflect the most recent legal or regulatory updates.
If your order includes a restricted product, our team will contact you to arrange an alternative or issue a refund.
5. Signature Requirements
We reserve the right to require a signature or adult signature upon delivery for any order based on product type, order value, shipping destination, or applicable legal requirements.
6. Out-of-Stock Items, Delays, and Cancellations
Product availability is not guaranteed. If an item is out of stock, unavailable, restricted, or cannot be fulfilled for any reason, we may delay shipment, cancel the affected item, cancel the order, issue a refund, or contact you to arrange an alternative.
We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from delayed shipments, out-of-stock items, unavailable products, canceled orders, carrier delays, or delivery issues.
7. Transfer of Risk and Title
Ownership and responsibility for goods transfer to the buyer once the shipment leaves our warehouse and is accepted by the carrier.
We are not liable for loss, damage, theft, delay, or other issues once the carrier has accepted the package, except where otherwise required by law.
8. Damaged, Lost, or Delayed Shipments
Customers must inspect all shipments upon delivery and report any damage, shortages, or discrepancies within 3 business days.
In the event of damage, loss, or delivery issues, customers must first contact us. We will provide instructions regarding next steps.
Customers may be required to file a claim directly with the carrier, provide photos or documentation, sign insurance certifications, or complete other procedures as instructed.
9. Backorders and Partial Shipments
If an item is on backorder, we may delay shipment until all items are available.
If the delay is significant, we may process a partial shipment and send the remaining items separately when they become available.
10. Tracking and Notifications
Tracking numbers are automatically provided by email once your order ships.
Customers may track shipments directly through the applicable carrier website, including FedEx, GLS, UPS, or USPS.
11. No Guarantee of Delivery Dates
While we strive to process and ship orders promptly, we do not guarantee delivery dates.
We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers, weather conditions, holidays, incorrect shipping information, customs issues, or other factors beyond our control.
12. Delivery to Mail and Freight Forwarders
We exercise reasonable care to ensure that all orders are securely packaged and shipped in good condition.
Our responsibility for an order ends upon confirmed delivery to the mail or freight forwarding service designated by the customer. Delivery to the forwarding service’s United States address, as provided on the order, constitutes full performance of our contractual shipping obligations.
Once delivery has been verified by carrier tracking or delivery confirmation, title to and risk of loss for the products transfer to the customer.
Mail and freight forwarding services may repackage, consolidate, reroute, or otherwise alter shipments. We are not liable for any loss, damage, breakage, shortage, misdelivery, delay, customs seizure, or other issue arising after delivery to the forwarding service.
Any claims related to issues occurring after delivery to the forwarding service must be directed to the customer’s chosen forwarding agent.
By selecting shipment to a mail or freight forwarding service, the customer acknowledges and agrees that we are not responsible for the condition, contents, or delivery of the order once it has been successfully delivered to the forwarding service.
13. Policy Updates
We reserve the right to update this Shipping Policy at any time without prior notice.
Significant changes may be communicated by email or posted on our website.
