    Grouping Orders.

    I had this idea this morning, and not sure if it's been discussed, but want to know what you guys think, this may help some people.

    Person A wants to pick up a roll of his favorite snus. Shipping is going to be around 20-30 bucks. Person B wants to try out a new can of a new snus, but doesn't want to pay 10-20 bucks for shipping to try one can. Person C wants to buy some snus and restock his freezer and sees that shipping is going to be around 20 bucks.

    What's to say all these people don't get together and make one order together to save on the shipping, and then use USPS (which is legal between consumers) to ship their tobacco and save a few bucks? One person does the order, everyone PayPal's that person the money, and then that one person ships to everyone else.

    Each person pays 1/3 of the shipping!

    This actually sounds like a pretty good idea if the shipping isn't too bad person to person.

      After paying a third of a 20-30 dollar shipping then 5 bucks shipping via USPS, seems like it'd save someone 10 bucks or so... might be a good idea.

        Better yet would be if people lived in the same area, then you don't have to do an extra shipment, everyone just picks it up from the person who ordered it. I wonder if there might be legal implications though.

          As long as the order is placed and taxes paid, no. It's like giving someone 5 bucks to pick you up a few cokes from the store when they go to get groceries.

            Chad that's a really good idea. There's a bunch of folks on here I'd trust to go in with me on an order one day.

              That's an awesome idea. Legally that would be extremely hard to be proove any wrong doing like ripping that tag of your mattress. Worst case scenario just say your buddy gave it to ya.

              Only person I have near me locally is Nomad. He's more of a snuff fiend lol.

                Good point, I was thinking that it might be considered "reselling" but if the money's paid up front, I guess it's just like you described.

                I was checking out Northerner's shipping prices and noticed they charge a flat rate up to 9.9 lbs...so basically buying 100 cans would save me the most on shipping, but I'm not about to order that much and stack my freezer, the wife would kill me
