Regarding shipping times to the US

Here is some info about shipping to the US.

1. In the old days, most stores processed orders within 24 hours. At most, some would take 48 hours to process an order. Now, it’s not unheard of for the two remaining stores to take many, many days to process an order.
2. Once the order is out of the stores hands, the speed of shipping is not under their control. This goes for every e-store that ships to the US.
3. Clearance times are controlled by the FDA / UPS and the store has nothing to do with these.
4. Clearance is normal. Warehouse scans are normal. Location scans are normal.
   
5. The speed that clearance happens is random. Also, the store has no control over this.
6. The speed in which you get your delivery is random. The store also has no control over this.
7. Orders can get to you in as quick as 2 days, or can take much longer. A few weeks, or even up to a month or two. Again, the stores have no control over this, it is entirely up to UPS / FDA.

Stores Shipping To The US

NOTE: Snus sales are not banned to the US. Some products are on the "Red List", but many are not. Some stores have decided to stop selling to the US, but that is the store's choice, not an official act or ban from the US against import (at this time).

• Shipping Snus to the US: Snus24.com, SnusPort.com, SwedishProducts.online (NOTE: may incur duty fees, MrSnuff.com, SnusRoom.com (use code SNUSROOM15 for 15% off there).

• Not Currently Shipping Snus to the US: BuySnus.com, MySnus.com, Snus.us, SnusCENTRAL.com, SnusDaddy.com, SnusDirect.com, SnusExpress.com, SnusLine.com, SnusMe.com (many of these are shipping nicotine pouches to the US, but not snus)

If you order Red List products, it is at your own risk!

1. The Red List is available, on this sub. I keep it updated anytime a product is added.
2. If you order a Red List product, it may get through, it may not. You order these products at your own risk.
3. It is not the fault of any e-store if they don't get through, are returned, or are destroyed.
4. We advise you not to complain to the store, or try to do a chargeback, because this may lead to the last store shipping snus to us to stop completely.

Grov Loose Snus

Hey all,

I’ve been snussing for maybe 4 or so months now, love the stuff- I’ve had some basic snus, from general to lundgrens, from odens and Siberia and goteborgs rape etc. I’m a pouch guy, I really enjoy mint flavors- my favorite snus to date is the general mint. Good stuff. However, I recently tried my first loose snus, and I love the stuff.

The flavor is so much better than pouches. I’m not sure if it’s this specific brand/blend; or if it’s just that loose is that much different. But the flavor is wonderful and tastes way better than portions. Anyone else agree, and any other recommendations on loose brands?

I took a break from snus as the snus apocalypse was going down and I couldnt get some of my favorites anymore went back to Grizzly Natural. Just curious has things gotten any better or worse before I go trying to buy some snus as I dearly miss it, I just hate how inconvenient it is to get now days. Just easier to grab some Grizzly and go about my day.

Been snusing daily for 3 weeks now with almost no smoking and I feel a lot better. No more mucus, no smelling, no more having to go outside and so much more! I only smoked 2-3 cigarettes on 2 days and didn’t enjoy it really. I always thought I just craved the throat hit but I guess that was just my brain telling me it wants nicotine because with snus I don’t crave that anymore at all. The juice gives me somewhat of a throat hit too if using around 15mg. I’m so happy and at the same time disgusted on what I even did to myself, not looking back ever I hope. Never thought this would make me quit smoking and to anyone thinking the same just try it out!

Göteborgs Rapé is pretty tasty :)

I ordered some Oden's Vanilla Extreme and General Extra Strong from Snus24 on Mar 25. Shipped via UPS and held in Louisville ever since. I've gotten 2 FDA letters, one saying the Oden's can proceed but the General is held for examination. Then another letter saying the General is detained and again that the Oden's can proceed.

So my question is - how the heck do I get my Oden's!? I tried logging into the ITACS system but it seems to be for importers (like businesses), not individuals. There's an FDA contact listed on both letters (different people). Does anyone know if UPS will ship on with just the allowed lines and FDA detains the others or am I screwed and the whole order is just held?

Would appreciate any help! Here' what it shows in ITACS:

Nog Nederlanders die snus bestellen en via waar doen ze dat? Alvast bedankt✌️

Local Speedway gas station where I always buy my rolls from, pulled the rug out from under me yesterday. Next closest retailer I know of is 25 minutes away 🤦🏻‍♂️. Guess I’ll just have to buy 10 cans at a time instead of 5.

I really want to get a refill of Siberia All White Extremely Strong. I've been doing some research and plan on ordering on swedishproducts. Postnord is more expensive than UPS but for some reason I think Postnord is easier to get red list items than UPS? Is this true?

If so than I think it's worth it. I've seen some comments with people who placed their order with postnord shipping and even with red list items it still shows up.

Has anyone also ordered a red list item via postnord and it didn't show up?

Thanks!

tldr: I bought a tin of Siberia, didn't really enjoy it, threw it in my rubbish bin when done, whole room smells minty fresh now.

I've been using snus since I was a teenager several decades ago. Started with Göteborgs Rapé because I thought it tasted like candy.

Then in later years actual candy-like snus came out but it wasn't my thing. I went over to Ettan. I loved that wet, salty cardboard taste.

The years went on, I got older and realised Ettan is way too expensive, so I started going for cheap General copies like Kaliber, Kronan, or Granit. Later on Smålands Brukssnus came along so that became my 'hing.

Roll the timepiece even further and I was introduced to Kapten by my brother-in-law. I haven't cared to look up with they fill these with, but it's become my favourite because of how big and pillowy the pouches are. It really marks its presence under the lip.

This lasted until maybe one year ago. They changed design on the tins, and with that also the pouches. They got the "put them all in a tidy circle in the tin because that will take away from the fact that we've made both the pouches and the total content smaller"-treatment like the more expensive 'elite' brands (General, Ettan, Grov, etc.) already had.

Anyway, Kapten x-tra stark will continue to be my goto for the foreseeable future despite the changes, but because of taste, size, strength, and maybe most importantly price.

Im thinking about making my own pouches of like green tea and stuff. Im not a fan of loose but idk how I would go about making a pouch. Any ideas would be great though. Thanks

Hello, I made my first Snus order back in November, I got a lot of Kapten Mint X-Strong. I kept it in the box it shipped in til April located in my room. I just now moved it to the fridge. They are unopened and I was wondering if there is a way to rehydrate snus considering I realized I should have been keeping them in the fridge this entire time.

When I smoked weed I remember this trick where you put an orange peel with your weed and it would rehydrate it and make it fluffy again. Does the same sort of idea work with snus? Looking forward to getting help from you all.

I’ve had an order stuck in Louisville for a month pending release from a government agency. I know that’s not nearly as long as some of you have waited but should I recall some people saying they gave UPS/the agency as ring and it was cleared next day. Is this true or at least, advisable

I've been trying to place an order with the few online vendors still shipping to USA, but no one seems to ship to Iowa. Apparently there are several states that forbid tobacco shipments. I'm thinking the reason I had previously been able to order (without issue) from SnusMe.com is that Iowa doesn't actually enforce the ban on tobacco shipments.

Anyway, there must be a workaround. Of course, I could drive to a neighboring state to pick up an order, but I might as well grab some General for $6 from my local tobacco shop.

Could it work to place an order shipped to a UPS Store in another state, and then after it ships, have UPS redirect it to my Iowa address? Any other ideas?

Just hydrated my super dry portions yesterday. Do I really need to let them sit for 4 days? I only have Islay whiskey and Fint left and I'm really craving some other flavors lol.
