Sold an enail which stopped working in less than a year and hasn’t responded to any email sent. Ever, even when asked why they sent to my country and back to china taking another two weeks to deliver.... See more

THIS IS NOT A US BASED COMPANY, SHIPPING COMES FROM CHINA. When you try to call the “California Office” with their CA phone number listed, it redirects to Hong Kong; credit card was also charged to a... See more

I’ve bought from Puffing Bird a few times before. Checkout was so much more difficult this time. Wouldn’t send to the correct address and take any card online. Had to end up sending elsewhere then it... See more

The most important thing to note is that all orders come from Hong Kong. They use a dodgy looking tracking website and don’t give very ample communication during the order process which was horrendous... See more

They don’t give you the option to…

They don’t give you the option to choose what size heating coil comes with the controller. I chose a 14mm male banger that is supposed to fit in a 20mm coil which I got. I also received a 14mm male banger that fits in a 25mm coil. This controller came with a 25mm coil and all my bangers at home are for a 20mm coil. Not that big of a deal but I didn’t have a choice on coil size.

Absolutely atrocious

Absolutely atrocious! I ordered an enail kit from them and got something completely different from what was pictured and it did not include half of the stuff that was pictured. The banger was the wrong size for the coil, there was no carrying case, the controller unit is completely different, the whole thing. So when I emailed to ask why and what they would do about it, they took weeks to respond, then told me they would send a silicone jar and new banger, but nothing else. After waiting for more then two weeks to hear if it has been shipped, I have heard nothing back and they are no longer responding. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Scam website

Scam website. They didn’t send what we ordered or even close. They didn’t respond to emails or phone calls. They are scamming ppl. When you place orders it’s not a mystery box. What they sent was discontinued items that went worth $15 when I paid $80. Then they had the nerve to ask me to review what I had ordered and never gotten.

Don’t Buy From Puffing Bird CA

I had placed an order in 2021-22
Can’t remember but it was cancelled by them with no reason? I had forgotten about that or I would have not ordered from them again!!! I placed an order on Jan23/2023 and have yet to get a tracking confirmation number as of February 2nd 2023. FYI the same day I placed 4 orders from other companies two in the USA two in Canada and have received all my orders!!
I have emailed puffing Bird twice with no response!! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THE PUFFING BIRD I THINK THEY Are TAKING PEOPLES’ money and investing it for a month or so before they fill your order??

You still haven't sent my order.

You still haven't sent me what I ordered. I ordered an enail kit bundled with a pink dab rig. All you sent me was the glass. Where is my enail? Why aren't you answering my emails or phone calls?

Not local company - misleading - the address should really be puffingbird.hk.

I ordered 2 vape batteries from PuffingBird.CA “Best online smokeshop IN CANADA”, thinking that it was a Canadian store/site. DO NOT fall for this — this turned out to be incredibly misleading because it’s a company shipping internationally out of Hong Kong. This isn’t obvious on their website, and you already have to know about this, or have to really search for it. Since batteries are so difficult to import/export with no guarantees, the only requirement I set when buying 510 batteries was that it HAS TO be from a Canadian based company, to receive the product quickly/without any customs difficultly. Just now (Dec 19th), I just got a notification saying that the items have been “shipped” and am still waiting, even though I placed the order on Dec 5th. Would not order again for these reasons.

To Puffingbird: ​I am seeing the SAME experiences that other customers have shared online via review websites. To retain customers, I strongly encourage you to have local shipment/fulfillment options in the countries you claim to be in, or be upfront/don't say all these countries - if you ship everything from HK anyway, the mention of countries doesn't actually seem useful/relevant other than to mislead people.
