Getsnus No More

[PipenSnus]

What about Goteborg's Rape, I hear is flowery/fruity. Can anybody actually verify this?

The only fruit I taste in GR is lemon. It's herbal, but not flowery.

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?


(It's Frederik)


Ok................ now that that's straight.........what's all this about lunch

I was at "said lunch" as well, and he's right Frank is a very genuine, friendly and honest person. It was a pleasure to sit and have lunch and beer with him, and baberbarber, and Mick Hellwig (TBD was his moniker here). All good people. The rest is top secret and you people just couldn't bear to hear the master plan anyway, so I won't waste your time, lol

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!

Pretty sure he was referring to your "noobieness" in regards to your snus use, not forum use. I may be wrong, but I'm usually NOT...soooooo . A good los you ask?? General los, LD original los and the holy grail of los IMO is Grov lossnus. Gotta love Grov!!!!! Oh, and welcome to the site

I second that Daruckis - I almost spit out my coffee when I read snusdogs post!

Fredrik, well, yesterday you told me this:

Interesting conspiracy theories, haha. Some less "insightful" than others.

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?

Sixth. No, we're most certainly not closing down GetSnus.

I'm sure there will be more to come.

Today you sent me this:

As of yesterday (May 11th) GetSnus.com is operated by Northerner Scandinavia AB / Northerner Scandinavia Inc. We are currently in the middle of making the transition to a new e-store system and, as such, you may encounter a few problems. We deeply apologize for any lack of communication during this change but this was simply not up to us do decide.

If you have a pending back order, we will unfortunately have to ask you to place your order again as the former operators of GetSnus had the policy of not charging your card until the item was actually in stock. Since we understand this is an inconvenience for you we will give you a coupon which will grant you a 15% discount on up to $500 on your order (max discount $75). The coupon can be found below and is valid until May 31st.

I do not like to be mislead like that!!!! You said you would honor the back orders at the original price. Today you changed your mind. Shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no way to reenter the order at the original price.

Replied in the other thread Whalen.

[Zanaspus]

Thank you Fredrik! That was quite painless. I did add a few cans that Getsnus did not offer to my backorder. I hope you won't hold that against me.

[whalen]

Fredrik, read your reply in the other thread, thank you for your response. Thank you for taking time to help me with this, and sorry to vent so. I am sure that the previous owners have left you in a tough position, and the efforts to make a transistion has to be daunting. The loss of Getsnus, to me, is somewhat devastating, yet enevitable due to the changing regulatory climate. The efforts to establish a full time USA presence are appreciated, and will in the long run benefit all of us in this forum. It is also good business sense. I have had problems with internet sales before, but not like this. I wish you the best of luck with all of this.

Once again thank you for your efforts and welcome to the community.

No, that's an F&L brand, and they've decided not to compete in America. If you like it, I'd start stocking up.

Someone familiar with all the brands should make a list of what won't be available once PACT goes into effect. I'm not that familiar with all the brands to make one, otherwise I would.
