What are you’re thoughts on mr snuff? i’ve sent him a couple of emails with questions and have received no replies. Also I was happy to see you could buy WoS blends in bulk from him now I see you can only buy WoS SMBLUE and nothing else. That is disconcerting. I suppose after such meticulous service from Tom I’m overly cautious and with this spectre of PACT haunting me I’m needing to buy in bulk a few things.
I’ve had nothing but positive transactions with Mr. Snuff. I have emailed Dave many times and have always received a reply. I have just emailed him today about the Wilson’s bulk situation. Chances are, he sold all the bulk he had and just hasn’t updated the website, since it is a holiday weekend. Or maybe even he is trying to lessen his stock a little so that the move to the UK is a bit easier on him.
I have mainly dealt with MrSnuff, and I’ve never had any issues, or lack of reply. Being the weekend, he may just not be at the email.
yeah great experiences with mr snuff. In fact in one post recently he explained the lack of e-mail replies. In fact when I’ve emailed him I’ve been shocked about the reply speed.
Just looked, can’t find it, thought I remembered Daves PACT Bulk sale was a special deal. Collect orders and then submit to the manufacturers. i.e. he wasn’t stocking the bulk. I had actually looked just this morning thinking to place another bulk order as well, I too was disappointed to see the lack of offerings. That said, I have had previous good communications, couldn’t figure how to address an order for shipment to Iraq, and a series of rapid fire e-mails from Dave got it sussed out. I’d agree that between the holiday weekend and putting the wheels under moving operations, Dave’s prolly a busy boy!
I have had nothing but good service from Dave at Mr.Snuff, I have always split my orders with him and Tom. Dave went the extra mile for me more than once. And I just received all of my bulk Wilsons, I am very happy now and wanted to thank him for fixing me up. I am sure he has his hands and sadly his mind full of things now. Double thumbs up from me, and thanks for putting together the bulk purchase deal, I am set now, no worries. I am tipping a pinch your way Dave!
Ditto on great service from Mr. Snuff. Maybe your emails are going to his spam folder. I would suggest to give him a call if possible.
I would like to reiterate the positive support for Dave. Always been a pleasure doing business with him and he will go the extra mile for his customers. Got me a 500 gram order of Fubar Grunt never been offered before.
I received my ‘Beat PACT’ bulk order yesterday. I couldn’t be happier.
Sweet, I cannot wait for my “Beat PACT” shipment to arrive. 
Dave only has listed on his site the bulk items he has in stock. One month ago, he had 460s of WoS Best SP, SM Blue and F&T Old Paris in stock (as far as Wilson’s brands go; he usually keeps more McChyrstals in stock, given the smaller containers). Now he only has the SM Blue in stock. Normally, when you place a bulk order from Mr. Snuff, the items are ordered directly from the manufacturer within 24 hours of placing the order. Delivery times vary because the time it takes for an item to clear U.S. Customs is unpredictable. I placed a large bulk order prior to the PACT sale, and received it in less than 14 days. I made it clear to Dave that I would PREFER to get the bulk items direct from the factory rather than from his stock, and that’s exactly what I got. Based on my experience so far, Dave et al. at Mr. Snuff are absolutely reliable. But like Tom, they don’t carry much bulk stuff in stock, given the overhead costs of carrying a huge, slow moving inventory (there are 66 varieties of WoS, according to snuffreviews.com), and given that one of the main reasons that most people buy bulk is to get something “fresh” straight from the factory.
The WoS/F & T bulk I received was ordered directly from the factory. Don’t be afraid to place factory orders. Dave will get them to you in a timely manner.
With all of this talk about factory fresh snuff…I feel bad for buying all of my bulk snuff, only with plans to age it and enjoy it several years from now. Maybe I need to crack one open and transfer the rest into canning jars. I am still new to snuff and do not know what is best to do. I just know that I want to remain a strategic stockpile of my favorite snuffs.
Don’t feel bad. I won’t be using any of this bulk for a while to come, as I plan to beat PACT until the end of my days. I am going to decant it into Mason jars (I bought all those damn things; might as well use them!), but if left undisturbed these 460g tubs will keep the snuff fresh for some time. Over the long run, though, well-sealed canning jars are the way to go in order to retain absolute freshness.
Reminds me of what I need to do with all of my pipe tobacco. Luckily I have several dozen mason jars. I also have to order a bunch of amber jars for chemical storage, but the shipping cost is going to be painful to pay. I checked everywhere local and everyone recommended me to do mail/Internet order for those kinds of glass jars. I just have to grin and bare it.
saucy_jack, I echo everyone else’s sentiments. I’ve had nothing but pleasant experiences with Mr.Snuff. He’s always responded to my emails withing 24 hours and ordering snuff thru Dave’s site has always been a pleasure.
I just received my first larger order from Mr. Snuff. I knew he had a good reputation. Order and it will come. Besides, a watched pot never boils…
@saucy_jack: I apologize if we missed an email before. this weekend we took off pretty much. Had a long-overdue kiddy weekend. Usually Natasha and I split the emails, but recently it has all been falling on her shoulders (and there are a lot of them). Sometimes due to the greatly increased workload it might be less than instant. Again, sorry for that. I know as a consumer myself, instant answers are definitely preferred. As for the Wilsons bulk, since they started shipping UPS I was shocked to discover that these individual orders for bulk we have been putting in over the past couple for months have been costing me nearly $100 over what I am charging on the site due to brokerage fees ($40), unspecified government charges ($52), a new $24 FDA charge and of course taxes. That on top of shipping and actual cost of product. Nice service that will put us out of business if we keep doing it. It was ok for the PACT special because all extra fees are per shipment. The UK Office is being stocked as I type. There will be a short delay in getting everything in, but once it is all set up then we will offer bulk again since obviously we don’t have to worry about all these extraneous charges. You may notice some stock dwindling until it all arrives in the UK. It is going by sea so it will take a little while. Please bear with us over the next couple of weeks. Obviously we are stretched very thin, and it is no quick and easy task. However, we hope the wait will be worth it, and in a couple of months things will be more or less back to business as usual. Thanks Dave
As always Dave, the best of luck to ya. Damn bad to hear you getting hit so hard with the shipping! Damn!
Apparently the fastest way to get a responce it to post a “shotgun blast to the face” via this forum. Mr. Snuff I see you getting blasted all the time. Whats the deal man? seem nice enough to me.
