1. Order before 14:00 so the parcel leaves the same day and lands inside 6–12 business days.

3. Pick the nicotine salt bottle that fits the device already on your desk, not the one on the headline page.

• Child-resistant cap and tamper band on every pear bottle shipped into New Caledonia.
• A dated dispatch promise: before 14:00 same day, tracked, so no order is held to a warehouse cut-off.
