    A bit of advice here is to try to find sellers who don't use UPS. UPS gives their personal customer information to the government, which is an invasion of privacy and unconstitutional.

    Edit: Tobacco is LEGAL in the US. We are not breaking any laws by purchasing tobacco. This is insane. It's all about forcing people to smoke cigarettes instead of using a safer alternative so that they can tax us at higher rates.

      They must do random checks, the previous two shipments from them went through without issue, or they are starting to catch on.............

      By the way, UPS is the only shipper that will ship tobacco. Fedex and USPS will not.

        If you can find someone who doesn't use UPS, you'd be better off.

        Edit: Massachusetts is a banned state. Regular post is your best bet. UPS is a rat fink.

          Massachusetts is a banned state. No tobacco shipments of any kind that come from outside of the state are allowed, no matter who is shipping it.

          Edit: Even though tobacco is LEGAL! As long as we smoke it...

            Yeah, the fact that all packages they process are databased makes it easy to hand
            over all information when requested by federal agencies. Privacy, what's that?

            Then there are those doing orders through Sweden who get their snus that end
            up being delivered by USPS, thanks to the 'Universal Postal Union' which most
            countries have signed and have to abide by. This ain't like the US Indian Treaties
            that get pushed aside by political clout. The UPU has jurisdiction over most of the
            international mail and no country (or state) can pick and choose only the parts of
            the agreement they want to follow.

                      Any updates on the guy on 118 selling Swedish Snus? I live in the plymouth area, and would make a little trip up 118 if I could get some Swedish Snus...

                        The guy on 118 I had alluded to earlier told me his main tobacco distributor won't allow it; something about a clause in his contract with them. This is something he inherited when he took over the business; being a non-smoker himself, it turns out he couldn't care less since his business is holding its own.

                        rickcharles606 is hot on the trail of new leads so if you have any shops in your area that might be interested send him a PM.




                        You might also want to consider the auctions here at snuson... since they qualify for person-to-person exemption of the PACTcrap BS they're still allowed mailing through the USPS.

                          Hello all,

                          My first post. Pretty new to Snusing (is that a word?). I placed an order through SnusCENTRAL. I live in Mass and just found this tread. What is the current status of getting orders from Sweden in Massachusetts? My order seems to be stuck in PA for the last two days. Will I ever get it? It was alot cheaper buying what I did from Sweden instead of Northerner.

                          Thanks,
                          frazz

                            I did an order with SC about a month ago.

                            Ordered on a Wednesday morning and had it that Friday before noon.

                            But that was a month ago so really have no idea what's going on these days.

                            Was it shipped UPS?

                              Yes, it was shipped UPS. It has been "stuck" in PA for two days awaiting something to do with the FDA PPQ... although I was hoping to get it PDQ

                              Would it be turned back because taxes were not paid to the state? I am gonna pay them as soon as I get my delivery.. honest!

                              BTW. I see you are from SE Mass.. where abouts? I live in Bridgewater.

                                Oh, I totally believe you!!

                                Here's a Catch 22 for you. Massachusetts has outlawed tobacco shipments to the state. Haven't heard that that has been nullified ....... I get around that BS by having mine sent to a UPS Store in a nearby state and pay a $3 handling fee per package.

                                I'd contact SC asap and find out how they will deal with your problem. My experience (and that of others here) is that SC is very customer oriented so you should get satisfaction once they're aware of the situation.



                                Hopefully your order will slip through the cracks, though, and you can snus to your heart's content.
