Shipping Questions: Europe to US

• Why is shipping so expensive? This is something the e-stores cannot avoid. This is due to the PACT Act and requires nicotine products to be shipped via a carrier that verifies age (UPS). The stores have no control over this. There is no way around this or to avoid it.

• Are there import fees? - Most reputable stores shipping to the UPS ship DDP. This means the stores cover it. If you get a brokerage fee bill from UPS, contact the store and they usually take care of it.

• How long will it take me to get my package? It could be 8-15 days. It could be two weeks. It could be a month. This just depends on UPS. The store has no control over this.

• Why is my delivery taking so long? This is up to UPS, the stores have no control over this. Once it is out of their hands, it is up to UPS to get it to you.

• Warehouse scan? Location scan? What is this? This is normal. It's just UPS doing inventory.

• Customs clearance? What is this? Why is it taking so long? This is normal. It happens on every order. The stores have no control over this. It is a UPS thing.

• Do I have to sign for my deliveries? The PACT Act requires age verification on delivery to ensure consumers are 21 or older when they receive their package. This is US law and not up to the stores.

How do I store nicotine pouches?

Generally, if you store nicotine products in cold storage, this will extend them past their "best before" date. The general rule of thumb is if you'll use it by the expiration date, refrigerate it. If you won't use it by the expiration date, freeze it. In the freezer, using vacuum sealing helps products last even longer, if you choose to do so.
