DESPERATE !! Trying to buy Snus, can anyone help (UK) - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

Hiya,
I really want to buy some snus from The Northerner, but they won't take my card (they take credit cards but I only have a debit card). My initial order comes to about £30 including taxes and delivery, but I cant buy it and it is REALLY frustrating. Would anyone be prepared to order my snus and post it on to me? I would pay £35 direct into your account to cover postage and what not. Anyone who can help please PM me or I will smoke an analogue!!
Regards, a frustrated potential snus-er

Have you thought of getting a pre paid credit card? I know they are available in the US.

How about this thing mate: www.entropay.com/consumer.benefits.php
It's a virtual visa card - should work on the website you're trying to use, but will cost you around 5% to load money onto it (probably less than itd cost in hassle and postage waiting for somebody else to order it for you anyway)... Look into it though to make sure it'll work at the site you're wanting to buy from!

Good plans...good plans, I knew someone smart would come up with something. Cheers!

By the way, there are plenty of those things around and you should check reviews etc as I imagine it's the sort of thing where they load hidden fees (i've not used one before)!

Google something like 'virtual prepaid credit card' or mastercard/visa instead of credit card.

Let us know if it works, I'd be interested - sounds like a nifty little application! Paypal has beta tested something similar in the past, and I think if I was able to find a decent vrtual CC it'd finally convince my grandma to get herself a computer and try the internet for shopping, instead of insisting on shopping at overpriced 'real' shops!
