Important Information for Customers in Poland
DDP shipping is designed to reduce customs difficulties, but some countries may occasionally experience additional customs checks.
For customers in Poland, there is a possibility that some international shipments may require a second customs inspection.
In these situations, the parcel may face additional processing time or customs restrictions.
If this happens, please do not worry.
Contact The Vapes team, and we will help provide a solution, including:
- Checking the shipment situation
- Assisting with communication
- Arranging a replacement shipment or refund solution when applicable
Important Information for Customers on Spanish Islands
Customers located on Spanish islands should be aware that island delivery may involve additional logistics costs.
Due to longer transportation routes and special delivery conditions, courier costs for island areas are usually 2–3 times higher than standard mainland delivery.
In some cases, local courier providers may request additional delivery fees upon arrival.
At the moment, we cannot confirm whether this is caused by local island delivery policies or specific courier practices. However, such cases are uncommon and we have only received a small number of reports from island customers.
Before placing an order, customers in Spanish island areas should understand this possibility.
If you have concerns about delivery costs or your location, please contact us before ordering.
EU Warehouse or Global Warehouse Shipping?
Not sure which shipping option is right for you?
The Vapes provides both EU Warehouse Shipping and Global Warehouse Shipping options.
EU Warehouse Shipping is the better choice if you want faster delivery and a more stable local fulfilment experience.
Global Warehouse Shipping is recommended if you want more product choices, lower prices, or products that are not currently available in European warehouses.
