L'Oignon Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Summer has brought with it a desire to crack my hookah out again. I had a cheap mitsuba hookah that I had left idle for the last 8 months, and when I went to clean it out there seems to be a pile of oxidization (possibly rust) clogging up the stem so naturally I dont want to use it anymore.I've been looking around and I've decided to get a Mya QT. I live in Canada though which makes everything hookah related 2x as much to buy. It seems that ebay is fresh out of them, so I looked around to mnhookah, hookah-shisha, and southsmoke, but anywhere I try to by it from has about $30 in shipping which after tax and converting the dollar, is about $100 which is a lot of scratch.Does anyone know where I might be able to get one with better shipping rates? I'm also close to Hamilton and Toronto if anyone knows if I can pick one up in those areas. Suppose if there's no way around it I'll probably bust down at pay the $100 but I'm just trying to see if theres any other options at the moment.

chinamon Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 if you are ordering online then all shipping rates will be about the same.a couple years ago i was at Nasr Foods (lawrence & warden) in scarborough and i saw a QT for $50. not sure if they still sell them though. its all crappy chinese (non-Mya Saray) stuff now here in the GTA. your best bet is to just order a QT from a u.s. vendor and add in some tobacco to help with the shipping costs. mnhookah is good.. hookahjohn is good (except he adds a $10 fee for international orders)... nazarhookah is good. those are the vendors that i've dealt with and never had to pay duties at the border.

L'Oignon Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 ya, I've seen the mya-esque hookahs about but on closer inspection they were all cheap chinese rip-offs as well.I was thinking about those places that throw the free shisha in, but the only problem I see with that is that I think customs would be more likely to check the parcel if there was a hookah inside, and then i'd get hit with tobacco duties on top of that.Guess I'm just going to have to order online then....Thanks though!
