Buysnus.com - Post PACT Act

[skyline142]

So, I have been a huge fan of Buysnus.com since my very first order of snus about 7 months ago. And have just had nothing but seriously great great great experiences with them. Any problems I have, just they replace, for free! Free fridgemate, replacement General Bulletproof can, and out of all my orders, I just missed one can, which they of course shipped for free to me. They have been absolutely great, and I would wait an extra week to get my orders from Buysnus than convert to Northerner. I am not sure why, but Northerner just, idk, there is something about it that just scares me. It literally scares me, I hate doing anything on that site. I like Buysnus 10 for 7 deal, not 10 get two free. The point system on Buysnus is great! 5 points gets you a roll half off. Well, considering even if my referrals buy a roll, I get a point for that too! About once a month I get a roll half off JUST from people I referred ordering. Its PERFECT! I even made business cards for this place. But I am nervous after PACT Act, I wont have the money to pay the crazy charge to ship UPS from Sweden.. If they had a US warehouse, that would be perfect. I'd love it.

Ugh. Guys, I am stressin here.

I don't know tbh. The bulk of my orders went through Buysnus, but second in line was Northerner. You should give them a try. When I started snusing Buysnus was the best place to buy rolls, and Northerner was the best for singles. That's why I used Buysnus, I pretty much always get rolls. I'm not sure how that works now, I think the prices are just about equal. Keep in mind also, Northerner gives you a free roll when you buy 10 rolls. That's pretty much the same as Buysnus(but you have to wait longer for payoff), and singles will count towards that unlike Buysnus' program. I like both companies a lot. I have a large stock of snus, so I'll be watching how other people's orders are handled post PACT to see how it all works.

I am getting an order ready to fire off.

Here is how the same order breaks down per site

Snuscentral (augmented by Northerner) 360.05
Buy Snus (augmented by Getsnus) 355.90
Northerner only 348.94
Getsnus (augmented with Northerner) 321.41

*augment = snus not offered on one site ordered from another site
** These orders factor in and make full use of the bonus system offered by each site. They also include shipping charges.

Frank please note that a shared bonus points system between Getsnus and Northerner would place getsnus even further ahead of the pack. With my Getsnus order I left 500 points on the table at Northerner unused, have no Getsnus points to apply, and still came out significantly ahead. Shared points would be a dagger to the competition.

So instead of checking with the programmers to see what they can do........... go remind them that they work for you and that you will be happy to find programmers who can get the job done if they can not.

One more point.

The Buysnus order above does not include the snuff included in the others. Thus in all reality the Buysnus order to be exactly even would require further augmentation and an additional $20 or so. Thus around ~$375

But it was not worth it to me for the few tins I was picking up so I just left them off

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

The one thing I really like about buysnus (if I remember correctly) is how they show you exactly how much more you can add to the order before the shipping goes up. That is sweet!

I don't know why you are scared of Northerner. They are great. Give them a try.

i agree northener is top notch in my book i have never had any problems with them at all

[skyline142]

Well, my main concern is about every other roll i get a roll half off, mainly because of referrals. So in my case, Buysnus is always much cheaper than Northerner. But, Ill stick with buysnus till we see how this whole PACT act thing unravels.

[skyline142]

But, its weird when you did all that adding stuff, yours came out cheaper for other places. Ive done the same for Northerner and Buysnus, and for me, Buysnus has always been cheaper. Except for the buy 4 rolls of Goteborgs get one free. But even if I do the buy 10 for the price of 7 deal on Buysnus, then add two, then go to northerner and do the buy 10 get two free, the average price even is cheaper for buysnus. Its change, but.. idk, it adds up. Im just, idk, I guess I am probably being dramatic, but at a time like this... idk who isnt.

[Snusdog]

Yea I'm doing mainly rolls (which in the past Buysnus was my main site and a good bit less). But somewhere in the past year that changed. At least for what I am ordering. But you are right If you have got a bunch of people signed up for the half roll thing then it will be well worth your time to stick it out. Regardless my experience with both suppliers is A+ and I have no problem using either/both

Post-Pact Act?

I got the weekly special email from them this morning. Sounds like the BuySnus we know will change June 22nd. After that date everything going to the states will have taxes added and be shipped UPS from Europe.

I don't see how they are going to pull off the tax collection for all 50 states. Without a presence in the US I don't see how they are going to pull it off.

Pure conjecture on my part, but what I expect is that they will collect for a few states (those that allow it and have a process in place) + Federal. Then they will stick a sticker on the package that makes it clear that if you didn't pay the taxes during the transaction that you must do so yourself. Then they will make available to the tax authorities of each state the transactions conducted with people in that state.

[Snusdog]

It will be interesting to see how all this plays out............if it is contested..............if the Seneca Nation takes it to court................how the states will respond (I mean there are 4 or 5 folks here on the forum from SC even if there are another 600 in the state that use snus, is the state going to set up an entire system to collect taxes from just 605 people?)...........maybe something is already in place that our snus taxes can be folded into...............who knows....................but I've got a year and a half worth stashed so I can sit back and watch it all play out.

It's a goofy law that is poorly written...............anything could happen....................or absolutely nothing could happen.................who knows

[danielan]

but I've got a year and a half worth stashed so I can sit back and watch it all play out.

Yeah, I have cough*cough years stashed. I keep thinking of that song, "Wild wood flower", "We just smiled and waved, sitting there on that sack of seed".

1) i will be very curious to see the return address on the packages from buysnus after the law goes into effect. not one to try and start rumors i will leave what i am thinking for each ones imagination.

2) As far as needing a presence in the US goes..... i don't see any reason why it would matter one bit where the snus is coming from. With that said, later on maybe they might change the law so it would but right now it don't seem to matter.
