    Wanting to give buysnus.com a go

    I have never ordered from them....I primarily do business with the Northerner and want to try a different company, since the Northerner loves to send me ten individual cans instead of rolls, when I clearly state that I want a roll. Being a company based in Sweden, I am wondering, is shipping to the United States (specifically the East Coast) horribly expensive and how to do they do the whole tax thing? Also, how does their age verification system work? I read on their website about how it's new or something...is it similar to the Northerner (have ordered from the Northerner after the PACT Act started using their nifty little verification system and have never had a problem)? and also...when I order a roll, will they ship me the ROLL, instead of ten individual cans?

    The great thing about Buysnus.com is that they do not charge taxes as they ship from Sweden. I had no issues with the age verification- I think they do it with your credit card. And yes, they ship the factory shrink wrapped rolls.

      I have never had any issues with Buysnus.com. They've aways been fast and their product fresh, plus their discount system is simple, buy 5 rolls, get the 6th half price. That said, I live in Europe, so I cannot speak to their US delivery times, but other forum members have said they got it within 3-4 days.

      As for the "roll", it's hit and miss. Most of the time, they have sent me actual rolls in the original wrapper, however, I've had one or two deliveries where the roll was made up of say 5 left in the wrapper and 5 lose. To be fair though, I never asked them for a complete roll and they have to somehow sell the rest of a roll from when some people order 1-2 cans of a given snus.

        When I order via Swedish post from buysnus they send me seperate cans. When I order UPS they send me a roll.

        I've just stuck in another order today and I expect it'll be here by Thursday.


        They're a great company that can't be faulted.

          Two orders, one post PACT, no problems. Shipping is more expensive but it doesn't scale like Northerner's mandatory state taxes so if you buy 3+ rolls it's worth it. Also check out Snuscentral, also run by Buysnus (Make WeBo), flat $31 UPS shipping but cheaper can/roll prices and a 10% first order discount. Oh and yes their stuff is freshhh with 3 h

              $31 is thru SnusCentral, BuySnus is a little cheaper on shipping. around $25
              Price on shipping is almost identical whether you order 1 roll or 3 rolls.

              One thing you get with BuySnus is half price on every 6th roll, which you don't get from SnusCentral.

              We can't get cheap Swedish Post shipping anymore to the states Post-PACT.

                  Next time add up shipping through Northerner (~$15 for starters) and taxes (for me, somewhere around $10+ each roll) and you'll see that international options look very good when you place large orders. Not to mention roll pricing is much more competitive internationally.

                    I have ordered from all three.

                    The shipping rates quoted are really not bad if you are ordering three or four rolls. Some brands, like Skruf, have to be ordered from Sweden.

                    Ordering very early Monday morning I have had shipments arrive from Sweden Thursday morning or afternoon to the US west coast.

                    Have only ordered once from Northerner since PACT. Took over a week. Northerner is more expensive per can and they do add on state tax.

                    Will continue to order from Northerner as they made the effort to set up distribution here and have some brands the others don't but tend to do that mainly when they have great sales like the recent Thunder blowout.

                    You can register at all three and run the amounts including shipping and then decide.
