I got hit by the UPS bill

[HK11]

UPS dinged me for my large order to northerner. Bastards. They want 13 dollars.

[beja]

That sucks! How large was the order?

[HK11]

about 150 dollars US

Brokerage fee. Standard UPS charge when something goes through customs. Want to avoid it, don't use UPS!!

Wow, I haven't posted in forever...

Anyway, I also got the UPS ding awhile ago to the tune of 9 dollars with an order that was like $140 dollars.

Oh well, small price to pay.

Yes, but an unnecessary one all the same.

There is no other choice at northerner for a large order. I will have to use getsnus or make smaller orders.

Or you can just put in two smaller orders. If I have a large order I always split it into 2 or 3 orders. Mainly because I am afraid that customs will snag one and I'll be out snus. I'd rather risk $75 than $200 in one lump.

Or use Buysnus.

As a portions guy, I can get through a $125 order without having to use UPS on Northerner. If I really do want a bigger order, I will break it into two days.

reading through the posts here i think that between 5 and 15 bucks is cheap for getting your snus cleared through customs(just my option)

True, but you still have to clear customs. Not something you have to worry about with Getsnus.

True. But until they carry more or what I use, they just aren't that useful.

I am making my first ever order with them next week. I am almost out of Super Sterks, don't think I can last until my snus gets here from Northerner around the 10th. But Getsnus carries Odens at least, so will order a roll from them which should get to me a week before my Northerner order does.

Glad to see you giving them a shot. You're one state north of me and I always get it within 2-3 days, so if anything, at least you won't have to wait long. If your order gets over 50.00 though, they automatically ship UPS instead of USPS, so you may want to call them if that's the case and specify USPS. There's nothing more aggravating than seeing your shipment sit in the Charlotte NC UPS Hub for six days. :x

Just ordering a roll.

Until they start carrying Retro White and Camel white, they will just be an emergency, I can't wait kind of order.
