Shipping snuff tins

[rd02sir]

I know this isn't the best place to ask but hey...
I'm currently in the works of making a deal with a fellow member. I am trading 4 10g snuff tins for some tobacco. I'm wondering how o send these full tins states side without getting harassed? If they open the package, it would be fairly obvious since it says "TOQUE SNUFF" right on the tin. Should I box it up as normal and label discreetly, then head to the post office? I've received samples, but all were in unlabeled zip locks.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

First we need to know where you are.Are you in America? If you are, then id say just put in in a box and ship it. I was given a sample by a member here and he just put it in a box and shiped it

Are you shipping to America?

i just sent to USA mate and im in canada. they told me at post office if i dont declare whats in it, customs will tear it open. so i put down tobacco as a gift, and put a 5 or 7 dollar vlaue on it. had to fill out a separate form as well'

You are shipping to America, I should have read better. I think if you say what it is you will be fine. Ive bought snuff from England and it got here fine

nsfisher- so they still allowed you to mail it even though it was tobacco?

 

[nsfisher]

yes, u must declare it as tobacco and as a Gift, I sent 2oz of nantucket cherry to zanthal. U got to fill out 2 or 3 short forms tho. The padded envelope and shipping cost me total of $8.52
