QuoteReplyTopic: I received my AD order! Posted: April 05 2005 at 11:06pm
I received my order of the thermofibre from American Dream today! I bought one weft of 18" thermofibre and the color ring. It looks nice and feels great!
After I finish my dinner, I'll take some pictures and post them for you all to see.
By the way, I called in my order exactly 1 week from today, so shipping from London to California only took a week, and I didn't pay extra for any express shipping.
I tried to curl the hair with a '2' (out of 20 being the hotest) setting on my Con Air curling iron, and it made a little bit of a curl. Barrel size about 1".
The 18" long weft of thermofibre, 100 grams (= 3.5 ounces) cost about $20 US.
The regular shipping was also about $20 US.
The color ring was about $24 US.
These wefts are available in lengths 36" and 60" long also!
The catalogue says there are 18 thermofibre colors to choose from, but the ring has 28 colors on it, so I don't know if all those colors are acutally available.
I wanted to see how this hair would actually look, so I grabbed my nearest willing model.... don't mind the lipstick kiss print on his nose!
Amm, PH comes from Switzerland, not England- that means it has to cross
all of France, in addition to the Atlantic Ocean. Also, metalgirl
probably got Airmail shipping. That's the same thing as PH's Priority
(not Urgent) shipping. Their Economy shipping is basically Ground/Boat,
and even coming from the UK, Ground/Boat takes about 3-4 weeks. So it's
not really the vendor's shipping that's the issue, but rather the
shipping options that the country's postal system offer. Also, just a
suggestion, but if you have a problem with an aspect of a vendor's
service, wouldn't it be more productive to talk to them about it,
rather than be annoyed about it on the board? After all, if you have an
issue with PH's service, Sara can't do anythign about it unless you
tell her. :)
OT, but metalgirl- that is the cutest, fluffiest dog ever! What breed is it?
That's my Great Pyrenees, Frazier. He's 3 years old, he's rescue dog. It's hard to believe he was in a home that didn't want him! He was so skinny from being underfed when I got him. He weighed only about 100 pounds when I got him, and now I would say he's pushing 125+.
Under my 'Metalgirl' name are the pictures of Frazier and Alexa (also a Pyrenees) -my furry children.
Anyway, in the next few days I'm going to play around with this thermofibre. I'm going to try to curl it with hot rollers and see what it does. I'll let you all know.
The hair looks lovely, Metalgirl. Have you tried to heat it on a higher
setting? How does it compare to Prostyles, Dome, or PH? Or to the other
therms, like WaWa and HSF?
When you order over the phone (which I assume is currently the only way
to order?), do you just pay by credit card? Or is it a Paypal thing?
Frazier is a perfect 613 model! :)
Edited to say: And it sounds like AD's shipping is the same deal as
Dome's (since they're both U.K.)--about $20, so it pays to place larger
orders, but it does arrive pretty quick. :)
Yes, the prices are in there for sure. I didn't see pretipped synth in there, tho. Don't recall pretipped ANYTHING, but could be wrong there.
Metalgirl, does the order come DHL the way Dome does where you have to sign for it? Oooohh I hate that cuz I'm never home for the delivery. Such a pain.
Also, I'm interested like the other gals as to how this thermo compares in texture and performance to WaWa. One of the Brits posted that she didn't like the AD thermo - that it tangled. Can you please let us know your comparisons? I would LOVE for AD to be comparable to WaWa in silkiness and curlability since it comes in so many colors.
Thanks!

Fina, you can email Mandeep@hair-heaven.com (I think that's it) and request the AD catalog, and YES I want to place an order but I want a color ring first.

I emailed him at the email address on their web page a while back. . .I
guess it was a different email address. I'll try the one above. I need
a color ring too.

Okay. Maybe we should start with that and make an order - one big time shipping charge and several smaller domestic charges. I'm in on that for sure. If anyone else is interested, please chime in!

I am so glad that you have e-mailed me, I tried e-mailing you
that same day, but I think I might have written the wrong e-mail
address, because it came back as undelivered.
I do not make a habit of telling m,y customers that I will e-mail
you and don't , it was just bad luck that I did not have the correct
e-mail address, I had been waiting for you to phone me, so that
I could explain.
Also I have been Exhibiting in Italy whilst you sent this e-mail,
and I have just got back into the office today, and saw your e-
mail.
I have have sent the brochure to you today.
We have a new brochure that is coming out out at the end of
this month and once we have it I will send it you. but for now I
will tell you the additional colours that we have for Thermo
fibre, please see attached file.
If there is any questions please contact me I WILL reply back,
now I have your e-mail address.
Kind Regards
Mandeep Mudhar

If the not so natural colors are actually available not just ont he ring I could be interested in a big group order. My natural color needs are likely met by wawa. Though that dark brown slight hint of red color (near the top of the picture of the color ring) also looks promising...
