Complete Guide to Buying Cigarettes Online
What to look out for when purchasing cigarettes online...
Location of where cigarettes are manufactured... You may be thinking why is the location so important for online cigarettes... well it is extremely significant in determining many aspects of the cigarettes you are about to purchase. It is vital in finding out as a consumer of online cigarettes the location of manufacture as this will inevitably tell you the value and quality of those cigarettes. Location of manufacture is sometimes visible:
Let me give you a few examples of how the location can affect the cigarettes which you are buying online. Lets say the cigarettes you are purchasing are manufactured in Eastern Europe, and display a price of $17.99 a carton. You might think that is pretty cheap as you've seen what seems to be the same cigarettes at another store for $24.99, but these cigarettes may well be manufactured in Western Europe which are of a far greater quality in their tobacco, manufacture, and overall demand. So these cigarettes you initially think are cheap, you can probably find them at another Cigarettes Store for $5 cheaper. Don't be deceived by the price of cigarettes as unless you know where the cigarettes are manufactured it is hopeless to tell if that price you are paying is reasonable of you are simply getting ripped off. Keep in mind that cigarettes manufactured from different locations are not the same, here is a hierarchical table we constructed which you keep in mind when browsing for cigarettes online ...
It is easy to confuse cigarettes from certain areas with others, there are ways other than just price in checking and finding out where the cigarettes are manufactured. You can simply get in contact with that site either by email or phone (varies from store to store) and ask them where they are manufactured. Sometimes you can see from the picture of the cigarettes the origin of manufacture, but it is recommended to contact the store just to make sure before purchasing. Stores that provide a phone contact number are normally more reliable and are normally less likely to be hiding any information regarding their cigarettes. Added cigarette costs, - shipping, processing, packaging... Once you have discovered the location of manufacture and you are aware of the quality of the cigarettes you wish to buy, you should then look into what other costs will be added onto the given price from that store. The price at first seem a lot lower than several competitors, although many stores make up for this difference by adding extra to shipping costs of cartons of cigarettes. CIG STORE #1 Marlboro price = $20.99 + shipping ($6) Total = $26.99 CIG STORE #2 Marlboro price = $21.99 + shipping ($2) Total = $23.99 The example above shows how the initial cigarettes price can be made to look cheaper, but when it comes down to purchasing the cigarettes when you reach a cigarette stores shopping cart check to see what extra shipping they are charging you. When you reach the shopping cart you will find out how much exactly has been added on for shipping/processing/packaging costs. To get a better idea of their terms, it might be a good idea to check to see if that cigarettes store has an FAQ section that explains any extra costs in more detail. Quality of cigarettes you are purchasing... When looking online for quality cigarettes your best bet is to firstly check the location (I know again!), as the location of where cigarettes are manufactured proves time and time again in determining the quality of cigarette and tobacco you are ordering. Sometime location alone isn't enough to decide whether the cigarettes you are viewing are to a decent standard. You may find cheap American made cigarettes online that seem to be the same as from another online store but are $3 cheaper. This is when freshness of cigarettes and tobacco comes into play, because the cheapness in prices may be because that store may be selling old stock. The trick is to find a cigarette store that supplies fresh high quality tobacco, and you cant be sure until after you actually receive your order of cigarettes. You can take some precautionary measures in order to make sure you are actually ordering the best quality cigarettes. Try checking a few features such as: Cigarettes Packaging - Try to see where cigarettes are manufactured Cigarettes Price - Being TOO cheap is never a good sign Cigarette Store Service - The better the customer service can mean a more reliable cigarette Cigarette Shipping Conditions - Longer waits may mean they are shipped from abroad Payment Options - how to pay for your cigarettes online... What are your payment options with ordering cigarettes online..? Your options for purchasing cigarettes online are quite limited but you must still take careful consideration when ordering online, the most safest and recommended method is by Electronic Check. You can also pay for cigarettes through a money order or by postal order although this is only possible if you are ordering U.S. made cigarettes. VISA use to be the most popular method for payment but it is now widely unaccepted as VISA International has prevented cigarette sales online. The most simplest form of payment is to use an electronic check or better known as an E-Check, we strongly recommend online buyers to use e-checks for payment. Read on to discover why...

Price - making sure you are paying accordingly... To know whether you are paying fairly for the cigarettes your are ordering, you have to firstly distinguish what cigarettes you are purchasing. There can be several variations of a single type of cigarette... Lets say you see cigarettes advertised as Marlboro Red... they actually could be any of the following: Marlboro Red King Box USA ... $37.99 Marlboro Red King Box Philippines ... $20.99 Marlboro Red European Made ... $23.99 Marlboro Red Made in Russia ... $12.99 Marlboro Red Switzerland ... $25.99
Note: these are example
prices, don't use them The point being, unless you know exactly what cigarettes you are ordering, you cannot be sure if you are overpaying or not. The location of manufacture comes into play once again, it gives you an idea of the quality of tobacco you are buying so you can determine whether or not you are paying accordingly. -SEE OUR ONLINE CIGARETTE PRICE GUIDE- Store reliability - how to determine when a cigarettes store is creditable to order from... This is certainly the biggest fear of every consumer who is looking to purchase any type of product online. The big question that jumps straight into your mind when you are looking through an online store is are they actually legitimate?... There is simply no way that you can determine how reliable a site is until you have actually ordered and experienced their service. But there are certain aspects of online stores and cigarette stores which you can check to limit your chances of ordering from an unreliable source.
Normally the more reliable sites will disclose to allot of or all of this information, it is although not a 100% certainty that the service they give you will be to what they say it is. Taking these precautions are vital as it could save you a great deal of aggravation if to say you ordered with a site that doesn't supply certain details. Problems that may lie ahead... You have been given no contact number or email address to follow up your order! You didn't read that processing and shipment of their cigarettes can take up to 2 months!! You have been subject to fraud, as you were not taken to a secure checkout!!! You should get the picture by now to where things can lead if you order cigarettes online with just anybody. Don't be put off completely from ordering, most cigarette stores you will find do live up to the service that state they supply you with. Its up to you though as a consumer to find out.
