This company has gone WOKE ordered every other month 25 cans 300 plus dollars every other month. Go to order Dec 2024 can't reorder my product. No notice or anything that NOW they only carry tobacco free products. I'm sure I'm not the only one who ordered tobacco products from them. Some companies just don't like making money. Go woke or go broke hope they fold in 25. Plus I stayed with them even when they could never meet the next day shipping that cost 80 bucks.

Rip Off
February 15, 2017

Order took one month to arrive. Cost $70 to get from Canada Post. Opened package to find two tins missing and some tobacco mints that I never ordered. Very upset and hope these types of businesses go away quickly.

When a review of a company has more one star reviews than not it means stay away. Any of their 4 and 5 star reviews were probably written by an employee of theirs to make them look better.

My order was apparently "shipped" over a month ago near the beginning of Feb 2017... It is now March 10. Nothing. Don't waste your money with this company.

They have always delivered what I order, never missed a beat. I know I can rely on them to deliver within 2 weeks. After 10 orders with no problems, so I am sure they are good people. I live in Japan and the postal service is very good here, so things don't go missing. Only once was parcel stopped by customs. I had ordered loose and it was heavy, so they charged me, but that is the way it is. Best to order in 5 tins and mixed, but Northerner are smart about this too, splitting orders to make them less attractive to customs.

Thanks to Northerner for the hassle free service and decent international shipping!

I'm very impressed with the Northerner. I have placed two orders so far to Saskatchewan. The first was 4 tins and duty was $40 -- I paid roughly $25 on the site -- so a grand total of $65 for four tins. My second order was $30 on the site for a roll of Copenhagen Long Cut. Paid $48 in duty. Each took about four weeks to arrive.

The cost of a log in Saskatchewan would be $142.50 at a convenience store. I paid only $78 (tax, duty, shipping) total. Very impressed. Huge savings, better dip than what's available in Canada, and fresh sell by dates.

I've read some Canadians were getting gouged $110 per log in duty, but that hasn't been true so far in my case.

Stay away, confirmed order January 27 2017, it is now March 7, nothing. Is this outright fraud, or incompetence? Who cares, don't order from this company. If your experience is like mine, and seemingly most other people, you will pay your money and never receive a thing.

Excellent help.
October 18, 2016

I've just read through the reviews and I totally disagree. I asked about the problem with the age verification in the UK it was sorted within about 2-3 days. Angelica was an excellent help and I would not under any circumstances. I appreciate its irritating but after simply sending a photo of my ID it was all good! I would happily rate this website and its customer service a 10/10.

Received 2 out of 15 tubs no money back
August 11, 2023

I paid for 15 tubs of dip and only received 2. I sent at least 4 "Contact Us" questionaires through their website throughout 2 months but never one response. No email, call, or voicemail. I finally decide to call them and they say it's been too long to get any money back or the 13 they didn't ship. They talked to me like I'm an idiot, to which I agree, but ain't my fault I didn't get what I paid for. I don't care if it's 2 months or 2 days or 2 years, both sides are supposed to hold up their side of the deal, but they don't give a crap about their customers. If they can run you over, they will, just be warned.

I've been ordering since 2015 and live in Tokyo. I calculated that I have ordered about 260 tins from them. Sometimes the shipment takes time, but it has always arrived within 3 weeks. Yes, the client support sucks at times... definitely hit and miss. But they are not taking money and not sending product. And yes, I have to pay duty. For people who are complaining about getting ripped off, you need to remember that they are not in control of your country's custom and duty policy. That is not the definition of being ripped off, that is your mistake for not understanding your own country's duty regs.

My first package arrived in just 5 working days to CZ, but unfortunately my second package got lost. Their helpdesk was so nice and dare and they refunded to me by store credit so i was able to place my order again. I have absolutely no problem with this supplier and would recommend it to everybody any time.

Ordered dip to EU
March 8, 2017

I was craving for some dip. Ordered it from here, paid with Wire Bank Transfer (strange that they dont accept credit cars and you have to order at least 25 Euros worth of their products). The payment reached them quickly, and they shipped my order the same day. Shipping to Lithuania (EU border) via regular mail service, propably usps reached me in 9.5 working days. Dip was also fresh and moist. The only company that ships dip, chew and other american goodness worldwide! Im satisfied with their service. Iwish there were more interesting projects like this one. The customer support could be better, and also shipping with tracking/free shipping would be terrific. Will definetly come back again!

