Cheap Snus?

[danielan]

So, the exchange rate is very favorable for the US right now.

BuySnus seems to allow you to buy your snus in Euros....

I haven't tried this, and I have already made my purchases for this payday, but if any of you want to try - you might want to set your currency to Euros before your next purchase where they allow this.

There may be fees. Visa looks like it charges like 1%. My bank seems to tack on another 1%.

But it still looks like you can save some cash.

On the other hand. Northerner seems to be giving a better rate in dollars anyway...

Maybe this should be titled - "Make sure you get a decent currency conversion"

BuySnus looks like they haven't updated their currency rate since 1/1/2010.

Buy snus seems very pricey in usd anyways

[danielan]

It's not bad in Euros though

And you can switch it yourself - so, if you have a card that won't charge you a big fee for exchange - I think this is the way to go.

[Simplysnus]

Yeah, went from 4.03 to 3.50

Excellent! I would have never thought of this

And since now they are aware of this..

And since now they are aware of this..

One would hope that they just fix the EU/USD conversion rate that has not been updated in almost 5 months. That's the legitimate/ethical thing to do.

Or they could raise the Euro rate - which would be, IMO, inappropriate.

I think they will make the right choice. Aside from over charging me on my first 2 orders, before I noticed this - they have been very good to do business with.

[Simplysnus]

They've lost orders from me because they were higher in USD than other places, so I'm assuming they would want to know that.

I should point out. IMO, any "overcharging" that occurred on my orders was ultimately my fault. I have an obligation to look out for my own interests.

People need to stop having an American mindset by default. There's a whole other world out there.
Last year I bought some MonteCristo and some Swedish Camel and paid in SEK because that's the only option I had for payment.
I used http://coinmill.com/SEK_USD.html#SEK for my currency conversion and my bill was within a few pennies.
My bank charged me a small fee but it was very reasonable.

Didn't Copernicus Determine that the earth rotated around North America, and was later backed up by Galileo?

Go for it Dog and thanks.

I _think_ I did my last order of any significance with them a few days ago. Totally unrelated to this issue - and I've been pleased with them.

But PACT messes up shipping (UPS International is just too pricey for me).

My stash is basically complete, and I'm going on a SnusX and Oomph regular routine. And they can't service this.

Ok, so I wasn't going to order from here again. Then I changed my mind.

So, I had another weird pricing deal with them - so I sent them a note on both issues.
