Anyone in the UK interested in Group Buys of Ma'assell, Accessories, etc? If we can get about 5 people interested, we can do a regular order and split the shipping between us. This would be great for ordering small amounts of ma'assell.Here's a quick calculation:5 people order 2 tubs of 250g Ma'assell at $10 eachShipping around $60 (approx)Total: $160Approx Cost Per Tub Per Person: £8.88 (pounds sterling)I've made a few assumptions in the calculations, but you can see that getting good quality Ma'assell for under £10 is a pretty good deal!

UK Customs duties for importing Tobacco are extortionate. It's done on the weight of the tobacco, and is actually designed for cigarette tobacco. Imagine 1kg of cigarette tobacco, and 1kg of Molasses - they carry the same duty. Most of the molassess in the UK hasn't had any duty paid on it, hence it's not available 'officially'. Thats why we have to resort to these local shops that might carry a brand or two - in my experience most of it is flavourless as it's probably near the end of it's shelf life.[b]Rip Off Britian[/b]We usually pay the same over here in pounds as you do in dollars, which is pretty unfortunate, so a 250g tub of Al-Amir for £8-£10 is very good value indeed

It all comes down to trust. I don't mind doing the ordering and accepting payments later, but if I get stuck with a whole load of gear I don't need, that would be the first and last time for me..Best thing would be to get payment in advance to whoevers doing the ordering, but as I said before - all comes down to trust. How many of you guys are based in London? If you're outside, you'll have to take into account shipping costs for your order (have a look on royal mail's site).I'm thinking of ordering a couple more boxes of Al-Almir, with maybe a hose and a cleaning kit. I'd definately recommend Al-Amir for those who haven't tried it.I'm also thinking of getting one of those Stargate Hookahs.

as i said - i'll pay upfront not after you have ordered because then i
know that atleast i have paid you so i aint no cheater or scammer
whatever.

WHAT SITE PEOPLE ??

looks like theres only really 3 of us that want to get things online so
ill have to go round asking some of my freinds if they would like
something aswell to spread the shipping cost.

$60 shipping is a bunch of balls !! I've ordered faily large quantities from hookahcompany.com and the max they charge is $30 AFAIK. And before ordering, email them asking to mark the shipment as a 'gift' with a very low value such as $20. This has worked 100%, and i recieved my stash within a week :).
Erm i dunno if i can really be arsed ordering at the moment ? I've got some niice havannah rose and al-fakher two apple that needs to be smoked, aswell as sh*t loads of nakhla chery and cola all purchased in the UK. And i have some al-qemah grape, al-waha strawberry/peach n orange from my last order from the USA. So good luck to you all, count me in nexttime ?!

well mabey he wants to make a little extra money for himself - i dont
really mind aslong as i aint shipping out thousands of pounds 
- thing is im kinda desperate becuase im sick off all the naklah ive
had and well im limited to other flavours, specialy because i aint
allowed to use my parents CC for internet use 
bloody accountant comes and checks everything to make sure its only for
BUISNESS PURPOSES ONLY  ( tax back buisness claims  makes enough money back for my dad to buy a new merc  YAY !! ) ...has it downsides to do with internet shopping tho.

WHAT FECKIN SITE PEOPLE ? ? ? ? ? ? ? (  ive asked enuff times !! )

rid the VAN OF FLEAS  why didnt you say so ?? loll

alrite guys lets get this sorted so far it looks like the people with
the uk who want to order a GROUP BUY so we spread the shipping cost is:


ME - donkeema
Ridwan - Thebastard ( great name suits you well )
Zap - ZAP
Umair - our local rich boy
and london shisha ????? who doesent seem to be replying very often now that we clocked on bout the $60 shipping loll NO OFFENCE ...

So lets establish were we want to get ALL OUR ACCESORIES AND THINGS FROM? instead of dragging this along for years and years.
shall we go for
www.hookah-shisha.com
www.hookahcompany.com
www.hookahETC....u no the drill  , theres TONS of sites selling stuff.
 i think we should go for hookah-shisha.com ?? any other
suggestions dont be afraid to speak up - i mite be 15 but it doesent
mean ill mug you on the streets !! OR WILL I ?? ...

NEXT : : : whos going to be doing the actual ordering
once we have established that we can ALL tell him/her the things we
want and well pay him/her. by either postal order / paypal / whatever
means of transaction

then we wait ...when it arrives we'll have to wait again for it to be sent out to us. this is ALL based on trust!!!

the best way of paying up is: pay half ? then wen it arrives pay the
other half so you have always got something to rely on instead of
nothing.

ANY SUGGESTIONS ?? ANY WEBSITES?? ANYTHING??

fahim - breppin east london , Keema Klan...

Glad to see so much response!$60 shipping is what I paid from socialsmoke.com - this was my first order so i'm judging all costs on that. $28 shipping sounds good - how long did it take to get here? My order took 2 working days!I'll be up for ordering a few more tubs of al-amir and some al-fakher. Whats the consensus on the best site to order from?

bnn if you wanan get real 1000-2000 gram tubs i guess, or southsmoke if
theyre still having that sale. bnn is 13 bucks for 250, 45 for 1000,
and 80 for 2000 (grams), southsmoke is running out of flavors, but so
far ive gotten all my al fakher from southsmoke and once from hookah
shisha- today was my first order from bnn soutsmoke has good service
for me thoguh.

I don't think they do UPS.  I have ordered 3 times in total. 
First 2 times from Socialsmoke and once by Hookahcompany.  The
second time I got hit by customs.

They were all shipped by USPS and get a tracking number.
