I really want to order something new, but...damn shipping sucks.

[nicodude]

Anyone know of a site that will ship snus with USPS, Im stuck buying local because no one is home during the day to sign for the package. Ive emailed a few sites about alternative shipping methods but they wont go for it, saying they need an adult signature, which is bs IMO because I offerd to mail them a photo copy of my drivers license which they could match to the name on the credit card used to order and my shipping address.

Nobody ships USPS anymore, like nobody at all.

I just go pick it up after they deliver it to my house during the day and I'm not home, they hold it at the facility.

I was planning to make a little order. Just to try some new stuff out for myself.
I know the more you order, the more cost effective it will be. I know that. But I really can't see myself spending over $100 for just 20 cans.
I used to be able to buy weird random shit just for the hell of it. Now, I have to be far more careful with my money. I like the US and all, but man we have some stupid ****ed shit going on here. Maybe I'm just caught in a pre-PACT world, but damn. This is killing me.

Quit yur bellyachin! Try dealing with 75% tax AND shipping. WA state even charges full tax on FREE items cause they charge based on manufacturer retail value. The buy 15 get 15 free Jaks special came to $142 bucks!

It's all about money.

December 31, 1972 - DDT banned. Why? It was found that "....the continued massive use of DDT posed unacceptable risks to the environment and potential harm to human health."

January 11, 1964 - Surgeon General's Report on Smoking issued. The Surgeon General determined "that smoking cigarettes is hazardous to health", basically. Cigarettes - not banned.

Instead, cigarettes taxed like a mofo. It's all about money to them, not the interest of public health. Cigarette use is so widespread they saw the earning potential of taxes and the revenue that could come in, despite the better interest of public health. Same with other forms of tobacco. Tax it all! More money!

Our system is f'd up.

Too bad Fred left Northerner he was going to do wholesale cost +5% or something on a bulk order in the US.

Just wondering, ive had to pick things up at the hub before, but its a problem because its a 40 minute drive to the warehouse from my house, and I have to get there before they close.

Fair enough. I'll give you that one. The taxes on 1 roll amounted to only $1.

No kidding. I kept hoping Gellivare would come back on snusbargain.

Can you have it sent to a UPS store that might be closer

[GiantsNut57]

Shit, my last order from Northerner, I had to work and it was running late, so I left a note and the UPS guy left it right where I asked! That's damn good service if you ask me. What is your guys' average cost/can order? I've been between 20-27 bucks and 4-6 cans every month or so...

We definitely should do this. We could go through buysnus or northerner and it would save everyone on lots of shipping and tax

[Owens187]

We talked about doing this before. I live in Alabama and have some pretty low taxes.

This would be good like when new products come out. 10 people go in and buy a roll and split the price 10 ways. Stuff like that would save money.

This would totally work with a bit of planning. . . . . .





. . . . but more than likely could only be open to those who have already proved themselves trustworthy. We all know we can trust Vegan, but I think I could only get involved if everyone was already proven, after the box pass fiasco(s) and all.

Also, the receiving person would need to set up a PayPal account for us all to contribute funds to for the order - keep things as legit as possible . . .

Would also have to figure everyone's shipping charges and packaging(from receiving party) out also, as different places will be different rates.

Well that would pretty much screw me over considering I'm new (; haha
If the main person was trustworthy and all the funds were in paypal prior to ordering, what could go wrong haha

[nicodude]

I fail to see any type of reason to bar forum noobs from ordering based on trust so long as the person pays in advance of the order being placed, and sends it by paypal - personal/gift. In that case the only person who could get ripped would be the noob as the person taking the orders would already have the money in hand, and you cant file a paypal claim if the money was sent personal/gift, nor would there be pp fees for such transaction.

Just set a due date for funds, and anyone (of us untrustworthys) that havent paid by then dont get their order included in the final order from the site. Unless I am missing something here, so long as the above is followed, there would be no possible way for the person taking the orders to get ripped off or stuck with anything.



Edit: I checked the UPS store site earlier and am considering getting a UPS box. My PO box is up for renewal this month, maybee i'll close it and switch to ups instead, which would give me more freedom and enable snus to be ordered! I just hate to pay the xtra money for the ups box just to order snus though. I normally only use general which I can buy locally, but they sell out of los quickly and dont stock the more exotic varietys like onxy/silver and they rarely have sterk.

[Veganpunk]

Is there a limit on the amount in a bulk order? I'm totally down to be the main recipient, I just might need help with the cost for everybody. I suck at math! Are we gonna factor in the price for the cost of me shipping it out to everybody else as well? Not sure how all this will work.
