Have I been scammed or am I just being paranoid?

No idea why your link takes me to 10 hours of Rick Astley on YouTube, but it made me laugh!
Never thought I’d see a rick roll in a pipe group! I’m somewhat proud of you
I got an email this afternoon, which was just a confirmation of my order which I had already received as soon as I’d ordered it. Still nothing else.
I do but my TAD is quite bad
By the way, for the OG poster, I did notice Mars Cigars still had some SPC recently. They may be out now. Not sure.
Yeah, my last order from Smokingpipes was for 5 tins and the import charges and taxes worked out about the same as you were charged. It was the first time i'd ordered pipe tobacco from the US in about 3 years and I was shocked. I'd ordered plenty in the past and the import taxes were nowhere near that level. I only paid them because 4 of the tins were C&D Carolina Red Flake.
Shipment received. All good! Well wrapped. Date inside marked 2022.

Thank you for sharing that! Very strange that I’ve had no response, just the same email again which confirmed my order. I really hope they do get back to me soon as 4noggins still have SPC but I don’t want to order until I know this is going to fall throughShipment received. All good! Well wrapped. Date inside marked 2022.
Just an update to everyone, I have had a response from them, and they said they expect to get my order dispatched by next week and sorry for the delay. If all goes well I’ll make another post with my experience as more people deserve to know about them if this is the only hiccup and I receive the parcel fine.
At least there are U.S based suppliers who are willing to 'run the blockade' to get American blends into Great Britain. Usually I get hit up to get stuff into the U.S and occasionally in the opposite direction since I travel back and forth between the 'Colonies' and the Motherland.
OK I have a quick update. One of the boxes of HH that I received I opened and found that Mac Baren or Sutliff (whoever packaged it) didn’t seal the end of the bag. The date was marked 2022, so it’s been open presumably since. No way DP would’ve known that without opening up the box.Shipment received. All good! Well wrapped. Date inside marked 2022.
I contacted customer service and they immediately sent a prepaid return label. They received it yesterday and immediately sent out a new replacement. I expect to receive that tomorrow if Postal Service does their job.
Couldn’t ask for a more efficient turnaround. Even managed to score some tins of Firebird that were not listed yet on their site.
