    WooHoo ! My snus is here !

    Sat here really enjoying my first prilla in 3 years, a "Lucky" white, as the order I placed with "BuySnus" on Monday arrived today...

    Just 4 days from order to delivery, from Sweden to England...

    IMPRESSIVE BY ANYONE'S STANDARDS !

    my snus still isn't here. it's been 17 days in transit, and 13 business days. i don't know if it's even coming anymore

    i contacted buysnus and they told me, to wait one more day before reporting it missing.

    any canadians have a problem like this?

    everytime the mailbox is empty, a little part of me cries. mostly my eyes.

      It's probably been stopped by our fascist customs officers.... two weeks does seem like a long time, but if it was by regular post then don't expect customs to hurry to clear it.

        My order from northerner.com took almost a month. They sent an apology error saying it was a computer error or something like that.

          I ordered on Monday morning from buysnus and received my order on Tuesday morning, and although it was using UPS, it wasn't the top price shipping option.

          Fantastic service.

          Incidentally, I ordered a roll from Northerner at the same time which still hasn't arrived, but that appears to be because they don't have any stock rather than the shipping taking ages.

                so

                my five tins arrived, with a customs duty attached of 27$. less than the 43$ of last time but still enough to give me pause. i ordered five tins, orginally priced at like 28 dollars, plus 27$. something like 11 a tin.

                gives me pause before reordering.

                  How can they do that? It's safe to say that is a fascist move there. There is NO WAY in hell I would pay them.

                    i haven't had to pay a customs tax so far. I don't think we have to pay that in the states. It seems the candians get slammed by custom taxes regularly.

                      me neither. i don't think i'd snus if i had to pay that much per can.

                        what happens if you lie about the contents of the package?
                        i mean, i know it's probably illegal and all that jazz and you can get fined or something but realistically.....they don't check the boxes for what they have in them do they?
                        i work at fedex and we've been told all sorts of stuff goes through, including illegal drugs.

                        you should have it sent to a friend in the states and then he can send it in another package (or relabel it). or if you live near the border have a friend drive it over or something. unless you're doing it in great quantities very often, your chances of getting caught are probably negligible.

                          I wonder if I am another Canadian who will get zapped with that kind of customs duty. I ordered 5 tins of Ettan on Nov. 5th and where is it? Northerner tells me it is in the mail so I bet it is in some warehouse being taxed.

                            I've ordered about 10 times from both Northerner and buysnus and I've only hit once, an 8 can order. Luckily, I only had to pay a custom duty and a handling fee, which in all came out to $10.

                            ummerr, did you get a breakdown of the $28 you were charged? I'd be interested in seeing it.

                              Perhaps we in Canada should petition Imperial Tobacco to roll out their DuMaurier brand snus nationwide, or mailorder it.
