Title: Swedish Snus - reshipped via USPS
Post by: 198bzqr957 on January 31, 2012, 06:31 am
Some law was passed last year making it illegal to ship tobacco products via USPS. That means for people like me who were accustomed to ordering snus (not that fake camel shit) from Sweden we now have to pay ~$18USD to have a couple tins of tobacco shipped by UPS. That's a prohibitively expensive price to pay for a few cans costing ~$4USD each.

Surely somebody out there would be willing to discreetly ship some snus cheaply through the USPS.

All I can find locally is shitty General pouches. I want some Skruf Xtra Stark los, I'd buy a whole log.

Oh man.  I wish you were in CAN.

I'd so be willing to pitch towards an order.  General white porsjon here.

What's the deal with getting it shipped into Canada? I know getting it reshipped into the US from there would take forever - Canada Post sucks in my experience, but a long wait would be better than outrageous shipping prices.

General white portion was the only one of the generals I could ever stomach, and I can get it all day long locally if you're interested. If you ever get the chance to try los then do it, I was surprised how much more I liked it than pouches. Skruf's stuff is particularly easy to bake a pris with, it has a clay-like consistency and a good flavor whereas I needed a tool to use General los and I wasn't wild about the taste or consistency.

You know, for a tobacco product, snus sure is hard to get. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it's illegal to sell and or import into most of the EU. Who's buying this stuff aside from Swedes and New Worlders? I'm afraid next they'll ban e-cigs and e-liquids - fortunately I'm prepared for that eventuality.

http://www.buysnus.com/ ships to the US.

MMM Swedish Snus is so delicious :D

Domestic websites won't mail snus in the US but Swedish sites still do.

They have some decent coupons as well. Try the flavored white ones :D so fruity and delicious.

The issue isn't getting it shipped into the US, that's still legal, but it's illegal to have tobacco products shipped via United States Postal Service. Sites like buysnus and northerner can now only ship UPS to the United States which is pretty expensive. I think last time I checked it would have cost me $18 and change to have two cans of snus worth $7-8 shipped to me from Northerner.

Actually I may be mistaken, it may have actually been $18/can after shipping charges.
On buysnus:
2 cans of Skruf Strong Loose = $8.98
Freight: $28.75
Order Total: $37.73
Price per can: $18.87

Fucking ridiculous.

I bought $100 worth of stuff last time. The only way is to get it though UPS.

I guess you could see if a Canadian could get it for you but I really don't think you will save too much money to have someone middleman it.

I can middle-man if that's what's necessary for me to get my goddamn snus, haha.

We're required to pay fees for any amount over 50 g for a legitimate order.  When I travel I just smuggle the shit back in my luggage, but obviously going through a website and whatnot...  Well, yeah.  And Canada isn't cheap.  D:

Actually, I'm gonna be scoping out apartments over there in April... 

Completely forgot I made these plans.  I am excited now.  Can bring some back?  Or ship from there?  It'll be a little while until I'm there permanently though I fear...  But I can see if I can work mah magic.

See what you can do, though it doesn't necessarily have to be reshipped from Canada; ideally the reshipper would be located wherever the financially ideal place for both parties is. I'd be willing to pay 2x the price per can and possibly a little extra if someone was interested in doing this - but ~$28USD to the guys in brown seems preposterous.

I tried contacting a vendor in Mexico regarding another item they don't want shipped to the US, it's been days and I haven't heard back. All of his listings are down :/

Any Swedes know how to discreetly package orders and want to make a little on the side? I'm jonesin for Skruf, Odens, Gottenburg Rape, et al.

Not sure if this is cool here, but just so everyone knows I'm well stocked in BTC as well as American pharmaceutical grade amphetamine. I want my snus.

Damn straight. I wish I could get rid of some of this, it's taking up too much shelf space. Not to get off topic, but the amp IR's kick so much ass. Allow me to sit up all night watching BTC prices and get an early heads up on customer appreciate sales while drinking whisky and playing video games. Always got a back-up line for "straightening me out" if I go too far one way or the other.

Sine nobody seems to want to reship snus, who's down for a large order, minimizing UPS prices, and I or another 3rd party will disburse of the goods upon arrival through USPS.

Edit: Mods if this breaks any rules please let me know, I'm not trying to violate the terms of this site, merely trying to get my snus.

Well I'm thinking since I'll probably be there for about a month I can ship you quite a bit to last you directly from Norway.  Some'll be from the duty free for sure, lol.  We could probably set something up for that month and I'll see about getting you a permanent link in Scandinavia.
