indian_villager Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 USPS reached a new level of stupid today. They have no idea of the weight of the boxes. So I called up a post office and asked the weight of the box and apparently the box that I want to use is not kept at post offices. So then I just ask them to weigh a box they have and give the dimensions. I used a ratio of surface area and mass to calculate the apprx mass of the box I plan on using and it came up to like 3.4OZ and I want to say (+/-) 1Oz. And the phunnels weigh. 8.5 (+/-)1OZ SO we may be able to pull this off inexpensively. Now for precision I ask that you wait for quotes as I am waiting for the weight of a damn box!

Giant Ninja Robot Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 physics have been involved? AMAZING!We were supposed to have a deadline of next Saturday anyway, lets all remember, so anytime before that is ahead of schedule! Yay!And I agree USPS is stupid indeed. Because they don't have scales everywhere in the damn post office, inCLUDING where you have your packages WEIGHED to ship in the FIRST PLACE!?!?!?! Aparently so.

newjacksm Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Lol thats really funny, they couldnt just weigh the box in the store? I wonder if the calculator includes the handling too (box weight and all) when you include that in the calculator?I am real excited sorry for not posting been away all weekend.

smokeytheclown Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I think performing actual work in a government post office requires forming a commitee to study the environmental impact of the packaging, and assessing the losses in agricultural productivity resulting from the increased landfill requirements, then setting up the program to monitor the cost effectiveness of maintaining the package weight in question (including the enclosed bowl) while still providing award winning service to America's customerszzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZ.......

So the box weight matters and I have confirmed it with a rep but they still can't tell me the damn weight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Morgan Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Any chance of these actually going into normal production or is this strictly a limited run? I'd love to get a hold of one but I don't have paypal and cash is kinda tight for me at the moment anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigor Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 So this will kind of sound like a tease, but I'm just telling everyone straight up. I spoke with Eric briefly about the mini phunnels when I was at his hookah lounge Friday night. Based upon that conversation, I'd say it's pretty unlikely that you'll ever see these go into regular production, for a few reasons. I won't go into those reasons here, because they really should come from Eric directly - I don't want to speak on his behalf. This is never to say perhaps another special order of them would be considered. But, unfortunately, I really wouldn't get your hopes up about being able to purchase these any time.

The shipping shouldnt be very much if it's under a lb., which is possible, shipping will be 4.80, and if slightly heavier it shouldn't be too much more, we shall see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Unfortunately neu they are all accounted for as we are having a small run custom made for us by Tangiers. Perhaps there will be another run sometime? Sorry dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smalls are good enough, you can just recycle whatever shisha is unburned in the bowl. That's what I do. Include it in your next order, you'll be glad you did.
