    I agree that they suck, but what's with the high fee? If you got expedited shipping that's actually pretty cheap.

        People crap on USPS, but I think they have some of the best service in the business. The prices aren't bad, and the speed is pretty quick. I hate UPS. They abuse packages, and generally take longer than any other shipper.

          I have to agree with you about USPS. I have always felt their prices have been much better than UPS or Fedex and they sometimes exceed expectations (although I keep them pretty low).

            That's what scares me so badly about the PACT act. If I had to rely on UPS or FedEx for my snus I'd give up snusing or make my own.

              For about half of the price, I'd say use USPS Priority. 5 days is about the longest that you'd wait for any shipment, and you get Saturday deliveries to boot! :lol:

                I have no problem with USPS. They've never messed with any of my snus orders and they almost always arrive earlier than I expect them to.

                I know that the postal service isn't very popular, but I prefer to use it over FedEx or UPS when I can. Lower prices, very reliable in my experience. I've entered the digital age (I've got a gmail account), but a large part of my friendly correspondence is still done via post. I'm of the opinion that handwritten correspondence needs to make a come back.

                And seriously, stamp prices have gone up but I'm not bitching. At the end of the day, 42 cents just doesn't feel like much of a rip-off when the letter I send arrives at it's destination two days later (usually, sometimes three).

                So yeah, props to the United States and Swedish posts. They've been good to me.

                  Being as my dad retired from the USPS after 35 years, although he wasn't a carrier he drove a big rig from the main PO to the branches, I'm a huge supporter of them! Yes they can be a tad slow at times, but it's usually during holidays, and I blame the greeting card companies for this...lol!

                  When I ship packages I always choose USPS. You can't beat the prices and it's usually quicker than UPS.

                  That being said, UPS has never done me wrong when shipping from getsnus. I usually order on thursday and receive the package by monday or tuesday.

                  Swiss post gets to me anywhere from 8-10 days and that's coming from Sweden and half the price of UPS! To me it's a no brainer...UPS is always my last resort. 8)

                    The only issue I have with USPS is their weak-ass tracking system; other than that, I prefer to use them for all of the smaller packages I send/receive. They also take WAY better care of the packages than UPS or FedEx.

                      I have not been able to log back in for a day after changing my email address.
                      I would of had her send USPS but there is a change of address on the house up here and it would of rerouted back down to MO.I did not think it would be so much to send a small box UPS or I would of made do.My wife said I was worth it though.

                        Just a comment on my local UPS provider. Here is my story. I needed to send a package to a member on here.
                        So I got there package filled with the gift I wanted to send.
                        Labeled with Friends address. Overseas EU close to the Black Sea or somewhere over there.
                        Went to local UPS store, handed the Lady the package, and was told we don't go there.
                        BS I thought UPS went everywhere. Anyway she refused the package.

                        I then went to Fed-Ex. They said they only ship documents out of the US. No insurance no tracking.

                        So guess what I had to send it in the mail.

                        How do Ya'll over there get stuff if not by UPS or Fed-ex.
                        I know Northerner ships UPS and People say they get their stuff.
                        I think the Lady just was misinformed they don't go to ROW MANIA.

                          Thanks a lot Snakes :^)

                          Cannot forget to mention about the gift and your generosity :^) and can't wait to taste the chew

                          they're misinformed ... UPS , DHL , Fed Ex all work in Romania and they are world wide....... maybe some small states in Asia or Africa don;t have these services..............

                            That whole 5-day thing is kinda ridiculous. I get my orders from Buysnus in 3 days. and that only costs about $25. But hey, you got your snus to last you the few extra days. I say pop a portion or pack a pris and enjoy it instead of worrying about the UPS bill

                              Totally agree. I've been using Premiumsnus.com lately and I'm paying $20 for UPS Worldwide Express. It gets to me in 3 days also. Their prices are super low. I don't give a damn about a UPS bill. I'm getting cheap snus and cheap, fast shipping. My last order from premiumsnus shipped on Friday and was in my hands on flippin' Monday!
