chinamon Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 so it was my second time ordering from smoking-hookah.comthe first time my package was checked by customs as well but they didnt charge me anything.today they charged me $29.15 for 1.5kg of nakhla. i am pretty sure the reason customs always opens their package is because there is no declaration form attached to the box.oh well.. $30 is not a lot of money so i paid it but probably wont be ordering from there again.

chinamon Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 so i just emptied 3x50g of nakhla double apple in to a lock&lock container to let it acclimate a bit...the stuff i got is the local egyptian stuff so its not the "export quality" but it is VERY wet compared to other OG nakhla ive had.maybe they increased the sticky stuff in all their recipes worldwide....

Scoop Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 the reason they checked is probably because the exporter has the word "HOOKAH" in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mix_tape Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Thats not to bad. Its hard to know what vendors are good with getting stuff in, you win some. You lose some.I'm sorta close to Montana but I don't know of any stores up there that are good. I'd do a weekend trip to stock up then risk customs haha.
