Get informed on how to pack e-cigarettes for shipping.
As with any electronic device, following the laws on shipping items with batteries and choosing the most reliable courier service are central to ensuring that your precious vapes are safely delivered to your destination of choice. However, choosing the right packaging materials and knowing exactly how to pack e-cigarettes for shipping are equally as important.
However, before you start packing and book the service, make sure you do the following:
Can I send e-cigarettes in the mail?
Always make sure that you check the national guidelines for shipping items with batteries inside and that you understand the rules and policies of the courier companies that you book the shipping with. If you are not sure about the rules that apply in your specific case, you can contact our logistics specialists who will make sure you have the right information.
Can I ship e-liquid internationally?
The answer to the question of whether or not one can ship e-liquid internationally depends on several factors, especially as the nicotine strength of e-juice varies quite a lot. As each country has its own regulations regarding the import of tobacco products (based on the nicotine strength), it is important that you always check the shipping laws in the pick-up and delivery countries before you decide to pack and ship e-cigarettes. In some cases, special documents or licenses may be needed to transport nicotine products over the border, especially in case of bigger quantities. However, those that send nicotine-free e-liquids are highly unlikely to encounter any problems during the shipping process.
If in doubt whether shipping vape juice is possible on your chosen transport route, you can always contact our customer support specialists, who will be able to give the most precise information.

If you plan to ship e-cigarettes via courier services, proper packaging is crucial in ensuring that the items are delivered undamaged and in time. This is why you need to choose the right materials and follow our e-cigarette packaging tips to a T. To do so, you need the following:
We strongly advise keeping the original box of your e-cigarette as you might need to transport it at some point in the future. As this box is tailor-made for your model of the e-cigarette, it can offer the best protection during transit. It should also be noted that the insurance is only valid in case the shipped electronic item is packed in its original box.
If you are about to send an older model or if you simply cannot find the original box, you can use a box of similar dimensions and shape. While this is not advisable, a generous amount of bubble wrap and careful packaging can still get you very far.
If you have problems with buying these items, check out our dedicated blog article, in which we explain how to get packaging materials in most EU-countries.
Now that you have the right materials and tools for the job, you can finally focus on the most important part of the task, namely that of packing your precious vape.
Even though such events are highly unlikely, electronic items with lithium ion batteries can, under the right conditions, catch fire or even explode. For this reason, it is crucial to leave the batteries inside the product and make sure that it cannot be turned on by accident. To do this, always pack the e-cigarette in such a way that the power switch is properly protected.
We recommend you to keep the original invoice of your e-cigarette, especially if you intend to ship it in the future. The invoice serves as a proof of its value and is, therefore, a document that the courier companies normally require if you start a claim procedure following your e-cigarette shipping.
How to pack e-liquid?
If you decide to ship e-juice along with an e-cigarette or separately, protection is of central importance, especially if you are shipping the liquid in glass bottles. Make sure that you protect the bottles with enough bubble wrap and use cushioning materials to secure these in place. If you want to ship several bottles at once, you must use enough protective materials such as polystyrene chips to separate the bottles from one another. Cardboard dividers are also a good idea. Additionally, the caps should never come loose during transit – tighten them well before packing.
Our customers have been more than happy to share with us some of the reasons why they decided to ship e-cigarettes via courier services and why they used Eurosender for this task.

When sending e-cigarettes overseas, it is important to note that lithium batteries are forbidden for any items transported by air. For international shipments to and from Greece sent through Eurosender, courier services providers will not transport batteries or any type of electronic device including these batteries. When placing an order, check that the transport of your e-cigarette will be done by road, in which case lithium batteries are allowed for shipping.
Take into consideration these guidelines when shipping electronic cigarettes or e-liquid. Nevertheless, please consider that following them does not guarantee that the courier company will transport your package without restriction.
