    All this deserves a response of course and I'll try to answer any questions you may have.

    First of all, someone mentioned us (Northerner) buying out the little guy. That's sorta funny to read since GetSnus.com was owned by Cigars International which is a company 10 times the size of us, and they in turn are owned by Swedish Match, who are 100 times bigger than us. Their reasons to get out of the online snus business is theirs and theirs alone. Your guess is as good as mine.

    Secondly, regarding back orders. They will all be honoured of course, but due to technical issues you won't be able to see them on your accounts. We have all the info saved however and you will get your orders at the price agreed upon. All customers with pending orders will be contacted within the next few days.

    Thirdly, regarding the "old" GetSnus pricing and free shipping. As I mentioned above, GetSnus was owned by Swedish Match, and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand that their purchasing prices may have differed somewhat to ours... I can tell you this though, there is no way to stay in business for us with that pricing and those shipping terms. The 5th can free is something we're looking into, and at this stage it looks as though we'll keep that. Again, some technical aspects to sort out before I can tell you more about that.

    Fourth, what GetSnus and their staff has communicated regarding their stock/inventory isn't something we've had any control over.

    Fifth. Chad. Haha, are you serious? What would his part in this be? The mastermind behind the whole deal?

    I'm sure there will be more to come.
    Thanks for the info!

        What about the removable can lid? That was the best feature of the site.

          We did all we could on that one, worked day and night. But to no avail, we just couldn't save it:-(

            You mean the Ashtray thingy? Isn't that something that Swedish Match did and not necessarily something that the GetSnus.com team did on their own? It will be something that Frederick I'm sure can look in to, but I think we still have a great thing going here. Remember, I don't "hate" Northerner, I just liked GetSnus.com for the mystery can thing alone. I have far more than enough money to cover shipping, it isn't that that bothers me. As long as Frederick does his best to keep some semblance of the site there, I think snus will be just fine. And he has good prices on American dip if all else goes south Just kidding, I've read the bill, as long as there is a legitimate setup in the United States, then importation prices won't be out the ass and Frederick can serve all Americans. Thanks for that man!

              lmao, seriously. Don't you know that Chad himself is poised to take over the entire snus universe? From now on there will be just one snus called C.H.A.D.

                  Well, the dip and chew I can buy locally.

                  Overall, I'm not against any of this. Just interesting news.

                    ROFL! That is a silly thing indeed, but I am glad that Frederick came in here personally to quell some superstition and concerns. That does show that he knows what is going on, at the very least. He's been planning for PACT for some time I'm sure, and this was probably planned for some time also.

                    Frederick, just make sure those delicious as hell Swedish Match products make it in. And Skruf! And anything else. Good luck handling the technicalities of this bill. Do you have some legal team to help you out?

                      So Fredrik does this mean you guys are feeling pretty comfortable about the PACT act moving forward? Will things still be semi affordable compared to current prices?

                        I just need to say, once again, that The Northerner has been my store since the start of my snus'n. They have always done a great job and when they have messed up it is more than taken care of. So for those of you who have never dealt with them, do not worry. You are now going to be dealing with the premier snus shop in the world. I can attest that there is a reason they got to be that.
                        Northerner and Fredrick FTW

                          Yeah, I have to concede that Chad and Mastermind doe not belong in the same sentence!!!! Thanks for coming online to answer everyone's questions Fredrik, Not happy about how this was handed though, I have been a long time customer of both companies. Loosing Getsnus is not the same feeling as gaining a Chad, I can tell you this much. I am just real sad right now-----

                            So where can I go to order Snus in the US? They have my order backordered, and I would rather not use Getsnus or Northerner. This was a very bad way to take over a company. I can't even call them to cancel my backorder to order something else!

                            Is there any other website that I can order from and get fast shipping? Getsnus would arrive via USPS three days after I ordered it.

                            I am on my last can, HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

                              I see they have those SnusX sets, the Menthol set interests me. I've wondered why no one has made just a straight up menthol snus, everything seems to be mint, which is not the same.

                                Mint is good too. Catch Eucalyptus is pretty much menthol if you would like to try that.
