Delivering to Cannington
Cannington delivery runs 3–6 business days from eastern warehouses and much faster from Perth sellers. Dense retail precincts can complicate delivery addresses, so use the residential address where an adult will actually be present.
Choosing the right address
- Use a residential address where someone can sign and show ID.
- Shop addresses often have restricted delivery hours.
- Ask who holds the WA licence — a quick quality filter.
Before you order — four checks that never change
- Price against the excise floor. Duty is $1.55274 a stick from 1 September 2026 — about $31 in a 20-pack and $310 in a carton. In Cannington, the address choice decides whether the parcel arrives first time.
- The pack in the photo. Legal Australian stock is drab brown (Pantone 448C) with graphic warnings covering at least 75% of the front and 90% of the back — no logos, no brand artwork.
- Age and delivery. Distance sellers must verify you are 18 or over, and somebody who can sign and show ID has to be at the address. Lockers and unstaffed addresses can be refused.
- State rules. South Australia prohibits mail and online tobacco orders outright; everywhere else requires an age-verification system.
