Where can I buy cheap cigarettes online in the U.K?

[JonnyBoy12]

I have just taken up occasional smoking but only socially, and really need to know where you can buy cheap fags online. There used to be loads of stores which sold them but as I recall they charged about £30 for delivery which seems far too much to me.

Can any of you smokers (or non-smokers) tell me where I can order cheap cigarettes online for my friends as a lot of them are smokers and I am trying to save them some hard earned cash?

Thanks in advance for any kind and helpful replies.

Simple advice-

From HMRC's website:

"Is it legal to buy tobacco over the internet from another European Community country?

Yes, but ONLY if the UK VAT and excise duty is paid on the goods. The person who sells the goods must make arrangements for these taxes to be paid before they are sent to you. If you are a customer, it is in your interests to ensure this has been done, otherwise the goods are liable to forfeiture by Customs at the postal depot".

So then they don't come cheap.

East lancashire, most corner shops, but do not be at all surprised if what is described as Benson and hedges is actually woodchip, burnt sofas and mud, prepared lovingly by a workforce with very interesting communicable diseases.

You can't buy cheap fags online or anywhere else. Cheapest way is to buy 20,000 at a time from a cash and carry . You will save around 25p a pack of 20 over the shop price.

Wouldn't they cost thousands of pounds?

[bednobs]

lol are you trying to buy friends with fags? Are you still at school?

[sandyRoe]

£8 for 20, £40 for a hundred, £400 for a thousand, £8000 for 20,000. You'd be richer giving up smoking altogether.

You could make friends with people in the South who work the ferries or maybe an airline worker. Even then 800 is the guideline to bring in from the EU.

I've had a look and the big 'cash & Carrys' are all more per pack of 20 than buying from Tesco , remember the price you see in the cash and carry is without VAT so add on 20%.

[JonnyBoy12]

No, I am not still at school and I am over the age of 18. Remember I had a birthday recently. Can anyone remember that? I will not tell you what it is.

I have just found the following site in the Internet. See the link below:

Jonny if you are intent on this, after all the advice given - then just do it and don't complain when it backfires.

If you live near any of the ferry ports you can save ~£150 on 800 cigarettes by having a day trip to Belgium. Save ~£80-£100 in France, depending on what you smoke.
You'll save more than the ferry cost as a foot passenger.

LOL, address is
Amarico SA
50th Street, Global Plaza Tower
19th Floor, Suite H
Panama City

"Since we cannot guarantee that duty tax will not be charged world-wide, in case of request for duty tax, you can:
- pay duty tax and collect the parcel.
- reject the parcel which will be returned to us and ask for your money back" - for sure

And they do not sell cigarettes only ship them. They drop ship in other words
buy at your peril, repenting isn't usually pleasurable

JonnyBoy - did you see this at the end of the link you provided?

Very important: The cigarettes on sale at Buy.Cigs-Sale.com are for personal use only. Reselling the products may be a criminal offense.

Do we really need this rubbish on AnswerBank?

( Even then 800 is the guideline to bring in from the EU. )

What happened to you must think European be European and free trade in Europe ?

Why is it rubbish?

The OP has asked a legitimate question hasn't he? The fact that it can't be done, well, not with any significant savings isn't his fault, nor does it make his question invalid.

[JonnyBoy12]

Thank you BOO. I did ask ask a valid question and have got some sensible answers. I am sorry to see that I can not really do that except if I go abroad and buy duty free there and bring it back. Can any of you tell me the legal limit for one person bringing back fags from the Continent?

I was offered some cheap cigarettes on the street about a year ago but I do not smoke and would not buy any for another person.
I do not know the full story but I saw the person being arrested a few hours later.
