Estervals To Recommence Shipping to USA [5.23.21]

[greeneyes]

I thought some of you would be happy to know that Estervals has decided that DHL Express is a safe option for shipping to the USA. I was able to convince Andreas Harm, Estervals CEO, to conduct a little "test" to see if the DHL Express logistics would in fact provide a door-to-door service, thus obviating the mysterious recurring logistics problem at USPS. The shipping is a little more expensive but the benefits certainly outweigh the costs for larger orders. As a final note I ought to say that my tobacco arrived in Minneapolis from Germany in two days.

I for one am relieved to be able to place an order again at Estervals, and not have it be another round of postal Russian roulette.

Wow, that Elwood tin has some really cool tin art. Never heard of it. Thanks for doing this and letting us know.

Thank goodness I didn't have the issues other people have had. Thank you for doing this for the community, awesome work.

I will let Jesse try it out first…

Wonderful news!! By the way, how is that Brullende Leuw? I ordered two in my only Esterval’s order a long time ago but haven’t cracked one yet.

Its great. It's like a Balkan Sasieni with toasty notes. Very clean and refined. Doesn't wear out the palate.

Awesome and well done!

Thanks for the communication and legwork on this. Much appreciated.

Congratulations on helping find a solution to this issue.

I can't believe you bought Elwood. You should know it has become something of a running gag between jiminks and moi.

Thank you!

Estervals doesn't list the shipping price for DHL Express, just DHL. Do you know where to find the rates for DHL Express?

 

[sablebrush52]

Just to get an idea I downloaded DHL Express US and did a backward comparison for a 4 lb non document shipment from the US to Germany, figuring it would be similar the other way around. Comes out to slightly less than $200.

I don't know but when I order from over seas the express always says it will get to me the same day as the regular just earlier in the day.

Hi Jesse, this (below) is the option that appears in my checkout menu. I asked Andreas to be certain and that's the one. Other shipping options for USA have been disabled.

Bought? It was a kind gift in return for the heroic effort involved in letting him use my address.

It's the reason I wanted to try it. I've heard about this stuff every week for as long as I can remember, so I decided a tobacco as "famous" as this (for better or worse) decided a try.

 

[sablebrush52]

I'll be interested to hear about how others do with their orders. If it is stable I'll go for another order.
