PersianPride Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 So what's the situation with this site? I read in the review section people being billed to 'al faker' and other assorted reports that it might be an 'al fakher' knock off.Hope it ain't so because that would make me a sad panda.

anathema Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 haha that's just from me. the shisha is wrapped in the right tub and an aluminum bag just the inside of the box says al fakhir and i was billed by al faker which was awkward but it's probably just a typo.

PersianPride Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Can't see any 'al fakhir' though the packaging looks fairly legit. Spotting a fake golden series one is a lot easier. The real one should come in a little hard plastic chest that the fake ones tend not to replicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anathema Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 (edited) you gotta enlarge the images...edit: just called them, dunno who picked up but the guy said a third-party prints the inside of the box and it is just a typo which I thought it was, and it is. nothing to be worried about.

Ocrap Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 (edited) Is that really Al Fakhir??? I just looked at all of my Al Fahker boxes and it says Al Fakhir on the inside of the box aswell. Does this mean that all of my Al Fakher's are a fake? It can't be. I've ordered from hookah-shisha.com, theHookah.com, and the newly Alfakheronline.com. They can't all be fakes, can they?What exactly constitutes a fake Al Fakher? Please, now I need to know. If all of my Al Fakher's are a fake, I will go nuts.Oh...I just misread the thread. thank god. So it's really just a typo? I was seriously worried there. If Al Fakher is reading this, when are the typo's gonna be fixed?

AlFakherOnline Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 The typo's have been fixed, and you will see the corrected version in the newly improved packaging which will be available very shortly (ETA: a few weeks).Thank you, www.AlFakherOnline.comQUOTE (Ocrap @ Jun 18 2007, 12:05 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Is that really Al Fakhir???

Hannibal Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 .........soooo do these people with the typo boxes still get the 10 free tubs.......because if so then deeeeeeeaaaaaaaaam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocrap Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I highly doubt we're gonna get free tubs because it's still genuine Al Fakher. BTW, the new Alfakheronline.com is the best online dealer for Al Fakher in my opinion. The packages were pretty fresh, although not as fresh as I expected. The production dates for my order were: Melon 250g Sep 2006, Cappuccino 50g Jan 2007, Apple 50g July 2006, Orange 50g Oct 2006, and I couldn't believe my eyes; the cherry 50g was MAY 2007! The other good thing is that it's delivered via USPS, so it doesn't sit in a hot UPS truck all day. It was so fresh. I wish that all of them were this fresh. It even had a new packaging. I have a question for Al Fakher: Why can't all of the products be as fresh as the cherry 50g that I received? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrShisha Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Those photos for the al fakher mint are legit but its the old packaging. The new packaging is hot. Im sure theyl have all the new flavours soon too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what they posted in the vendor review section. sounded like they are going to honor what's printed on their boxes. I agree that they are the best online dealer for AF, hands down, even without the ten free tubs. Wish I read arabic! If there is no expiration date on the offer, seems like they are very likely to make good on it. If they were just another internet or bricks and mortar retailer, I'd say not likely, but now that the maker is dealing directly with the public, their actions directly affect their reputation. I'm sure they will clarify the question before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
