    US Warehouse to UK - Maximum items in a package 5

    On the 10th I had 6 cans of pioneer dispatched in one package. Now it’s saying the maximum items for this delivery service is 5. If I order 6 like last time, my order will is split into 2 packages. I wonder why they did that? And the postage price has gone up by about a quid, that sucks.

    I don't know for sure, but it's likely to protect you from seizure. Order in increments of 5 if you really need to order from the USA.

        Lol, remember when it was Americans bitching about how hard it is to order tobacco and the Europeans were able to order whatever they desired?

            You were complaining about not being able to get Lucky Strike and what not, we were complaining about having to pay twice as much as you due to taxes. It was never good in Europe, but it has certainly been much better.

              I'm starting to think that I'll never get to try Pioneer unless I get a gig in Laos!

              My $25 seems like a write-off from my recent order with the US branch of Northerner.

              I think there has definitely been some kind of tightening of the UK customs with regard to tobacco from the US - which makes ordering from Northerner's US warehouse as secure as lending a tramp your bottle of vodka and expecting it back when you want to make a screwdriver!

              Sometimes wrong and sometimes right .... but ALWAYS certain!!!

                How many cans of Pioneer did you order mate ? My order was 6, dispatched two weeks ago tomorrow (Monday 23rd), I'm going to be a bit pissed if i don't get it because UK customs have moved the goalposts. Can we not still bring 3kilo into the UK?
