Garbage selection. It has the very basic General line (which is cool), and then a bunch of trash! No Claq Qui, N&J, General Sterk, Gottenborg's Rape', or any other popular snus!!! All the stuff on there besides the General stuff is irrelevant. They really need to add a few more products.

I think the main goal of the USA warehouse is to offer American brands to Europeans. It could also be to establish a physical presence in case of detrimental legislation. -
Yeah, it was never intended to be something to just get snus faster to folks in the US. Carrying a full selection, and maintaining that inventory is a huge commitment. Maybe one day but not for a long while I suspect.
The US warehouse was created exactly for the reasons lxskllr stated. Frank, from Northerner, posts and reads here when he can and he was very clear about what it's intended purpose. Because I don't use general, I have never used it. For a bit, they were stocking Triumph, but I missed that opportunity. They start to stock Discreet I will use it every month.
But completely unfair to condemn them for not doing something they never intended to do.
I suspect the US presence is the real driving force. Right now, just having General is ALL they need to accomplish that.Comment

Considering the General snus they sell there, its the same snus General is selling in US tobacco shops. This means they probably do not import the snus themselves, General's US supplier delivers it. If General decides to bring more brands to the US, or any other snus brand launches a US campaign, Northerner will likely add those to their warehouse.Comment

as long as I can get my beloved original portions quickly its cool with me. im happy ordering onyx and my other stuff from overseas as they tend to last longer.Comment

By the looks of it the USA warehouse can't move enough snus.
I get cans that are BEST BEFORE, 2 weeks after shipment. From sweden i would have 4 months to sit on all of my snus. I just wish they would get a strong portion, seems silly that they don't.Comment

For me, the Northener US warehouse is completly useless.
IF, and thats a big IF, I were to order lets say 1 roll of Gen Portion or WG it would cost me, with the cheapest shipping $40. Now that same roll at getsnus.com is $32.95. That savings of $7 bucks adds up to more snus in my fridge.
Just sayin. Northener's US warehouse might as well not exist. Hell, I even dip Grizzly on occasion...and I can get that cheaper at the local store...and I live in TAXahuesetts where tobacco is taxed up the arse. I dont know who they use for moist snuff, but they are getting ripped off...or are ripping us off. I know a lot of ya'll dont dip american smokeless...but I enjoy a dip probably every other day or so. And the other "stuff" they carry in the US warehouse...come on, does anyone actualy buy that crap? Please.

Northerner's warehouse was not designed for you. YOU are not the intended customer. The intended customer is really someone in Europe who wants American tobacco. But since they are doing it, I think they decided to have just enough snus inventory here so they can say they are present here when the laws all go screwy.
But Frank was very clear about why Northerner opened the US warehouse. See above comments, I think lxskllr already explained it in THIS thread. So not sure why folks in America are still bitching at Northerner for not doing what Northerner never intended the warehouse to do..
If they happen to sell some snus to Americans who just want fast shipment, then that is a bonus. But not the intention.

It is pretty cool that they are offering the people in europe american moist tobaccos! If not for them most of the people who are intrested in trying our Dips, would not have the resources to do so! SO round of applause for northerner!!Comment

See although I am not the intended customer if anyone who lives in North America happens to order anything that the US warehouse stocks it gets shipped from there even if that same item, say General Portion or WG, is also stocked in the Swedish warehouse. If you were to order something else that's not stocked in the US as well in that same order you get charged with two seperate shipping charges. This is what annoyed me.
So regardless of its intention, we are being affected by should be chose to order from them. God forbid people complain about something that botheres them. Shame shame.Comment

Frank sad the separate shipping problem was fixed like 3 months ago. How much longer are people gonna keep complaining about a problem that existed for like 2 weeks, was fixed right away, and the company itself came here to tell us it was fixed.
Just asking. God forbid people get ther facts straight before they post their complaints to the world.
Got anything else you want to bitch about Northerner as that is clearly all you are doing here. It is getting old fast. Please stop.
http://www.snuson.com/viewtopic.php?...ghlight=#61803Originally posted by Northerner.comWe have now updated the system so that if you order a few cans of General but most of the brands from the Swedish warehouse - everything will be sent from Sweden. This is to ensure that no one have to pay additional shipping cost for a split order.
Thank you guys for telling me

Not to stir the pot, Sage, but here's another quote from that thread:
A lot of us were very pleased by the idea of having a large selection over here.Originally posted by Northerner.com
But I agree that the main reason was to get the US stuff over there as initially stated.Comment

Yes, that was the reason they originally set it up that way, but then changed it after folks complained.
Now, there doesn't seem to be any way to force a double shipping order. If folks do want to get the general fast, it appears they need to put in an order JUST for the US based stuff, then put in an order for the rest. The moment you add stuff that is only from Sweden, the entire order gets shipped from Sweden. At least for snus.
As for Northerner's eventual plans to expand selections for us here in the states, that would be nice. But that was not the first reason the warehouse here was set upComment
