Has anyone had any recent success with dutyfreecenter? I got stung a couple of months ago by C & E.

I dont understand, If a carton costs £9 plus shipping and its for personel use how can you get busted by those twats.... Sorry C&E?

You get charged because you don`t get a personal relief when buying tobacco products, unlike if you import a £9 dvd.

I was getting fairly regular supplies from dutyfreecentre.com but the last two packages both got confiscated. I emailed dutyfreecentre.com and the response was - you guessed it - silence!
I think C&E must have been targetting them. I could put up with losing one in four packages but two on the trot was a bit much. I would love to know how others have fared with them recently - maybe I was just unlucky.

I used dutyfreecenter ... 1st packet arrived OK, 2nd was stopped by C&E

Just ignored their little card telling me I could have my package if I paid £40 .. after 21 days it gets returned to sender ... contacted dutyfreecenter and got a refund less postage

Has anyone used www.tobaccosworld.com ? I ordered b4 seeing this post so don`t really expect to get the ciggies (tax free that is).
