QuoteReplyTopic: Sensual Hair Posted: March 18 2005 at 9:44pm
I had asked her to give me a total bill for 10 irons with all the
shipping in writing. Then she e-mailed me this......
Yes we have the US type of clamp you are
looking for. We accept payment via TT/ Wire Service only. The
shipment will take the latest a week. We currently have only 8
pcs left but I will only charge you at USD$50 each.
No, I don know anything about the foreign customs practise. I
am sorry.
Freight Charges (2.6Kg inclusive of box).... $98.00
EMS Courier
Total........................$498.00
I then responded that she original said $50, for shipping. She
replied with the following…..
But because shipment is calculated by weigh, I
also cant help it.
We are selling the iron at USD50 each. Its already very cheap.
We cannot absorb the freight cost too.
We have absorb the wire charges for you.
Thanks
Sorry for the misunderstanding
Irene
This was her original e-mail………it clearly states $50 shipping
for 10 irons!!
Attached is the picture of our iron. Yes, I will
still give you the
price of USD$50 per iron if you buy only 10. However, you will
have to bear the freight charge. The shipping cost will be
USD$50.00
Thanks
Irene
So, this is where we stand with Sensual at the moment.
Originally it was going to be $5 shipping each for 10 irons. It
would now be $12.25 shipping each for 8 irons.
This would now make the irons approx $70.59 - $74.19
Lets see what Qianfine can do for us…….posted on Leia’s

Twice as much money for two fewer irons/clamps/whatever. That's silly. But if we can split the shipping, money transfer, and whatever other fees eight ways, it's still a good deal.
Edited to say: Eeek! I'm confused because we have two different threads about companies selling heat clamps if it's possible to organize a group order. I can't keep all these things straight!

Oooh - I'd like to do that. I've been hankering after a Doc Locks heat
wand for ages, but couldn't justify spending £50+ on one. I'm not
going to have any cash until April 11th though (can anyone spot the
skint student eagerly awaiting her next loan installment to be paid?),
so if everyone else wants to order before then, just ignore me and I'll
save up.
BTW, a couple of you might know me as "unoriginal_username" on
Quinn's board, but possibly not because - whilst I read almost
everything there (and here) - I'm a bit of a quiet soul, really.

Hee Hee Jenny~ I responded on the other thread then edited
as I realized you mean't to put it on this thread!!
I totally missed that thread about the hair from sensual being
bad!! Good to know!! Thanks....
I am only interested in sensual's iron, but we are in a battle right
now. The lady has now doubled the shipping and I am not
happy with that. She now said, she will sell the last 8 USA irons
still for $50 each but now she wants $98 for shipping for 8
irons. The original price was $50 shipping for 10 irons.
So girl's......l will post her response. I asked that she honor her
original quote of $50, especially now as she only has 8 irons
left to sell.
It looks like you're more interested in pursuing the heat clamp than the Sensual hair, but I just wanted to point out that there was a very bad review of the Sensual hair the other day by Kristininc; I'd never heard of it before when she mentioned it and didn't make the connection until I just read your thread. Here's the link: http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28669

