Kiss my BUTT Northerner

[SnusoMatic]

This is really starting to suck. I want to order some Pioneer and Old Ving once the crap dies down but it looks like I might be waiting a while more. It has been about a year now since I ordered from Northerner.

Its hard to make sense of ain't it? I am one of those people who tries to figure everything out. This is what we in the biz call a head shaker. Anytime I think about how much money could be made on snus it makes me shake my head. Before Northerner opened I had already checked to see how much money it would cost to open a web shop in the USA. Way more than I have access too by far. Then Obama did the Stick it To Tobacco Users Act and any dreams I had were gone. I might give my left nut to be able to do what they seemingly failed at. Just think of how much money one could make with a US based snus shop.. if ran half right.. geee makes me shake my head.

Northerner Stress!

Hey guys i ordered a package from the northerner on the 3rd. This package was for dip as i ordered 4 tins of dip and the free tin of snus.Everything was in stock.Today i got a package with just the one tin of snus!. After reading my emails they sent me like 4 i think they sent the other dip on the 10th so now i got to wait longer is this normal because i don't understand why i wouldn't get it all at once.
Thanks

I think the delivery time from Russia and the US is both 2 weeks - which isn't that bad as long as they immediately dispatch the order as soon as it is received.

I'd look into setting up a Russian distribution system. Maybe it isn't feasible for various reasons, but having something close to the EU that isn't the EU seems useful to me.

I'm not sure that would be much better! There would still be the wait for it to get through customs for us in the EU - but I'm certain the length of time a Northerner order takes to reach us is mainly due to Northerner rather than the customs.

Also Russia doesn't seem like the most reliable place in the world (no offence)

Just want to chime in and say do not use Northerner or their other website called Swedish-Snus. They were okay a few years ago, but I've had the same problems already mentioned here. I was living in WA state for awhile and found a place that sold General and used them for a year, then returned to using Northerner after moving to the east-coast. My first order got to me in two days as I'm pretty close to their warehouse, but then I had all the problems with shipping, and out of stock b.s. Tried Snuscentral, and am very pleased. Plus I've got Skruf again! Really missed it. You have to order more to get a good deal, but it was pretty fast. Snuscentral has a new customer in me.

This is the one closest to me. I haven't been in awhile, but it's a cool place to go. Tobacco people are the best people :^)

That site could use a few more pictures, but it does look like the kinda place i'd visit if i'm in Maryland

Ya tobacco shops are definitely still out there in various parts of the US. There is actually one 25 feet from where I work (same plaza) and the owner's son is a friend of mine. Definitely good people but I've been trying to get him to order me some General Mint for over a month and he claims he can't get it it from his 2 suppliers. I'm pretty sure he just doesn't want to be bothered but I assured him I wouldn't stick him with the rolls. I was more so hoping that others would try it and it would catch on rather then making it a normal purchase for me as I think I can get it cheaper online. Would be nice to be able to pick up a tin whenever needed but alas I can't order it for him

You got me thinking about the old fashioned tobacconists shops i used to see in my home town when i was a kid, and a teenager. I can't really remember when the last one shut, it must have been 25 years ago, maybe more, i can't really remember now. I remember one a few miles from me that my dad got his tobacco from, i remember the smell of fresh tobacco and coffee beans, lovely. It's all online tobacconist now. I'm in London next week so I'm going to visit Smith & Sons, 74 Charing Cross Road Happy Days!

I don't see many people shopping at tobacco stores here except to buy an occasional cigar.

What's ironic is that most of us found snus in the USA by trying Camel snus. Camel was cheap and everywhere. If their snus was decent it would have probably caught on like wildfire. I give Camel an A for marketing but a D for product. General is here but only in specialty tobacco stores. I don't know about the rest of the country but I don't see many people shopping at tobacco stores here except to buy an occasional cigar.

We are witnessing the death of snus in the USA. A product that costs $8 a can in the tobacco store or $35 to ship will never appeal to the mass market and snus will be destined to remain a specialty niche product.

We have been witnessing the death of snus in the EU for a long time, i feel your pain mate

That's what my move would be if i was them, and get Swedish Match back in stock, do some good deals for a while with free shipping, and word would soon get around
