Snus sent to us and back to sweden?

[clarkwilliam83]

I ordered from SnusCentral for the first time and it was sent from Sweden to Kentucky for customs clearance and sent back to Sweden. I just wanted to know if this is normal? Here is the UPS tracking info:

Probably just UPS routing. Maybe it's an efficiency thing for them. I know it doesn't sound like it but it's akin to flying from Boston to Atlanta with a stopover in Chicago. Sometimes that's cheaper.

Granted, it's odd they go through customs and all that.

No no no......it did not go back to Sweden

Notice the dates and the times

On the 28th it left the SnusCentral warehouse and by noon that day customs had it ……… …by 3 pm it was approved/cleared/and released for shipment to KY by customs and entered into the postal system at Jonkoping…………by 6pm it was on its way…...... it was routed through Malmo ...........and by the 29th it had made it to Germany


or something close to that.............regardless your snus is in Germany

No no no......it did not go back to Sweden

Notice the dates and the times

On the 28th it left the SnusCentral warehouse and by noon that day customs had the info in its system……… …………..by 3 pm it was in Jonkoping pending clearance for shipment to KY…………by 6pm it was approved/cleared/and released for shipment to KY by customs...... it was routed through Malmo ...........and by the 29th it had made it to Germany


or something close to that.............

note the customs info comes between the Swedish postal info and the release for international shipping.......that is really the only confusing part

Thanks for the clarification Snusdog! This is the first time I have ordered snus from Sweden so I was a little confused.

no problem bro

I actually edited my time line a bit just to make it a bit clearer.......

you should see your snus stateside in a day or two

It registers with clearing agency a lot usually. Around 3-6 times. Ups sends the info ahead of time, helps customs clear it faster i think

Yeah it is Germany right now. I have a shipment coming as well and looks to be in the same location as yours. If you look at your tracking number information you should see it at your place in two or three days.

Yeah it says it's supposed to be here Wednesday. It's amazing that SnusCentral can send it within 3 days but Northerner can't even send it in 3 months!!

I just noticed that you live in South Carolina. Where at if I may ask? I live in Clemson.

Nothing like an international order, UPS freakout, with a good ending to make your day! Your learning the hard way, you will be an expert at this soon.

My brother lived in Pickens for a few years. Not a bad little town. Lives in Charlotte, NC now.

Yes it is, every time I mention snus to someone around here they look at me like I'm crazy! I wish it would catch on around here so it would be easier to buy it locally. Do you know of any places in the upstate besides Boda Pipes that's fairly close to Pickens, Oconee, Anderson counties?

haha yea, I've had enough bad experiences with Northerner to never buy from them again unless they fix all of their problems. That and the price difference is crazy! I compared the two sites and even with $35 dollar shipping my SnusCentral order was about $100 less

Boda Pipes is the only one that comes to mind

Too bad some of the gas stations and tobacco huts have not started carrying it. Running snus through pipe shops is a bad idea IMO
