Imperial Tobacco Australia white ox tobacco

Have been a white ox smoker 4 over 20 years now and would like to complain about your product. Over the last few years i have noticed that there is more and more crap in each pack bark and or stems, it has come to the stage where i feel i need to complain about this product, with the price we pay now days for our smokes one would think that the product would be better not worse. I smoke the 50gram packs, and even tried the 25gram packs, to see if the quality was better but it was not, this is the reason for my complaint, I smoke at least 2-3 packs a week and its just not right to pay out 50 dollars per pack, and receive the poor quality that i have been receiving, please respond to this email to ( edited ) with your reply.

Imperial Tobacco Australia jps red cigarettes

Bought a pkt of Jps Red 30s, code at btm 716720:20, and couldnt open the packet. Used a knife finding inside of pack and lid had extra paper sealing lid from inside. Ended up damaging 4 frnt row smokes.
I would expect that there were better quality standards in place considering the price consumers pay today. We lower class people ONLY bought jps because they were the cheapest smokes on the market. Im dissapointed and inconvenienced and will b changing brands... There are other smokes cheaper and probably with better quality stsndards..

Imperial Tobacco Australia no cigarettes in the new sealed packet

‪this morning I went to my local service station before work. I had paid for petrol and brought a 20 pack of what I believed to be JPS blues. When I got to work I had trouble open my pack and needed a Stanley knife to open it and when I did to my surprise it was a packet full of tissue. I rang the service station straight away and advised them I would be in straight after work to swap the pack of tissues for a pack of cigarettes I had paid for. When I got in there the staff had to tell me that they were not allowed to give me my packet I had paid for because they are not responsible for the faulty tobacco product, what I was telling them was highly unlikely to be happen and they won't be given back their money. I reminded them that there was no tobacco in the packet, I wasn't a liar and the cost should fall on the business not the customer. They gave me your number and the customer service number for their company. Naturally I was not leaving the station without a pack of cigarettes as it was the day before pay day and I had no money to buy another pack so I rang their customer service team because i was not going to be put out because of their policies and the obvious gross neglect to the quality control of the packaging of this product. After the drawn out conversation between myself, team leader and customer service team. The customer service team had made up there mind and said I could get the pack that I had paid for. Low and behold the service station had run out of JPS blue 20's and gold 20's, I ended up leaving with a completely different brand in gold so not what I had originally paid for. At this point I was just happy to have cigarettes because I had been waiting all day. More to the point of my comlaint with you is because I strongly believe that quality control procedures and machinery need to possibly revised or replaced as it has failed badly in this case. For a sealed cigarette packet full of tissues with the lid glued shut and the plastic seal on the outside in contact there has to be some issues that need to be rectified. I have all photos and reference numbers and proof of purchase if needed but the issue needs to be rectified. ‬

Imperial Tobacco Australia 25 gm pouch white ox

Bought a pouch of 25gm tabacco from tobacconist in Mirrabooka shopping centre and when i opened it it didn't look right it was a light brown and smelt of menthol I rolled a small cigarette and to my disbelief it was actually some type of menthol tabacco.
I was quite upset and had to return it which cost me another 38dollars in a taxi to get to shop before Shop closed.
It was Wednesday the 19th April 2017.

Imperial Tobacco Australia horizon cigarettes. blue 93mm long. pack of 20 barcode [protected]

For the third time - the third time! - I've just had to leap from my chair and tip my drink onto the carpet to extinguish the coal that dropped from the cigarette I was about to stub out. I've only been buying these (made in France apparently - I don't know if that matters) for the last couple of weeks. I presume they're replacing the previous packs of 22.

I could just accept that I'd been careless the first time this happened. The second time I was pretty annoyed because the coal first landed in my lap and scorched a hole in my (old and unwonderful) artificial fibre pants on its way to the floor.

