All Brand Sampler Packs

[manic007]

I have NO idea how to package the shisha, so if anyone has experience in this matter - then speak up!

(incase no one answers. I would GUESS that maybe putting the shisha in a cheap ziplock bag, then taping it shut would make it unlikely to open up. But to make sure it doesn't burst open due to the rollers used at the sorting office, I'd put the bag inside a padded envelope. Again, I know jack about this subject.)

for shipping, use one of those double seal zip locks... they look like ===== you know, two separate lines to seal. Anyway, if you're using paypal, I'm out. I refuse to use that site again since I was scammed by one of those mimic sites. They refused to help or take responsibility...it was all bullshit, so they will never have my business again as long as I can help it.

just double bag it i think you should be good. you might want to mark it perishable as well

r1v3th3ad, in all honesty they warn you about that and frankly its your fault. paypal is about as secure as it gets as long as you as the user pay attention.

What it was was an opening page exact duplicate with the above mentioned change in addy...once you enter your info and hit login, it flashes a screen really quick, I saw that it was a page emailing my info to someone on yahoo, then the next page was something else that wasn't a paypal account page, mighta been the login page again, don't remember, it was 3 yrs ago. I understand it being my fault because I didn't catch the http:// instead of https://, but that comes with someone that is a new user to them, they should have gave me a warning or something...
but still, they were not willing to work with me or help, I had to go to the bank and cancel my card...

I don't mind doing money orders, I'd prefer to send a check, if thats cool with you...the bags sound good with envelopes, I was thinking doing it something like how Neal does FOTM's shipping.

Double Baggies in the envelope, FTW.

hmmm thats weird, was it just the normal paypal thing you tried to get to or paying for something online via a paypal thing. i would expect a simple pass word change would have stopped anything that could happen but then again it could have been to late.

Ok reading that again that makes little to no sense.
Basically what Im trying to say is that if people want to sample a flavor of any brand, we can have a sign up, I will buy the flavor and distribute it to everybody who wants it. Any brand, if theres enough interest.

otherwise im up for it

Goon, shipping cost for small items from the US will be rather cheap. I assume that chromecar will be using the US Postal Service. You can check out delivery cost from this site:

http://postcalc.usps.gov/

For example, large envelope weighing 7 ounces (200grams) will cost $6 via first class mail. I have Neal send me two funnel bowls via first class post and it arrived in 1.5 weeks. I think this would be a great thing to join into, especially for us Europeans who want to test some shisha before forking out a fortune to send a whole tub!

Chromecar, one thing. Just as an added precaution, could you please cellotape shut the opening of the zip lock bag. But overall I think ziplock (plus cellotape) in a padded envelope would be ideal

To cut down shipping costs I'd prefer if you sent me several shisha in one envelope. I hope that options available.

And rivithead. I too got screwed over by Paypal I brought some computer items from Ebay. They arrived VERY badly packaged, so bad that the didn't work. I naturally complained to Paypal and sent pictures of the damage and attempts to contact the seller. Ebay/Paypal sided with my complaint but would not refund my money! Cause the seller had shutdown their Paypal/Ebay account and done a runner! It wasn't a lot of money but I was REALLY pissed off! Its the principle. The worst thing is that I found the persons MySpace and LiveJournal account and they're living life as normal, and even passing themselves off to their friends as if they're a decent person! Its sickening! Well I soon sorted that out, and posted the whole afair on their webpage so everyone knows what sort of person they really are!

Well I've learnt that is something like this happens again, I'll simply ring up my credit card provider and ask them to chargeback. Then let Paypal deal with the consequences!

But anyway
