| Check | What to expect |
|---|---|
| State rule | Queensland — health-law regulation, no retail licence |

Delivering to Redcliffe
Redcliffe is serviced via the northern Brisbane corridor, typically within 1–3 business days. Coastal weather does not usually delay parcels, but storm season can, so build a day of slack in summer.
Coastal delivery planning
- Standard windows apply in most weather; storms add a day occasionally.
- Holiday periods slow couriers more than distance does.
- Pack sizes: sealed 20s or larger — singles are illegal Australia-wide.
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. Coastal suburbs are simple to serve — plan around storms, not distance.
- 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.