Now I'm beginning to think these things are badly made, loosely packed, carelessly inspected, _something_ is wrong with their production for this to happen so often in such a short time. You should withhold the product from sale while you check these out or you identify the faulty batch and destroy that.

They call them horizon long but they are the same length as other cigarettes only the filter is long which we don’t really need! Thats nasty! And they also burn quickly! Not happy won’t be buying them again 😡

I agree with this comment, because smoking is getting so expensive I do tend to compare prices between the different pack sizes to get the best deal.
The tobacco definitely isn't packed as tightly in the 92mm cigarettes and any advantage in the longer length is lost because you can't smoke the last 7-8 mm
due to the fact that the hot coal at the end just falls out. When you compare these with the normal size Horizons, taking into account the unusable section at the butt end, you get maybe one more puff out of them so no advantage at all really. I guess this is why they are cheaper per stick than the others in the brand. Quality control is definitely lacking here and one would think that at a time when so many people are giving up due to increasing prices in Australia they would want to keep their quality high.

Since the cigarettes have changed over to plain packaging they have a different taste and there is a blacker marking on the filter seeming to show more tar content. I have been abroad recently and purchased cigarettes in the old packaging and they are much smoother to smoke and do not leave a dark stain on the filter. It seems to me that they have changed the cigarette as well as the packaging

1st of November 2016, For the second time in two weeks I purchased a box of 5 Tally- Ho Papers from my local Woolworth's at Playford S.A. only to discover that the box only contained 4 packets instead of the 5 clearly listed on the box. It would appear that the companies QA and inspection needs attention. Please endeavour to improve your systems to prevent further occurrences.

I got a packet of JPS red 20's from a Foodstore grocery shop in Kingston, Qld. When I opened the packet I found a cigarette with two wrappers over the filter. The first wrapper was on the filter properly, the other was half wrapped around. I will enclose a photo of the cigarette.

Imperial Tobacco Australia Worst hosting company ever. Cheap and cheat

Hello,

Myself JMI Software. I have purchased a reseller from JP Software Solution . Until purchase the middle man said the technical knowledge and handling of servers are maintained by top end people and good with their skill. But after that I cant be able to use anything. Right now when I am continuously calling their mobile phone it stays switched off. Just a baby-due reason that cell phone tower is not near and middle one always say that that technical person is out of station and other silly reasons.

After reviewing messages from Mr. Jeya Prakash. The Honourable Managing Director of JPSS.in . What kind of Business is this. Don't you know that you are affecting our Business. Don't you have manners. Why you blame Kumaresan. If you have proper source you would have suspend his account way long back.

Are not you a shame of yourself to behave like this. Please be aware that we are going to complaint directly to the Consumer Board and going to cancel your registration. There is always power of common People.

JPSS WORST SERVICE AND FRAUD COMPANY WITH JEYA PRAKASH RUNING OTHER PEOPLE LIFE

Imperial Tobacco Australia Didn't ask any details about me

I applied for a job on craigslist. Company called RCJPS wanted to hire me. We talked through Skype. I had to analyse the data and to put the info into the tables. They didn’t ask any details about me, my account and etc. It looked strange as how will they pay me salary? I hang up…

Big chunks of tar through the tobacco. It tastes awful. It's happened a few times now. We have always smokes your brand and don't want to change. But that was pretty disappointing.

I brought a packet of Champion Ruby 50 g from Woolworths in Caroline Springs on the 20.02.23.

For some reason it came in the old packaging. The one that doesn't fold over twice and the tobacco was stale and dry. I'm losing so much tobacco when I roll one and it does not taste good.

More and more often finding large solid resin type chunks in product, no doubt contributing to the 25g pouch.

My last two pouches of white ox has had a large amount of stem/barky bits in it. I Bought this tobacco at Little Grove General Store. I would like a replacment pouch to compensate my loss, white ox is an expensive tobacco and I would like to keep purchasing it but will cease to do so if quality is this low.

Thankyou
