i would say about 25-35% of the snus i have got from getsnus has been within days of the best by date or expired. i think that it's wrong for them to sell snus that has expired or that is within about 30 days of best by unless they make it clear what you are about to buy. If the dates are close or expired say so and let the buyer make up his or her mind if they want to buy.
i bought a roll of general stark loose and it was about 25 days away. mixed with other brands i use that roll would last me maybe 2-3 months. By the time I got down to the last 4-5 cans it was dried so much it was unusable to me. I complained and they said they would give me a discount next time but still no discount.
I will keep buying a few cans from them here and there. but until they quit sending me cans that expire the day i get them i will buy my rolls from northerner or buysnus. Both have treated me right for the last 4-5 years.
Anyone who has ever ran an inventory of goods knows what fifo and jit means. The only excuse they might have is if they hardly sell any snus and have to buy a minimum amount and that min is more than they can sell before it expires. In that case they should cut down on how many brands they sell until they can get their sales volume up. We used to run invs with a ledger and a pencil. Now there is software that does it and you just type numbers and it spits out your next order.
Expired snus may not kill you but when you buy something you should expect a certain level of quality. Considering the fact that snus is not cheap i expect the best quality i can buy. If one decides to freeze their snus, throw it away or use it for filling in pot holes is their decision and not getsnus's.
snus makers put those dates on the cans, not the buyers. They are going to put as long of a date as they can get away with. We (American snusers) should not just accept what they send. If we do pretty soon they will be putting two year "best by" dates on the stuff. Swedish Match does own getsnus and profit is king.
Those butt kissers in the getsnus forum sure wont raise a stink about the getsnus bad dates. Sorry for jumping in as a new user and ranting about this. I saw this thread and as the originator said it irritates me too :-(
