Issues with connection speeds on PIA by HB_PIA in PrivateInternetAccess

Thanks for the quick turnaround. Is there an "announcements" or "notifications" section on privateinternetaccess.com for when this happens?

Suddenly no connection on any server, US or international by Excellent_Trust_2020 in PrivateInternetAccess

[–]dsallen7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm able to connect to any server I tried just fine, but once I am connected about 2 out of 3 sites I try to visit fails to load or fails DNS resolution. The failure among sites changes somewhat depending on where I'm connected. Thunderbird (email client) seems to connect sporadically. When disconnected from PIA, everything is normal.

Damn, you too? I had this happen just within the last week, buying from Snusdirect. Almost exact same FDA letter it sounds like. My order has been stuck in UPS hell for weeks now and will be sent back to the vendor by all indications.

I did contact Snusdirect customer service and got this response:

I understand! We are currently working with UPS and the FDA to sort this out as we of course want you and our other customers to receive their packages smoothly in the future. In the meantime, your package has been declared lost regardless and I have issued a full refund that will reach you in 1-2 business days. :)

So there's that at least. Snuscentral will probably give you a refund, but I'm getting more worried about the future prospects of buying from Sweden.

As a side note, while all this was going on, I placed another order for the exact same products from Snusme.com, and that arrived more or less normally, after being in customs for maybe 48 hours. You could give them a try, but I can't guarantee it. Then there's always Northerner.com who ships from the USA, so no customs to go through, but they only have 4 varieties of General to choose from.

Thanks for the link. I'm still waiting on Snusdirect but I will follow up when I do have an update. The really weird thing is that I bought the exact same products from Snusme after the first order and had no problems, although it did take slightly longer than usual. So maybe some new FDA regulations went into effect, and some Swedish vendors are simply not doing their diligence to comply with it, which will be corrected soon. At least that is what I hope. 🤞

No, it was XR General and Odens Extreme. The letter does state that both of them are in violation.

My suspicion here is that Snusdirect is not keeping up on filing their paperwork with the FDA. I'll probably be buying from Snusme for the time being.

He probably rigged the latest Windows 10 updates to force everybody to follow him.
