BuySnus PACT info email...

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

Just got this from BuySnus. Sorry if this is posted somewhere...

"To our US-based customers:
Lately there’s been a lot of talk regarding the new US laws under the name of PACT Act. We are complying with the laws as far as possible today. During the next months there might be changes. We’ll keep you informed of this and for the moment it’s safe to order from BuySnus!

Some of the changes that we’ve done are:
• Age verification on our site (If you’re having problems with verifying your account, please send us an e-mail and we’ll help you.)
• All orders are packed in sealed plastic bags with the mandatory health warning.
• Adult signature required. This is checked by UPS upon delivery.
• We pay the appropriate duties and government fees since we use UPS DDP (Delivery & Duty Paid). If you as a customer should be contacted by a local authority to pay taxes or fees please contact us. We promise you that we’ll sort this out without any problems for you.

Some of the benefits by ordering from BuySnus are:
• Absolutely fresh Swedish snus direct from the manufacturers! With no extra overseas warehouse and with no shipping time between we’ll supply you with the freshest snus possible.
• We sell and ship ALL brands from Sweden, including the whole Skruf-range!
• Faster deliveries by using UPS from Sweden compared to UPS Ground or other slower services where the snus is placed in warm trucks for days. "

Interesting, no more worries about "surprise" UPS brokerage fees. I don't know the legalities of this, I'll just sit back and watch for now.

What Does Delivered Duty Paid - DDP Mean?
A transaction in which the seller must pay for all of the costs related to transporting the goods and is responsible in full for the goods until they have been received and transfered to the buyer. This includes paying for the shipping, the duties and any other expenses incurred while shipping the goods.

Hmm..
Interesting.

If Northerner doesn't get there shit together this might be my next place of business.. Isn't SnusCentral a buysnus mirror?

[justintempler]

I hope they get it together. I have always ordered through them, and I have all of my last order + items from an order before still in limbo.
In fact my last order still says pending.
I am trying to be patient and supportive through this process, but I am just a little nervous about not seeing orders for months.

Ahh I am going back to buysnus for sure. Their prices are always absolutely perfect. SOOOO much cheaper. My 200+ stash all came from buysnus. Along with 6 HUGE General Towels, a General Snus Tray, 2 Goteborg Headphones, and iphone case, some flipflops, 4 keychains, 2 lid watches, and sooo much more. Those guys are soooo generous. Love em <3 All my snus I ordered pre pact, just got shipped, and they upgraded it to UPS for free. It was nice.

[lxskllr]

You might not love 'em so much when you see the UPS rates from Europe ;^) Buysnus is a great outfit, but UPS from Sweden is suck personified.

[c.nash]

One thing about BuySnus.. Everyone says their prices are better, but I've always noticed that it is almost a dollar more expensive than other suppliers, even more than SnusCentral...

Are you talking about BuySnus or Northerner?

Yeah, I haven't checked the rates. Could be a good option for getting Skruf, or if Northerner can't get it together...

Buysnus is more expensive in price for snus and shipping.

If northerner sorts out their problems they will be the best around.

[GoVegan]

buysnus may be more expensive but they are shipping some awesome brands over here. I would rather pay an extra $10.00 for shipping to get a snus that I really like. Also, I went to the tobacco store today to pick up a can of General OP and they dropped the price to $6.54 per can. Still not great but much better than what they where charging before.

What's up with this on the Buysnus website?

Please note that sales of Swedish snus by BuySnus.com are prohibited if you are a resident of Arizona, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Oregon and Rhode Island due to state regulations.


I have asked them about it 3 times and they keep telling me this:

Hi
You are personal responsible for being informed about the custom rules. If your order is held or stopped in customs are we not able to do anything about this. Please contact customs for more detailed information about this,
We still sell Skruf to US, this has nothing to do with the PACT act.


Kind regards

And this:


Hi
We are sorry to say that you need to check the custom rules by yourself when PACT act is very new to us and the customers. The information will be updated as soon as we know more.


Kind regards
