Is selling cigarettes over the Internet
legal?
Yes, it is. From the Sovereign Nation of The Senecas.
Why can't I pay with a
credit card?
Because the government in NY State has convinced the credit card
processors that it is illegal to purchase tobacco from
Native Americans. (this is a lie) It is also the reason UPS won't
transport tobacco any more. In
other words, what can "BROWN
" do for you? Nothing!
Is smoking bad for your
health? Yes, it is. We make no claims to your health
if you smoke. The Surgeon General's warnings are available
everywhere. If you stop consuming tobacco products - it will be
beneficial to your health. There are also countless websites and
organizations to help you stop using tobacco. But we also acknowledge
you are an adult and can make your own decisions about your health and
how to spend your money, unlike the credit card companies that decide
how you can spend your money. Kiddieporn? sure - tobacco?? NO WAY
(according to the major credit card companies)
Where
is my package?
We make every attempt to ship your
package within 1-3 business days after order is placed (repeat customers
only) and our shipping department will email you the shipment number so
you may follow it's progression through the postal service. Please track your packages online at
usps.com. However, this is not
always accurate as packages have been known to arrive at their
destination without a single updated scan from the postal system.
Priority Mail is NOT a guaranteed delivery service. They "say" 2-3 days
is their normal delivery time, but some packages take up to 2 weeks to
arrive! Also, please remember the
federal holidays slow up the mail service, as does the bad weather.
Is all your information
kept confidential?
Yes. We do not sell our
client list to anyone, at any price. And we do not give customer
information to any other organization for
any reason.
Are all Federal excise taxes paid on products you sell?
Yes.
It is up to the individual consumer to contact the state in which you
live to see if you owe state tobacco tax. We also pay the Seneca Nation
of Indians an export tax, as all transactions take place on Seneca
Territory.
Is there a minimum order
requirement?
Yes. We have a minimum order
requirement of 4 cartons.
Why are the prices going up so fast?
? The tobacco trade is touch and go right
now. The manufacturers are change their prices
sometimes daily. We apologize and assure you it is not our decision. Also,
you may have to wait longer than usual to get your shipment as many
brands are out of stock due to distributors shortages.
Why aren't you answering your phone
today?
? If you are a regular customer and know
what you want to order, leave a message and you will get your order. Our
phones have rang nonstop for 2 days and we are not able to answer every
call. We apologize to all our loyal customers, but we are doing the best
we can under the circumstances. Thank you for your patience.
Also, you MUST leave your
full name
(i.e. "this is Susie in Smallville, call me" (?) ( yes- people leave
ambiguous messages like that - - we probably have more than one
Susie and need to know which one you are!) and phone number if you must
have a return phone call and we will call you back as soon as possible.
Please do not call 75 times thinking that will help get us to answer
your call. It will only delay your order.
Are the prices going up again?
We wish we could tell you. The information we have is they may - or may
not. The tobacco trade
is touch and go right now. The manufacturers and distributors are changing their prices
almost daily. We apologize and assure you it is not our decision. Also,
you may have to wait longer than usual to get your shipment as many
brands are out of stock due to distributors' shortages. You also may not
get box or soft pack as specified in your order. It is our discretion to
ship what we have available. If you
absolutely
want to wait until your choice comes in stock, please specify that in
the customer comments section of your order.
Why can't I get my order shipped like usual? Or why are the premium brands out of stock?
? The tobacco trade is touch and go right now. Some brands are
out of stock for weeks at a time.
What are
your office hours? Online ordering is
always available, every day, all year! We are usually in the office
between 9 and 5 pm eastern time Monday thru Friday. If you get our
answering machine, leave a short message and we WILL call you back as
soon as we can.
What is an e-check?
It is an electronic method of withdrawing your payment out of your
checking account. It is completely secure and saves you from having to
write a check and mail it to us.
I'm a new customer but
paying with a personal check, why don't you ship my order right away?
Because you are a new customer. As soon as we establish a regular
business relationship with you, your orders will be sent the next
one or two business days after receiving your check. But your first order will not
ship for a week or 10 days until the check clears.
Do you have a list of
satisfied customers or some testimonials?
YES! Not to brag - but there are too many to list here. We are
always getting compliments on our great service. For
example, Michele J. wrote us to say our customer service is outstanding.
Or Leslie B. says we are the BEST! Or Jim M says the owner is a
sweetheart! Give us a try - you will be rewarded with out great service
and low prices with prompt shipping also!
What is your policy if my
box disappears in the postal system?
