But I only kick puppies when I see things like that picture :shock:

[airwoodstock]

Damn Baker!

That made my stomach flip and, it's not even mine! :cry:

[luckysealy]

i keep looking at that pic. i will be on pins and needles until my order arrives.

[snusfather]

:cry: OMFG! I'm HORRIFIED for you. I would be screeming like a little girl. :cry:

[Wholesome]

Man, Baker. That really sucks. I feel for ya. PM'd you.

[jackolantern]

omg, I'm so sorry! I can't stand disappointment like that. It will be great if they can get it sorted out, but I have to say that kind of makes me wonder about that supplier. If it is truly something that happened in the mail, that's one thing. But I would think that a company filling an order for a $60 can of snus may be a bit more careful in packaging.

[mercvrivs]

I'm sorry.

[RobME]

Me too baker, I'm sorry for your bad experience. Some shippers can literally play football with packages. Most survive some don't. From the look of your photo, it appears that box wasn't properly packed. JMO Maybe you're due for some good luck now...

Regards,

I'm really sad at the moment but,

I got an email.

GetSnus is taking care of it.

They are totally sold out at the moment though.

I'm sending this package back.

I really appreciate all the empathy guys. I was pretty shocked. I'm just as shocked what they're doing about it. Impressive!

Nice to have a good retailer in the U.S.

I hope I didn't make anyone else worry unnecessarily.

[captncaveman]

****! if that was mine i would go on a rampage. I hope Northerner packages mine better.

That's very upright of Getsnus to refund your money. It's hard to top that for customer service. Sucks that you lost the Kardus, but I'm very impressed with Getsnus' response.

There are plenty of examples of financial idiocy in the world, but buying a nice snus I don't think to be one of them. They can't well produce it cheaply - it comes in a quality, well crafted, custom made, limited edition box. There are tooling costs to starting up a limited production line, the selection of tobacco is done by hand, an incredibly laborious process, and the processing is tweaked and monitored every step of the way. It is costly, certainly, but it is not "ridiculously" priced. Ridiculously priced would be selling a tin of Ettan for the price of a roll - a case where the cost could not be justified.

This I see as no different than expending effort to do anything else one found enjoyable. Some would spend a week of holidays to trek through a wild forest on a camping expedition - braving weather, cold, insects, heavy burdens, and bruises. To others, this may seem a ridiculous waste of time and effort. Curiously, though, we are much quicker to critisise others, and even to secretly hold critical thoughts of others, when they do the exact same thing in indirect exchange rather than directly. Not when they use their time to do something extravagant, but when they save, in the form of money, the time they used working instead. It's just a means of deriving pleasure from being alive. That's what we all do every day.

Moreover, it is an effective means - people hope that they will derive pleasure from their Kardus and they do. Foolishness, in my books, would be malinvestment - spending money on something you expect to derive pleasure from and failing. Working a pyramid scheme, for example - that's craziness because the person in question believes they will get rich when they really have very little likelihood of doing so. Another example might be refinancing your house in a bubble market to buy things you can't afford. That I would shake my head at. But people, who can afford the small luxury, buying Kardus... I don't see anything wrong with that.

If you want something to be upset about which involves money, let's have a discussion about the state of the world right now and the things our elected leaders are doing with our same hard-earned money. Your feelings towards Kardus enthusiasts, I'm sure, will become jolly ones in no time. :wink:

Sometimes it's easier to apologize after than to ask permission before.
