Do Shipping Prices Effect Your Ordering?


Recommended Posts

i order from MNHookah when it is a small order because you can leave a note for them to use a flat rate box and that way the shipping is usually ALOT less than any other vendor but since i live in so cal i can order from HC and pay $3 more and have it here the day after i order if it ships same day (and 99% of the time it does) so yes price effects if or who i order from BUT so does how long it takes to get the items to my doorstep

in general shipping kills me so i end up ordering more of what ever or getting stuff i dont really need, or wanted to buy yet.

just to show im getting like 1.55 kilos of shisha and 2 boxes of exoticas and a box of cocos when i order my set up in a few days just to have a good stock and save on shipping

The Forum discounts usually balance out and bring the shipping down to little or nothing, so I always use discounts and keep buying online. If I didn't buy online and use the discounts I'd be paying close to full price locally, so I feel like I'm still getting the better deal by staying with my online merchants.

no, not as long as its below $60. buying from the us saves a ton so i don`t mind if the shipping costs are a little more than usual.


Because of Tax? Although don't you have to pay tax when you ship tobacco into another Country?


no, i have had over 30 packages with hookah stuff shipped to me from all over the world and i`ve never had to pay any taxes. one time customs inspected a box but i still didn`t get taxed, they probably have no idea what it is.


LOL....nice. I don't think you could import stuff to the US without customs finding. Those guys have their noses up everyone's ass. Not that theres anything wrong with that.



if i can get 10 30rd mags for my ak through customs im sure you can get some tobacco through lol

and famous+shocker sticker=EPIC FAIL lol

Same here Rani. HC gets it to me in 3 days or less. Only reason I dont order from MN or Nazar or HS is because shipping takes longer. I want it here quickly and HC does that well enough for me.


HC is the bomb especially in California. I ordered Friday and four 250 gram boxes of Al Fakher (Vanilla, Grenadine, Cocktail and Bubble Gum - adding to my AF collection of flavors) will be delivered to my office around 3:00 p.m. Monday. Without my having to get in my car, etc. With the price of gas lately, you have to add in about $5.00 anyway if you pick up locally more than a mile or two away. Might as well have it delivered into my hands at a decent price.

The only time shipping costs will usually make me delete an order is when they are inflated, or shipped the worst possible way. I appreciate MN using USPS flat rate boxes, Then there is the benefit of Saturday delivery at no extra cost... something you don't get with UPS.

Flat rate USPS may be impractical for larger orders, but ideal for a few kilos os shisha and some coal.

Ok, so the other day, i bought from HC, one shallow bowl: 3.95, 2 50g Al Fakhers: 3.25 ea, and a Fusion, 3.49. Plus the discount from forum, those 4 things cost me 18.49.
I should have bought more stuff, after i bought i realized lol. $4.10 gas sucks too.