If your box is insured, we will file the claim, or send you the
information and you can file the claim yourself, and get the
reimbursement. Either way, this means you will have to pay up front
for a replacement box. After the post office pays on the insurance
claim, we will reimburse you. If you file the claim yourself, you will
get paid from the post office. I apologize for this change, but there
have been an excessive amount of claims this year and the post office is
very slow to pay on claims. The last few I filed with
them, took over six (yes - 6) months to pay. We suggest you pay an extra
$2.00 to have your box sent signature required, so the mailman won't
just drop your box at the door.
What does the
name Crazy Wolf mean, and who are you? This
is derived because we are part of the Wolf Clan of the Seneca Nation,
and proud of it! Need more info? Click on the About US
Button! Need more info about the Seneca Nation? Go to
www.sni.org.
Does the Crazy Wolf Smoke
Shop sell online to outside the USA customers? (internationally)
No, we don't.
We only sell to consumers in the United
States.
Does Crazy Wolf Smoke Shop take coupons? No, we do not accept
coupons.
When is the best time to call?
Click here and you can email us!
Emailing us at
crazywolf-smokes@verizon.net
gets the quickest response. Phones will be answered during office hours
when possible, or leave a message and we WILL
call you back!
But only if you leave a message we can understand with your full name
and phone number! Also - please note, our office hours are the times
when the phones are usually answered. )
How long have you been in
business and how do I know you will not take my money and not ship my
items? We have had a successful running
business for over seven (7) years now. As with all internet
transactions, we understand the risk and uncertainty some people fear.
You may rest assured we are not in the business of stealing, we are in
the business of providing tobacco products at the lowest possible prices
with the BEST customer service. Does the Crazy
Wolf Smoke Shop have catalogs upon request?
No, we do not
have catalogs to send out. (some prices change daily!) Why does your website
say premium and midlevel brands coming soon? We are in the
process of updating our website. They are now
available so call to make an order if they are not listed here at this
time!
What is this weird box
my shipment came in? It is because we are recycling boxes that
come into our office. So you may see your order arrive in a recycled box,
or a frozen chicken box or whatever there is to recycle before we
purchase and use new boxes. These new boxes are using up our natural
resources, and recycling stops that cycle. You may rest assured your
order will be sent in secure, well taped boxes so your orders arrive to
you in the best condition possible.
Do you recycle and are
you earth friendly? Yes. Like most Native
Americans, we realize the earth is our gift from the Creator, who to me
is God. Therefore, taking care of it is my responsibility and I recycle
everything I can. And I shred every bit of paperwork that leaves my
business. Can I
visit your store and make purchases there? No.
Why isn't my order being
processed immediately and/or shipped immediately?
We review each new order with the utmost scrutiny. On occasion our
bookkeeping department or legal department rejects new orders for
various reasons, mostly suspicion of fraud or attempts to purchase using
a stolen identity. We realize most customers are honest, but the few bad
apples that try to rip us off have made us extremely careful to not get
ripped off again.
Can I get a discount on
my order?
No - don't ask. We already have the lowest possible prices!
Can I send you a post
dated check?
No - don't ask. You send a check = we will cash it upon receipt. If you
don't have the money, don't mail the check until you do! By the
way, if your check bounces, or the electronic check is returned for any
reason, you will owe the Crazy Wolf $30 returned check fee. Why
did your prices go up? This is mostly
from manufacturer increases.
Is there a deadline for the
day's orders?
Yes there is - Usually, if you make your order online by 3:00 pm EST
(Monday-Friday), under normal circumstances (and for regular customers
only), it will ship the following one - two
business days. There are rare exceptions however, such as holidays, bad
weather or computer malfunction. New customers = see next
question/answer.
When will I get my order?
It depends on if you are a new customer or not. Regular (established)
customers receive 48-61 hour shipments. (1 to 3 business days) New customers that send in money
orders with a copy of an ID get 5 days to shipment, payment via personal
check is 5 - 10 days, and electronic check first time customers may take up
to 2 weeks before you get your first order. This is for the 1st order only -
just to make sure the electronic transaction is complete or the funds
clear the bank. Future orders
will be shipped within 1 - 2 business days from the time of order.
Does Crazy Wolf Smoke
Shop make refunds? Only if there was an error made by us in your order
being filled. We only accept unopened products back. We will refund your
shipping charges to send the box back to us.
This is for our errors
only!!
If you order the wrong
item by mistake, we can not give you a refund. (But talk to us, we will
try to make it right with you some way.)
Is Your Answer Here? If Not,
you may click here to contact us
and zap us
an email and we will get back to you very
soon!
We reserve the right to
refuse service to anyone we deem of questionable age or reliability!
