John Deere Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I just found out that BNN Import/Export is not only the only distributer of Al Fakher in the US and Canada, but its located in Dearborn, !!!MI!!!. That means when I go down to visit my parents over by there, I can pick up some Al Fakher minus the shipping and the increased price. Plus they have all of the flavours and sizes all the time because, they are....well, the only distributer. Did anyone else know AF has a "bucket-o-ma'assel" ? Its huge. I dont think anyone actually cares about this but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 How many grams does the bucket-o-fun carry, and how much does it cost? Thats kinda exciting. You know, only hookah nerds like the people on these boards (me included) would be excited to live somewhat near a tobacco distributor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyteboy Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 anyone know if BNN has 50g packs back in yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Deere Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 The buckets are 2000 grams, and they range from $80-120 I believe. They should have the 50g's in because I asked If they were out of anything today, and I was told no, so unless whoever I spoke to was misinformed, you are in luck.

John Deere Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 Oh, and on I side note, speaking of Al Fakher, does anyone know exactly what it is that makes their ma'assel so freakishly bright red? I've been pondering this for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Deere Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 Yeah I think they are for like lounges and cafes and stuff that serve hookahs, or for people who chain smoke their hookah all day and need that much. What really kills me is that the thing actually has a handle on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kofod Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Nice thing John Deer. Could you ask them for a working email adress? For those of us that are not likely to have an errand around MI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypress Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 According to whyte he says that the guy said that they dont know when they are going to get 50 gr packs of esk apple. My opinion is that maybe their market isnt for the 50 grams. Maybe they dont sell it that often and what they do have might go bad. But unless we work there who knows.

John Deere Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 As a matter of fact the working e-mail address is : [url="http://mailto:bnnimportexport@hotmail.com"]bnnimportexport@hotmail.com[/url] I dont understand why they wouldnt just use the one in their domain, but whatever.

Kofod Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I dont call that many people in the states :-) same as I dont get to go errands around MI that much :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 oops! ya, i can see that.... what do you want to know from them exactly..i only have about 100 minutes a month i never use on my cell phone...prefer to use them than lose them... Seriously...what do you want to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kofod Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I know about the UAE branch - what I want is wholesale import - and the guy I wrote with (when it worked) was "better" than the UAE branch - I guess the US branch deals more with the "international stuff". So what i want to know is if the pricelist I recieved some time ago is still valid and if we could arrange a deal. I know - being "pro" and all I should call - but when you get no reply on the mail it would seem a bit like a waste. And deals like that is better done in writing. So thats why I hope for an email.

John Deere Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 When I called, The person who I spoke to didnt speak english that well, and I wanted to know if I could pick up orders from the warehouse, but it took a while for him to figure out what I meant. Someone could always call and ask for their current working e-mail address!!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kofod Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I would recon "the boss" would have been the one answering my mails - and if I call and its someone that can't arrange a deal - then I'm not any further if I call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
