PACT Act Vape Mail – Shipping Announcement
By now, you may have received news in regards to the upcoming PACT Act and vape mail restrictions, especially in regards to USPS, FedEx, and UPS. We want to offer some information changes to regulations and clarity on how this will affect the vape shipments moving forward.
What is the PACT Act?
In December 2020, a congressional amendment to the PACT Act was signed into the law as part of the omnibus spending bill. The effect of this new law broadens the definition of tobacco products to include electronic cigarettes, vapes, E-Liquids, and vaping accessories.
Starting March 27, 2021 the PACT will require online retailers to collect state and local excise taxes on vaping products and require Adult Signature on all deliveries nationwide. Other compliance requirements includes labeling and packaging, record-keeping, and State and Federal registration and reporting.
Furthermore, USPS will be prohibited from accepting packages of vapor products. Unfortunately, FedEx and UPS have voluntarily issued internal policy changes to stop the shipment of vapor products as well.
For your information, these carriers are expected to stop shipping vape products starting the following dates:
-FedEx, March 1
-UPS, April 5
-U.S. Postal Service (USPS), October 21
What Changes Can We Expect?
VapeLifeHub is committed to serving the vaping community and will continue to operate to serve our customers. Our team will be working with specialist carriers to build an extensive network of regional and local carriers for shipping deliveries, while adhering to compliance with State and Federal laws.
What are Local Regional Carriers?
Coverage will be limited and not all areas of the continental U.S. will be serviced. However, as the network expands, we will make sure shipping services are made available as soon as possible so hang on tight! Customers can verify if their location falls within our shipping network.
Please keep in mind that each City/State will have their own regulations that may prohibit us from shipping certain items to your location. You may encounter an error message during our checkout process in the event that your cart contains restricted items.
All packages containing vapor/tobacco related items will require Adult Signature (21+) upon delivery and will include a $7 Carrier’s Fee at checkout. For some carriers, the Adult Signature protocol may require scanning your ID to verify your age in their system. You can read more about the service here:
Why Does My Order Require An Adult Signature?
To fulfill your orders, we share necessary shipping information with third-party carriers such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, or other regional delivery services. Shared data typically includes:
- Recipient’s name
- Shipping address
- Phone number (for delivery updates)
- Email address (for tracking notifications)
Important for Vape Products:
All shipments require Adult Signature (21+) upon delivery. Carriers will verify the recipient’s age at delivery, and packages will not be left unattended. By providing your shipping information, you authorize us to share this data with carriers for the sole purpose of order fulfillment and age-verified delivery.
Shipping Restrictions:
We do not ship to PO boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or locations where receiving an adult signature is not possible. Some states and countries prohibit or restrict vape product shipments—we comply with all applicable laws and update restricted destinations regularly.
Carrier Privacy Policies:
Delivery partners have their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review their policies for information on how they handle your data.