We mostly do not sell only one iron as the freight charge and
wire charges will add up to be alot and not beneficial to you.
Ours is a dual side iron. There will only be wire charges and
freight charges, hence no other charges.
Thanks
Irene
Okay, so it looks like if we want a deal we would have to buy 10
irons.
Is there any interest in buying these Docs irons(identical from
the pics)? We would need 10 buyers...........
Looking at the cost...........
We would have to buy 10 irons @ $50 each +$5 split for
shipping (shipping charge for 10 irons is $50)
So that's $55 each plus we would have to split the wire transfer
fee which is probably in the $25 - $30 region. I just have to get
the exact fee for a wire.
Then I asked about customs and duty fees and she said none,
Although they never pay the customs fees. I think we may have
to pay a couple bucks more, if it's coming from overseas.
Customs fees usually gets billed later on.......they usually bill my
Fedex account 3-4 days later after I get a shipment. I will have
to try and get more info on that before we order!!
The only other fees on top here would be the 2.9% paypal fee
to transfer the money to the person placing the order. Then
Mailing the package out to you, which we could probably put it
in a large flate rate envelope....$3.85 or It may have to go in the
box's...which I think are in the $4 - $5 range. (not quite sure on
the box prices). Do you think the large flate envelopes would
be fine to send them out in?
$50.....exact iron price
$ 5......exact shipping price (split by 10 people)
$ 2.50 - 3.00 ..... estimate wire transfer fee (split by 10 people)
$0 - 3.00.... customs/duty fees if any (estimated for now)
$3.85 ....flate rate envelope (to mail out to you)
$61.35 - $61.85 (inc's $2.50 - $3 for estimated wire charge) is
the price range depending on the exact wire charge.
to $64.35 - $ 64.85.............if we have to pay for customs/duty
fees??
We may not have to pay customs fees but I just put in an
estimate in there for now, just so you have the highest charge it
may work out at.
$61.35 x 2.9% paypal fee.....=$63.13 lowest (no duty charge)
$64.85 x 2.9% paypal fee....= $66.73 highest(with duty
charges)
So this is the prices we are looking at the moment for a Doc's
iron from Sensual.
Based on this........Is anyone interested in getting one?
I will take on the order but I need serious buyers only. I don't
want to go through what Amm went through with the PH order,
with people backing out. I will send out your irons the same day
or next morning that I receive the package. I could easily go to
Doc's and buy one but if it's a chance for 10 of us to get the iron
for alot cheaper.....it may be worth the work. I would be happy
to do that.
Please post if you would like to get one of these Irons, and let
me know if you think the flate rate $3.85 envelopes would be
good to send them out in or if you think we should send them
out in a priority box? Just so I can give the exact shipping price
to you.
I would be interested in buying one of the wands - for 50.00 I am using a flatiron right now. Just cannot see spending 100.00 on a "phase" as my hubby calls it...good thing he doesn't have a clue to how much hair costs!!!!
Please keep me posted

This was the response I got from sensual hair. She sent
another pic of the iron at a different angle but I couldn't get it to
show up. Sherrie I will send the e-mail to you with the pic.
Attached is the picture of our iron. Yes, I will still give you the
price of USD$50 per iron if you buy only 10. However, you will
have to bear the freight charge. The shipping cost will be
USD$50.00
Thanks
Irene
She still didn't answer my question about the iron being a dual
iron. I will write her back again just to make sure, because
sometimes people change their stock......like that other
company I was telling you about sherrie. I will post again as
soon as she gets back to me on that.

I want to find out the full total cost from sensual with the shipping and any other fees first, just to make sure it's worth it. Sherrie, I am a little concerned about a group order because of people changing their minds.
Well, I'll post as soon as all the info is in.........
Kristin~Maybe you want to start stocking these Irons in your online shoppie if it's worth it to you

yeah it sure looks like the same iron, let me know what you find out. It would be nice to get a group order and get them cheaper. (Hopefully it wont fall apart like the PH color ring deal)
Sherrie~ These irons look the exact same as Docs......
I sent a second e-mail to just clarify they are dual and asked for shipping prices for one iron and a shipping price on ten irons. I will let you know the info as soon as I have it.

I know its completely normal when dealing with any Korean companies to do T/T for payment. Our usual forms of payments are just not used there. And unfortunately an international wire has to go through 3 banks, so each bank tacks on a charge. Oh kristinc also your own bank will probably add a fee to do the wire also, so there is another fee!
Most other countries ask for bank transfers. I have to wire the money to my suppliers bank and it costs $35 for the wire plus $16+ dollars per kilo of hair(large bulk orders only) for shipping and then duty fees on top of that, which is different each order.
