    Lightning Fast Northerner Shipment! WOW!

    Due to a less than convenient experience with Northerner shipping several months ago, I switched to buysnus for my needs. However with the recent discontinuation of Diplomat loose I ordered from them once more to stock my freezer with several cans.

    :shock:

    A shipment of 5 cans placed January 28 (Monday) shipped the next day arrived in my mailbox on February 1 (Friday). It was sent via standard REK mail. Folks, that's a new record for me living here in the "midwestern" U.S.

    Could it be that Northerner has stepped it up in the recent wake of customer dissatisfaction? I thought I'd share this with the snus buyers out there as I am very impressed with this most recent order. Has anyone else bought from them recently and experienced a quicker than usual shipping time?

    Yes, I'm sure they did.

    My last order from Northerner even was split into two shipments, because one brand was not in stock. Formerly, they always waited until all brands are in stock again, before they shipped.

    Overall, I never had the slightest problems with Northerner and my philosophy is always to order in time, so I wouldn't run out of snus, if a package takes some days more than expected. Knock on wood.

    Cheers!

      My January newsletter from northerner read something along the lines of:

      "We have made several improvements to out order processing system, as well as shipping. Swedish post is now being offered to ALL customers again, and we have adjusted our snus prices to be competitive"

        I still find that buysnus.com is less expensive, but if the shipping with REK is that much faster, i'd consider using them again. Plus, their selection is a bit more diverse.

          I got reamed on Northerner shipping. It was about 50% of the cost of the tobacco. When I placed my order, UPS was the only option they offered. The shipping was speedy, but my order was delayed due to my snus being out of stock. 2 day shipping doesn't mean much when you've waited over 15 days for their suppliers :^/

          I'm hoping Buysnus will start carrying Gellivare and Landströms by fall this year when I'm ready to order again. I'd like to deal with them exclusively.

              Northerner

              I have recently (since the beginning of February) ordered from Northerner. I placed my order on a Sunday and received it in whole on Friday via the standard (read cheap :-) ) post. I am a new convert to snusing and this was only my second order ever. I ordered from them in January and had fast service then also.

                    I'm sure that they were pretty fast on shipping it the next day but the rest is really out of their hands. I'm receiving packages from all over the world every week and I've had packages from Hong Kong which were sent with regular mail shipped on fridays and arriving on the next monday. On the other hand it sometimes takes 5 weeks to arrive. It's just how things go with customs and airline flights I guess.

                      My first and only (so far) arrived from northerner today (sat). The order was placed Monday and shipped Tuesday. I think 5 days from order to arrival is great service.

                        I've become a big fan of shipping via Swedish Post. It's only a day or 2 longer than UPS. I always try to order before my stash is almost depleted.

                          I have to agree; I can't really see myself paying the drastically higher cost using UPS. The tracking feature is a nice thing to have, but I am perfectly happy with regular mail thus far.
