jamesh2 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 because i started to make an order then stopped. they asked if everything was ok, i told them i was just price shopping and trying to get a glance at the price with shipping and i would be spending money on friday. Wasnt a typical sales call, nice guy. said to go to the live help and they would find me the best possible discount code. it was less sales, more customer service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victim026 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 They did the same thing with me today, although I didn't answer the phone so they said they were just checking up on me making sure everything was ok and wanted to make sure I wasn't having problems with there system.

Calcartman Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I guess thats both a good and bad thing. There should be an option when you sign up to allow them to call or not.Not neccesarily a bad thing, but a little overly aggressive. I wouldn't mind it though, especially if they're trying to give you a better discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 so you are willing to give up all privacy to save a few bucks, no thanks. Ever wonder what other information they are gathering? Hello big brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkenWizard Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I would've had phone sex with them. J/K, maybe they are having problems with their system and are afraid to lose business over it. Hookah Kings called me one time, but I think it was because of a problem with my order, can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeMojo Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Southsmoke did this to me as well only they contacted me by email and offered me an additional 5% discount on top of the one I already had! I was just checking prices, shipping costs etc... and I ended up leaving the website, only to find an e-mail waiting from them in my inbox.. I feel it is a bit over the top, but I can't complain about the ADDITIONAL discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I used to hear what a great guy Sammy Romman was from different people (an owner of Hookah-Shisha). When I met him in person, I was genuinely impressed...and that never happens, trust me. He is an honest, ethical forthright man. Call and talk to him about your concerns. He may not realize how people feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillZedKill Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 The guys at H-s are great! Probably just trying to be even more helpful. The phonecall is a bit odd, but hey, what if someone did need help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesh2 Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 if they were calling every night it would be different, or even if he was pressuring me to buy something then. but he just asked if all was well and offered (possibly more or one than what they offer the forum) a nice discount.

hookah hippie Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I think perhaps instead of a phone call they should e-mail but I don't want to get a phone call when I check prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewagewasd Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Well I've placed an order a few days ago and mailed them when it'll be shipped approximately, but I haven't received an answer, yet.Does anybody know how long it takes them to send the stuff normally?

fewagewasd Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Since I'm european i'd like not having to pay the 5 euros/minute for calling the USA with my cellphone *gg*. I'll just wait if they answer to my mail or send another one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is definitely invasion of privacy. I told them never call me again like that unless they do not want my business. They are definitely going to far by watching my every move. I was shocked to see that someone would do that. THIS BETTER STOP or they will get in trouble for privacy invasion. Usually a good company, but dang I was pissed and it is good to know that someone else agrees that this is horrible.CALL ME AGAIN AND I WILL NEVER USE YOU AGAIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
