We are the David, fighting everyday against the Goliath's in the US...and we do it to provide the US market with a variety of snus brands, so that when they stop (and they will) internet sales of tobacco...we won't be stuck with just General brands.

Good news on the short term but this part troubles me. Like I told you in my PM, the local store's selection is sporadic at best. While they do carry Jakobsson and Thunder, I never know if they will have the ones I like. Do you deal with Boda Pipe in SC or does someone else do it? They need to carry the Classic in Jakobsson. My regular rotation is Classic, Wintergreen, Mint, and Thunder Frosted.

Yes, Boda buys from our distributor. One thing you need to remember is that while their selection might be sporadic, I'm betting it's because their sales are sporadic too. They will stock what they sell, and if they don't carry a brand or style.....ask them to do so. If I'm a retailer and my customers ask me for a specific product enough times...I'll be more inclined to carry it ;-)

Glad to hear it rick. Due to the inherent nature of us being addicts, it sucks double bad when things get fubar'd

Thanks for the update Rick, and for you guys buying at a B&M, you should talk to them about special orders. Buy a whole roll, and I'm sure they'd throw anything you'd like on their next order. I used to do that with rolling tobacco. You get what you want, and they're guaranteed to have it when you get there. No driving for a half hour, only to find they're out of what you want.

Hey Rick, I went up to Stinson's Market in Hanover, NH. They had a pretty limited selection...I asked the girl about getting in Jakobsson's Flader, and she said that she couldn't. I wonder why that is? Theoretically, can't they get in anything from the Northerner U.S. warehouse? I would think that the new Jakobsson's Melon would sell very well...if I could that there, I'd be very happy.

Sidenote, it's good to hear that everything is getting worked out. I'd like to support Northerner with my next order.

Rick,

Thanks for the post and the very thorough explanation..................I bet the past few weeks have absolutely sucked for you guys.

Anyway...............I hope brighter days are in front of us all.

Oh ……….and Rick…………..I wonder if you guys could inform the B&M shops that buy from you that they can make special orders for folks (if indeed they can). In fact I would think that the special orders would be kind of like your season ticket holders……………and the can by can sales would be sales at the ticket window.

Anyway………thanks for all you guys are doing

Thanks for the update Rick, Much Appreciated, But

I have an important question though,

You stated that the last 5 shipments have been sitting in a UPS bonded warehouse... Northerner has been out of stock on may items for well over a month or more...

When Northerner does get the stock that has been sitting in that warehouse will they be shipping out the old or near date snus first thats been getting old in that warehouse?

My concern is that if I place an order I will be getting mostly old or near date snus that they want to get rid of first instead of the fresher snus...

Fair question, but most of this order goes directly to our distributror. We already have other shipments in route, they should hit the bonded warehouse the same time that these shipments will leave it. Besides, these "held" shipments should be well within the "best buy" dates.

Wow Thanks for telling us the truth rick.... or a damn good lie. :P Your statement saying what actually is going on, instead of keeping me/us in the dark about it has made me very happy.(i wish more companies would do this)
It sorta made up for the delay and the acid reflux copenhagen has been giving me lol.
Thanks again, I'll be making plenty more orders from the behemoth in days to come.

Resnor....hey brother, Stinson's may order everything through their corporate office. This is typical of chain stores. They buy everything through the corp office and then distribute everything to the rest of their shops internally. I'll do some checking and see what I can find out for you.

Welp! It's Friday and still no stock.... Oh! Wait there is free shipping until Sunday the 19th.... Wanna take bets they will be fully stocked on Monday the 20th?

Product arrived late yesterday, and they are still getting shipments from the bonded warehouse. Once it's all checked into inventory, the site will be updated. Soooooo, sure...I'll take that action ;-)
