Issues/Errors

• Why can't I see my order in my account?

  For an order to be linked to your account, you must be signed in at the time you place the order. If you were not signed into your account, the order will not appear in in the My Orders section of your account.

  If an order that you placed while logged into your account has not appeared in your list, you can contact our customer team here for help.

• I have not received an order or shipping confirmation, why?

  You should receive an order confirmation email automatically when you place an order. If you cannot see one, please check your junk or spam folder as it may have ended up there.

  You will receive a shipping confirmation once your order has been shipped from our warehouse. Although we aim to ship all orders as quickly as possible, please be aware that it may be a day or two before you receive a shipping confirmation email, or even longer if you have ordered products which are currently out of stock.

  If you have not received any order confirmation or it has been several days and you have not received a shipping confirmation, then please contact our customer service team here.

• My order has been cancelled but my money has been taken

  Stripe, Klarna, and PayPal are payment options where the amount is drawn straight from your account. If the amount is unavailable due to insufficient funds or if your bank doesn’t release the money immediately, your order will fail in our system. Once the instant payment has failed in our automated system we are unable to change the payment status of an order.

  If that is the case, please contact our customer service team here.

  It may be the case that your bank has reserved the funds, but did not transfer them to us when the payment failed. In this case the funds will be released back into your account automatically by your bank shortly.

• I was charged more than once for my order, why?

  We will never charge you multiple times for the same order, but if something goes wrong and the same order is placed multiple times then you will be charged for each. This could be because you have accidentally clicked the order button multiple times when going through the checkout. If this happens you will receive a separate order confirmation email for each order that has been processed. Please contact our customer support team here for help cancelling the additional orders that were placed in error.

  If you have not received multiple order confirmation emails, then it may be that your bank has both released funds to us and reserved funds in your account, therefore showing two transactions. In this case the reserved funds will be released back into your account shortly.

ABOUT NICOTINE POUCHES

• What are Nicotine Pouches?

  What are they?

  Nicotine Pouches are the new and modern way of using Nicotine without using tobacco or compromising on flavour.

  They are discreet, comfortable & fresh, designed to be used wherever and whenever you want a burst of flavour and a hit of Nicotine. The products do not contain any tobacco whatsoever, but do contain Nicotine that is extracted from the Nicotiana Tabacum plant.

  A unique blend of natural fibres, fresh flavours, Nicotine extract and a small amount of chewing gum base gives the portion bags an optimal softness that fits discreetly under your lip.

  Who’s it for?

  Nicotine Pouches are a great option for anyone who is looking to move away from tobacco products, whether for health reasons, for convenience or simply for a fresher and cleaner taste.

  How do I use Nicotine Pouches?

  Simply place the pouch between your top lip and gum and leave it there as long as you want.

  What is the difference between smokeless tobacco and these products?

  Nicotine Pouches contain no tobacco at all, but all the Nicotine effect of regular smokeless tobacco products.

• Ingredients

  The effect of the pouch can last up to around an hour, but most users tend to enjoy it for somewhere between 10 to 40 minutes. This may vary depending on the strength of the portion and the effect that you’re looking for.

  Is the product safe to swallow?

  No, it’s not safe to swallow a pouch. Always discard your used pouch in the extra compartment on the can, or in a trash can.

  What different strengths are there?

  Nicotine Pouches come in a wide variety of strengths, and each manufacturer uses their own scale to rank the strength of different products.

  At Northerner we use our own scale for all Nicotine products, ranking strength from 1 to 5, with one being the weakest and 5 the strongest. You will find a scale like the one below on every product page.

  Most products will also have specific information about the Nicotine content (in mg/gram) and the Portion Weight (in grams), if you want to know the exact Nicotine content of a product.

  What do the different strengths mean?

  The strength scale refers only to the Nicotine content and effect of a pouch, and doesn’t include other factors such as flavour.

  A 1 on the scale is the weakest available, these options are suitable for first timers, or people trying to reduce their Nicotine consumption or dependency.

  Most regular strength pouches score a 2 or 3, with a 3 being on the strong side.

  A 4 is a very strong pouch, for most brands this will be the strongest Nicotine Pouch available in their range. Pouches of this strength are only suitable for experienced users who want a real hit of Nicotine!

  A 5 on the scale is seriously strong stuff, and we certainly don’t recommend this to anyone who has not used Snus before. But if you know what you’re doing and you want to test the limit when it comes to strength, then these are the portions for you!
