Northerner now shipping from the US

[Snusophile]

Welcome to the states, Frank! I appreciate the addition of a closer shipping point, and wish you and the Northerner luck and success with this new venture.

I'm curious now that you mention PA. Have you partnered w/ getsnus?

I was just about to post a similar question myself ... What made you decide on settling in Allentown? the reason i ask is that getsnus.com is located about 30 minutes from where your warehouse is at. Anyways, Welcome to the Keystone State! I live about an hour north of Allentown. If your making any stops around scranton/wilkes-barre area, let me know =)

If anyone of you live in Ottawa/Canada (I'll be there on Monday 20/4) Cleveland (22/4), Indianapolis (23/4), Columbus (24/4) - :cry:

I sure wish I lived near one of these places,but sadly not.I hope you bring other snus to America soon :!:

It's politics..... no state taxes.... strong tobacco lobby

....
Cigars International, which does sales of up to $30 million annually according to The Associated Press, moved to Bath in Northampton County, north of Allentown, in part because there's no excise tax in this state. There are also wholesale dealers in Berwick, King of Prussia, Scranton and elsewhere.

"They're there because Pennsylvania doesn't have a cigar tax," said Norman Sharp, president of the Cigar Association of America. He noted that Pennsylvania and the cigar industry are historically intertwined, so much so that "stogie," a common name for a cigar, is derived from the name of a small Lancaster County town called Conestoga. Until the 1970s, Pennsylvania's filler tobacco was the filler used by many of America's top cigars.

Great to hear you appreciate our move to the US, I will contact you guys who would like to meet me for a free lunch, freebie snus and some nice snusing chat

P.S. At this point we do not cooperate with getsnus.com. Allentown...it could have been somewhere else but Pennsylvania has a long tobacco tradition. There are other places as good, we will see what the Crystal ball may tell is about the future...

Sincerely,

Frank

Frank,

I noticed something on Northener's site.

"EU customers can order taxfree snus"

Does that mean your EU customers can order Swedish snus shipped from the USA and avoid the EU tobacco tax?

[Flexxy]

Also, if a PA resident orders something that is able to get shipped from the US warehouse, i'm sure we'd have to pay sales tax... Being that my order would most likely contain snus from the EU warehouse would the general products come from the EU with the rest of my order (which would avoid sales tax and could come in one shipment) or would it be split between the EU and US warehouses?

[Northerner.com]

Yes customer that order US Snus can get it delivered Taxfree to EU. Regarding Swedish Snus I recommend to order from the Swedish Warehouse because of the shipping cost and the possibility of having to pay custom tax. For example the German custom will, if the package doesn't slip through custom - which it many times does, charge importation tax +40% and German Sales Tax which is +17%. That is more expensive than ordering from Sweden directly.

For Pennsylvanians the orders will be +6% in sales tax, to make the IRS happy ;-) But for US people living outside Pennsylvania there is no sales tax.

Sincerely,

Frank

Flexxy,

"US shipped Swedish snus" is listed seperately so if you mix and match you are in effect placing two orders.

aaah gotcha ... i haven't placed an order yet, but saw that on the site when you saw General products in the list it had both flags there for each warehouse i didn't realize you could specify which one.

Uhoh---Looks like someone's been reading the board.

I might just have to switch suppliers again!

[PrisMaster]

its great to see you guys moving in to the US. too bad you are not coming to Minnesota. I would love to meet up and get some freebies. Good luck and your trip and hope its a safe one. Dont work too hard and have some fun while you are here.

Apparently General shipped from US has health risks I didn't know about. It is not a safe alternative to smoking or it may cause tooth/gum problems(depending on which warning label you get on your General can). I thought this was funny when I opened my first US shipment. I am already worried about the unkown swedish snus being discovered and then taxed to hell.
