This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Ordered cigarettes from this site. They are in China. Website seems legit enough except they want you to Western Union the Money to China. They communicate well with you via email until they get the Money then you never hear from them again. Have not received cigarettes and they ignore my requests for a Delivery date or confirmation which they state on Website they give delivery tracking info. NOT HAPPENING. BIG SCAM... MY BAD FOR TRUSTING OVERSEEES COMPANY. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID.

Stop being those "Dumb Americans!" You buy something and you have to pay by western union? Huge hige red flag! In case you didn't know you are an open customer. So you can expect a nigerian scammer next they are preparing one for you since you seem to be a "dumb american" you know the ones that respond to their emails.

I do not think this site is very good. I always buy cigarettes on another site http://buy-cigarettesonline.com/. I and all my friends for a long time buy cigarettes on the site. they accept Visa and Mastertsard. They have a very large selection of cigarettes at the lowest prices. They are the best in the internet

Thought the western union thing was a bad thing, sending 100 dollars to China with a phone # with about 15 digits which was imposable to call!

Thanks to ya'll! Just by chance I scrolled down & seen this which stopped me from making the same mistake. I was gonna place a order but was having trouble filling out the info which raised a red flag when they kept saying I had a account already but yet never ordered from them. When I couldn't find a phone number that was a second red flag. Well thanks so much from stopping me from making your mistake. Back to searching again.

I had the same issue. Don't worry, I completely disabled the ability of their website to accept any further orders. They can no longer scam anyone else. See it for yourself. Try to add a product to the cart. You can't! It is because I have damaged their website permanently. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ON THEM! I know it won't get you or my money back, but at least it is something!

I just ordered 2cartons of cigarettes, they told me on one screen that they would accept my debit card. Then on the next screen it told me that I had to wire transfer it. I emailed them to have an employee contact me, it seems extremely inconvenient to leave the house to go somewhere to wire it, what is the point of ordering online then!

call western union and give your transaction id and ask for their id and lodge a compliant agins them. put them on youtube as a scammer ask western union to block them so that they won't scam anyone. I was about to put an order when they western union I knew it its a scam.the simple rule is never send anyone money via western union if you don't really know them. thats it period .

I saw this on the news, THE SOLUTION IS SIMPLE! To resolve this scammer, place your order on their website. Next, take your previous Western Union email and forward it to them with "Ok, here is your money". The scammer goes to Western Union only to be told the WU number is not valid. They go back home and tell you "Please verify the numbers". You respond "Oh, sorry, typo". Scammer goes back to WU, and WU says again "Bad number". Back and for and back and forth. After a few of these do it again under a different email address. LET'S DRIVE THEM INSANE WITH TRIPS TO WU WITH NO MONEY! If they are flooded with bad WU numbers they will eventually go insane, especially if some non-bogus ones get buried in the flood and therefore money isn't ever claimed.

Thats a good idea, I'm gonna do it. I remember years ago people would do a similar thing with Nigerian 419 scammers, you should look online about it on a site called 419eater.com, some of them are pretty funny with how much time & money they could get the scammers to waste, the stories are hilarious.

I almost ordered from them too, I even almost posted on my FB account to tell my friends & family that smoke about how good the prices are, but I figured I should research them first & that when I saw this, I figured something was up when they dont take credit or debit cards as payment. Years ago I use to buy my cig cartons online from overseas & had no issues, but eventually the website stopped selling to US customers.

I am very worried. I "confirmed my order". No I haven't paid because I red flags went off when it wouldn't let me pay with a debit card or PayPal and wanted me to wire the money or western union it. I hope they dont somehow take from me. I am so glad I didn't make a $290 mistake. Thanks everyone for letting people know the truth! I'm just glad I looked before going through with this transaction.

Purchased cigs from usa cigarettes three weeks ago. I haven't received my purchase yet. I emailed usa cigarettes and almost two weeks and no response. SCAM in my opinion. $37 down the drain. Their live chat is non functional with no response to emails.

they looked to have such great prices. I even almost posted on my FB account to tell my friends & family that smoke about how good the prices are, but I figured I should research them first & that when I saw this. I get my cigarettes at ciggiecity.us.They come with a tracking number. I pay by bitcoin, but they do offer moneypak as a way to pay as well. They only take 3 days to arrive here in New York. I have been using them for quite a while.

Hey like you I too found ciggiecity.us and started using them after almost falling to fraud to usa-cigarettes.com. I have used them for over a month now, and pay by moneypak. I live in Vermont, and although are cigarette prices are not as high as New York they are some of the highest in the country. They take about three days to get to me as well. I am glad that I found another consumer of ciggiecity.us, although there are quite a few of us out there.

Ashley, that's the weak mentality that gets people scammed in the first place. Its your Actions that get you scammed, not some ominous other-worldly force. They can't "somehow take it from you" like a magician. It's your actions that determine whether you get scammed or not.

There's a reason that there's an old cliche saying of, "it's impossible to scam an honest man"

Watch ScamSchool/TheModernRogue 's video on Nigerian scammers if it's not self-evident what that means.

Same garbage I'm going through! Out 119 bucks. I was nervous about doing it but my dumbness was like "how could this website still be up if it's a fraud?" Yup, shoulda trusted my gut. Now after harrassing them they deleted my whole account! Well, I screenshot everything and have all my info and reported them as fraudsters on Western Union's website and filled a complaint through FTC so even if I don't get my money back hopefully I can help at least stop them. Absolute BS. I mean technically speaking smokers blow every dollar they spend on cigarettes but still would like to literally blow it lol.

Why can I not find ANY sites that are in the USA to buy cigarettes online from? This is ridiculous that I have to take a risk going overseas to buy AMERICAN cigarettes! Anyone have any American online stores that deliver? My local store can not seem to get the idea of supply and demand in control. It's been 3 weeks now and I'm having to piece meal packs together from several different stores. I live in a pretty remote rural area... HEEELLLP!

I just started ordering but something told me to read the reviews and I'm glad I did.

I sent them a message telling that they were conducting an illegal operation in the United States. I told them that I was going to report them.

Then I look up reports...going back to 2015! They have been warned by the federal government and not a thing has happened.

My next stop? President Trump. He hates China's unfair trade rules, and I sure he will hate China blatantly ripping off the American public.

Feel free to do the same and we can all get giggles from the upcoming Tweets!

This is exactly why I only order from cigszone.com, I almost fell for this company but the western union thing threw me off. I understand having to pay by bitcoin but not western union. cigszone.com has been a godsend to me, cigarettes on this site are only 50 dollars a carton and they got free shipping. They are also located here in the United States. Thank you guys for saving me a ton of money, Now i will only use cigszone.com
