mushrat Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 sheeeit... You boys are being had.i have a mini in the shop still in the box, I'll get it weighed tomorrow and find out shipping. Shouldn't be more than 5 bucks ill wager. I suspect this is being handled like an ebay transaction, low price, make it up in shipping. I wouldn't pay more than 10 for the hookah ant 10 at most for shipping. Remember, the thing it comes in IS a cardboard box. It can be shipped in its original damn container. It's Acrylic so it won't break.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fed Ex Home Delivery would be about 9 bucks per package if you use the box itself as the container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I'm seeing, USPS is 13 bucks, FedEx is 9. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obey Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 really? cuz i have sent long poster tubes(24" long) that weighed around 2pounds, and with tracking and insurance for $500+ it always comes out to under $11 (that is shipping priority from new jersey to california). i mean there is a pound difference, but also the poster tubes are longer, insured, and sent priority across country.

It's Acrylic so it won't break....This "group buy" isn't really special because nobody's getting any sort of deal here.Not that I think the mini is bad - my friend got one and it smokes pretty nice.I'm just saying - this "group buy" to get a bulk discount is -- not a discount. I've seen tons of these things on ebay for right around the same price, which doesn't include getting a middle man to re-ship the product.There's a listing on there right now - $14.99 + shipping ($12 to my zip code) which barely makes your deal worth saving $2.
