Bad Shipping problem

Bad Shipping problem, Waiting for a return currently, But the issue is 48 hrs after order it was picked for fulfillment,then says shipped with Tracking info But Nobody dropped it off at the Shipping Location Obviously because 72hrs later USPS Tracking says still waiting for the package, but label was created 2days prior customer service dept. Seems to be OK though

i placed 2 oders during my stay in dubai as its my second home i used my uae bank card so they cancelled my order since shipping address is kazakhstan.

anyhow now im in kazakhstan and i write to customer service; im ready to use my local bank card and local address to avoid cancellation. and tobaccopipes reply was about “fraudulent transactions” which i find disrespectful and extremely unprofessional.

just bought the same cigars with montefortuna, even better price.

Exceptionally flaky business!

I placed an order. A few days later it was cancelled with no explanation at all. Said "refunded" but has not been credited to my card.

Hello, Patrick. We're sorry you've had a frustrating experience.
I see you were ordering from a state we are not permitted to ship tobacco to. Checking the timeline of your order, it was placed on the 25th, and we sent you an email the following day explaining why we were holding the order. These messages can sometimes go to spam, so you may have missed this, but when we didn't hear back, the order was cancelled and a refunded was submitted on Aug 28. It usually takes 24-36 hours for the refund to show in the account, but this can vary depending on the bank. I assume it showed in your account within a day of your review.

Good costumer service, grate tobacco

This is the only place I will get my tobacco from. I always get my orders when expected and have never had a problem with quality.

Hello Seth, very sorry to hear your order didn't arrive. We sent a request for more information but haven't heard from you, and cannot identify your order and what the problem might be. We hope you will reach out and we can fix this.

I should of paid attention to the reviews!

Had the same issue as just about everyone else. Made my order, they immediately took the money, it stayed in "awaiting fulfilment" for over a week. I messaged them stating my concern and how long it usually takes to fulfill. They of course messaged stating it is in hold due to age verification. How am I supposed to know that if they've never said anything about that? I had to reach out. So, they wanted a picture of my ID showing my name and date of birth.(Im in the 30's) Did that (even though it felt sketchy and probably was), then after another few days, they refunded my money with no explanation. I'm just thankful I got my money back. I don't understand how others get orders from this site, unless it's all fake. I would pay attention to all the negative reviews from this site.
*Update* They left a message on my phone apologizing, something went wrong with the e-mail that I sent verifying my age. The Woman said she took care of everything and updated my information and that they shipped my items, hoping that they can regain my trust. I checked the site and it says shipped, $0.00. So if the package actually arrives, I will give them another go.* Fingers crossed that this WAS just a mistake and that there actually is an excellent customer service, because she sounded sincere and really nice.

Tobacco order came in late and missing items

Tobacco order came in, and it was missing half the order.
Spoke to the lady in sales and they said they'd get the order shipped out and on the way.

I finally after a few weeks of waiting have my tobacco.
I gave them a 2.

I wish I could give them a zero

I wish I could give them a zero. I ordered my pipe tobacco on October 10. They took the money and I have not received my pipe tobacco.
I have repeatedly tried to contact them by email and phoned. Absolutely no response.
My order number is 406800

We're very sorry you had this experience. This order was placed Oct 3rd. When we receive an order from a new customer we must reach out and verify age before we can ship, we wait at least 6 days to hear back before cancelling and refunding. Our customer service rep wrote the email given with this order on Oct 3rd and 5th, the order was cancelled and fully refunded on Oct 9th. Our customer service rep answers phones and emails between 8am-4pm Mon-Fri, I'm not sure how we missed each others communications, but do apologize for the inconvenience.

beware they are scammers

beware they are scammers...... They take your money but do not send cigarettes. Come to find out it is illegal to sell cigs to the USA because of tax evasion.

We regret that your experience left you feeling this way. We are unsure on why you feel we scammed you, but we certainly do not wish to scam anyone and do our best to run TobaccoPipes.com with fairness and integrity toward our customers. Please consider reaching out with more information so we may hopefully remedy the situation. 

(update in response to your updated review)

It sounds like there has been a misunderstanding somewhere. We do not sell manufactured cigarettes. We do sell Roll Your Own supplies (loose RYO tobacco, cigarette tubes, rolling machines). There are select states to which we cannot send tobacco, which we abide by. If we receive an order from one such state with an item we are not permitted to sell, we reach out via email. If there has been no response after 3 days, we cancel the order, prompting an automatic refund. If this is in some way contrary to your experience, please get in touch. Without a means of identifying your order, it is difficult to assess where the issue lies.

It my also be the case that you have us confused with TobaccoPie (this is TobaccoPipes) which has happened before.

Do NOT trust to get your product!!

Do NOT trust to get your product!!! **update to follow** for end result.

Like so many other reviews here, Tobaccopipes.com has failed to deliver AGAIN!

