SNUS exceeding cigarette costs

[justintempler]

LoL

Or make snus at home

What bothers me is all the high taxes that are added to the final price ...

I mean a can cost roughly $3 and we end up paying 3 times as much

It's not FAIR.

So, i've placed a few orders, post-PACT. highest for 2 rolls i've paid is 85 USD.

I just made an order for a roll of Thunder WG, and a roll of the General long Sterk (on discount), and it was 114 USD with shipping and taxes...

This is almost 6 dollars a can...for 2 of the cheapest deals on snus there are. I am so completely PISSED about this that i actually made a topic about it. You can get bargain basement cigs in wisconsin (one of the highest US tax states) for under 6 dollars a pack. But now, my highly reduced harm reduction snus is cost me equal prices for the same level of cigs (counting the discounts).

I am absolutely flabbergasted and don't know what to do. I can't pay ~120 dollars for 2 rolls of snus, that's just retarded. It's cheaper to smoke cigarettes.

Yes, mostly a rant post.

I know, it is ridiculous. I think WI is one of the 2 states that actually have higher taxes than WA's 75%. I did VIP last time and may do it again but I am very strongly considering giving in to the anti's and just quitting, not worth it anymore.

And remember the more you order the better.. When you do a large order it lowers the cost per can with the shipping.. I'm hoping I have enough stocked up till I get my tax refund so I can place a big order.

Not offensed mate
If someone could explain what the sales tax is .. I've been paying it for ages and don't even know what it is ..

American version of VAT. But the U.S. does it state by state along with the Federal taxes. God knows they all need there piece of the pie!

[precious007]

Lolz, Sometimes it's not

Nasty when we have to pay through our nose for snus

Well it's worth in the end.

Ok I get it now. So what's the tobacco tax for ?

[stubby2]

I haven't ordered post-PACT as I have at least a years worth squirreled away in the deep freeze, but you might want to consider buysnus/snus central instead of getsnus/northerner. As of yet they aren't charging taxes. Of course..... as a good citizen..... I know you would be reporting it to the IRS and paying your fair share.... but for now that's your responsibility. Who knows how long they will continue to do it this way but for know it's good to go. High shipping rate but if you make a large order it's not to bad.

Tobacco taxes in Wisconsin suck up the wazoo

[chossy]

People in Europe end up paying $8 - $10 per can after all the taxes are added.

Dip ordered from U.S is slightly cheaper I've paid roughly half the price as I would normally pay for snus for the same amount of cans.

Again, I can't explain why...

It's from U.S too.. should be more expesive since I'm in Europe.

I pay 200SEK for my roll, roughly 30 USD,, dunnon where you buy your stuff though.

[precious007]

Choosy you're in Sweden Doh !

That's the normal retail price when you buy snus from the local stores.

The rest of us buy if from Northerner.com and the taxes are enourmous.

Can you send me some snus from Sweden ?

Peace :P

Yes, but I pay taxes and VAT aswell, which is included in that price, the only difference is that you pay for postage aswell, so add 10-12 USD for a roll, maximum. You need to petiton you´r retailers to cut the outrageous prices.

As for sending snus, I´m not quite that wealthy that I can dispense snus left and right for the fun of it. Sorry, I play the lottery so maybe some day....

[precious007]

@Choosy

You got me all wrong ..

First of all, the snus most of us buy online is not expensive because of shipping taxes, but due to the tobacco tax and sales taxes they charge.

The shipping is no more than $12 even if you order 5 rolls at one time using the Swedish post.



I would pay you for sending snus nothing for fun. LoL

Here's an example ...

Say I was to buy 50 cans of Ettan Los and 50 can of Skruf Extra Stark Los (that would last me roughly 6 months)

Here you go : (It's pretty obnoxius but that's the sad truth)

Ettan, Loose 50 Yes $ 115.00 $ 178.00 $ 222.50 (25%)
Skruf Xtra Strong Loose 50 Yes $ 107.50 $ 170.50 $ 213.00 (25%)
UPS Express Saver 1 $ 0.00 $ 119.19 $ 148.99 (25%)
Total weight: 6700 g
Items: $ 348.50
Tobacco tax: $ 222.50
Delivery from SE: $ 119.19
Sales tax: $ 172.80
Total: ~$ 862.99
Charged in USD: $ 862.99

We end up paying $862.99 comparing to the can cost of only $348 ...

That's 3 times as much.

If I were to compare to my 1 pack a day habit of smoking (don't smoke anymore)

... Snus would cost me pretty much the same money I spent on cigarettes .... $1600 a year. (that's $4 something a pack)

[chossy]

where do you live Precious?

[precious007]

In Romania / Europe.

Notice the shipping costs alone for 10 rolls is $120. LoL

[chossy]

The most shocking thing is that cigs cost 4 dollars in Romania........... never would have guessed.

[precious007]

Well since Romania is in E.U the taxes have risen overnight. The price per pack difference but Marlboro for example is $4.

Nothing is cheap anymore, and I've been living in Norway for quite a few years and I can well say prices in Romania are the same as in Norway which is the most expensive country I've seen to date.

If your into expired ginger lime snus I have good news for you! Northerner has it dirt cheap right now. You can buy 20 rolls of this stuff and not have to worry about those high prices for a long time.
