cypherkk Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Alright I decide to get some more stuff from HC cause I'm getting tired of paying 11 dollars for 1oo g of starbuzz locally. Besides they lack many decent flavors.I decided to give tangiers a try again, as last time I liked it but the flavor was lost within about a week of putting it into gladlock storage containers. Are there any suggestions on the best way to store the stuff.I also got some of my fav. fusion flavors, but was not able to get cactus pear as they only have 50 g and thats just not worth the effort. In addition I decided rather than just buy a new hookah I would replace my stem on my mya which has worked as a wonderful smoking hookah since I got it 4-5 years ago. I think theres just too much build up in the thin stem part and can't get in there to clean it. Then i got some bowls and hoses to play with so I get fresh new flavors.In addition I want to try to get a Al Fahkner hookah, I think they look good and not bad price. Can any one tell me how well this one smokes, I looked up in the reviews and it seemed ok.Hookah company doesn't have it so I'll have to order somewhere else.But here is the order for your perusal. #1 21" Modern MYA Hookah Stem [#RS2244][Stem Model:: 1 Hose, SKU: RS2244_1H, $46.95][Tray Option:: Without Tray, SKU: RS2244_NTRAY]Quantity 1 x $46.95 = $46.95#2 74" Inlayed Mosaic Hookah Hose [#Ho652][Choose Model:: Ho001, SKU: Ho652_001]Quantity 1 x $24.95 = $24.95#3 Boysenberry Fusion Tobacco [#FuT70][Select Size:: 250 Gram Box, SKU: FuT70_250, $17.95]Quantity 1 x $17.95 = $17.95#4 Vanilla Fusion Tobacco [#FuT47][Select Size:: 250 Gram Box, SKU: FuT47_250, $17.95]Quantity 1 x $17.95 = $17.95#5 Red Rhino Fusion Tobacco [#FuT82][Select Size:: 250 Gram Box, SKU: FuT82_250, $17.95]Quantity 1 x $17.95 = $17.95#6 Rose Fusion Tobacco [#FuT65][Select Size:: 250 Gram Box, SKU: FuT65_250, $17.95]Quantity 1 x $17.95 = $17.95#7 Papaya Raspberry Fusion Tobacco [#FuT30][Select Size:: 250 Gram Box, SKU: FuT30_250, $17.95]Quantity 1 x $17.95 = $17.95#8 Tangiers Lucid Line Tobacco (250 Grams) [#Ta04][Choose Flavor:: Bramble Berry, SKU: TA04_82_BRAM]Quantity 1 x $16.95 = $16.95#9 Tangiers Tobacco (250 Grams) [#Ta01][Choose Flavor:: Mint, SKU: Ta01_24_MINT]Quantity 1 x $14.95 = $14.95#10 Tangiers Tobacco (250 Grams) [#Ta01][Choose Flavor:: Orange Soda, SKU: TA01_10_ORANGESODA]Quantity 1 x $14.95 = $14.95#11 Tangiers Lucid Line Tobacco (250 Grams) [#Ta04][Choose Flavor:: Cocoa, SKU: TA04_27_COCOA]Quantity 1 x $16.95 = $16.95#12 Tangiers Small Funnel Bowl [#He2070][Choose Color:: Blue/Black, SKU: He2070_BLUBLK]Quantity 1 x $13.95 = $13.95#13 Modern Ceramic Hookah Head [#He1639][Choose Color:: Black, SKU: He1639_BLCK]Quantity 1 x $6.95 = $6.95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwood Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Just a note:My first order from HC they shipped with Signature Confirmation -- as a result I never got it. You can't redirect the package to a work address once they ship it through FedEx. Just know that wherever you have it shipped to, you will need to be there (and be over 21) to collect it.

If you're not going to be in your house at the time it's going to arrive, you can have FedEx drop the package off at your local FedEx/Kinko's location. Then you can just pick it up when you're home from work. Disclaimer! I've never done this but I have read about it on FedEx's website, apparently all you have to do is call them to have it dropped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherkk Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 I've had issues from the past with hookah company and the signatures. Eventually I got them to drop the Sig. Req. on it. But ofter it is a pain in the ass. However I work night so I will be able to be home for the delivery now a days.I don't know about this hookah john company who are they are they the guy that used to be in Vegas and had problems or what? Do they have a forum discount. Or do you have to go to hookahpro.com which I dont' know if its running anymore.Thats why i deal with hookah company mostly. To be honest its just way more consistent. Even if it is annoying to jump through hoops its better to know what you have to do then end up missing the shipment completely. Is there a better place to get that hookah, its slightly less expensive on the al fakhner online place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 in my many experiences they don't ask you for your age. They just make you sign a electronic tracker device thingy.I have never been asked for an id by fedex, usps, ups, but then again i look like im 30 with my shirt off, and i never have a shirt on when at my house.

Hairy arab ftw!It depends on whether or not they have the caveat "direct signature required". If so, you will have to show identification but the age won't matter, they just want to verify it goes to the person on the package. It's not that big a deal to ask them to drop the signature required thing - just type that in the "added information" box when you place the order on line. I do it all the time, takes about 20 seconds tops. Not a big deal.'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did check my ID, and my age, but I'm plenty old enough...If they'll drop direct signature, they're back on the top of my list.I'd never had a problem of this nature with any shipper before, to the point of purchasing wine online when I was underage, but HC appears to be a stickler. No matter -- get the to drop direct signature, and you're golden.Thanks for the tip, Rani! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherkk Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 they 'll drop the sig. required. They prefer if they have delivered to you before and you have to call and specifically tell them to drop the signature.\simply saying in the comments to not require a signature does not work you have to call. Preferably if you can I know its pretty difficult anymore you have to talk to George. His peons tend to lack any ability to act out of the standard operating procedures. But I guess that would make them good employees.on a side note where is hookahjohn located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathrynx Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Good luck with getting it, but like others were saying just call and tell them just to drop it off instead of the signature thing. Or if they don't drop it off, go to their office the next day with the paper slip they put on your door and pick up the package then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherkk Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 problems have been encountered. I ordered last thursday and they still haven't shipped it. I've tried to support hookah company for a long time but it seems they are getting worse and worse. I asked as a good customer they update it to 2day since it took so long for them to bother shipping it. I understand the close for memorial day weekend but seriously, they didn't ship it friday or today and may not even ship tomorrow. Now they say 5 business days.They said they had computer problems so it would make sense to upgrade me. But they said NO.Thats not the kind of service I want from a place I choose to use, so I'll have to find a new one. I want to try hookahjohn but the flavors are limited. especially on the fusion. I guess I may have to get from multiple reputable company's like MN and HJ. Sonhert? sp. Can I buy directly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
