    New Northerner fan

    So many of you know, for 2 years, I have mostly used Buysnus. Every 6 months at least, I make sure to use Northerner, but most of my purchases are with Buysnus.

    So decided to order some snus tonight. I have a whole bunch coming my way from different sources, but realized that my snus would be really unbalanced, and needed to order a bunch more standbys. Plus a few new ones I haven't tried. (Purified Licorice, who would have known)

    So recent posts pointing out the sudden significance in price differential led me to do some of my own testing and I could see how much cheaper Northerner has become. So went ahead and placed my order with them. Not only snus, but now that I am big into snuff, I can scratch that itch at the same time. Have ZERO need for more snuff, have so much I love right now, plus a bunch more for me to learn to love, but I haven't tried Wilsons yet, and at $1.88....how couldn't I. So added 4 more snuff too. :lol:

    Only after I did the order, did I go back and read up on Notherner's new bonus system. I did a tiny order, for me, at least. Less than $80 with shipping. but I still have like 254 bonus points, that is enough to get 4 cans next time!! But better yet, I can get candy instead! :lol: :lol: :lol:
    And that is the part that now has me sold flat out. I can choose how I want to use the bonus points, full control on my part!! Hell with more snus, that's already in my budget every month. But candy from Sweden, that is just a luxury I wouldn't indulge. But with bonus points, I can. Silly, sure. But it is the point of it that matters to me.

    So hats off Northerner (and I know you read here :wink: ) Very well done. I am a stubborn, stubborn man well set in my ways. but you now have a loyal new customer (old customer, I bought my first ever snus from you 2+ years ago) I will still buy from Buysnus occasionally. they have been good to me, but I will switch my routine. Northerner is number one now and Buysnus will get my pity orders.

    Northerner was my first order too. Never had a problem with them and always wanted to try their sweets. Their sweaters look nice too :lol:

      I want to say thanks to Northerner as well and thanks to Sagedil as it was he who helped me decide to order from overseas and I am very happy with both my shipments from Northerner. I like the point system as well and realize it may take almost a year for me to order a free Icetool but with the selection at Northerner and that constant bi weekly itch to try new stuff I see myself ordering from Northerner a lot.

        I love Northerner and with the exception of one order, I have always ordered from them. Never had a problem, orders always get here in 4 business days and nothing missed.

        The bonus points are a plus!

            I haven't made a buy snus order since december. They were rude to me last time. They sent me a whole roll of general maxi for nothing. Every other day i got a package from them with 2-3 tins in side. I contacted them to make them aware of such happenings. I got some rude emails, i was just trying to help out plus i wanted to pay for the product (felt bad really) but still rude emails. It wasn't like i was trying to scam them obviously because i got free snus for **** all.

            I have made 6 orders with swedish-snus.com (which is northerner) and will never go back to buy snus.

            Plus the prices are so much cheaper, and all my order arrrives in one box, not 100 ****ing envolopes.

            Most of my buysnus orders get picked up by customs because of the 100 suspicious manilla envolopes. So i got hit hard by the tax man for that as well.

              The Northerner has gotten 90% of my snus money for 6 months now. Every order has been correct and intact and arrived in 6-8 days. I like to order on Fri or Sat. I hear they have great customer service, but have never had to deal with that part of the business. Which is something I can't say about the 2 other "big" shops.

              Bonus points and getting my snuff there also is just icing on the cake.Getting my orders right and getting them delivered consistently in a few days is why I use them.

                So... are you saying that you were complaining about free snus?

                  I like Northerner too!

                  Sage, are you talking about the Oomph! Licorice Lemon? Because I think that it's Wise Original renamed...

                    I am and I was vaguely aware of that. But Wise never said it was licorice too.

                        Impressive Darth Sagedil, most impressive...but beware- the elixyr is strong in you. You don't know the power of the los side; your portions have made you powerful, but you must fulfill your destiny - get some los and your journey to the dark side will be complete. You are not the dalai lama yet :twisted: :lol:

                        Seriously though, bye-bye buysnus for me. Northerner ftw.

                          I just wish they finally got Thunder ES Wintergreen in stock.. It says "in stock within 1-3 days" for a week now.. My supplies were very low so I had to make an order without Thunder

                            LOL, I agree. As I have posted elsewhere, I do intend to return to los. Just have to wait till I can afford an icetool or build up enough points for one. I want to make sure I do everything I can to make the los experience good.

                              The 3ml stainless one is awesome (except with Gotlands, that was a real let-down), I'd thoroughly recommend. I think it's 2000 points, the alum ones are 1800. I know you order quite a bit, so I shouldn't imagine it would take years.
