An1m Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) I've found this site before in the past then forgotten about it.I just don't get how some places have better retail prices for Al Fakher Tobacco than Al Fakher does.Hmm weird, in another part of the site they have the 3 pack special listed for 5 cents less than most retaielrs @_@ Edited March 5, 2009 by An1m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obey Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) it is like that with any type of product. go to like sony and look at tv prices, then go to best buy. retailers always have lower prices than the manufacturer Edited March 5, 2009 by obey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illmatic Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Probably because retailers have bought it in wholesale so they get it cheaper, then can sell it for a bit more but it's still cheaper than the manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinamon Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 alfakheronline is owned by the company that imports and distributes al fakher products in north america. their main focus is distribution, not sales to consumer. thats just my guess. if their prices were low then no retailers would want to carry their product because almost all consumers would rather buy direct. its better to have your product spread out everywhere.

inino Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 there are alot of companies that sell stuff more expensive then the retailers they send their products to. usually it isnt by much though. i would go to a site with a forum discount though.

K1024 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 thats because theres such a thing as suggested retail price. al fahker is going to turn a profit one way or another, whether they sell the shisha to you, or another website sells it to you. they probably prefer bulk bulk orders, so they keep there prices at suggested, where everyone else knocks it down a little to help it sell.

And I believe it was you buy 20 and get 25 freeYeah I was thinking of getting that deal before I ditched AF for good. Another site also had the same deal but I can't remember which one.What I wonder about if whether the stuff you get from afonline is guaranteed super fresh?
