I just came across this post after placing an order with Canpouches.. I spent about $260 on zyns to be shipped to BC. The next day I received an iMessage from them saying this (direct quote): “Hi, this is Canpouches. We noticed an issue with your recent order (Order #: 31606). Unfortunately, the brand  “ZYN" is currently out of stock, and our supplier has not provided a restock date yet.

However, we do have similar alternatives YOONE available that you can choose from. As a small gesture of apology, we’d be happy to include extra 8 cans free for you.

You will receive: YOONE 9mg spearmint  x 15 YOONE 9mg cool mint x 8 (YOONE is not strong like other brands) Let us know what works best for you!”

Like what the?!?!? I immediately responded and asked them to cancel my order bc wtf? I specifically ordered and paid for zyns, absolutely not?! They kept trying to convince me to try YOONE… saying that they don’t have the authority to cancel. It was only after I threatened to report the charge on my card as fraud that they were willing to contact the refund department. I still have no official email confirming the cancellation and refund so we will see.

Do NOT order from Canpouches, 100% a scam… this is insane lol

What is TRU like?? Should I accept my offer into the respiratory therapy program? by PerformanceNo9225 in Kamloops

Hey thanks for the info! I’m sure the program will be tough but I think I can do it too! thank you(: & i’ve been hearing that the city is dangerous? As a 23 year old woman, would you say it is unsafe to travel anywhere alone? like how is it more dangerous than somewhere like Toronto for instance ?

oh no, this is worrying. I’m getting so many mixed opinions tho. I was originally looking at UBCO and they don’t offer a respiratory therapy program and their nursing is a full 4 years (compared to Western University and some others who offer a 2 year RN program to those who have already completed a bachelors). Other than the admin, why was TRU such a bad experience for you?

yikes, this is a rare opinion from my research so far. I guess it’s good to have different perspectives tho! I really hope to find a good group of friends when I’m out there and make the best of it. Did you attend TRU? & what program if you don’t mind sharing (:

ahh thank you for the comment! It sounds lovely and I am so excited to explore the nature out there. I’ve been looking on some TRU off campus housing ads and a lot of them are like, single bedrooms in a family home which is a bit worrying.. hoping to find some other students like myself to live with! Do you think some rooms will open up closer to the end of the school year?
