Johnny_D Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Just messing around this morning looking at some different sites.I noticed that there is a huge difference in the price being charged between vendors.I compared 4 websites (as best i could) and there is a hell of a difference.In some cases for EMS (3-5 days) There was a $22 dollar difference for the same products!It might pay us UK guys to really shop around as the savings are potentially huge.

oggie505#2 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) please 22 USD is nothing for you UK guys, thats like what 2 pints at a pub or 11 liters of petrol. First tell your queen to bring this inflation down, then 22 bucks will be worth it Edited July 14, 2007 by oggie505#2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First tell your queen to bring this inflation down, then 22 bucks will be worth itListen Mr 'I get all my mail through that American forces wossname thing' Your right. £11 ain't much. But given i've ordered some 16-18 times from one vendorthen the potential is a bit more than 2 pints and a packet of fags!JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomhauer Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 money is a huge thing, think about it is johnny saves 22 dollars in shipping that is that much more in shisha in the future. if you paid 22 extra every time you did those orders think about it you could have almost 400 dollars more in your pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do occasionally mess up their orders, but they fix them, few questions asked.They also have a bit of a reputation for taking bloody ages to ship international orders. They once took 5 weeks to ship mine!If it's not shipped by Friday then I would get on the phone.mnhookahs normally ship within 48 hrs.JDedit :- ship=to actually put it into the postal system. Your then looking at another 10 days or so to actually arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAP Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 3-5 days USPS shipping is only marginally more expensive than the 10 day but none of the vendors offer it. Hookahcompany used to on special request but now they don't, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hookahcompany used to on special request but now they don't, unfortunately.mnhookahs offers it. And it is quite a bit more expensive.And to be honest both seem to get here in around 10 days. Best I have ever had was 7 days.The problem appears to be at Chicago O'Hare where the packages can take anything up to a week to board a flight.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
