1. General Shipping Notice
AmberLeafShop provides shipping support for selected tobacco-related products intended for adult buyers only.
Products may include Amber Leaf Original 50g, Amber Leaf 5×50g and 10×50g box options, Golden Virginia, Lambert & Butler, Richmond, and other selected products depending on current availability.
Shipping availability depends on product type, stock status, destination country, parcel quantity, courier restrictions, customs rules, payment confirmation, and current logistics conditions.
AmberLeafShop does not guarantee that every product can be shipped to every country or region.
2. Destination Confirmation Before Shipping
Before an order is processed, AmberLeafShop may review the destination and shipping route.
Customers may be asked to confirm:
- Destination country
- Full delivery address
- Phone number or WhatsApp number
- Product name
- Quantity
- Preferred shipping method
- Preferred payment method
- Packaging request, if any
Some destinations may not be available due to customs rules, tobacco restrictions, courier limitations, route suspension, destination risk, or legal requirements.
If the destination cannot be served, the order may be cancelled and refunded where applicable.
3. Available Shipping Methods
Depending on the destination and order details, AmberLeafShop may arrange one of the following shipping methods:
- Courier delivery

Order processing may include:

Processing time is not the same as delivery time.
Processing may take longer during high-demand periods, public holidays, stock checks, payment review, destination review, packaging confirmation, or logistics route changes.
5. Delivery Time
Delivery time depends on the destination country, shipping method, customs clearance, courier handling, postal service, and current logistics conditions.
Estimated delivery time will be confirmed based on the destination and available route.
Any delivery time provided by AmberLeafShop is an estimate only and is not a guaranteed delivery date.

Once an order is dispatched, tracking information may be provided where available.
Tracking updates may take time to appear after dispatch.
Tracking delays may occur due to courier scanning delays, postal system updates, transit processing, customs checks, or route transfer between logistics providers.
If tracking information has not updated for a period of time, customers may contact us with the order number and tracking number for assistance.
7. DDP Delivery, Customs, Taxes and Duties
Where possible, AmberLeafShop usually tries to arrange DDP tax-included delivery.

If DDP is unavailable or if destination authorities require additional payment or action, the customer may be responsible for cooperating with the courier, postal operator, customs authority, or relevant service provider.
8. Customer Responsibility for Local Laws
Customers are responsible for ensuring that the products they order can be legally purchased, imported, delivered, and received in their destination country or region.
By placing an order, customers confirm that:
- They meet the legal minimum age required to purchase tobacco products.
- They are not purchasing tobacco products on behalf of a minor.

11. Address Changes After Dispatch
Customers should confirm the correct delivery address before placing an order.
Once an order has been dispatched, the delivery address usually cannot be changed.
If an address change is possible after dispatch, additional fees may apply.
AmberLeafShop is not responsible for failed delivery, return, delay, or loss caused by late address change requests or incorrect address details.

13. Returned Parcels
If a parcel is returned to sender or cannot be delivered, AmberLeafShop will review the reason for return.

- Storage fees
- Customs charges

Parcels may be delayed, inspected, held, returned, or restricted by customs authorities or destination authorities.
AmberLeafShop is not responsible for customs delays or destination authority actions beyond our control.
If a parcel is delayed, held, returned, seized, destroyed, or restricted due to destination laws, import rules, customs requirements, customer failure to cooperate, or destination restrictions, the customer may be responsible for related risks and costs.
Customers should check local laws before placing an order.
15. Lost Shipments
If a shipment appears to be lost, customers should contact AmberLeafShop with the order number and tracking number.
A parcel is not considered lost simply because tracking is delayed or transit time is longer than expected.

If the parcel is confirmed lost by the logistics provider or after reasonable review, AmberLeafShop may offer one of the following solutions:
