FYI ...

You may have read in the previous post I made titled "New member .. My cigarette rant" that the last order of cigarettes I made from a company called CheapCigarettesMall based in the Ukraine has not arrived since I ordered almost 2 months ago.

Well, I finally got an email from this Eastern Europe supplier that they are suspending all cigarette operations immediatly, and are not taking anymore orders.

This will obviously effect all the off-shore internet companies that operate out of the Ukraine (and my bet is that the majority of these companies do in fact operate out of the Ukraine).

The Ukrainian government has finally cracked down on cigarette sales for out of the country delivery, and is holding "hostage" all orders going through there countries postal system (to include my order).

Anyway ... here is the email I just recieved from CheapCigarettesMall:
______________________________________

"Our company has established a reputation as a reliable and trustworthy one for many years of working with clients. We always fullfilled our obligations and did our best to satisfy every client. We have gained faith of thousands of clients all over the world. But now we are very sorry to inform you that we can not ship parcels for this period of time.

It is connectd with the fact that Authorities in our country are performing a financial and compliance audit check at the Postal Service. That is why all shipments are held at the post offices until this ends.
That is the reason why you can not place the order now. That means that we have stopped accepting orders. 
We can not tell the exact dates of resuming of the shipping, but you will be notified as soon as we know them ourselves.


We do everything possible to start working again for you and hope we will fix this problem soon.

If you can not wait till the problem is solved please contact us via online chat or you can send us e-mail [email]info@cheapcigarettesmall.com[/email] or call us (845) 228-8139. We will make full refund of your order.
 Thank you for understanding!
 Please accept our sincere apologizes for such situation".

Here is a good read about the Ukrainian cigarette "problem".

Not about what just happened with the Ukrainian postal service just reciently, but how these Ukrainian internet cigarette businesses were previously booming:
