Apologies I forgot to mention that my previous post relates to traveling within Europe only.

You smokers sicken me :mad:

I spend my hard-earned tax euros on replacement lungs and ventilators for you lot, and I have to run the *coughsplutter* gauntlet of your filthy habit every time I want to get into or out of the pub.

Die, all of you.

After being in the States for about two years, I still laugh at the differences in expressions between Ireland and here. I knew you were talking about smoking, but if you talked about "cheap fags" over here, they would think something about your sexual orientation.;)

Eurm western union is a favorite with scammers.

How long did it take to arrive?
Im going to get them budget fags later. Less than €10 for 8 packs of 20 cancer sticks, not bad at all!

Plug · 15-09-2007 12:33pm

The thing that most people dont know is that there is no limit on the amount of smokes you can bring back (there is some urban myth about it being 4 cartons or something). Anyway you just need to be able to justify that they are for personal use and not for sale. Due to the nature of the product thats pretty easy. On multiple occasions I've walked through customs with 3000 smokes without any problems.

Goods bought in another EU country

You will not be charged any extra duty or VAT on purchases where the duty and VAT has been paid (for example, goods bought in shops, supermarkets, etc.) in another EU country, provided the goods are for your personal use.

If your purchases are equivalent to or less than the quantities set out in the table below, they will usually be regarded as being for your personal use. If you exceed these quantities, you may have to demonstrate at Customs that the goods are for your personal use.
Goods Maximum quantity allowed
Cigarettes 800
Cigarillos 400
Cigars 200
Smoking tobacco 1 kg
Spirits (whiskey, vodka, gin, etc.) 10 litres
Intermediate Products (e.g. sherry, port, etc., excluding sparkling wine) 20 litres
Wine (only 60 litres of sparkling wine allowed) 90 litres
Beer 110 litres

they will ship in small quantities to avoid this.

You've just proven my point.

Customs Officer: Thats a lot of cigs.
Me: Sure is I smoke 60 a day.
Customs Officer: Move along your holding up the q.

Might just follow suit. Would be really easy to sell off for €5 a box to my mates me thinks.
5*8=40-11.42=28.58 Profit

This is promising, proves it isn't a scam anyway. With regards to secure payment I think e-gold is the safest option. I've used it before, had no problems.

when i saw this thread i deciced to order again.

60 packs of menthols and 60 packs of marlboro lights.
my parents smoke rothmans but they dont have them either.

it takes anywhere from a week to 2 weeks to get there.

RoyalMarine · 15-09-2007 8:59pm

letter in post saying how much it will cost to release them from customs...

and if you do pay, there's a big chance you wont get them anyway as some joe soap down the customs office robbed them.

Hey Guys

I used europe.smokecafe.com before (once to test it) and they seem to work just the same as happysmoker.net.

I ordered, waited, waited (and waited) for about 18 days, and é voila! the smokes came...I was in feckin work, so got a thing in the letter box to go collect them from my local sorting office! Was shi*ing a brick, not sure what to expect, but as far as they were concerned it was just another parcel.

It was delieverd not in the shape of a carton, you wouldnt know that they were smokes.

Anyway, seen as the test run went well, I had already decided they were going to make a fortune out of me!

I was going on hols that week, so no need to order any more could just get some on hols. Came back and went to order, struck a problem, it said "sold out" under all of the cigs on the website. I emailed them, and they got back saying " We no longer ship to Ireland "

Cant understand why.

Anyway, I'm looking to try these guys (happysmoker) out and was wondering if anyone has sucsessfully got their smokes yet ( and be honest lads )!

P.s
Checked out the site on ripoffreport.com and came back as 3 results below, but if you look at all 3, they are in similar "format" and I've used ripoffreport before and they dont really have a standard format for their posts....more than likely some pis*ed off customer or competitor.

Buying smokes off the web is the way forward....just like meteor, VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

Cheers in advance
