shipping from the US to UK...

No, the issue with early PH shipments was that at least one (mine) got lost, so she switched to insured mail, but the insured-mail option was super expensive, didn't have tracking, and didn't have very good compensation policies, so Sara just said "f**k it" (well, she probably said it in Swiss German, but something like that) switched back to normal mail options and now just replaces whatever gets lost.

Shel, what hair did you order that you're not enthused about?

Shell, As far I know the FOB stands for Freight On Board.  This means two things - location of the merchandise and depending on that location, the buyer is responsible for freight charges from that location (china) to your destination chosen.  I worked out it would cost a hundreds to have it shipped over.  The FOB is only done in bulk buys as far as I know.

 

 

Are you guys sure this is only a U.S.-U.K. thing. I thought I heard of some customs issues early on with PlastikHaar (which is in Switzerland), and in response, she doesn't insure packages anymore. (I could be mistaken on this, though.)

Gingerhead - Whats the FOB China fees?

Amm - That so nice of you to do that for Sam.  I wouldnt get away with getting any of my orders maked as gift with my US hair supplier as its a $2500 minum order and would be massive plus i would want in insured just incase.  Im still going to get shrinkies off you very soon.  Just been blown away with all the hair seacrching at the mo

It applies everywhere from the US to UK it has to be under £30 and declared as a gift otherwise you end up paying customs fee and delivery charge to your home.  The other thing is if it gets lost then you cant claim anything only upto £30 so if your order is in the value of £30 upwards you wont beable to claim any extra. If you order from China or India or anywhere else in bulk they only send FOB so it works out very expensive.

its a shame really as the supplier was really nice and i was looking forward to doing business but so far out of all my trials Bohyme is still on tops so far.  All my searches keep taking me to a dead end.  I want to be able to start my own label with a hair as good or better than the bohyme but im nearly ready for giving up! I have 1 last supplier to try! fingers crossed

How grown up of us. As if running our currency value into the ground wasn't enough.

which effects UK imports to the US, so the UK have done the same.

I dont think i'll bother.  The hair was ment to be really good. It has micro-polymer cross-linking treatment lasting 100 washes and is processed Indian hair to European texture and is treated with a Perma moisture treatment.  HOWEVER imo Bohyme felt like silk compared to it today   What a waste of money

I didn't know anything about this until today, I e mailed doctor locks to ask where my shrinkies were (i ordered them on April 12th) I ended up getting another e mail asking me for an extra $14.35! I'm not paying it, I wasn't warned when I ordered the shrinkies, has anyone else had these problems!
