For Australian adults aged 18 and over. A Virqalo product page can show two A$ amounts for one record: the regular price and the current price. The current price is the amount the record is listed at now. The regular price is the reference amount shown beside it. On the live catalogue checked for this guide (5 August 2026), every product record shows a current price below its regular price, and the page labels the pair “Original price was” and “Current price is”. This guide explains those two price fields and how to confirm which amount applies before checkout.
This is factual catalogue information for Australian adults. It does not recommend tobacco use, claim that one record is equivalent to another, or make health-benefit claims. Tobacco contains addictive nicotine, and smoking causes serious health risks.
What the two price amounts are
On a Virqalo product page the price block can contain two amounts in Australian dollars (A$):
- Regular price – the reference or list amount stored for the record. On the live product page it appears struck through with the label “Original price was:”.
- Current price – the amount the record is listed at right now. It appears with the label “Current price is:”.
For example, the live record Marlboro Red Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs), SKU SS-302, displays “Original price was: A$230.00” and “Current price is: A$196.42”. Both amounts belong to the same catalogue record; they are two price fields, not two products.
Where the two amounts appear
The full pair is shown in the main price block on the product page, together with the record’s title, SKU, quantity wording and stock indicator. The same two amounts can also appear in related-product blocks and shop listings. The product page is the authoritative display: the Virqalo Exact Product Directory states that each visible amount applies to one carton containing 10 packs, and that the live product record is the source for the current AUD price, stock state and applicable Australian delivery terms.
Because a directory or search result may show only one amount, open the exact product page before you treat a price as final.
Which amount is charged
The current price is the displayed selling amount for the record. The regular price is reference information. Before checkout, confirm the amount in the cart and compare the complete product name, SKU, carton quantity, current A$ price and stock state. If a product page and the cart do not match, pause and check before submitting the order – see Product Page and Cart Do Not Match? Checks Before Checkout in Australia.
A price on a product page is a live catalogue field, not a permanent quote. Saved search results, older screenshots and the amounts on a similarly named record should not be used as the final check – the full verification process is explained in How to Check a Cigarette Carton Price in Australia Before Ordering.
Why a regular price is displayed
The struck-through regular price gives context: it is the reference amount recorded for the item, and the current price is the live listed amount. The site may show a “Sale!” label when the current price is below the regular price. On the live catalogue checked on 5 August 2026, all 28 published product records were listed with a current price below their regular price, and every record was marked in stock.
The regular price is not an additional charge, and seeing it does not mean you will pay it. It also does not indicate how long a current price will stay in place. Prices and availability can change – the Terms and Conditions note that catalogue information, including displayed information, may change, and the current product and cart pages are the authoritative record at the time of an order.
How to verify the price before you order
- Open the exact product page from the Virqalo Exact Product Directory or the shop, rather than relying on a search preview.
- Match the complete displayed title and the exact SKU so the price belongs to the intended record.
- Read the quantity wording – each current Virqalo record is listed as one carton containing 10 packs – so the amount is attached to the right sale unit.
- Read the current A$ amount, and note the regular price as reference only.
- Review the cart and checkout, and compare the final amount with the product page before submitting.
- If any field is unclear, use the contact page with the exact product name and SKU.
Live examples from the catalogue
These records were read from the live Virqalo catalogue on 5 August 2026. Each amount applies to the unit stated in the title (one carton containing 10 packs), and each record was in stock when checked:
| Product record | SKU | Regular price | Current price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marlboro Red Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) | SS-302 | A$230.00 | A$196.42 |
| MEVIUS Lights 8mg – 1 Carton (10 Packs) | SS-347 | A$290.00 | A$247.66 |
| Marlboro Ice Blast Mega 8mg (Japan) Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) | SS-278 | A$300.00 | A$256.20 |
| Double Happiness Soft – 1 Carton (10 Packs) | SS-1049 | A$210.00 | A$179.34 |
| Vietnamese Kent Switch – 1 Carton (10 Packs) | SS-338 | A$260.00 | A$222.04 |
Two records can share a similar name and still be distinct catalogue entries with their own SKU and price fields. A lower current price on one record does not make it a substitute for another product – verify the title and SKU before choosing a record.
FAQ
Is the sale price the price I pay?
The current price is the displayed selling amount for the record. Confirm the final amount in the cart and at checkout before submitting an order.
Why is there a crossed-out price on the product page?
The crossed-out amount is the regular (reference) price. It is shown for context beside the current price and is labelled “Original price was”.
Will I always be charged the lower amount?
Prices are live catalogue fields and can change. The product and cart pages at the time of an order are the authoritative record, so re-check the current amount before checkout.
Are the prices in Australian dollars?
Yes. Virqalo is an Australia-only catalogue and prices are displayed in Australian dollars (A$), with AUD as the storefront currency.
Do the amounts apply to a carton or a single pack?
Each amount applies to the sale unit stated in the product title. Current Virqalo records are listed as one carton containing 10 packs.
Does a different price mean the product is different?
Not by itself. Price is one field; identity comes from the complete title and the exact SKU. Compare the full record, not just the amount.
