By all means am I one to accept responsibility, but I am not responsible for this.What is so ridiculous about this was it was a COMPLETELY unwarranted attack that came out of absolutely nowhere!!! I am NOT one to exaggerate, this was completely uncalled for.He has since apologized so I'm not gonna keep badmouthing him but I am not going to sit here and be blamed for his unprovoked attack.I admit it does look sketchy and like Id be the one to blame, but it WAS unprovoked and thats whats so mind blowing about the whole damn situation.sure youre not responsible for what was coming to neal, he brought it on himself. i had almost the same experiance with him. when i complained abouth the mashal i ordered was incomplete,missing the tray,very badly scratched hose , holly asked my phone number so neal would call,i said its ok i,ll call and did not give her my number. a bit later he calls cursing and shouting and saying,what you expect its a piece of egyptian sh.. cursing on and on the guys an idiot and a goon .good ridance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjelder Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 lol, I guess I'll explain it again. I'm not justifying what they've done. Its unforgivable in my book. What I am doing, however, is acknowledging their effort to complete my order. Since I have shared almost everything about my order, I'm not going to hide the fact that they at least attempted to make my order correct. This may shed some hope on those who have gone a month without their order being shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathan_Choi Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Wow, forum drama. Im glad the one order I did with him went pretty smoothly, but then again I think it was just some coals and tobacco. For the record, who exactly is Holly and who is she in relation to Neal? His wife? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_salaam Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 This doesn't seem great...I placed a large order with them back in April, which arrived but with many mistakes including missing, broken and faulty stock...I've been trying to get them to send replacements for 1.5 months now, I keep phoning them (speaking to both Neal and Holly), I keep emailing, but they very rarely reply, and on the rare occasions that they do, they say "sure I'll send it out to you soon" (to be fair they've always been polite to me) but at the end of the day they never do what they say and just send me my order so Im not too happyShould I give up on it? The order was worth a lot, over $200, and I probably only received around $100 of correct product...do I have any hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNH Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 wow... I am not surprised at all.. Neal has always bad mouthed us to customers, they would tell me.

Is there any way we can work out a better shipping price than 31 bucks for a few coals and shisha?! If so, I will order from you guys only because you have great prices and would be technically the closest to me, compared to HC and HS, and I KNOW you guys have great CS. PM me if you need more detailsLemme know, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 At times I have not experienced the best service from him but I have come to a conclusion that that's Neal. I am a Las Vegas resident and although the shop is 20 miles away they have the best prices around so I order from them.In the past 4 months I have prolly spent about $1,000 at the shop and based on that I would classify myself as a "good customer". You would think that his "website" price would extend to me as I am a good customer and although he does not ship to locals anyway it would be a savings.Sometimes I get the website price while other times I get his higher shop price, Back the beginning of February when I first came in there he got pissed cause I mentioned I found the site on Hookahforum and that I wanted the website prices.On another point whenever I am in the lounge or store he lets me for the most part smoke as many bowls as I want for free.I also understand what Minnesota Hookah states about threatening, I mentioned something about wanting to get into the hookah business (I got 109 flavors and 12 hookahs so I am pretty knowledgable) and he stated that he would report me and that "he didn't need anymore fly by night competition in Las Vegas"Neal needs to sit back and step into the customers shoes and see if he would want to be treated the way he treats them? I bet he wouldn't.....I feel he needs to run his business more professionally and treat his customers and employees better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you were calling me out for something that actually proved my point rather than showed I was libleing Neal? Any comments onyour accusation aimed at ME? Or are you going to pretend you didn't post any of that? *I* don'tt take well to being called a liar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornkitten42 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Mush is right. I think he has everything in holly's name because they wouldn't give him the permits and stuff he needed. I'm sure he is "trying" to fly under the radar and now i'm wondering what his capias was for when he got hit with it, and if there are others. I also agree this isn't his first blow up and unfortunataly "apologies" don't heal all wounds. People should think before they start spouting off about the reprocussions it might have, weither it in person, on the phone or the internet.
