JDHarding Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I recently bought some of John's coals, and paid the $10 shipping, and he e-mailed me up like.. "You're paying way too much for shipping! Do you need anything else?" But I didn't need anything else. Then I got to thinking. What if the coal box was shaped to fit a flat-rate box? That way we could buy a box of coals and only pay half the price for shipping. The way the coals are currently packed requires a tall box, but if laid down flat on top of each other, the box would be wider, but would be able to fit a flat-rate box. Any opinions on this?I probably shoulda bought some more shisha with my order, but I felt I'd run out of coals by the end of the week. I already have 3 orders of shisha coming.

NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 well i dont think hes gona change the size of the box the coals come in, but he may be talked into taking his coals out and putting them in a bag and tying it up and then folding his charcoal box down to fit it all in the thiner box, then when you get it put the coal box back together and put the coals in the box from the bag..

Easier to get them out of that than the box. Maybe for future orders I could get him to throw them in a ziplock bag. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no longer welcome Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 the small flat rate box is where you can save shipping, it will hold only a box of nak or a 3 pack of tangiers, $5 or so shipping, as for the coals, not likely, you will have to step up to medium which is the same as fedex.
