Depending on your state tax rate, snuscentral is probably the best way to go. I got an order not long ago and they aren't charging tax. Not to mention that northerner is higher priced on most snus and especially general brand.

My state tax rate isn't high. Also. I have never ordered from Northerner, having always placed orders with Buysnus. For my next order, I was going to order from premiumsnus.com, which is the US Buysnus warehouse, from what I understand. Since I am switching to los only, I was going to purchase a roll of Offroad Licorice, Offroad Frosted and perhaps a role of Phantom Blue. What can I expect to pay for shipping on three rolls?

Still trying to figure out what premiumsnus is. They are not a US warehouse distributer of buysnus. Buysnus does not have a US warehouse. There prices are also higher then buysnus so I'm guessing they are not connected. I was thinking perhaps they are one of the many incarnations of Northerner but I'm not sure about that. Did you pay any state taxes? I'm guessing you didn't as it was likely shipped from Sweden.

To bad they don't carry one of my favorite loose snus which is Gellivare. Northerner is still the only one who carries it and I'm not about to pay the outrageous state taxes on smokeless in WI.

If you live in a low tax state PACT was not a big a deal outside of higher shipping cost. Living in a high tax state is a whole different experience.

I thought premiumsnus WAS Buysnus US warehouse, but I could well be wrong on that point. However, premiumsnus and Buysnus ARE the same company. Click the links for each website and scroll to the bottom of the pages. You will find the following:

© MaKe WeBo 2010 (Buysnus)
By MaKe WeBo (premiumsnus)

MaKe WeBo is the company behind both websites. I believed Premiumsnus was the US warehouse for Buysnus, since premiumsnus does not have all of the inventory shown on the Buysnus website. Again, my assumption could be incorrect. There is a wee bit of info on the MaKe WeBo company here.

There prices are also higher then buysnus so I'm guessing they are not connected.

A roll of Offroad Licorice los is $21.72 on Buysnus and $20.17 on premiumsnus, although, Buysnus discounts on quantities of several rolls. I ordered from premiumsnus because I assumed the shipping would be cheaper and get here faster, rather than ordering from Sweden. In checking the cost of the same order at Buysnus as I placed with premiumsnus, the cost is actually higher, due to shipping, with a total of $155 on Buysnus, as compared to $132 of premiumsnus. Buysnus charges $35.94 for shipping, instead of a flat $20 on premiumsnus, and additionally Buysnus charges $21.72 for a roll of Phantom Blue, instead of $15.75 per roll on premiumsnus, although Buysnus discounts half the cost of the 6th roll on the order for $10.86.

I'm guessing you didn't as it was likely shipped from Sweden.

I haven't received the order yet, so I don't know.

To bad they don't carry one of my favorite loose snus which is Gellivare. Northerner is still the only one who carries it and I'm not about to pay the outrageous state taxes on smokeless in WI.

I would like to try the Oden's Kanel, although I would have to make a pris half the size of one click on a 3 ml Icetool due to the nic level, but I've never ordered from Northerner and don't ever plan to.

I wondered if that was behind some of the PACT alarm.
