    Supremely Pissed/Hello, Nice to Meet You

    Hello snussers,

    My name is Jacob. I've been a lurker here for some time, and decided I might as well generate another link to procrastination.

    As this is an introduction, I'm a student in comparative literature/philosophy at jolly old NYU, and an ex-dipper. I dig the loose, and dig it hard. Or deep.

    Here's my query for the day:

    I've only had two orders shipped before, but they both arrived at my home in Brooklyn in five or six business days. Tomorrow will be the eleventh day since I ordered a new shipment that my mailbox is wretchedly unadorned.

    I ordered from buysnus.com. By all accounts (including mine), they've been great. So my question is this: Have you ever had extremities in shipping time, you Americans? Delays at customs, I don't know. I'm assuming there's no real repercussion if the stuff is lost in the mail, as I ordered Swedish Post, so I'm trying to decide at what point I just put in another order.

    Lovely,

    Jacob

    Hey Jacob. Welcome.

    A few months back I placed an order with Buy Snus that took 12 days to arrive. It usually takes no more than six days. In any regard, the package came and all was well.

    If it takes more than 14 days, you'll probably want to let Buy Snus know. I've never had a package get lost, but I suppose it could happen.

      I suspect that the combination of surging postal volume and vast tracts of enforced holidays surrounding the spring Equinox have something to do with the delay. I'd be patient.

        It's the holiDaze man! Relax! My order was a few days later than usual but just arrived today. About three days later than normal. You should have your order by Friday. If not, email bs and they will take care of you. I think you only get one lost in shipping so hold off till you know it's a hopeless cause.

          I too had an order arrive today that took quite a while. My first order shipped on tues from northerner and arrived sat (which is great shipping imo), my second shipped last tues the 18th and didnt arrive till today. Actually though, 12 days seems plenty of time to NY unless the BS folks took long holiday. I would email them and ask whats up.

            7 days and still no snus from buysnus.com. WTF I need my shit before I go crazyy. What holidays? Easter? How does Easter make the shipping take longer? I'm down to my least favorite can of snus that I've tried so far--Offroad Cranberry, and I only have about 4 portions left.

              We just had Easter holidays in Europe. One of my orders even took 8 days from Sweden to Germany without any holidays in between.

              My simple philosophy is, that every order that reaches me within 14 days is a good order.

              In other words: no need to panic yet.

              Cheers!

              Edit: Only 4 portions left? Best luck that you get your package tomorrow!

                The 'last time" and by that I mean the last time I order from buysnus.com it took 23 days to receive my snus, I tried to contact them and receive no replies from them, I placed the same order a month later from northerner and received atexactly 5 days, needless to say all my snus orders are thru northerner.

                P.S. I do not work for northener.

                  I wouldn't be worried about it so much if I wasn't down to now 3 portions... It's just that all my orders have been at the very MOST 6 days never any longer. So I'm worried my neighbor stole my snus :evil: lol.

                  Whether shipping takes forever or is really fast, a little consistency would be awesome, even though we all know that's impossible while shopping online.

                      My 2 orders from northerner.com took 5 and 8 days respectively, which imo is great shipping, especially considering that the last order was shipped over a holiday weekend. I would probably buy from buysnus.com but my credit card co wont let me, so until I change banks its northerner for me. What bugs me about northerner is that their prices are generally higher and that when you put in an order and go to their support page like 5 minutes later, it says the order has shipped. I know thats not humanly possible, I would love to know when the order is actually shipped, rather than when its transmitted to their warehouse.

                      ps. I work as little as I can get by with.

                          That's good. I thought for a second that you were an agent for northerner. I have heard they post on forums pretending to be actual customers defaming the competition.

                          That would be another unwise business decision.

                          Do we expect to see you contribute to the forums and be around more often?

                              yeah, i can't remember names atm but we've had plenty of undercover Northerner "agents" flaming buysnus.com. It's usually pretty obvious when every single one of their 3 posts say something about BS being garbage and Northerner being teh shiiit.
