What Happened To BuySnus?

[Guest]

Don't understand what's happened to BuySnus.

Have been a customer for a few years now and always went there and paid a little extra to ensure my snus was a fresh as can be, delivered quickly, received good customer service and for the odd generous samples on larger orders.

Last order but one ordered by UPS next day. Turned up a day later than that, BuySnus didn't reply to my e-mail when I queried where it was and had to end up chasing UPS myself to get my package.

This order 28 cans of snus (including 2 rolls of Skruf Stark) Both rolls of Skruf Stark dry, pale, tasteless and release little to no nicotine, BuySnus said to go speak to Skruf and my free sample was a can of Offroad Original Stark (IMO the cheapest, nastiest stark snus around) with only about 1 month to go out of date, again dry, pale, tasteless and releases little to no nicotine.

I guess the bad Skruf Stark stock and UPS's cock up are beyond their control but they don't seem to care as much about their customers anymore. A couple of years ago they would bend over backwards to keep the customer happy if anything went wrong and were a lot more generous with the samples.

I've never ordered from them. I keep meaning to, but always end up at Northerner. They don't carry anything that Northerner doesn't do they?

And Nick and Johnny Black, at least the last time I checked.

I haven't ordered from them in awhile(spring), but that order went smoothly. I used to be more loyal to them, but since money's been short I've been trying to hit deals, and stock up before PACT kicks in.

I don't mean to thread hijack but has something new happened with PACT? When does it come into play?

No, nothing new. It just feels like it's almost here to me, and I want a stockpile of snus so I can weigh my options when it goes through. We don't have government representation, so I'm certain it'll get passed in the very near future.

Hi Sage,

Just checked and the Northerner are selling N&J Black now. I quite like it and I know you're a white person and so might be worth throwing in a can on your next order (white-black)

I already have some!! Snagged 4 cans in a trade, absolutely love it, will now become my mostly only sterk I use going forward. Glad to see Northerner is carrying it, generally who I use these days and thought I might have to use Buysnus for next order. Hopefully though, Clubsnus will have it by the time I order next month as as much of my business as I can now goes to them

I looked at the Senate Calender and it was #216 on the list. I am kind of hoping that those numbers are the order that the agenda items are discussed and that there is only a slight chance that they will have time to discuss PACT before their session ends. What I am wondering is if the house will also have to vote on the bill that the senate passes as they made some changes to it. Hopefully the whole PACT thing just dies in the process and they will have to start over again next session. It would at least buy us some time. I was hopeful that several stores I go to would be able to get at least Granit and maybe Oomph but they keep telling me that they checked and their distributor has never even seen it before. The worst case scenario if PACT passes is that most of us will be limited to General products as they are already are set up in many tobacco stores, at least in my area. I honestly don't mind paying taxes on tobacco but I really wish they would use some of that money to fund stop smoking programs and subsidize the cost of nicotine replacement products but I guess that would be asking too much.

GoVegan, stop stressing about it.

As I have posted many times now, SM is already making contingency plans if PACT passes. And has also been posted here, the rel Northerner reason for the US warehouse is they are setting them self up to be a retail distributor for snus here in the US. So whatever happens, General will NOT be the only snus you can get locally here soon.

Under the current version of PACT, the postal service has 180 days to get the new rules in place. So even if passed, we have plenty of time for things to be sorted out

Dear
Ryan Thank you for your mail we in our company are very pleased to hear from our customers, any comment, requests.
We apologies for our late reply.
The Swedish company Northerner starting from first January 2010 selling our products directly to the stores in US and Oden's will be in their portfolio, so if you could tell us where in the US you are located then we organize that the store near you will have that product.

I am a big fan of Oden's ES los. You are probably aware that the PACT act is neer to being passed here in the United States. I wanted to say please try to make Oden's available on the shelf here in the US incase internet sales are limited to the point that Oden's is no longer available here.

Hi,

While we are voicing our concern over the legislation we are also preparing to work within the system that the congress sets up to ensure that you still will be able to buy a full range of products.

Neither PACT nor FDA makes snus illegal.

All the best,

My 2 cents, I've only ordered snus from Buysnus since I've started using. I've chosen Swedish Post every time and the package has always arrived in 5-7 days. UPS shipping is way too expensive.

A couple times they've forgotten to include the free doodad I chose, but I'm too mellow to make a big deal about that.

Sometimes I get a can with busted portions but thats not buysnus' fault.

I don't remember having to email them, so I can't comment on that aspect.

Uh... so basically what I'm saying, I guess, is that I'm still getting the same good service I always get, so hopefully your problem was just a fluke and it'll be back to normal next time.

[smus]

Yeah I've never sprung for the UPS option and I've never had a problem. It takes a week or so, but jeez, it's coming from Sweden!

Also note that throughout the month of December, a lot of shipping stuff gets jacked up. But I just ordered an Icetool (the rumors were true) and some Prima Fint (+ 2 other los tins) and it was here in less than a week.

It's not too far from Sweden to the UK.

Buysnus.com has been working well for me and usually gets here 2-3 days faster than my orders from Northerner. They also seem to have a great selection and the prices are decent. My only complaint is that I always order mini's and they have been sending me General Extra Sterks as my free can.
