Haz Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I was checking out the hookahjohn website and trying to figure out how much a kilo of starbuzz would cost to ship here and at the checkout it said that shipping was only $10. I reckon thats a mistake so I was wondering if anyone has ordered to to the UK from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Email John himself and he can give you a quote. The $10 is for US shipping only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrIsrael Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 After ordering John will email you with the price to UK, and if its ok to proceed. Its always around $30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 He might be able to do a flat rate box for $15 bucks. The bags would more than likely need to be removed from the tins though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 hookah-shisha charges $40 for shipping for a kilo so $15 would be amazing. I'd order something every fortnight. But I got a feeling it wont be that cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Email him and ask. I remember reading about it somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 They quoted me $26 per kilo. Which is alright but I'm a bit disappointed. My housemate and I had made list of 10 flavours to buy, stuff we'd never even heard of if the shipping had been $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cool Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I bought 3x250g of tobacco, an alien mini phunnel and a pair of jumbo tongs and got quoted 30 USD on top of the 10 USD that was on the shipping total, making it 40 USD shipping... this is with HJ to the UK Maybe the tongs, phunnel and the jar of the Nak DA i ordered made it so expensive :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 I got quoted $26 but I'm assuming thats with the $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haz Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 if its only $26 then HJ is cheaper. If its $36 then they are roughly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 From what I remember, the $15 was just for tobacco. He said something about being able to fit a kilo of Tangiers into a flat rate box for 15 or something, but most accessories (including bowls) won't fit if he is using the flat rate box I am thinking of.

Haz Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 (edited) A kilo of tangiers for $75 aint bad. Edited May 23, 2010 by Haz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cool Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 So...who's gonna email him and find out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no longer welcome Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 mitchard is right, and you can email me as well. just keep in mind that works for tangiers because of their packaging, no other brand's packaging can do that unless you get creative, which means removing outer packaging, like tins from sb, tubs from af, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then that would be pretty amazing, i need to make an order in a the next few weeks or so! EDIT: also, how much does a flat rate box hold?

Haz Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 I've emailed you asking for details on delivery costs for different weights but you might as well post it here. There are plenty of UK smokers looking for cheap shipping rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
