    I hate to see getsnus go because of their cheap and fast shipping. Other than shipping i never found anything better about them than buysnus or northener.

    buysnus has always had the best communication for the five years i been using snus. Northerner has always had the best selection. Northerner has never ever done me wrong on an order. Well they have sent me the wrong snus several times but they always made good on it without ever giving me a hard time. every single time I had a problem with buysnus or northerner they made it good. There have been plenty of times they had no way to verify what i was complaining about was true but they took my word and made it good. A few times it was costly to THEM to do so.

    A few times I complained to Getsnus and except for one time that they made good, nothing was done other than "sorry". At first I was very glad getsnus started selling because with laws changing i wanted a way to get my snus. Getsnus has sent me short dates (days left) and even expired dates when the snus was sold as "fresh". except for a few times their mystery can was always something i would never buy, so worthless to me.

    I hate to pay the higher shipping but my guess is all getsnus was was a way for swedish match (and swedish snus in general) to take root in the states. Just like what swedishsnus.com was when it first started. For a while swedishsnus.com (was owned by swedish match) sold a roll of snus WITH UPS shipping for $35. All one has to do is do a little math to figure out that was not profitable except to establish snus in the states (and other parts of the world as well). So now $2.95, $4.95 and free shipping has gone the way of the $35 w/UPS roll. So I will cry and whine but i know it's just business. I just hope that northerner will not get tied up in instant profits to the point of slowing down the propagation of snus.

    maybe it has already been talked about here and i missed it but i am willing to bet that buysnus will join with northerner in some way to be able to keep selling to the states. It may be like getsnus did but my gut tells me it will be more of an alliance of some sort.

    The end. Over and Out.

          Hold on a second..............is no one going to comment on this?

          You had lunch with Frank??? You can't just drop that in the middle of a post and then move on.

          We need the skinny

          However, before you go on let's make sure we are all clear on one detail.............. you do realize that the guy in the little brown truck that brings the snus to your door is not Frank don't you?

          Ok................ now that that's straight.........what's all this about lunch
          When it's my time to go, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my uncle did....... Not screaming in terror like his passengers

              I've always bought bulk, because I want what I want, when I want it. I may not use a roll of 1 thing in a month, but if I have 6 different rolls, I have plenty of variety to fit every mood. Barring special offers, I only ordered in the cold weather months. That way I knew my snus wouldn't be sitting around hot for a few days.

                You guys think there's any way I can talk Northerner into transferring my bonus points over to GetSnus now?

                  Hmm... Is my sarcasm meter broken? Why would you use Getsnus now? I'd just go directly through Northerner.

                    Actually it appears that get snus is about 6-7 cents cheaper per can.

                      Eh, prices are a bit cheaper with GetSnus and I feel Northerner may be planning on making the site their base for US sales after PACT. Plus it'll be way less of a headache than Northerner where you'll have to sort through all of the stuff you can't buy in the US anymore. It still pisses me off looking at Lucky Strike every time I buy from Northerner as it is. Once I have to look at all of the F&L goodies I can't get anymore I may go insane.

                        I hope it doesn't vary over time amongst brands. It'll make trying to get an order together tedious. Well, Getsnus has Grov and Ettan cheaper, but I want some Gotland too, and that's better at Northerner. Hmm... Buysnus is pretty close in price also, and I can still get LD from them... :^D

It took me like a year and half to order a roll, thinking WTF would I need with TEN of these?? Now I go through a roll of my favorite snus every 2 weeks. I strongly suggest that you buy 4 or 5 rolls of Claq at least. Hell, buy 10. If for some reason you don't like it later, sell or trade the

                          I bought a roll of Claq Qui on my second order. I'm not dumb, nor a noob to forums...but for MY personal tastes, I just don't do that much snus. That's what I was referencing I suppose. A tin lasts me about a week, mainly because I alternate. The E.S.'s last me even longer. Maybe I will get a second claq qui 10-pack, or a third, but I'm worried about freshness at that rate I guess. Remember, they are discontinued. Maybe I WILL! LOL, world domination on the Claq Qui market! Muhahahahahaha! Got any recommendations for a los that doesn't taste bitter? I know about Loda Racket. What about Goteborg's Rape, I hear is flowery/fruity. Can anybody actually verify this?

                          And thanks for the welcome!

                            Right, addressing some questions.

                            1) Mystery can. Likely, have to do the math a little more before I can give you an answer. Giving away 20% is a whole lot, even for Dr Evil companies like ours;-) But we will sort something out.

                            2) 5-rolls. Will also most probably happen. But you'll have to give us a few weeks to get that sorted out.

                            3) Pricing. GetSnus is currently somewhat cheaper than Northerner.com and will most probably stay that way. Again, it's a matter of math and being able to operate at a profit (shipping to the US, labelling it with US warnings, warehousing, staff and so on makes a US sold can of snus A LOT less profitable for us than one sold over here).

                            4) Selection. We'll carry everything we legally can in the US warehouse. If it's not there within the next few weeks, then it's becasue we simply can't sell it there under the new legislation (I believe there are a number of threads here discussing this already).

                              1. Is everything listed on the GetSnus site going to be shipped from the US?

                              2. Are you going to offer the Oomph product line?

                                1. Yes. GetSnus will reflect our US warehouse inventory.

                                2. Yes, as soon as all the paperwork is done!
