Don’t order from this company!

I ordered cigarettes on the 28th February 2022. The parcel has never been received.
I contacted duty free king and was told in April that it could take up to 20 weeks by the same guy as others have spoken to-Leo. It has now been over 20 weeks. There’s still no sign of the parcel which on the tracking says it’s in Uzbekistan where it has shown as being since the beginning. Now every time I try and email the site gives an error message and every time I try to use the online chat it says no one is available. You leave your email so someone can get back to you- they never do.
The cigarettes cost 119 euros. Total waste of money and like others have said, just a scam.

Parcel never received 🖕🏻

Parcel never received. F**ing Scammers. I have ordered on 17.05.2022. There was no proper tracking details of the package given by these a***les. For few months the guy named LEO gave me some lame excuses. It’s been almost 4 months now and he is not even responding to my mails. DO NOT TRUST THIS SITE PLEASE.

Please Reply!!!

So am I right in believing what you have publically stated on here, If I send you the seizure note AGAIN, plus paying another delivery charge, I will be GUARANTEED that my cigarettes will be delivered; If that is the case and you can GUARANTEE delivery, please email me with the note that GUARANTEES me this will be the case, and not just another way to scam me and so many others out of hard earned money!

The company are now not honouring their 1st order replacement as published on the web site, and not responding to any further communications. All in all an expensive mistake. Please don't do the same thing.

Disgusting thieves

It's been 10 weeks and I still haven't received my Marlboro cigarettes that I paid £109 for! There has been no update on the tracking number either since the 24th December 2021. Now that thing called 'Leo' is not responding to my emails!! Disgraceful company stealing people's money and adding fake reviews to make them look like a genuine company. Hope they rot and it hits them where it hurts most! Can't wait for the police to catch them.

Our favoirite reviewer Jacqueline. As mention in many Emails your parcel tracking is here https://parcelsapp.com/en/tracking/RQ170527009UZ and shows it is at London Heathrow. The question here is you already received it and you try to get a second one for free or it is still in transit. We have many cases of costumers try to get via bad reviews a second parcel for free. Thats a common tactic that other service provider experienced too.

Would give 0 stars if I could, Scammed me out of over €100

Would give 0 stars if I could, complete and utter scam! Ordered €125 worth of cigarettes and never recieved them despite numerous complaints to an employee named Leo via email. They gave me a tracking number that didn't work, diverted the question every time I asked how long it would be and when I told them the tracking number didn't work, I asked for a refund and they wouldn't give it and proceeded to ignore my emails when I told them I was going to report them as a scam to my bank after 8 MONTHS OF WAITING! Disgraceful people who should be ashamed of themselves

I’m overjoyed that I was able to obtain my Marlboro Touch. It’s my favourite cigarette, and I’m delighted I found it at Dutyfreeking. I’ve ordered three times from here and have had a positive overall experience. I strongly suggest it.

Well LEO what's your excuse this time?

Well LEO, Here we are on the 21st December and still no sign of my order nor a valid tracking number. All I get from LEO are lies, more lies and downright criminal actions. My request for REFUND has been ignored.I don't know who wrote all the glowing reports but I would warn anyone thinking of using these people to think twice.

I wished I checked here before ordering to know it is a scam site

Obviously, all the good reviews are from fake accounts with just a single review. the genuine reviewers tend to have multiple reviews for different companies. the genuine reviews are all negative

ordered three weeks ago and absolute silence
obviously a scam with a professionally-looking site
be careful everyone
Update1: received an email from the company :

The shipping time to Europe is at the moment between 5-8 weeks. So your order is under processing I can see. Int tracking number you going to receive after the parcel past the export customs.
In case you have written a review under the pseudonym MORRIE it is advisable to delete that and write one after you received your parcel.
For customer requests please use the email address *********, not the contact form. To many spam, mails are coming in via the contact form and is not regular monitoring.

that is a good start , to have finally a response
to two issues here
1- they say shipment 5-8 weeks but on the website to Europe 14-18 days, that is a fault promise then
2- why do you provide a contact tool (contact form on the website) if it is not monitored. How can people reach and get updates?

I am still optimistic given this company had a good track in the old-time, will keep the update

Update 2:
complete silence for three months now
yup, definitely a scam
