Snuson group project: Crowd-sourcing deals

[sgreger1]

What about doing the same but not using Northerner? I'd be down for this but I want to try both V2 and Gotlands Julesnus los (V2 julesnes isn't carried by Northerner). Likewise, MaKe WeBo doesn't carry Gellivare...

The vendor is irrelevant, it's all based on what flavors everyone wants. We can find the vendor after the fact. We could even utilize snusbargain.com's services in this as well.

I did the same order:

Title Quantity Stock Tobacco Tax Price Price inc. Sales tax Thunder Frosted Extra Stark, Strong Portion 80 No** $ 140.00 $ 187.20 $ 187.20 (0%) UPS Ground 1
$ 0.00 $ 23.21 $ 23.21 (0%) Total weight : 8.272 lbs Items : $ 187.20 Tobacco Tax : $ 140.00 Discount (2%): $ 4.00 Delivery from US-PA : $ 23.21 Total: ~$ 346.41 Charged in USD : $ 346.41

LOLOOLO, $140 in tax? ROFL. Dude, you would save $114 in tax alone. That is HUGE. This would especially benefit those who like to just order 1 or two rolls. They could save BIG on shipping, because as I stated before, shipping 1 rolls is almost the same as shipping 5 rolls or more.

Ok, I might be down for this because I don't feel like shouldering the full shipping cost just to get 10 or so cans.

I just did a getsnus' test order, 9 portion rolls = $22 shipping, $74 tax. It's unfair.

Northerner can only ship 90 cans (9 rolls)
Therefore the receiver would receive no more than 9 rolls at a time. Those rolls would be for multiple people, and I know you can ship 3 or 4 rolls to an individual without issue.

I don't think the weight restriction will be any problem at all.

Private mailing is limited to 10oz which isn't bad, but isn't that great either. Also, you still need signature confirmation, and there's still possible state restrictions. My advice is to keep your head down, and mouth shut, then hope for the best. Keep in mind also that USA based vendors are mandated to keep track of their customers. I'm not sure what that means in the end, but you're being watched.

Unfortunately, I would be the one in NEED (and not the other way around). But this sounds like a great idea, let's get the ball rolling!

[jagmanss]

I might be down for this, But I don't really know if I'm in a high tax State or low tax or in between, Because most of my orders have been through SnusCentral. I had one order from Northerner 5 months ago and after that I did mock orders and found SnusCentral to be cheaper for me for bulk... What price on what snus and how much of that snus are we basing it as a low or high tax State. Not knowing...

$74 tax on 9 rolls would be great! Would be a a huge savings. If I got 9 rolls of General Strong Long it is $ 235.58 tax. You're right, it is unfair.


Everyone should do a test order on GetSnus of 80 cans of Thunder Frosted so we can see tax comparisons.

[jagmanss]

I just did a getsnus test order, 80 cans of Thunder Frosted = $ 21.63 for Shipping and Tobacco Tax : $ 66.40 and total charged would be $ 271.23

Support SnusOn with Smokeless Tobacco!

[pactactrefugee]

I just ran a test over at snuscentral. 9 rolls of thunder frost $208.62 and
UPS (1 pkg x 3.5 kgs total) UPS
UPS Saver $30.31
UPS Express $31.56
Just for comparison.

SnusOn at its best, awesome initiative:-) If you guys agree to something we'll sponsor it and sell it to you at cost + 1% if you decide you wanna buy from us.

[precious007]

That's an awesome idea...
I"m in ...

I'd be saving huge if someone from U.S would be sending the snus to Europe (that way I can avoid the huge tax)
But everyone has to order the same amount and the same brands, hence the shipping + taxes would be divided to everyone fairly.

The only problem I see in this.... what if say 20 rolls get canned by the customs... that would be a pity...
And how would we get everyone to opt for the same brands when everyone has different tastes? ....

I'd go for Skruf and Odens, General... for example.... (loose)

I'm willing to help anyone not located in Cleveland, Cincinatti, or New England. This is, of course based entirely on principle.

[Veganpunk]

I live in Alabama, one of the lowest taxed states. I can't do anything now due to Christmas and my oldest kids
birthday a week after, but after that, if you guys need me to order and ship I will. I think this is a great idea that will help out a lot of people.

Wow that's very generous Fredrik, thank you!
