Free Pouch Above CA$99

We are Velo Canada

We sell nicotine pouches. Only pouches. Right now that means 1,170 listings from 74 brands, all of them tobacco-free, priced in Canadian dollars and posted from British Columbia.

The VELO name on the door tells you where we started. It does not tell you where we stop.

VELO gets the most shelf space

We carry 115 VELO lines at the moment, running from 4 mg to 20 mg a pouch. Every one of them has its own page, and that page prints the dose, how many pouches are in the can and what the can weighs. If you already know the flavour and strength you want, search for it and you will land on exactly that can rather than a family page you have to dig through.

Beside it sit 11 brands with something in stock today, including ZYN, VELO, Killa, LOOP, PABLO. We keep pages for 74 in total. When a brand sells out we leave its page up, specs and all, and simply take the buy button away until the cans come back.

Four habits of this shop

  1. We do not take cards. You pay by Interac e-Transfer from your own bank, or in crypto through NOWPayments, which takes 10% off. We would rather you learned that here than at the end of checkout.
  2. Stock is a live count. When you open a product page, it asks how many cans are actually on hand. Once a can hits zero, the add buttons go everywhere it appears and a back-in-stock sign-up takes their place.
  3. Postage follows the real parcel. Spend CA$150 and shipping is on us. Under that, the rate is worked out from your address and the mailer or box your cans would actually go into.
  4. First paid, first packed. We do not set cans aside for an order that has not been paid yet. That way the number you see is stock that is really here.

The figures on our product pages

Milligrams, pouch counts, formats and can weights come from the packaging and from each maker’s own product information, one can at a time. If a number is not published anywhere, our page says so. We would rather leave a gap than guess. How we plan to write the rest of the site is set out on our Editorial Standards page.

Before the buy button

Every can we list is already on a shelf in British Columbia.

We do not wait for your order to buy the can, and no supplier posts it to you on our behalf. Cartons come in from Swedish wholesale, we open them, read them and count them, and the cans stay here in Canada until somebody orders one. You see the result on every product page: the stock figure is fetched from our count when you load it, so it is never a number left over from the last time the site was built.

A real number

The figure on a product page is our hand count in British Columbia. When it reaches zero, the can comes off sale on its own.

Packs and singles share one count

A ten-pack draws on the same single cans we sell loose, so we can never sell the same tin twice, once on its own and once inside a pack.

Postage from the real parcel

We work out which of our own mailers or boxes your cans fit in, and quote postage for that parcel instead of charging one flat rate to everybody.

Where the cans start

Bought in Sweden, sitting in British Columbia before you order

Our VELO, and everything else we sell, comes to us through Swedish wholesale distribution. We keep the purchase paperwork for every lot. By the time a can has a buy button on Velo Canada, it is already in a box in British Columbia, which is why your parcel leaves from here and not from a warehouse overseas.

Today that includes ZYN, VELO, Killa, LOOP, PABLO. We also sell to other shops by the carton, and the same stock serves both. What we try to get right is simple to say: the description matches the can, the count matches the shelf, and an email to us gets an answer.

Our receiving routine

A carton is not stock until we have been through it

A pallet arriving does not change the number on a product page. Labels differ from brand to brand and from one European market to the next, so we treat each delivery on its own. This is the order we do it in.

  1. 1

    Paperwork first

    We match what arrived against what we bought from the Swedish supplier, and the documents go into our sourcing file.

  2. 2

    Every label, read

    Format, can size and the strength printed on the lid can all change between market versions of one flavour, so we read them rather than assume them.

  3. 3

    Codes checked

    Batch marks, barcodes and any 2D codes, on loose tins and on multipack sleeves alike, wherever the maker has printed them.

  4. 4

    Counted onto the shelf

    Only then does the delivery join our Canadian stock, for shop and wholesale orders, at the number that physically arrived.

Below are photographs of cartons we have actually received. Brands, flavours and quantities change as deliveries land and cans sell, so they are a record of past deliveries and not a list of what is in stock. For today’s stock, check the shelf itself.

Questions we get about the codes on a lid

Which codes might I find?
That changes from brand to brand, and with the country a can was made for. Look for a batch mark, a normal barcode, a QR code, or a small square 2D DataMatrix on the tin or its sleeve. Some carry several.
What happens when I scan one?
A QR code often opens the maker’s own product page. A DataMatrix or GS1 code is different: it usually holds data rather than a link, such as a GTIN, a lot number or a serial number.
My scan opened nothing. Is that bad?
No. Plenty of 2D codes are not meant to open a website, and a blank result says nothing about whether a can is genuine. Code formats change between brands, markets and print runs, and our stock is European-market supply, so expect variety.

Something on a can you received does not look right? Tell us and we will look into it.
