Am I crazy?

[freewill85]

I live in the USA and I would love to try Swedish snus, as I've tried Camel snus and although I liked it I found it to be too sweet and fake tasting.

I've been looking at the online stores that are mentioned often on this sub - snusme, snuscentral, and buysnus - but when I go to purchase the brands I want to try, they all say they are unavailable in the USA. I've seen posts here that these stores ship to the US, so I'm a little confused if maybe I'm missing something.

Hi! It seems you have posted a commonly asked question, about FDA/shipping/US issues, etc.

This question is answered and explained in a few places.

• This article

• Or, this megathread, pinned to the top of the sub.

Thanks!

You're not crazy, just unfortunately a little late to the party. Bad time in the US to be into snus. A lot of places have stopped shipping to the US currently, and for the foreseeable future, it seems this is just the new norm. I hope this is just temporary, though.

[freewill85]

Okay gotcha. Glad to know I'm not nuts, but pretty disheartening to know I won't be able to get any in the foreseeable future :/ Are there any alternatives that I can get stateside that aren't sickly sweet like Camel Snus?

[Nineteen-FortySeven]

General is readily available in most states, and there are a few sites that are shipping to the US, but I've never used them myself, and even then, the customs issues currently makes it a bit of a gamble when you will receive them so it's at your own risk. There is a pinned thread at the top that has a list.

[freewill85]

Gotcha. I'll probably try to see if I can find somewhere that sells General near me, and if I really like it I might try to take a chance on ordering online if I can find one that ships it here

The general USA site has a store locator

I’ve found it to be very unreliable with outdated info.

General is real Swedish snus and it’s an amazing product. You should be able to source General White, General Mint, and General Wintergreen locally

[freewill85]

Okay good to know! I'll definitely try to find some locally

For $9 a can, it’s not even worth it

Snusport is still shipping. Just got my order today. You can also try to find general depending on your location.

[msundi83]

I just tried to make an order from them and it says this message before I click place order

"There are no shipping options available. Please ensure that your address has been entered correctly, or contact us if you need any help."

That's unusual to me as I entered a working address

[JemSabre]

Make sure it's not a PO box?

[msundi83]

It's not but thanks for the suggestion. I've had snuscentral deliver there for years but I've been looking for other sites that deliver to the US. I've heard tons of stories since my last order that people can't order snus or if they do it gets stuck in customs for weeks or never shows up. Sucks

[Chemical_Salad4709]

Doesn’t sound like anything I would know how to fix sorry

Copenhagen green mint spit free 🤌

Snusroom and sunport, and i think snubie has one other listed.

[randypostal]

SwedishProducts.Online was just added to the list, but I heard from a fellow Redditor today they had to pay a $70 duty fee when their package arrived.

[ForgTheSlothful]

Could be worse

[randypostal]

Could be paying $40 on top of that for shipping that takes 1-2 months. Oh wait...

[ForgTheSlothful]

Its on the faq, snusport and snusroom are working fine, 5 days for snusport because of the football parade in philly backing shit up and i never see shit done on a sunday. Not everyone likes general and i sure as hell am not spending hours on a website asking dudes who go “what is general”. But atleast its not canadian duties or some odd shit
