Canadian/quebec People, Order Where?


Recommended Posts

Yeah.
Where are guys ordering shisha or accesories?

Every where i try it's like 30 @ 50 of shipping ... that's for a medium order.
And for like 2 50g it's about 15$ ! that's more than the tobacco lol !

SO, where !?
Thanks !

For a big order, ie. large hookah + 1kg tobacco etc.. expect high 30s
for smaller order, expect 15-20, ie 1-2kg tobacco

the cost is that, everywhere it seems. the real problem isnt the cost of shipping, is customs, because i've been hit multiple times with duties on the tobacco, once 700$ ! (i had them return to sender of course)

places i've ordered from are hookah-shisha.com, mnhookah.com, gothookahs.com
i would recommend mnh . HS i've been a long time customer, but now, they always mark on the outside exactly how much tobacco your ordering, so you will ALWAYS get hit with customs (which is about 50$/250g)
i'm not saying companies should lie, but they should try accomodate customers. Mark "Ma'sel" or "molasses" if you need to mark something, and use the owner's name instead of company name. less suspicious.

anyway, in montreal, there are places to find nakhla for $15-20 and AF for 25-30$ so its better than nothing!
Good Luck!

I'm in Nova Scotia.... I use Hookah-shisha.com. I ordered two hookahs (31 inch and 23 inch) coals, 100g shisha, carrying case, and misc accessories and shipping was only $36.50 shipped USPS/Canada Post. You can also enter the cupon "Hookah Forum" and get 15% off. They are a great company and I strongly recommend them. But what ever you do, make sure you ship USPS/Canada Post so you aren't charged an outrageous customs and duties!

IMO, even with the USPS option (which i always select), they write on the customs declaration form TOBACCO 850g (example) , so you will tend to ALWAYS get charged customs and duties. they used to not write that.
I would avoid them now for that exact reason. A box coming from H-s will have HOOKAH SHISHA written on the box, and tobacco written on the declaration form.

MNH will send you a box without their company name on it, and will not put tobacco on the form.

your choice!
