The ban on vape shipping is a major hit to consumers and businesses. It's important to understand how this new federal law will impact your vaping needs. Here are the main things that vape-users need to know about Bill S-1253.
Vape Shipping Restrictions
- USPS will be prohibited from delivering vape-mail to consumers, including disposable e-cigarettes.
- Vaping products will be added to the PACT ACT (Prevent All Cigarettes Trafficking Act).
- FEDEX and UPS recently announced that they will no longer be delivering vapes.
- Privately owned shipping companies are expensive and the price of e-cigarettes will increase significantly.
- Several states have already banned flavors, including New York, New Jersey, Georgia, and others.
- Adult signature is required upon delivery of any vaping products, which requires consumers to wait at home for their package
Good News - This not an all out ban on shipping vapes. Puffin will continue serving the e-cig community. That said, the vast majority of online businesses won't be able to handle the additional costs and workload associated with Bill-1253.
