TheAnt06 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 ...destroying the mail.My sample of Love Shisha showed up, in a sealed WE CARE USPS bag saying that they destroyed the package in transit. One end of the envelope is soaked in juices and the bag of shisha was open with not even enough tobacco to fill my small bowl. I've got pictures I'll get online later tonite to show you.

mj_b90 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Fuck USPS. I've had nothing but failure from them. It takes them two weeks to deliver a large envelope. I've had several things that were supposed to be delivered to me returned to the sender for no real reason. AND they keep raising prices, It'll be $3 to mail a letter locally soon enough.

mushrat Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 it MAY have been partially the fault of the sender...while i have no love of USPS, if the thing was leaking to begin with, which many samples do because people don't double bag them and seal them properly, then it can gum up machines and cause them to shred the package.The majority of samples I've ever traded have come in leaking to some degree.If it wasn't insured, you are SOL.

jester589 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Guess what? Same problem only they didn't even have the decency to put it in a bag. Chicken soup and pizzelle and not even close enough to make a bowl with them together...DAMMIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKammenzind Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Man, sorry to hear you guys are havin problems! We sealed all the samples well in mini-ziplocs, but it is quite possible that some came open during shipping. As for not having enough shisha... each sample was roughly 20 grams, though could be slightly less now than when we sent them if some of the juices leaked. We're poor college students, not a corporation, and can't really afford to send out a ton for free . I don't know how you guys could be packing that it isn't nearly enough to smoke, but I typically use 15-20 grams for an hour-hour and a half session and it suits me just fine. Again, they're samples... and free ones at that. Please get back to us after you smoke it, we're curious to see how the flavor is after shipping, hopefully it's as strong as when the shisha left but one never knows.

Ah well, next round of samples we'll probably ship 50 gram packages sealed more securely, and go with UPS. After my next paycheck we should have a little extra cash to make that possible. Hope at least some of the samples got to their destinations without being shredded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a little sweet now and then, which was hard to avoid seeing as you're effectively smoking chicken flavored honey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAnt06 Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 I just got finished attempting to smoke it. I had maybe about 8g's to work with, enough to cover the bottom of the bowl. I could barely get it to smoke 'cos of the way I had to put my coal on it. I don't think I'll be able to review it sufficiently, it had a nice taste for the little bit I could smoke it before it got really harsh. Thanks for sending it though. I fucking hate USPS.

Same thing happened with a package of gifts and souvenirs from China that my parents sent me while they were checking on the house in Texas. It was soaked all the way through by water, but they shipped it UPS. I've had USPS have a package scanned in at the distribution center here only to disappear in the building without a trace, and I've had Fed Ex. break crap before. I'm not a big fan of shipping anything important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassman65 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Same thing happened to me. The problem was that the bottom of the bag ripped/came unsealed (not the zip lock part) and some of the juices leaked out. It should be fine still I think, just not what LS intended.

jester589 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Just smoked the leftover Pizzelle also...Doesn't last so long due to not being able to properly fill the bowl, but I managed to get some nice clouds and taste out of it...This stuff would be amazing with a glass of Absinthe, would recommend it for all the over 21ers with money to burn on expensive liquors lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
