Quote:
WASHINGTON — To comply with legislation passed by Congress and signed into law by the President, cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products will be subject to new mailing regulations effective June 29, 2010. The law, Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act, Public Law No. 111-154, was signed into law March 31.

With only a few limited exceptions, the Postal Service will no longer be allowed to accept or transport packages containing cigarettes or smokeless tobacco products. The general mailability ban will extend to cigarettes, roll-your-own tobacco and smokeless tobacco. The prohibition does not include cigars.

No Cigars but would not be surprised if they were added on in the near future.

Wonder if it will ultimately effect UPS, Fed-X, Etc...

Yeah, email has already taken out a huge chunk of business for them, limiting their market further is just plain old good sense.



Get your USPS collectibles now, before they go out of business, you will make millions in the hipster market when "old skool USPS" stuff is rare.

I'm guessing (hoping?) that "roll your own" doesn't include pipe tobacco?

I don't get it. The USPS is always whining that they are losing money. Now they are adding more stuff you can't ship

I have started buying my Single Malt online, actually comes from New York @ about 30% savings after shipping. Wonder how long that will last before the screw it up.

Now that we all know it doesn't include cigars does someone want to let the postal workers know? Spent 45 min in post office today while they goat a supervisor to decide if they would accept my package for the n.s.t.

So much for the USPS not being part of the govt! Not that I ever believed their denials anyway.

But would it ever become a conflict of interest with Cigar smokers. There are so many websites that rely on the internet buisness, a huge lawsuit can come out of this issue if UPS targets Cigars, and IMHO I dont really believe that UPS would advance it to court, it would be too costly

Why did you tell them what is in it? Have everything packaged and take it in....I've never been asked what is in there...just "Is there anything liquid, hazardous, or perishable?"
