There are lots of web sites selling very cheap cigarettes to be shipped to the UK. Has anyone ever bought any of these, and if so were they OK, and without problems with credit cards etc.. The cigarettes only cost about �10 for 200.

It's illegal.

As you are buying abroad you have very little rights if the supplier doesn't send them - your credit card company won't help you because it is illegal.
It's not strictly illegal to buy cigarettes online from overseas. It's only illegal to seek to avoid the excise duty, import duty, VAT and customs examination fee.

I did the sums for a similar post a couple of years ago. They clearly show that you can end up paying substantially more for cigarettes purchased online, compared with buying them in the UK:

go onto the travel section there is a guy saying he has to sell.
I would think twice about buying cheap cigarettes from abroad. You do not know what is in them. I ended up in hospital for 6 weeks in intensive care and swear it was the cigarettes. The girl in the bed opposite had bought what she thought was cheap vodka but was antifreeze. So be careful.
I pointed out a web site to someone once and they tried it and came back to me and told me they lost their money. It could be another dodgy web site?
if you buy only 1 carton, it's totally legal and you are not forced to pay taxes... You can even order every 2-3 days or make the orders recurring, as i do... try this one: postal-cigs.com , i'm ordering about a year from them, already.

You can ask their support online about any customs problems.
If a parcel labeled as gift, you shouldnt pay any taxes.
Whatever you do, do NOT buy cigarettes from Tabac-Pas-Cher. We paid 150 Euros for cigarettes in May and have still not received them. They have not responded to 10 different emails. BEWARE, these people appear to be crooks.
http://www.discount.cigarettes-cigars.com ships to UK, the customer must be at least 18 years old to be eligible to buy tobacco or cigarettes. The cigarettes on sale at discount.cigarettes-cigars are for personal use only, reselling the products may be a criminal offense.
According to the legislation of each country, there are some articles that stipulate how many cartons people are allowed to buy from abroad. Providing cigarettes online is not illegal, another thing is how many cartons are you allowed to buy online? I know that me and my friends are pleased with the products you can find on http://brand.cheapcigs.eu. Here all the cigarette and tobacco products are cheap and fresh, of a high quality , once you place an order there, I assure you that you will return to order once again !!!
its is entirley legal to buy for personal consumption. I buy mine from www.smokersplayground.com and have vever had a problem. My order arrives usually in about 3 days!!

Cigarettes in the UK there are very expensive because of the taxes. But online shopping this is the law, as it have already
said. Cigarettes are made in Eastern countries are no such the tax. Quality? Manufacturers strictly control the quality. And the
big plus added that these cigarettes dont have antifire additives. That prices're a normal. For example at
http://www.ladies-smoking.com/cigarettes/: Marlboro Red - 28.97 EURO per carton for Great British or 26.20 USD for US. Isnt bad?
