Shipping
Naturally, with a fine perishable item like a premium cigar, the faster it can be shipped from our climate-controlled humidor to yours, the better. This is why we have chosen UPS as our designated carrier. Delivery schedules are based on business days. In other words, unless special shipping instructions have been arranged, pickups and/or deliveries will not be made on weekends or holidays.
All web site orders placed before 2:00 PM ET (Mon-Fri only) will ship the same day, pending credit card approval. When shipping delays occur, however, we will post a message on our home page advising when your package(s) will be shipped. If you choose Deluxe 2 Day service to deliver your package(s), you can expect a delivery schedule like the one below for orders, placed before cutoff time (2:00 PM, ET.), for that day.
UPS will NOT deliver your package unless someone is available to sign for it.
You can override this, if necessary, by contacting our Customer Service Department and requesting a signature waiver form. We will send you a document which you MUST sign and return to us. Upon receipt of the signed waiver, we will notify UPS that you authorize them to leave your packages WITHOUT a signature. We will keep this waiver on file, for future reference.
You can download load the signature waiver form here.PLEASE NOTE: Even with this signed waiver, UPS reserves the right to refuse dropping off (without a signature) any packages suspected of containing tobacco products, if being delivered to a residence.

Famous Smoke Shop requires a "shipping" address, which is not necessarily the same as the "billing" address. Upon registration, the shipping address is automatically defaulted to the billing address. You may add a separate shipping address thereafter. When a billing address is updated, its corresponding shipping address will be automatically updated as well. All other shipping addresses and preferences will remain unchanged.
IMPORTANT: In order to protect ourselves and our customers from fraud, ALL FIRST ORDERS must be shipped to the billing address corresponding with the payment method used. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE TO THIS POLICY.
