Hey guys I am pretty new to snus. I was recently at a local cigar shop and I bought a can of General Nordic Mint. When I got home I did some research on swedish snus and saw how safe it is to use! So I tried the General and really liked it! So I researched where I can buy swedish snus online because stores only carry General and Camel. I found Northerner.com. I was planning on ordering a few tins from Northerner but the site went crazy. So I searched the problem I was having on google and found this thread.

Now my question is, what do you think the future of swedish snus is going to be in America? Because I do not want to become a swedish snus user, if there is a possibility of it not being allowed in the USA in the future.

Why are there not more swedish snus brands available here in the US in stores? All I can find is General and I think its the americanized version.

Last question, when browsing northerners website I can see all the brands available. Are those all the brands out there or are there some that are only allowed in sweden?

Snusdog....you forget Step 4: apologize for not giving people time to redeem their points prior to exposing the entire customer to the entire Nigeria identity theft industry.

Step 3: fire the entire IT department

These guys?

They have information on the site that would really help as far as the potential for identity theft and they are ignoring that obligation to protect the privacy of their customers.

I understand this is a major screw up but let's not be overly dramatic. Your name and address is useless information. Every minimum wage pizza guy in your town probably has that info too.

lxskllr,

That is a very good point.

Roo,

Sometimes it logged me in correctly, other times the password didn't work and sometimes I get a different persons' account. Bet it would work if you keep trying although I am certainly not sure if it is a good idea or not.

Not sure if I want to try again or not....but I really don't appreciate ALL my various addresses and phone numbers being out there like that.

I tried logging in, and I apparently can't remember my login credentials. =

me too. it's been years since I logged on, and either somehow none of my usual usernames/passwords are correct, or they have been changed. I can't log in.

I tried logging in, and I apparently can't remember my login credentials. Do they store card info? If not, it isn't a huge disaster /yet/. One thing everyone needs to do though is check your passwords. Many people reuse passwords for sites, and if someone gets in your account, they'll have a password and email they may be able to use on other sites.

It's hard to know what to do in this situation!

On the one hand - they are accidentally sharing our addresses and names with random people through the new site's complete failure.

At this point it is not an accident. They have a massive security issue, they know it yet they are not pulling the site to fix it.

Like many here I have had mistakes with Northerner but I don't think I ever complained before this thread. In the past I always tried to make positive comments about them and am grateful for the fact that they opened up in the US.

Does anyone have a phone number for Northerner?

You might want to stay logged out unless you are actually using the site.

I wonder if this would keep your account from being crossed with other open accounts.

I have been logged out and there is no activity or orders in my account........

Regardless............how this site is still up (instead of the old one) is mind boggling.

Every day it seems they are digging a deeper and deeper mess to have to climb out of

If people are buying snus and it is being shipped to other people........they are going to have an endless and expensive mess that will take months for them to resolve.

The only thing I can think is that if the cross up we see is not actually what they see.........then maybe the right account gets the right snus.

Anyway

Step 1: Take new site down

Step 2: put old site back up

Step 3: fire the entire IT department

On the one hand - they are accidentally sharing our addresses and names with random people through the new site's complete failure. However - I have tried to check and they can't change your password once in unless they know the old one - and as far as I can tell they're not storing my card details as I have to enter it myself if I want to order.

But ... it does look as if they are allowing Swedish Match sales with the EU shipping checked ... at least for the moment. And I really like Swedish Match products. I am in a bit of a quandry about this one.

Guys check your accounts urgently, just checked mine and someone was trying to order a roll of that northerner citrus stuff and had changed my name and contact details!! SERIOUSLY ANGRY ABOUT THIS!!!

[scottishsnusser]

I can get into my account and it seems correct. However, I can't pay by card any more. It only seems to want me using bank transfer. Strange and a total hassle. Hope that changes!

[solonor]

MAN!! they no longer send to turkey! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

[crullers]

I could not resist it and tried to log in just to see.......thinks I am a guy in Ontario.

Tempting to send him an e-mail and ask if he is getting to my account when he logs on.

I'm a guy in Ontario so logged in. It's showing me as another guy in Ontario!
