DrShisha Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hi there folks. Just checked out the alfakheronline.com website and the cheapest a 250g box is going to cost including shipping works out £7.40 each. Anybody found the new products anywhere else, where we could get it cheaper? Im a bum in egypt it was £7.00 for 500g but i found it too expensive as i was there for 2 weeks i had already felt the currency. My bad. Hope the british folk can chime in with any ideas! Any opinions welcome really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Hi Doc,Its pretty desperate in the UK, Ive been trawling sites for days on end looking for quality shisha atan affordable price.Its a pitiful state, all UK web sites have very poor selections of tobacco at rip off prices.(as Im sure you're aware of)Most of the sites never seem to restock either, so you look through the same old crap everyday and either you buy whats left (what other people dont want) or pay through the nose for Al Fakher, which is what I do.At least I know I'll get a good smoke even if I have to sell a kidney to afford it.I have yet to order from the USA and worry that I will get stung by customs, its putting me off even more.Its very frustrating.

You just have to choose your vendor carefully.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Cheers Johnny.Who would you recommend? Ill get reading some vendor reviews in the meantime.If I made an order I would order a good few kg's, but would it be safe to order say more than 2?I dont give a hoot about shipping costs just the damned customs.Thanks mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not order more than 750g's.I never have. The bigger the item the more likely customs are to take a peek.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooky1742 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 YESSS!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE START SUPPLYING THE UK!!!I do care about shipping costs, and it only becomes viable to buy from USA if i order a ridiculous amount, to split the shipping down over loads of pots. But then customs are likely to completely screw me, which is another problemSomebody please start supplying UK at a reasonable rate. Please! I for one would defintely buy, and buy plenty.Hooky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pritty much pans out no more expensive.ALSO consider you CANNOT obtain certain tobacco's and accessories in the uk. It's not as bad as you make out.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
