Tyler Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 So we all have our favorite vendors, and most of us share the same one. I'm just sad that all vendors don't carry all the things I want when I get my heart set on an order. I realize that not all brands or flavors sell very well and the point of a buisness is to make money, but its just kind of lame having to make two or three orders to get all the things I want. I'm just a bit sad that I have to pay double shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxT0 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Yeah it sucks...but look on the bright side, at least you're within the US and don't have to pay $30+ to have each package shipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rani Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Look at it this way...... By supporting more than one vendor you're ensuring we all continue to have great selections from various sources and you're contributing to several merchants having successful business that support thier families. That trumps an extra shipping charge any day of the week in my book.'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo_Master Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 This is why you only smoke tangiers, nakhla, and af Soft black and smoke KM or temsah or af hookahs and only use CH coals - so you only need to buy from HookahJohn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love all of the View-Askewniverse movies. From Clerks, Chasing Amy, and Mallrats, all the way down to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back... Just felt I had to say this.

Link Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I buy locally. But, I am a newb and you all seem seasoned vets. Is there a reason you buy online? The reason I buy locally is theres a shop nearby with almost every flavor and brand I've seen mentioned here, with a few exceptions. And no shipping.

And no shipping.i buy mostly online now because the effing state legislature decided 'hey, lets tax the fucking balls out of tobacco in texas'. i used to buy all my nakhla and al fakher locally at prices below what most vendors online offer. i'm talking nakhla for about $7 per 250g and al fakher for about $8.90, and the stores were only about 20 minutes or so away, very convenient. now with the new tax they passed, nakhla is $18.90 per 250g and Al Fakher is almost $23. there's no way i'm paying that kind of money. it does suck for the small businesses here, a few of them have told me their business in hookah tobacco has almost completely fallen off.

f22a4bandit Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Hmmm...to be honest, I haven't seen any tax hikes here in Tyler, which is weird.The woes of online ordering...there was one certain company that used to be awesome that fell off the map. It took them almost three weeks to ship my order of coals and shisha. Three weeks! Of course, had I done a bit of asking around, or their website had been updated, I wouldn't have had this problem.Other than that, I stick to HJ and HS exclusively.
