I tried to order some snuff from snuff.me.uk and three times my credit card verification failed. I suspect I know what the reason is and it is almost certainly on my end. Bottom line I could not buy from this shop. On the third try, in desperation, I filled in the special instructions section or whatever just noting that I was not able to buy from the shop.
Next thing you know I get an email from the store owner expressing concern and offering to help me with the payment manually.
I placed my order and it was shipped immediately. It was even postmarked the same day.
Even though it was packed and shipped correctly and immediately it took a month to arrive because of the post over here. I got a claim check in the mail box yesterday two weeks after the package was misrouted by the local post to the main post office in our city, far from my house. I also got a second notice at the same time I got the two week old notice!
I got my package this morning. The snuff was packed carefully to prevent damage and the order was filled correctly.
Big two thumbs up for Jamie of snuff.me.uk going the extra mile. I feel like my business was important to snuff.me.uk even though I didn't order 100 UKP of snuff. I was treated like a valued customer. You can bet this shop is on my short list of places to patronize when it comes to snuff.

According to original descriptions, there are four different Jaxons snuff bases, all described as 'finely ground':
Brown: English Gold, Golden Roast.
Dark: Frosted Apri, Frosted Red, Frosted Ripple.
Dark brown: Extra Strong.
It would be interesting to compare these snuffs base-wise. Say, If I were too bored and looking for adventures, I would go for Dukes Brown, Golden Roast, Frosted Ripple and Extra Strong.
And maybe add another tin of SP Premium.
NB: All four bases are defined as SP (see original descriptions below every snuff at http://snuff.me.uk/Jaxons-Snuff.asp). It supports my hypothesis that SP stands for salt and potash (any alkalizer/-s, not limiting to single K2CO3, actually). Is there a 'proper' citrussy (or bergamot scented) SP among them Jaxons, I don't know. At least not in the destriptions, if any.
