acissej Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but...I just ordered a hookah for my boyfriend for Christmas (a single hose 30 inch Pharaoh, to be exact). I was wondering what kind of set-up Hookah-Shisha usually has for shipping. Should I just wrap the box as it comes in the mail, or would it be wise to open it (and possibly change boxes... or something along those lines)? Basically, is the way it is shipped optimal for giving it as a gift, or will I need to put it in another box?Weird question... but thanks to any who can answer.

Eifah Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I just bought a hookah from H-S. All of my goodies were in a big box full of packing peanuts – perfect for shipping, maybe less than ideal for giving a gift. If I were you, I wouldn't bother with repackaging it though. Wrap it with paper and throw a bow on it and when your boyfriend opens it and sees his hookah he won't even mind the peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 yeah its like Christmas when i get orders in of just shisha and stuff. take off the labels or something so he doesnt know where it came from and wrap that sucker up!P.S. if you two decide to call it quits gimmy a call. ha!

mushrat Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Is there an invoice in the box? you may want to slice it open long enough to get the invoice out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecoalition Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 i would be careful with hookah shisha's packaging only because (aside form price/invoice stuff) i got 3 tins of tonic and the juices leaked right out of the cans so i had to clean some things up before i could use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acissej Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 Thanks for all of the advice! And sorry I put it in the wrong thread... I was afraid of starting a new topic.Anywho, I will for sure grab the invoice and make sure nothing was damaged in shipping. I'm glad to hear that it won't be a hassel to wrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garykainz Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 i was extremely impressed with h-s's packaging when i got my hookah. when you think about it, if you're shipping glass and small, fragile metal parts (purge valve) good packaging is always a huge plus for me. also, i like throwing packing peanuts around like snow...
