Greetings fellow Snustopians! As you know, I created Snustopia to share Swedish Snus with the entire world. "Well," I thought "I've gone thru the why's, the what's and the how's but, I never went thru the where's very well". Today, we will discuss just that! You definitely can't try something without knowing where to get it and, get it rather quickly. GetSnus.com will take care of these issues!
If you remember from the first post, I said back then that the best places you could buy snus online were headquartered in Sweden like BuySnus.com and Northerner.com. That was then. Now, a new player in the online snus shops has emerged in the US.
GetSnus.com is a company headquartered in Pennsylvania. Although they are affiliated with the Swedish Match company (the same Swedish Match that has the General brands of snus), they carry other snus brands as well. GetSnus is a relatively new company, opened this year, and began with a limited vareity of snus. The brands they started with were General portions and General lös, Ettan and Catch Dry labels. As of the writing of this review, they now carry these brands along with the V2 brands Phantom (lös and portion) and Offroad (Lös and portions), Röda Lacket (Lös and Portion), Göteborgs Rapé White Portion, Nick & Johnny East, West and Orginal portion and Grovsnus (lös and portion). According to their reps, they will keep expanding their selection as they grow but, keep in mind that it was only a month ago that they only carried the General brands, Ettan and Catch! If they continue this rate of growth, they will become the Number One shop here in Snustopia!
One reason they are the favorite here, is the fact that their shipping is the best of all the shops I've tried. Overseas shops give you the option to ship thru other carriers but regular post is the least expensive. GetSnus ships UPS and will ship for free with orders over $50.00 USD! I placed orders with the two shops I mentioned above and with GetSnus to get a speed comparison. Obviously, GetSnus won with a time of 3 business days from PA to IL. Northerner and BuySnus were tied with 7 business days from Sweden to IL. Even though we here in Snustopia still use Northerner and BuySnus for brands not carried by GetSnus, GetSnus gets our business for the staple snus.
Customer service is top notch and, the quality of the product is great! This is great and all but, what are their prices like? Are they comparable to the other 2? Here's the funny part! In select states, you can go to your local Tobacco shop (Tobacco shop, not the local cheap smokes shop) and buy General Brand snus. In that shop, you may pay up to $5.00 USD a can for General Portion snus. Northerner charges $3.60 USD and BuySnus.com charges $3.80 USD. GetSnus charges $3.50 USD!!! This will be the same snus you buy in the Tobacconist shop here in the US for $1.50 more!!!! I know your saying "Shipping costs Snus Guy, shipping costs!" Here's an example of shipping costs, I ordered 15 cans of snus from GetSnus and paid $4.95 USD shipping by UPS! That's half the amount of the Swedish Post and, 4 days quicker!
Don't believe me? Try it yourself! This company is so confident you'll like snus and their company that, they will send you your choice of one from 5 different snus' for the cost of shipping!!! That's $1.00 to you and me! (new customers only please). You don't have to order anything else! This is your opportunity to not only try Swedish Snus, if you already haven't but, to give GetSnus a try as well. Here's some homework due the next time we get together, spend a dollar, order the free can of snus from GetSnus.com (their link is on the top right of this page) and post your experience with snus and GetSnus!

I'm stoked on their ever-expanding selection. My favorite snus in 'General' are SM brands anyway. I'm stoked on the trial offer, that's a great way to get people into snus...now if they could introduce me to the smiley office girl in their video...
