    Northerner...this really scared me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I give a lot of snus away. Whalen.......please back me up on that! I want snus to be as common as cigarettes are in the the US and wish the best to everyone working towards that and promoting snus.

    GN sent me fifty cans last year and I bet two or three former smokers were saved from emphysema with that. When you get fifty cans of something awesome like Odens you tend to feel generous and I want everyone who wants to quit smoking to know how easy it can be!

    Understand the business of snus as business is business....if they don't make money they don't stay in business. Having said that I am really irritated with Northerner today.

    I did receive the Chess I ordered. When it is .80 cents a can and shipping is free I really wanted to give them another chance.

    The Chess was fine as well as the Odens Extreme Vanilla and Wintergreen (Odens Vanilla Extreme may not be better than sex but it is very close)

    I did order two five packs of expired loose. They were not in the shipment that arrived today so I filled out the box on the Northerner web page and we'll see if I am ignored, a refund is offered or it is sent separately.

    In the past I always remembered the label Northerner put on being on the top. It was on the bottom on the only two single cans of loose I ordered so I partially peeled it off. On the Ettan can it tore so I can't see what the date was.

    The Prima Fint can is in the attached photo. It sure looks like the can of Prima Fint I paid $4.15 for was expired. Is the date 250613? Can any Swedish readers tell me if that translates to 25 June 2013? Can any of our Swedish Snuson members confirm what the date is in Sweden right now...it is August 16 in the US.

    This is not a smart move for a company with a US office.

    Even after all the problems with Northerner so many have had I still want them to get it together and do well. I want to support everyone that supports snus as I think we are all so much better off for it and it has helped so many people improve their health by reducing or eliminating the problems with smoking.

    But this kind of thing is bad for the snus community as a whole.

    What should I do?

    What would you do?

    It's 17. August in Seattle.

    Which means that it's also 17. August in Sweden.

    ---------

    250613 = 25. June 2013

              I do feel guilty about that.....in my defense Chess is one that I will give away.


              50 to 75% of my regular rotation is Odens.

                Can you see two photos?

                The one on the right with the label partially peeled....

                We've determined the date is Sweden is the same as the date here. Is the date at the city Northerner is in the same as the rest of Sweden?

                      Mill, I can vouch for you.
                      Yes that can exp in June.
                      I hate Northerner with all my heart. This is about the 1126th negative post regarding those turds.

                        I would start a ticket in Northerner asking them about the two labels.

                        More important question, though, is: Is the snus bad? Most of my snus is long after expiration ("best before") date and tastes and works just fine. I keep a year worth of supplies in freezer.

                          Heres one of the most important things about using snus that has been frozen. If you buy it well within the best by date and seal it and freeze it the snus will be fine for years setting in the freezer. I know it will last for at least 5 years come out just like new. However, if you buy expired snus and toss it in the freezer you won't know if its any good until you go to use it. Surely none of the online vendors keep their snus in a freezer until its sold. Hell I doubt that they even keep it refridgerated. It probably goes from the factory to the distributor to the vendor and never sees a cold temperature. If a vendor advertised that they kept their snus in a freezer until sold then a best by date could be put on the tin at the time of sale......and imo they could charge a few cents more to assure that its actually fresh.

                          just sayin


                          btw, starting a ticket with northerner doesn't do much but but give you false hope that they may answer. I've been waiting for 4 days now for an answer. I even posted my problem with them on their facebook page. Someone from northerner answered right away and recommended that I open a ticket with them. I did again and still no answer. Then I posted on their FB page again and haven't received a reply.

                          just sayin
                          Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





                          I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

                            I agree with all of this. I'd just use the snus. Complaining will most likely only get you frustration, and it isn't worth it for a few dollars.

                              They should give you a gold point for every ticket you write.
