I have not done snus in quite a while and was wondering what website you frequent snusers use to get the best deals.
Since passage of the PACT act there are no great deals for US snussers. $30 shipping sucks, plus the recent price increases on the snus itself makes it much less of a deal than it used to be.
Having said that I buy exclusively from SnusCentral and Buysnus. If you watch the sales you can still get reasonably priced snus.
I never really liked buysnus very much, and I remember the northerner being better than it is now, so I searched around a little bit and found a website called snusdirect.com I really like the layout of the website and the prices seem to be reasonably low compared to most other sites (Assuming i’m buying the General White line of snus). Then again I dont know what shipping is for this website. Have you ever used it before?
I never heard of snuscentral before, I just went to it, definantly seems like a great place to get snus from, i’ll probably use it if I cant find good enough feedback on snusdirect.
northerner.com is a great website for snus and dip.
snusdirect is relatively new … but their website does look good, give them a shot if you feel like it. Not sure why you wouldn’t like buysnus … but to each his own. i second bigmick, snuscentral and buysnus are where i go to buy. and to your point re: Northerner, that is correct, way before PACT, they may have been better, but clearly too many shipping, stocking, and customer service issues for me to use any longer.
I’ve never had a problem with northerner.
I seriously doubt I will ever do business with Northerner again due to Frank Svandal’s letter to the FDA regarding Non Face to Face sale and Distribution of Tobacco Products. He throws some board sponsors here under the proverbial bus as well as his competition. If internet sales are not available to me I will be strictly a Swedish Match snuser. Besides that…I get better service elsewhere.
Im curious to see if anyone has used snusdirect, if not then i’ll have to try it
Slide anyone have a copy of this letter? Otherwise I will have to regaurd it as hear-say. Oddly I’ve gotten great service from the Northerner consistently. And every problem I’ve had (which any online retailer will have if used enough) they’ve more then fixed. Again if you know where I can view this letter I would be interested. Oddly though it seems like the kind of thing that wouldn’t be public.
i do … should i post it? not heresay … true. though, not sure if this is the correct forum to do this … @bob, can simply message you the form letter submitted by Frank.
Actually, here is the link … and it is a matter of public record:
http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDet…FDA-2011-N-0467-0046
just view the PDF file.
Yes I do or I wouldn’t have posted. Link has been provided and I have a downloaded copy.
I also have thoughts regarding the accuracy and motivation of some of his statements. Those I will refrain from posting
I use snuscentral.com pretty much entirely. Their shipping prices are a little high, but I just feel like they usually have pretty good sales (i.e. snus that people actually want to buy entire rolls of) & decent prices.
premiumsnus.com has a little cheaper shipping. Last time I checked it was around $20.
buysnus.com is another site that I at least check out. I haven’t actually ordered from them.
Lastly, Northerner & the rest of the snus sites that they own charge more for snus. They have cheaper shipping prices because they’re in the U.S., but you’ll have to chip in the federal tax at the very end. So in all respects, you’ll end up paying about the same in taxes + shipping as you would in shipping them from a Swedish site.
Ohhhh wow… I just read that letter… Looks very… “I want to bump off my competitors by throwing them under the bus” Changes my perspective a bit.
Wow
You can get general from lilbrown.
After reading that letter I am just about ready to delete snus.com, Northeners state side website from my favorites list, But get good service from them.
here’s their website…
edm
I’m not on snus for the moment.I asking myself if use snus don’t risk to make me less feeling snuff.
Is snus much more stronger on vitamine N than snuff ?
As it seems to be difficult to ordering this from France,in few time arrives some Wintergreen Grizzly,I use sometimes Makla Ifrikia or Absolut snus,but this last is without tobacco…
There are differents products too : loose snus,moist snuff,portions…So on.
The strongest nictoine buzz I have ever gotten was off of snus, so you have an excellent point there gandalf. You may not enjoy snuff as much if you start to crave the nicotine level in snus. Plus snus is more expensive.
Just read through it thanks guys. Not changing my ordering habits frankly.
Wow…lilbrown has really good prices on General. I wonder how quickly they turn over their stock.
@gandalf I agree with Vito445. I am slowly decreasing my snus intake with snuff. I like both but I really think I like snuff more.
I think I will continue to take it time to time and cautiously.
While I cannot stand the PACT ACT with a passion and would have liked Frank to speak up more for his adult customers…and while I am always glad to have a less expensive option for anything I buy…from a business stand point I completely understand his point…Some venders are playing by the rules…others are not…thus some venders have an unfair (and unlawful) advantage over other venders
We don’t like Frank’s letter because we benefit from those venders who are not playing completely above board
That said, I want to point out, that in my opinion, where the real anger should lie is with the moronic PACT ACT itself and the government that produced it. The law is utterly duplicitous and unfounded. It and not the venders are the villains in this episode of our forum (regardless of how the venders may bicker and compete)
At the same time, I also think it is fair to say that Frank did not use the opportunity the letter provided to shed more light on the broader ill effects of the law. I think he could have done both (i.e. pointed out the uneven playing field as well as the fact that the law is only penalizing his lawful adult customers while doing little to nothing to curve its stated intention to save the children. Therefore the entire law needs to be trashed or drastically reworked).
In the end, I understand Frank’s point………………Also…………in full awareness of my hypocrisy………….I will continue to shop all the venders for the best deals that I can find. My beef is with Pact……not any of our shops, merchants, or producers………they have my full support.