Still waiting
January 21, 2016

I placed an order on Dec 30 and today is Jan 21st still nothing delivered. I sent an email to customer service, I received a response back about a week later telling me it was basically out of their hands that it had shipped already. I have ordered 3 other times previously and the shipments normally showed within a couple of weeks but now who knows. Looks like I will be moving to another company for future orders.

Dear Barry, depending on which products you order, shipping can take up to 14 business days from the warehouse location. We do our best to ship orders shortly after placement. If you like you can provide us with your order details in a private message so we can look into this matter. Sincerely, Northerner

Northerner changed
November 3, 2015

What happened to Northerner? They used to be very good, now not so much. Recently I was targeted for a marketing campaign aimed at gold members. I put in an order at a discount. Three days later they had further reductions as part of a seasonal sale, the discount was far higher. The difference in cost to me was significant enough that I got in touch with customer support to complain. The attitude was atrocious, and I was left with no illusions that the rep could care less. The whole episode has been a big change from my dealings with Northerner before. Sorry Northerner you lost a long time customer, I don't appreciate being ripped off and dealing with ignorant customer service reps.

Gold member here with northerner.com, I've bought a ton of chew, snus pipe tobacco and dip.

northerner.com have always had an issue with delayed orders, slow shipping and awful reply time from customer service, we know this.
We also know that at some point, 3 weeks, a month, the order should arrive.

You end up getting to the point when again you have trouble, this time half an order arrives, and you wait another month, nothing arrives so you contact customer services who take 5 days to reply with a generic email.

This means again, your order is either lost or been sent back to them, oh, and they don't re send!.

Its all become far too much hassle to order again, the long drawn out wait, the zero tracking on orders, no care attitude from customer services I have come to the conclusion its time to move onto another vendor.

It feels great to finally say that!

Dear Ichiban, we are sorry to hear you are not satisfied with our services. How long an order needs to ship depends on your location, which products you order (they are shipped from different countries) and it also depends on the payment method. A bank transfer can take up to 5 business days, international shipping can take up to 14 business days - which is beyond our control. Best regards, Northerner

The worst company i ever dealt with! I will never order from them again, and I suggest no other human being buy from them unless you want to set yourself up for big trouble. No reply back on the "help desk" tickets. I have now sent 7 tickets with no reply and they have my $150. They have the next day delivery option - but never ship out within 2 weeks - so you pay 60 dollars and get your package 2 weeks later if at all. Currently waiting for my beginning of December order. Enough is enough! Dont order from them!

I received only 25% of the sending I paid for and the product was super dry, got charged twice and the company told me: You have provided a wrong address therefore I should be lucky that I even received some of the goods! I am very certain that the address I provided was correct and the dispute is still going on. Things like that can happen but the arrogant way the company replies and let the customer be the stupid one in that whole game is unacceptable. STAY AWAY from THEM!

In the "additional information" section, it says "quantity: one roll equals 5 cans". Thus when I placed my order for quantity "10", I naturally assumed I was ordering 10 rolls. Imagine my surprise when I received a package with only 10 cans in it and was charged $96 for this! This is a total rip off. I have contacted customer service regarding their fraudulent practices and am awaiting a reply. I have already contacted the Better Business Bureau and have consulted with an attorney. Anyone else have this problem?

Lost my money and my order. I ordered a legal amount of snus for Australia (3 tins) and was charged 10 times the cost in duty fees. I've got friends who ordered in the US and their orders didn't even arrive at all.

Dear Fred, depending on products and destination, fees can be charged for importing tobacco products. We are sorry to hear that the fees were that high - unfortunately this is beyond our control and we recommend to check with your local customs office before placing an order. We also suggest that your friends in the US contact our customer service so that we can look into this matter. Thank you and best regards, Northerner

Ordered 5 tins may 31 and it's now June 25 and haven't got anything they say that it is lost in mail but my local post office states that they do indeed have a tracking number and the post office seems to think that they just did not ship my order. Not impressed

Dear Erik, contrary to the statement of your local post office we do unfortunately NOT have a tracking option for regular shipping. We're very sorry that your order did not arrive - it is certainly not in our interest to simply not ship orders. We have already given you a refund for this order after you have been in touch with our customer service. If there is anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to stay in touch with our customer service team through the ticket you have already opened. Thank you / Mikael
