Anybody order Peruvian hair?

no takers huh. Well I went on and took the plunge and ordered some. I'll post pix if anyone is interested.

 I did see that "Essence" said she had to wait a while to get her order. So I inquired w/ Peruvian up front "how soon will you ship? I heard someone had to wait 4 wks".I got email replying  that I would definitely not have to wait past 5 days for shipp;ing.

<<Quoting: "The last time we have a minumin stock of Curly hair,  nd many order together, but right nw we have solved this.">>

So I guess they got overrun w/ orders (like a lot of suppliers w/ good hairs do).  After my payment was rec'vd , later email said hair would ship out on Saturday or Monday 24th. yay!

Hi this is Essence from BHM.  Phenomenal Joy said that someone over here has questions about the hair I got from Peru.... So I joined to answer...

In a nutshell it is very nice.  It is also VERY expensive for wholesale but still much cheaper than most retail.  It did take 4 weeks from time of payment to delivery inspite of the fact that they told me it would be 3-5 days.  To their credit they were responsive throughout and explained that they got alot of curly orders all at the same time.  That tends to happen once something is posted on these hair boards   So I kinda of understood.  They also sent me 4 ounces of 22-24 inch straight hair for free b/c of the time delay.  The straight hair is beautiful!!! As is the curly/wavy.  The main issue w/my order is that I asked for a kilo of ALL curly.  And they sent me some curly some wavy and some out and out straight.  B/c the hair is so pretty I decided to keep the curly and even the wavy but asked for an exchange on the approx 8 ounces of str8 hair I got.  They agreed and hopefully will be sending it soon (tomorrow).   They also offered to sell me the straight at 40% discount.  Again the hair is really pretty so I couldnt pass that up.  So I am actually keeping all the hair I orginally received and then they are supposed to send me an additional 8 ounces of curly.

I have only had the hair in for about a week now.  But so far so good.  I havent had any tangles.  I have had minimal shedding due to the fact that I cut the wefts and I can tell that these wefts are similar to the zigzags in that you cannot cut unless u do a good job of resealing the ends.  Which I didnt but certainly will do the next time. 

Minus the issues w/the shipping. I have to say this is probably the best quality hair Ive seen.   And Ive seen alot of weave hair in my days Similar in quality to the Great Lenghths wavy/indian texture I got before.

HTH... And if u have any more questions feel free to email me at misscarmend@yahoo.com as Im not sure how often I can/will read here b/c I already frequent too main hair boards and can only keep up with so many vices at one time and still hold down a regular job

Are they answering your emails right now? My friend still hasn't received her package. She said they  did answer one email since the last time I griped here about it and they said they were gone and would give her the new tracking # the next day and of course never emailed back. She's been emailing them and still nothing!  They've suddenly seem to be ignoring her emails or something.  I don't know what's up but for the last 3 weeks she hasn't been able to get the true tracking # from them. They told her they sent the package on the 4th and gave her a tracking # that didn't work and have yet to give her a working tracking #.  I'm bummed because I seriously wanted to try this hair after she got hers and liked it.

What email are they emailing you from? mme@speedy.com.pe

That's what she has been using.  What bullsh*t that they are emailing you and not my friend.  That means they are totally ignoring her email!  I hate places that are totally on the ball BEFORE they get your money and then bail on you after they get it.  She's been panicking and emailing them every other day or so and has gotten one email since the 3rd or 4th!  No hair and it supposedly it was shipped the 3rd or 4th.  But since the tracking# was bogus she doubts it shipped. She says the one time they did get back to her they said they were out of town or something blahblah her beautiful curly hair is on its way.  But that was weeks ago. I think she said she has been waiting well over 2.5 months now, but don't quote me on that.  Good luck with your hair. Let me know if you get it.  Maybe they lost her package and just don't want to fess up or something.

They were responsive w/me throughout the 4 week wait.  This is the ONLY reason I did not call my CC company and intiate a refund.  I will say that some of the excuses they gave for why the hair did not ship sounded bogus.  Cherrycoke did ur friend pay via CC?  If so why doesnt she get a refund?

PS and that is the same email addr I corresponded with.  U may also advise ur friend to buy a one of those international calling cards and give them a call...

for real AMM!! But if they jerk me around, I'll just take it up w/ my c-card company to get $ back. That's the reason i waited for the Peru company to offer a "credit card pay" option. I was a lil nervous about W-U'ing them funds like that with no samples or anything yet. When I first dealt with them, they were only taking Wire funds and WU. But later they emailed me they were set up to accept credit cards.  With my credit card i'm protected 100% for any kind of scam or fraud or nondelivery. I 'd hate to have to do that tho, cause i want some of the lovely hair Essence got.

cherry did she use her CC with western union? If so she could still take it up with her CC company.

a FEW months????

she ordered a few mths ago and still has not received it???

what if you tell them look, you said that the hair would not take 4 weeks, tell ya what- if it does, you will then credit me back my money!

Get it in writing!

I just posted an update about it today.

28th huh?? They told her today they'd send hers tomorrow, but they've said that about 15 times already.  So they probably won't be sending hers tomorrow like they said AGAIN!  By the looks of the emails they sent her, they are having all kinds of problems getting their hair shipped and their story STRAIGHT!
