What's under your lip/in your nose right now? - Part 2

[Burnie]

Just looked at placing a panic order with snus24, and they are shipping Postnord instead of UPS, which from what I read, takes 3 to 4 weeks.

Might make another order of the Super Dry pouches for stock, but would go with the Buster, which have more tobacco in the pouches. I took 4 of the Fat Boy pouches and made 3 pouches, which will be about like the Buster. I'll give them a few days to rehydrate and see what they are like, then think about another order.

I think it will come down at some point where all we will be able to order is Nicotine Pouches (non-tobacco products), JMHO

I got home and tried one of the major mint. It’s pretty good and would be a good replacement for general. I went straight to the snusme to place a stocking order and now they won’t ship to the U.S. This is so frustrating! If anyone finds a site that will ship it then please let me know.

Looked around and did not see any site that would ship the Major Mint.

**sigh** I'm beginning to think that I should have doubled that order I made last week. According to the Swedish tracking, my order has left Sweden. Tried to get into USPS' website and guess what's not working right now.

I did some digging and it appears Homeland Security has been upping their game regarding tobacco shipments coming from outside the country. Orders are making it into the country and then languishing in purgatory based on HHS holds. Hopefully current shipments (including mine!) will make it through, but it seems due to the crackdown, foreign makers are suspending shipments until this crap is straightened out.

So blame the HHS and the FDA. Actually, blame Congress for passing The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.

I was going to ask if yours got shipped. Don’t be surprised if it sits in customs for 1-2 weeks. Mine did. I was going to order at least 6 rolls of the moose if they would have accepted my order. None of the remaining sites carry it from what I’ve found. I didn’t want to make the same mistake I did on the Kapten and over buy without trying it. I regret that. I should have put in a big order to start. Instead I just got two rolls to try it. Had customs not held it so long then I probably could have gotten another order in before they cut us off.

I hope you’re wrong. I like several of the 77 nic pouches but don’t want to have to survive on them alone.

Snusme was the only one I found. I emailed them and played stupid asking why I couldn’t place another order after I just received one from them today. Maybe I can get someone to feel sorry for me. I doubt it.

I am also thinking of using the 77 pouches as filler, just to make the Snus I have last longer.

I’ve been getting some of the light and medium ones. The light are nice for between snus portions for a flavor break and the medium when I want more of a nic hit.

Anyone ever order Snus that was shipped Postnord? From what I am reading it is like the overseas USPS, which means once the order gets here, it is handed off to the USPS for final delivery. But I thought you could not ship tobacco USPS which is why everything was going through UPS. I am real leery to try to place an order that gets shipped Postnord because USPS might not accept it for delivery because it has tobacco in it, and send it back or confiscate it. Anyone have any thoughts or experience on this?

I decided to place another order at snusroom, I ordered 2 bags of the Buster Super Dry and some flavor concentrate they sell for them. I got the 3 flavors for free because I used the code SNUSROOM15 to get 15% off the order, which saved me a little more than the cost of the flavors. They only ship once a week to the US, and the last order was shipped on Friday, so it will most likely be March before I see the order delivered.

I have been thinking about trying the space mint that they sell. Is that one of the flavors you bought? I thought about just getting a single pouch of it to try but I’m not sure about the flavor description.

As far as the PostNord thing goes, my thought is that usps isn’t supposed to be shipping ecig stuff either but they do it every day. I have a package with some coils on the way now from innokin via usps. I think it would make it to you ok.

Remember, international orders are handled differently. Doesn't matter who gets it here in the US, it still has to go through some sort of customs run by the DHS. Some centers may be more understaffed than others, though.

Yes it is. I got Spacemint, Energy Drink (Red Bull), and Whiskey. Most of the others had Bergamot or Licorice, or something strange, which I don't want. Shipping ls lower the more you order, under $49 is $45 shipping & Over $49 is $32 shipping & Over $149 is free shipping.

Not sure I want to try the Postnord shipping, because of customs it will have to be marked on the package what is in it, so unless the vaping stuff comes from overseas it is not labeled what is in the package so USPS would not know, also coils are a lot different than a tobacco product.

I got two rdas for a review a couple days ago and Hellvape had their name all over the outside with their own packaging tape that has their name on it. It came from China.

It's depressing getting on here these days. Hit, your first sentence hgad me excited, then the second just took it away.

My heart sank when I went to place a stocking order for the moose after trying it and couldn’t check out. I keep hoping something will get figured out or more sites will go to PostNord shipping for us. I can wait a month or so for shipping as long as I can get it.

 

[hittman]

I started watching a video on snubietv and Larry Waters was on there. He said he was hopeful that shipping would get better since Trump took over.

Well seems no one has had an order shipped Postnord from Sweden, so I guess I'll be the Guinea pig. I ordered 3 rolls of nicotine pouches (they are out of all the Snus I want) to see, 1) does it make it to me and 2) how long does it take. I am guessing from what I read it will be 3 to 4 weeks unless it get held up at customs. I have over 1 1/2 years worth of snus in the freezer and will just use the pouches as fill-in to make the snus last longer. Hopefully by that time something will be worked out and we can order snus from overseas again.

I thought it was ok for them to ship nic pouches via UPS. If they had anything I wanted then I’d put in an order. My guess is that unless some other site starts using PostNord then they are probably going to be consistently low on stock.

I looked at snusme, put 1 roll of 77 pouches in my cart, the only shipping option was Postnord

 

[Burnie]

Been playing around with the size of the Fat Boy Super Dry. Made the pouch smaller using a heat sealer. Trying slim and shorter, I just don't like a pouch that is not full. I have them rehydrating and will test them next week to see how they feel in the lip.

My current shipment started via Postnord. It has supposedly left Sweden. Not much in the way of precise tracking info.
