Some of the members, particularly those from high-tax states, need some assistance from their Snuson bretheren. The idea has been proposed that we could sync & consolidate our orders in a way that would benefit everyone in the snuson community.
The problem we face with PACT: Shipping is expensive, and some states have tax rates that are out of line to say the least.
The solution: This problem can be circumvented (legally) if we all work together.
Shipping is cheap when you do BIG bulk orders. A roll of snus is roughly 1lb, yet it costs $15 to ship 1 roll and only $23 to ship 8 rolls. (for me anyways)
Additionally, some people live in states where the taxes are so high that the tax equals or exceeds the cost of the snus.
WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP:
As Snusdog proposed, those of us in low tax states should volunteer our services to others, in order to benefit the Snuson community. If we could all agree on 1 or two flavors, and routinely do a mass order, say every 3-6 months, we could all save big time on our snus.
The way it would work:
EXAMPLE:
1 roll of Thunder Frosted, shipped to me= $4.50 per can
9 rolls of Thunder Frosted, shipped to me = $2.90 per can
(NOTE: Maximum order is 9 rolls. Northerner will not ship anything over 9.5 lbs in any 1 shipment)
Easily we see that the price of our snus was almost cut in half using this process. Someone who is paying 90-100$ per roll in a high tax state could instead buy their snus for $26.10 per roll plus another $10 for shipping. THIS IS A HUGE SAVINGS, almost $70 off per roll for those in high-tax states.
The poll: Would you be willing to participate in this if it was established here on the forum. Participation= buying a roll or more and having it shipped to someone in a low tax state (who would then ship to you) AND/OR if you live in a low-tax state, if you are willing to recieve the bulk order.
EDIT: Note this is not a public poll, it will not say who voted for what so don't be afraid to say no if that applies to you.

The way it would work:
- We have an official thread for each bulk order, a poll will decide what flavor is most requested by the participants.
- Once the flavor is decided, all those who wish to participate will send their money to 1 trusted Snuson veteran who lives in a low tax state
- He will then place on large order, which will make shipping cheap and taxes low.
- He will then ship out the snus to those who ordered it, passing the savings on to them. (shipping will be paid by those ordering)
- The person who orders it gets paid because for every 8 rolls you order you get 1,000 bonus points. So 1 free roll of any snus to whoever places the order for everyone.

1 roll of Thunder Frosted, shipped to me= $4.50 per can
