Stuie Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Just ordered. Can't wait to try out the bowl and screen. So yall are in Arlington, do you have a store front? I am in the Metroplex all the time. Might stop buy and pick some stuff up if you do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 was going to order but shipping is 10 bucks, i can get bowls and shipped cheaper then that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) n/m I'm an idiot.+1 to expensive shipping charge for this Edited March 11, 2008 by Jeff_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I've always wanted a SS Hemi so I don't mind paying that shipping charge. Basically I'm getting the bowl and charcoal screen with free shipping! The charcoal screen looks high quality and is even advertised as stainless steel. So I find this a steal SS, you will soon see an honest and extensive review from me once I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamscott06 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 That extra 15% off pretty much just canceled out the shipping. I ordered some SB Blue Mist and Layalina Peach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voski Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 QUOTE (Canon @ Mar 11 2008, 03:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>was going to order but shipping is 10 bucks, i can get bowls and shipped cheaper then that.Agreed 100% I would have been the first to order but I have a hard time paying 10 bucks when I shipped a 7 pound box to NY for 7 bucks today.Since when is tax charged for out of state purchases? Especially free ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoolinspoon Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I have a couple Hemi bowls and they work pretty nice. I don't really see how you could improve it. The hemi is one of my goto bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anathema Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 haha i was like this is a good deal, then it's 10 dollars to ship a clay bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Shipping is high, not sure why it costs that much either, but with a free bowl, free screen, and 15% off other stuff... I took advantage of it with some hose plugs. Since shipping is the same for me, I wonder if it's just a standard rate no matter what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social Smoke Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hey guys,Overall, our website is set up to calculate shipping costs pretty accurately. Shipping is definitely not intended to be a profit center. Please keep in mind, beside the UPS shipping cost, there are other charges that are not immediately apparent.1. 6% fuel surcharge2. Residential delivery Surcharge of $1.503. Box & Tape - .30 estimate4. Labor to pull the order, box it, label it - .80 estimate ( conservatively estimated at $10.00/hr labor and 5 minutes to complete )I tried estimating a 1 lb box from Dallas to Tampa Florida and I got a price quote of $7.00 from UPS including surcharge and Residential Delivery Surcharge. Adding another $1.10 for labor and supplies brought the total to $8.10. neu318 had mentioned that he was quoted something in the $8 range.Anyways, we're just trying to get some feedback on our bowls and charcoal screen and not trying to make money on this. We'll go back and discount the ground shipping 50% for anyone that orders the bowl and screen only this includes already placed orders.TAXES: Although we are based in TX, we are a licensed tobacco distributor in many states. Some states including California and Colorado require us to collect and report sales tax for orders from those states.Regards,AbrahimSocial Smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachslusser Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Well I just ordered the Bowl and Screen. I will post a review when i receive it. So since i just now orded it will i receive 50% off of my shipping then is that what i am to be understanding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Stuart Mill Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) Will we receive an email confirming the shipping was reduced?On another note, this offer now stands at around 5 dollars shipped for over 10 dollars of goods. I think anyone who complains now requires a psychological examination. Thanks to MN and Social Smoke for the great promotions.

MechAnt Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Half shipping cost refunded? That's great news for me! I didn't even complain when it was $10. Sweet. SS has given more incentive to review this bowl well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abeezstg Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I ordered mine earlier, when will we be able to see the reduction on the shipping? Will it just be credited back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voski Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 hmm this is better. I'll order when I get home.Just put in the order. Still says 10 bucks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Social Smoke Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 The shipping will be reduced after the order is placed but before payment is processed. The website can't handle two discount codes for the same order.Thanks,AbrahimSocial Smoke, Inc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
