    Just did a mock between northerner and snuscentral in 4 rolls of Jaks melon, and 5 cans Skruf stark los. Northerner was almost $30 cheaper...

      I believe you auto get a discount just for signing up for an account on northerner now. And you keep getting more discounts with that slightly harder to decipher rewards program. I did my look at northerner late last night so i wasn't much for hopping around sites price shopping but northerner's price on jak's was considerably lower than buysnus.

      Also i sent you a pm but believe you have me blocked now.

        This is what I'm coming up with:


        Northerner:

        Product
        Subtotal
        General Tailored, 16g, White Portion Snus
        10 - $39.70
        Shipping
        $29.51
        Grand total
        $69.21

        BuySnus:
        General Tailored White Portion
        10 - 43.14
        Freight:
        28.75
        Order total:
        71.89

        So yeah, Northerner is a few bucks cheaper. I haven't ordered from them since PACT, so I dunno what their delivery time is. I know BuySnus is usually 2 days.

        I may have to place a Northerner order soon just to see if they've gotten any quicker. It would make sense that they're shipping the same way as BuySnus they should have a 2 day delivery time as well. I think what's crucial is order turn around time, not delivery time. UPS is a non-factor, but how quick the warehouses handle the orders is the biggest factor.

        I'm interested to see more about this or hear other people's stories about delivery times. Maybe they've made some changes and improved.

          I think word from PP is pretty trustworthy. What im starting to like about them is that they have all the odens i've wanted to try. I honestly wasn't ware that burned apple or the ginger lime or regular lime was actually being sold, along with quite a few other things i have never heard of/seen for sale. I see a small order from me in the near future if they can keep having a good track record.

            the general tailored from northerner shipped to me is $60.07, from buysnus its $67.97 shipped.

            Could it be the buyers location? Is their points system set up and we don't know about it? Chads and my order should be the same cost.

            All I know for sure is that one much price check the cost of the snus and shipping before placing an order. Shipping time is almost exact...tho a lot depends upon the time of day you place your order. Google Sweden time and order early in the morning.
            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.

              The Northerner did (on one occasion) with me say: that they could not add or delete an item from my cart. They seemed to be adamant about it.

              I assumed it was a software issue (and I still believe that is the case) so it was no big deal with me.

              I stand by everything else I've said re their product content/prices/and amazing fast shipping.

              To this day (aside from their inability to change my cart) I will never be able to figure out how they can possibly send me an order from Sweden (no warning labels) to Massachusetts in forty eight hours.

              Dan
              A few orders they did let me do that and refunded me what those cans cost. Sometimes they sent out exactly what was in stock and delivered the rest later. Other times i had to try to bribe them. Telling them to just send what they had and keep the rest for office staff/hand it out to strangers on the street/ whatever and they just wouldn't do it. Sounds like they have turned it around though. I'll feel it out a little longer and place an order if all is still going well.

                They hate Arkansas. It's nothing new, nobody likes us anyway.

                That's crazy that it's so much cheaper for you. Is it the shipping, or the price per can?

                They do carry a very large selection. if you read my reviews, a lot of the newer offbeat stuff, like AG, or Lundgren's, or a variety of Oden's, or various odds and ends, I order from Northerner. They seem to carry everything.

                  This might explain the difference in costs between chad and I. I haven't used any of my points since the last time I checked this page in the link below there was no content to explain anything. So I haven't used up any points that I know of. But now there is. Take a look.....things could get even better. IDK....but hopefully

                  note this!!!!
                  We’re currently updating our customer reward system and will be launching 2014 bonus scheme within the next couple of weeks. Whilst we’re busy getting everything prepared you’re still able to cash in your collected gold point


                  for some reason the price per roll is lower than your cost $35.80. The cost to ship is $29.51 but it says I get a ups discount of $5.41 so shipping ends up being $24.27. I have no idea how or why tho.....but I like it.

                    I did in fact read up a few reviews from you on stuff i had never had/heard of. Lab 13 sounds pretty interesting I just wish it actually did have some kind of energy supplement to it.

                      Yeah it's going to be interesting, I have a can coming today or tomorrow to review.

                      I'm bummed it's not an actual energy snus. Old timers will remember Elixyr "Cat-Piss" Energy. I think Sage & I were the only fans of that stuff, but it did the trick in the morning!

                        If this confuses anyone then its easy to price check the cost of the snus and shipping together against northerner and buysnus [check with SC as well if you want] Go for the cheapest price for the snus and shipping. The customer service is about the same....depending upon the time of day you place your order it can take between 2 and 3 days to get to you from either of the vendors.

                        I always price check between the vendors and I buy from whichever is cheaper...since the delivery time is about the same.

                          Glad that they're reviewing that rewards program. It was hard to understand. I do like Northerner's progressive shipping cost system; cost goes down the larger your order.

                            OK I think I found out why the price difference. Northerner is discounting based upon your points. You may check this by pricing a snus while you are logged out and then check the price of the same snus after you log back in. Effectively, as soon as you log in your discount is applied to all products. For some reason I'm still a gold member.

                            Keep an eye on the points page in the link I posted.

                            And yea Andy, northerners shipping costs go down the more you buy.

                              Wow!

                              I didn't expect to see so many SnusOn members roll over to have their tummies tickled once more after having been kicked in the balls so many times.

                              This is the sort of post I would expect to be seeing if SnusOn were about to start selling advertising in fact.

                              Having said that - my last order to Northerner for 3 cans of Jakobssons Dynamite and 2 cans of dip got to me in the UK within about 2 weeks with no errors or out of date cans. But I'm not about to start singing Hallelujah.

                              Sometimes wrong and sometimes right .... but ALWAYS certain!!!

                                snuson has decided at this time to not sell advertising.

                                Its apparent that northerner is working hard for your business. When they lower prices the other vendors will follow suit. That's good for all the members. Most all of the problems were related to their new website and they seem to be ironed out now. I never really had any issues with them [other than taking my points away.] They consistently have the lowest price for snus and shipping for me so now its a no brainer where I should buy from.....tho I still price check both northerner and buysnus because one never knows whats on sale at any given moment.

                                Note; members from other countries may have different pricing but what I have expressed is from my experience from the last few months of ordering snus. Your mileage my vary.
