First time whole leaf buyer

[Orson Carte]

Thanks for that...

Mine has been at 'customs' now for 5 days...no email so far...

I'm actually thinking of ordering a couple more pounds to see if that gets here before the first order...

It's usually about three weeks after passing through Auckland Airport before you get 'the letter'.

Well, it took a week from US to arriving in Auckland on 31st October.

Got letter on 7th November and paid the bribe (sorry, treatment fee) on 7th...

They still have it as at 15th...

I too have a box sitting there.
I would say I will have it for Christmas

C'est la vie.

C'est seulement la New Zea.

I just have patience with the process if you keep calling an nagging they will hold on to it longer and longer. As far as the tobacco goes for aging keep it in the vapour proof bags.

I'm prepared to wager that you won't see the parcel until some time shortly after November 28.
This 'wait' happens virtually every time and, believe me, jumping up and down doesn't make it happen any faster.

I am still waiting, track it every couple of days to see if there is any change, but none so far...still listed as 'held at customs', been there 21 days now...

 

[burge]

Don't worry you will get it Canada used to be like this as well right now try to take advantage of this sale.

UPDATE...

Tracking says it's on the way to me RIGHT NOW...

Some people get all the luck.

Patience is a key. I have waited a while this time will be the same with the postal strike. The sale now is the time to buy because in a lot of cases the shipping equals a point to get tobacco at cost without paying anymore for shipping. ie Canada shipping for 3lbs is about 45 bucks while 10 is 60. I almost ordered 10 lbs to get 5 free on the same but that Is a little much to get across the border.

woohoo!!! 2nd order of WLT arrived in 10 days also..im stocking up atm so that when i get a hiccup and it takes 6 weeks it wont matter lol

 

[burge]

Awesome this sale will only happen once a year.

 

[barb]

Guys i ordered 2 x virginia blends and it didnt come up with special instructions for me to add 1 free of american bold..how can i get them to add my sale item to the order?

 

[barb]

sent them email..hopefully its in time for them to add my free one.

 

[burge]

Don is good that way. I ordered 8lbs tobacco never goes bad.

 

[Orson Carte]

sent them email..hopefully its in time for them to add my free one.

I couldn't get it to work either. So, gave up on Black Friday.

 

[JennyLeez]

I have placed my order
I just added my username and what free ones I would like under 'Delivery Note' on the left at the bottom.

This Black Friday is very cool. We did not use to have it in New Zealand but in the last few years it really has taken off.
I have my eye on a new fridge at present at Noel Lemming. I now just have to convince you know who what a great idea saving $740 is without him noticing the price....lol
