L'Oignon Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I've been kicking around for a week now waiting for USPS shipping calculators to come back so I can start ordering stuff again (I know Tarik is taking orders through email, but I'm just much more comfortable in the long run doing it through a site).I think I'm going to place two ordersThe first order is going to be a mya acrylic to replace the ol' mitsuba that I've been using for the last year.The second order is going to be of some shisha. I decided to do it seperately because I figure I'll almost certainly get nailed at customs if I'm bringing something into the country that looks like a bong.I think I'm going to go for Layalina Watermelon, and then another flavour. I was thinking of smiley's, now I'm leaning towards SB Blueberry, and I dont know whats going on. If anyone has a suggestion to help straighten things out, go right ahead (I decided against Tangiers since I'm still a greenhorn at this hookah business and I hear you have to be somewhat experienced to get it going well).So what are you planning on ordering when the veil finally lifts and USPS starts taking orders again?

Canuck Noob Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 A Medium Tangiers Funnel Bowl, Scalli Mod, Plastic Hose Tips, and some Shisha from MN Hookah. Tried to place an order about a week ago, but the USPS put the kibosh on those plans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 haha! Well the order I placed on Monday landed last night and cleared customs. Most likely delivered Tuesday (Bank holiday monday here)And I placed another one last night.Business as usual JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered from MNHookah, it normlly runs pretty smoothly. I did, however, check the tracking number today and its been on "International Dispatch" for about 2 days now, which means you're probably right and it's stuck at Customs.I'll keep you posted!

Mahir Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 International Dispatch means that it hasnt gotten to customs yet....usually it says international dispatch....arrived abroad......Into foreign customs...Out of foreign customs.....delivered abroad-NH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an order that big goes through, without being dinged for customs, I might not be so conservative with my future orders. Can't ever see myself ordering 6lbs all in one shot though. It would last so long I suspect it would become stale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for an aircraft.Customs has got very little todo with it State-side.It's when it LANDS the problems can arise. To reliterate :- International Dispatch means waiting for a plane.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
