    Shipping tips for new USA members

    To all of our new members here on Snuson who order from the USA (and potentially other parts of the world):


    Tips:

    1)Make your shipping decision wisely (SP - cost Vs. UPS - speed).

    2)Know that your delivery may take a while.

    3)Make small orders at a higher frequency to minimize loss if your package does get seized or lost in the mail. (All online snus stores that ship from Sweden have disclaimers stating that they are not responsible if your package is lost in the mail. Don't blame them if it happens).

    3a)Plan ahead so that if your delivery does take several weeks, you wont have to cry and bash the store you purchased from because you opted for the cheap shipping.

    _______________________________________________________ _____



    The bottom line is that shipping delays have nothing to do with the store you order from (unless the items ordered are backordered). They are caused by some sort of fart in the transportation system (be it SP or USPS).

    To title a post "Problems with <insert store name here>shipping" is all wrong. It is either a problem with Swedish Post, or more than likely, problems with US Postal Service.

    My orders typically take exactly 5 working days whether it is coming from Buysnus (Sweden), Northerner (Sweden), Toque (UK), V2 (Denmark)...


    I have had orders from all of the above mentioned shipping points take 5 days, I have also had shipments from all the above places take close to a month.

    It happens. If you don't want it to happen (for buyers within the US), use UPS. UPS typically shows up a day or two earlier than the typical Swedish Post delivery, however... You run a much higher risk of getting hung in customs/paying taxes.

    Thanks!

    Here Here Mr. X. You are 100% correct my dear. I'm kinda tired of seeing all the threads about how someones order is 30 minutes late. or whatever. The suppliers get your order out within 24 hours, after that its up the the shipper. I hope I've seen the last of that kind of thread. Thanks Mr.X, I should have thought to start this thread myself but just didn't think of it.

    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.

        LOL sagedil...

        He does speak truth, though... :wink: I would figure that there are quite a few people here who have never ordered anything from overseas before using snus. It's a risk we all take.

          The expensive shipping options are not worth the price. Buy in the bulk and select cheap shipping!

          I've never lost any snus, even when I order 10+ cans at a time.

            Using SP shipping the longest its taken to get here (Colorado) was 5 days, and that order was placed on the 21st of December. Average for me using SP is about 3-4 days.

                :lol: Nah, not cranky. I just thought I'd throw this up here since I'm seeing a lot of new faces.

                It wasn't meant to be one of my typical asshole posts, just an informative post mixed with a mild rant :wink:
