    ahh Canada customs, the unpredictable Nazis, just got a small package, 3 cans to be exact, and it passed with no hassle, had another package about a week ago for another member here to ship to him, 7 cans, napped for 80$ and some change, it is still there waiting, I really feel sorry for him and for all that good snus but 80$ for me is also steep for 7 cans.

    The keyword here is as said before small packages no more than 3-4 and with 4 you might be pushing your luck. Order from PP and you will be happy. I discussed this with Fred from Northerner a while back and we came to the conclusion that customs know the company and logo, maybe who knows !!!!

      This morning I ordered a roll of boost and realized afterwards that I wanted a few more cans added to the order.. So, I used their ticket system to tell them the cans i wanted to order. I told them to bill the same card and gave rhem autorization to do so..Now, we know it has not shipped because it's the weekend so it will be a good test to see if they can handle a simple customer service request...

      I will report back with a pass or fail...
      I could be way off but I don't think it will work because they go through a third party to process their credit card payments. I have a feeling that they are able to do this but not easily.

        I did the same thing a while back, the reply was I can substitute whatever I want before shipping, with anything of equal or lesser value and if lesser value no refund can be issued

          Hey bud...

          I thought about that also but that could be rectified with a simple phone call to my number that they have on file or a link to pay the cost for the extra cans.. Either way, I think it represents a good test to see if their customer service can handle a simple add request to an order that has days before anything happens to it..

          I am not bashing them... I just thought since I had a current request with them it was a good fit for this thread.. Hope that makes sense.. I have faith but from what most people on here are saying, It looks bleak...

            Yes. If anything, it will be interesting to see what happens.

                Doh! That's a little weak. I'd love to see the process from Northerner's side. There's got to be a way around these little issues. Computers can work magic at the speed of light. It's just a matter of harnessing the power.

                  lxskllr...lol...it was weak..

                  here's the kicker... it was an ADD order!! Every business in the world can do that... It's more money for them..

                  As Larry David would say that was pretty,pretty,pretty,pretty,pretty,pretty,weak......

                  Peace...

                    Hey Maher ! Whats PP ? I have looking arund for a solution to this problem. I used to order 14 cans at a time and never got customs charges for the longest time , and it was with swedish-snus.com (Northerner and Swedish-snus are the same company ). Now I get customs charges on orders with 2 cans in them for 20 bucks ! Its rediculous ! Also , I can order a free roll now , but im terrified of ordering it , as it might end up costing me 90 bucks !

                          never had a shipment problem.....yet. I have shipped pretty much all over the world. I do take some xtra steps to make sure customs doesn't mess with your package tho. So far its working. Let me know if you need snus.
                          Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





                          I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.
