arik Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I bought it from genuinehookahs.com while it was $4.99 per 250gr box it was my 3rd time that i placed an order from there. the first time i got a QT came fast, second time 10boxes of nakhla came fast again, 3rd time i waited a whole month.

Brownman18 Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Does he conceal that its shisha through customs? Or does it plainly say shisha and you didn't get busted?Im looking at their site and its 100x better then hookah-shisha for our geographic location.. I can do bulk orders without pesky tax duties..

arik Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 What he does is he marks it as a gift and he marks the value of the order like $15 so they wont even bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinamon Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 i ordered from alfakheronline and didnt get nabbed for tax/duties.i am waiting for my order from pimpyourhookah so i'll write a review once i receive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownman18 Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 i take it he does that normally as i dont see a comment portion anywere.. Man i hope my last 4 box order from hookah-shisha makes it through customs, ill probably order from this place on tuesday and i can do 12 boxes for the same price as me buying 6 from H-S to avoid duties.. i shot him an email if he does it automatically i'll be content and can start saving some money.

ASUSEAN1 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 my household smokes a lot.. prlly 3-4 kilos a month.. maybe more? probably more.. there is always a hookah going 24/7. yeaaah! i dont even wanna know how many times I went to the hookah bar over the summer too! but besides that, we try to get everything for free so it really isn;t an expensive habit for us.

girlgeek Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 To keep costs down I do stuff like wait for sales (then stock up) and make a certain friend of mine,umm lets call him SWG occasionally pick up a few 250g tubs, or some coals. Sis and bro-in-law usually bring over shisha/coals/food without being asked. I get discounts at stores by being highly recognizable and occasionally giving advice when the manager points at me and says,"Ask her about hookahs" Disclaimer: I am by no means an expert.

RichL Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I looked in the review section and only saw one review of Nakhla Tropicana, I was just wondering if any one had experience with it and if Tropicana is worth buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
