    i seriously dont even want to order from northerner now, the prices, and the bonus points bullshit, the damn hats not even on there anymore! and 149 points for a can of northerner energy snus! what the **** are they doing over there. im about to just do the getsnus order and skip northerner altogether based on principle, but ill be damned if they dont have me by the balls with my camel white, granit white, retro white, and claq qui, all cheaper than buysnus.

      F*** it I saw this coming :cry:
      Northerner has been my go to snus shop since I started a few months ago. Man I feel let down now though. I hate to do it, but it looks like my days of dealing with Northerner are coming to an end. Even if I get that odd can or two I just wanna try out that's not carried by Getsnus, the shipping probably wouldn't be worth it.
      And I'm in the market for rolls of my favorites too. Looks like my business will head elsewhere for that.

        yeah dude all i want from northerner is granit, retro, and the JTI camel. but the shipping for just 3 cans isnt even worth it. and what happened to the bonus points page, they had a bunch of cans for 60 points, now you can get thunder, general dry mini mint, or northerner energy for 149! half the items are gone, and the only thing i can get with my current 60 points is a ****ing jakobssons magnet. A MAGNET. what a letdown, i had myself pictured with my ettan hat, chillin on the river, hollerin at bitches, gettin drunk. now none of thats worthwhile without the hat! NOTHING IS. i guess ill send getsnus a product request for the things i want, hold out for them to get it, probably pay a dollar less for it.


        the hat was a real goal for me. i am distraught. and a little drunk.

          Once you get into rolls then BuySnus's 6th roll concept is nice

          Buy 5 rolls and get the 6th for 1/2 price.
          So you get 60 cans of snus for the price of 55.
          That works out to about 9% bonus premium.

          If you take advantage of the 6th roll deal, the true cost of that $34.22 General Portion roll above is $31.37. You just have to remember you get no bonuses for buying single cans.

            No problem at all. Whites normally hold up great past their exp. date, even unrefrigerated. I'm tempted to go for that deal myself; I prefer the regulars, but the whites are not bad at all.

              Not cool. Not cool at all.

              Just did a dummy run on an order I recently placed

              These are the results.

              General Portion 1
              Grovsnus White 1
              Knox Portion 1
              Skruf Portion 2
              Nick & Johnny 1

              Total = $ 47.02 (with shipping)

              The exacts same order was placed on the 3rd of August and included a can of Skruf Stark White and General Sterk (which I got using some of my bonus points)

              The total that time

              $42.93 (with shipping)

              So nearly $5 more expensive this time.

              The bonus points thing was one thing but the price jump is something else entirely.

              I think the bulk of my business will be going back to Buysnus - no more 50:50 split between the two companies..

                Guys, you might want to check out snuscentral. All their prices just dropped. My last order was $5 and change cheaper than Northerner would have been for the same stuff, plus lower shipping. A roll of LD portions was $18 and change.

                I've been a Northerner fan for almost a year. Partly for the prices mostly because I really like Frank, but with the economic situation I'm in price is a factor. I compare all 4 "big" shops with most orders. Most of my orders are single cans, not rolls, and buysnus is always higher, getsnus is great if I want what they carry, northerner usually wins, but this time snuscentral beat them all. Next order? Who knows?

                  TBD,

                  I just checked snuscentral on the order I placed yesterday with buysnus.
                  snuscentral was $0.62 cents more expensive. (it was close)

                  I also don't see any mention of points towards 6th roll @ snuscentral?

                    dude! i dont ****ing believe my eyes! northerners prices went up AGAIN since i posted this last night, onyx is up to 4.29 now. all the ones in my cart are now up from their prices last night, which were up from the night before, this is really ridiculous. what did a band of pirates steal one of their ships, wtf!

                    also: i got excited cause everything i want on is cheaper on snuscentral than even getsnus, except roda los. so i made a cart of all the things i want, which included the 3 whites i cant get at getsnus, and its a pretty good price, but i think the shipping at getsnus is unbeatable. anyways just those 3 cans compared snuscentral-13.31 to northerner-15.68. thats just the savings on 3 cans, guys. im sure if youre buying a lot it just racks up.

                        Just remember. Snuscentral is just a front end for Buysnus. Doubt their prices are any different than Buysnus

                          thats pretty weird, cause as i compared orders between northerner and buysnus last night, northerner had the edge. but snuscentral is way cheaper than northerner.

                            Check again.

                            All orders to Snuscentral go straight to Buysnus, that is who will send it out. Swedish-snus is just a front for Northerner too.

                              yeah i just checked man, i dont know why, but see for yourself, snuscentral has better prices.

                                You can go to BuySnus directly.
                                or
                                You can give your order to SnusCentral and they in turn give it to BuySnus.

                                SnusCentral is just acting as a salesman and are collecting a commission.
                                So the price bewteen going direct and going through the salesman should be about the same.

                                I don't think SnusCentral has the bonus points for the 6th roll deal so they may? pass some of the savings along and there may? be some minor differences in prices between the two but overall the prices should be pretty much the same between the two.