I have just sent an email to offer them to change this practice, of not accepting responsibility after full payment received. And i will update accordingly, with their reply within 48hrs.

I placed my order and after 3+ weeks, it is in another country! SWITZERLAND!!! And again, no refund because they aren't responsible for shipping! They provide the shipping meathod of ONLY USPS, they do not allow other shippers, they wash their hands of the product the second the payment is posted to their account!

Please, take the lesson from so many here. Do not order from this company!

Update as promised:

They stick to their guns and highlight a "policy" that you cannot easily find on their site prior to checkout! This policy states (in short) "purchase at your own risk. Tobacco pipes .com is NOT responsible for shipping, as we cannot know the laws and policies of international borders.)

Again, this policy is not highlighted at checkout. Nor is there any other shipping method aside of USPS. As well, there is no warning of possible quantity issues while checking out. But they are aware of such limits. Because they stated in their reply email, that they post accurate content quantity on packaging. And this is good! But it also shows that they do have knowledge of border requirements while shipping international.

They just don't care if you get the package after you've paid. And all of their actions prove this to be true, with several experiences from clients.

Take care of yourselves

We are sorry you had this experience—international orders can be unpredictable. We are assuming you didn’t check with your import rules and laws prior to ordering. It’s never our intention to hide our policy on international shipping, it is standard in our field and can be found on our website in both our FAQ and Shipping Policy pages. It’s not that we are unaware that there are border requirements, we simply cannot be/keep aware of the specifics of every country and locality. So, we ask that international customers be aware of their local laws and customs and the risk they assume when ordering. We certainly want nothing more than for you to get your package after ordering, but we have no control over what route the order takes or how customs will deal with it.

Wish I saw these reviews before I…

Wish I saw these reviews before I ordered from these scum bags. Package sitting at distribution center and they require sender to make an inquiry. The guys at tobacco pipes can't even be bothered to make a phone call for an inquiry. My order was over 300$. These guys are the lowest of low. You just take people's money and could care less. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SITE. 56% 1 star reviews says everything you need to know. Pathetic.

Hi, I’m sorry you had this experience with us. I’m assuming you are outside of the USA and didn’t check the local laws or importing rules for tobacco. With tobacco, it is very challenging to get shipments sometimes. This is the first I’ve heard of us having to make a call for inquiry on a package. Sorry again for the troubles.

We very much regret that your experience with TobaccoPipes.com has left such a negative impression. We try to be forthright and fair in doing business. 
I’m afraid I’m not sure what you mean by “spammers”. Though we send emails a few times a week highlighting sales, new releases, etc. we certainly don’t wish to be excessive, and one can always unsubscribe. If you would like to reach out and clarify the situation, we would like to resolve this.

Purchased 2 units of Zippo Crackle 1941.
The service has been great, questions answered within 2 days and dispatching is fast. Could not give 5 stars because i am disappointed upon receiving a regular inserts which are not the for replica's 1941. They told me their inserts are all the same.

Calvin, we're very happy that you had a positive experience with our service, but do regret any misrepresentation of a product—never intentional but mistakes happen and we would like them as close to 0 as possible—or if we may have mistakenly shipped the wrong insert. Please feel free if you haven't already to reach out and perhaps we can find a solution.

We are sorry to hear that your experience was poor and sincerely hope your package did arrive. We did ship your order the day we received it, then it was in the hands of the carrier. The $40+ you paid was a transaction between yourself and the carrier for expedited delivery. But we do apologize for your negative customer service experience and welcome you to reach out with how you felt they had been dishonest.

SHIPPING DELAY + WRONG PIPE IN LABELED BOX

See title of review. Received shipping notice but PO didn't receive item until 4 days later. I ordered a Bones Bent Billard but received a straight pipe in a bent billard box. I should have read other reviews before ordering from this company.

We apologize for this negative experience. Though we can usually expect deliveries to be timely, we cannot control if a complication delays once it is out our door. Checking your order, I see we did ship your package less than 4 hours from receiving your order. 
As for receiving the wrong item, we are sorry and take full responsibility. We try to be thorough, but some human error is inevitable. Nonetheless, we strive to eliminate it where we can and correct such mistakes when they happen. It is our policy in these circumstances to pay for the return and offer a full refund or a replacement if the intended item is in stock. I see you opted to keep the pipe, and hope it has done you well, though I am sorry it was not the one you initially chose.

Still the item has not been received

Purchased the items last summer in 2020 and since June 2020 till this moment the shipping tracking number indicates that the item is still in Miami Florida International Distribution Center. Still the item has not been received, seller refused to refund my payment and asked me to check the store shipping policy! That is all!!! So I guess check the shipping policy before buying.

We regret that this happened, it brings us no joy that international shipping can be the gamble it is especially with tobacco. Our shipping policy is posted twice on our site and is standard for international shipping in our field. We strongly encourage anyone wishing to place an order with us to review these terms, as it’s never our intention to have one order without being fully aware of the assumed risk.
