Skruf on snuscentral.com

[thebeatlesk]

Hey...I just tried ordering some skruf but snuscentral.com won't proccess the order. Does anyone know why this is?

What's the error message? Their site would likely be better for support, I've never used them.

The message says they are unable to ship this product to new york state. Can someone in america order skruf?

It's not a Skruf issue, but a NY issue. I don't think you're allowed to have tobacco in NY. You could try Buysnus.

I am so happy I don't live in NY.. No offense to anyone but that state is messed up when it come to individual rights... I may be thinking of NY City but still....

I live in western NY...i not as bad as NYC (YOU CANT EVEN SMOKE ON THE STREETS THERE) but its getting pretty bad. I wonder why I cant order skruf, but i can order other things from the site. Wierd.

No smoking in public places in NYC, no flavored tobacco. Highest tobacco taxes.. Cigarettes cost over $12 per pack.

Actually it's a Skruf issue guys, they have refused to register their product with the FDA, however NY still sucks.....that is all ;-)

That shouldn't affect SnusCentral though, should it? I thought they followed Buysnus' policies, which are barring embargo, or manufacturer request, you can get any snus available.

Yeah I would think this is an issue specific to NY... I believe there was some fuss a few weeks/months back about NY residents not being able to purchase snus online, although I can't remember the exact details. I believe it had something to do with new regulations with customs in that state specifically.

With regards to Skruf, while they haven't registered with the FDA and their products should not be available to us in the US, it is well known that you can still get them.

You guys may be right on this, but a ban on flavors wouldn't affect Skruf would it?

Define "flavors". As always, I assume the most restrictive, oppressive interpretation when the government's involved. It has rose oil, and you know how crazy the kids are over rose... :^S

Could be a glitch too, who knows. I'll bet tomorrow will shed a little more light on the subject. I'm pretty sure it's not a NY thing, otherwise I would have already heard about it from our NY retailers. They keep me in the loop on Bloomberg's stupidity normally. Also, I'll place a few calls tomorrow and find out ;-)

Here is the previous thread I was referring to.

UPDATE: buysnus worked like a charm. Thanks for the tip lxskllr!
