I looked at ordering from the above for the first time but they quote six powwwnds ninety nine (deliberate mispelling to beat an intrusive filter) Uk first class.That is way more than mysmokingshop, Toque and The Pipe Shop. Deal breaker I am afraid and the highest UK postal charges for a small item I have ever come across. I also don’t like being forced to register before checkout 
Don’t use a pound sign mate , or it cuts off your post :)

sorry.
Mr.Snuff is for international customers and Snuffstore.uk is for UK customers, both are run by the same owner but snuffstore should have cheaper shipping for UK customers

So, don’t order, who cares? Why start a new thread about it?
Sadly the Molens snuff I was looking at does not seem to be on the latter…not in the nice chest box anyway. I thought they were seperate entities but ok thank you.
Good thing you live over there. Here it is any where between 30% and 70% of the total for shipping. Even with that, snuff is still very economical. I could smoke a $10 cigar in two hours or buy $10 of snuff that would last up to a month.

Yeah I pay around $15-20 for shipping to Australia, nothing in comparison to the tobacco tax they slug you with. As n9inchnails has already said MrSnuff is for us foreigners, Snuffstore.uk if for you locals. Possibly if youre after Molens snuff which MrSnuff has though Snuffstore doesnt, try sending a message to Dave he may be able to do something for you. Though if the postage is just a few pounds more thats nothing in comparison to cigarettes.
In miamimarks defense you probably should have stated in the OP that you were looking for Molens snuff which is unavailable from the local Snuffstore.uk. Eitherway your best bet would be to message Dave at MrSnuff.
In case you weren’t already aware MrSnuff owns and pays for this website, so a post title like “Mr.Snuff UK postage: excessive” could rub some people up the wrong way who can end up paying a heck of alot more for postage and snuff in general. We can pay up to $30 for a 25g tin here in Aus before shipping

^^^^^^^^ Good points
I can understand that you’re annoyed about the shipping, but that can be the nature of the beast and I fail to see what you hoped to achieve with the post. A company might well have to pick an option that suits the majority of the orders but that might well come at a cost to smaller orders (single items, maybe). Most online places for me are expensive for a single tin as there is no price difference on shipping until you hit a certain weight or value, so 3 tins shipping is the same as 1.
If I don’t like it, I go elsewhere. If this one shop has the snuff that I want, I either pay it or I don’t.
As for the “intrusive filter” it is just that the text encoding doesn’t allow for certain characters. It’s not a filter as such, and certainly not there to intrude.

What would it cost to send yourself to pick it up in person?
Hello @Aamon I hope you are well.
Although “MrSnuff owns and pays for this website,” and I am grateful it exists, I also pay out for my computer and internet broadband connection to access the adverts and shops here. So we both shell out cash.
It is not entirely a charitable cause.
He does benefit from being able to advertise his business to the World.
In the UK this is the only way tobacco products can be advertised.
Newspaper and Magazine adverts for tobacco products are not allowed, nor television and radio, also cinema commercials. Racing and sports event associations banned. Advertising hoardings in the street and tobacconists window displays are all a thing of the past.
Tobacco products here have to be kept out of sight, behind sliding doors or kept in drawers under the counter. One tobacconists I know of has replaced its glass frontage with frosted glass so that it can retain its old style shop displays inside.
All kept out of sight and under the counter alongside of the mucky mags. .
Sites like Snuffhouse and shop websites are the only places left to advertise your products.
So you can see that paying for this sites upkeep is not exactly all charity and money down the drain for the owners.
I think Mr.Snuff should have a thick enough skin by now to fend off a few jeers and ride a couple of punches now and then.
Nothing really to do with the original post but its good to get it off yer chest.
:-@

I registered with Mr Snuff to place an order and was so shocked by the postage charges at checkout I didn’t go through with the order. Two kilos can be sent second class with Royal Mail for GBP 2.90 (with a franking machine even less!) Since about April 2017 Royal Mail tracks everything too so no risk of ‘it didn’t arrive’ claim from the buyer. Is Mr Snuff in the tobacco business or the rip-off business?

@Hoffwell yes exactly. @ArtChoo my sentiments exactly. Nobody does anything for nothing these days. I am new here so I am learning the ropes but nice to see a well reasoned and civilized post. I appreciate it 
I was not jeering or attempting to rock any boats nor am I “annoyed.” will happily give Snuffstore a go. I thought it was a seperate entity. Maybe I should of just asked how the figure quoted is calculated. I was not prepared for ill tempered messages from mods or snarky comments tbh. I am a civilized kind of bloke and kind of expect that back. I am a member of a few shaving forums which allow for a few rants and yet stay civilized. A clash of cultures I guess. Lord knows there are some snuffers, particularly on Youtube who like to put the world to rights As to posting you get some wild variations everywhere with online commere. Some of the quotes from the US in particular are crazy (if they are prepared to sell to you at all: many do not seem to realize ther is a world outside the US) and yet there is a chap who sells straight razors and other shaving stuff out of Texas who sent me a razor and other stuff for five bucks (Larry at Whipped Dog Razors: a little shout out for a total gentleman) I’ll draw a line under this now. I regret posting it and apologies.

the shipping may seem a little expensive but it cant be easy for a relatively small company to ship almost anywhere on the globe. there has got to more to it than just boxing it and slapping a label on it.
i guess im more asking a question than making a statement. maybe someone knows more about the logistics of shipping a heavily regulated product world wide

@peacock People are not compelled to explain how they run their business, but a brief explanation of the whys and wherefores of the process would have been much more agreeable than the response from @miamimark of “who cares?”
I most definitely care, and hopefully a few others here care.
Learning about the different vendor customer service encountered and value for money is one of the many things to be learned on forums such as this.
If vendors were to use terms like “who cares?”. it would make me think about the vendor, and think a second time before placing an order with them. I would wonder what would be their response if something serious went awry with any order placed with them. “who cares?” would be ringing in my ears.
@matteob I personally think you have nothing to apologise for and should be commended for alerting potential customers to the state of play with certain suppliers.
You also mentioned in one of your posts My Smoking Shop I have no connection with them, but I can heartily recommend their service and charges to anyone residing in the UK.
Cheers All.
@Roderick you don’t miss a trick do you! I do have several of your snuffs and enjoy them. I would like to see more of your snuffs with a bit more of a kick though. I have the original and the Camphor and Clove and they are lovely but my favourite is your SP Extra. I would like to see that higher strength base used for more flavours. Oh wel as I said let’s leave it there.
I’m just a mod on this forum, I don’t work for Mr Snuff so I would have no business explaining anything to anyone about his shipping prices. My “who cares” comment was mine alone. If I had a question about shipping prices I would email him directly, I wouldn’t post negative comments on a public forum. I’m entitled to my opinion just like anyone else.
