I honestly had no idea. Has this always been a thing? How do I get boxes of them shipped to me but I can’t ship to a friend?
What am I missing?
I guess you don’t realize you can ship quite a few cigars in either a small, medium or large flat rate USPS box for a small fraction of the cost to ship via UPS.
Those flat rate boxes are sent priority mail with a tracking number and will reach 98.2% of CONUS addresses in 2 days.
As DED said above if you use the click and print service to print a shipping label you don’t even have to stand in line to drop it off. Just walk in and set the box on the counter, wave and say hello to the clerk then go on your merry way.
