    Shipping cost ruin a small order

    I just used some bonus points on northerner to get 4 cans of skruf los. I like it but mainly was an excuse to get a can of taboca to try. When I got to the shipping part it was over 8 bucks to ship my order. It came out to 11.68 for the total. But, I guess 5 cans for less than 2 bucks isn't such a bad deal.

    You have to play around with quantities when ordering. Many times it doesn't make sense to make a small order due to shipping cost. I never make small orders. I usually buy rolls, then add singles of snus I want to try.

      Keep in mind it was lös. Lös cans weigh almost twice that of portions.

        Yeah, you guys are right,so far though it looks like the snus I like most is carried by getsnus. I just wish getsnus carried goteborg rape, gustavus, and thunder. They are the three I like most that getsnus doesn't carry. So I will order these three by the roll.

          Getsnus carries some Goteborgs and Thunder. No Gustavus though.

            I think he meant lös. Getsnus only has those in portion.

              This is true of most anything you buy where shipping cost is involved.
              Sometimes it's just not worth it to buy in small quantities.

                Yep, there really isn't any way around that. I have never ordered anything less than 10 tins from anybody; that is the minimum to make it worthwhile with the shipping cost, as far as I'm concerned.

                  Oh well then. All I can figure is getsnus has their own private fleet of delivery vehicles. I'm sure a $100 plus order has got to have some weight to it.

                    Large order/free shipping offers make their money through quantity. It encourages people to spend their money with them, as opposed to one of the other good snus sellers.

                      I just placed my 3rd order. This time with Buysnus, because they had the next ones I wanted to try, only 7 tins - 26.11 USD for product, 4.84 for shipping. Not too bad I think. I'll definately place larger orders when I narrow down my favorites, still a noobie here. All I know is this is good chit, (9 days = no cigs!)
