Why turn down a single order at retail price? Like I saw a great product under "Suppliers Hype" Retailers Wanted, I went to their site that had this cool product, a solar powered eCig charger. Decent price but can't tell if it is retail or wholesale price. Wish these suppliers would clarify on their sites, that would help.
Maybe it's the legalities of being registered as a wholesaler with the Gov, tho I'll bet they could work around that somehow..... | Again I totally agree Breakfree!  I do believe the government over there does contribute to the constraints and established guidelines they have to do business under. Look at many Mission Statements or "About US" pages and see "Only Government Licensed... Official Government...", this or that. I know there is a work around. Sometimes its just as simple as meeting with an outstretched hand in trust, rather than a tightened or bound one by red tape. 'nuff said.  Quote:

Okay, I'm done with this thread. Not much more for me to see here.
On to a awesome lil' case mod I've worked on a little this fine Sunday afternoon, if I finish we'll have pictures & a post to look at later!!!

| I wouldn't be too concerned DrDave. He should have known better than to shown pricing schemes like that to Vapetroners. That plan may work well to the average noob who googles it, but most poeple around here have already been there and done that so to speak. I'm sure he is still working on getting the foot out of his mouth right now.
To be fair... $52 shipped is not a bad price for a decent e-cig and I'm certain he would do well if he just stated it that way, versus beating around the bush. | |

| Hey guys, hold your horses. I didnīt have the possibility to use the web on the weekend, so sorry about the delay with my reply.
Well i donīt have much to say by now, you all pretty much figured it all out yourselves. Our shipping charge is by weight and is 20$ for the first 0,5kg and 6,2$ for every following 0,5kg. I know it's maybe not the best price to offer at this moment but in time we will have warehouses in the states, and by that time the shipping prices will definitely go down. In a month or two everything should work out just fine. But meanwhile i'm going to try and talk to our supplier about the shipping-prices, maybe they could lower them right away. And if anybody is interested outside the United States, then the shipping prices also vary.
And about the names and model numbers. I'm working on them, i have to check all the kits that we sell one by one and i'm going to mark them with the right model numbers, just waiting for the product-list.
So if there's any more questions you can ask away. On workdays i sit behind the screen all the time. I'm sorry if i didn't answer all your questions, there were way too many comments. | |

| Edukhan,
I am just trying to figure out what the deal actually is. I certainly would not ever try to tell somone how to run a business. I think what really fired this whole thing off is how you presented your company to the forum. Many companies that are startups will try to find the most competitive edge possible. I don't slight you for that at all. I agree you have some very attractive prices but the shipping kills the deal, for a lot of us. A $29.00 fee to buy a $23.00 item does NOT equal the best price. A website that does not have any model numbers or specifications so that we can do reasearch on that brand does NOT equal performance. If you could have just come out of the gate and said hey wholesale only or something similar, I think less people would have been suprised. Just my 2 cents. | |

| Stehle: Fowl !!!,
you already put your 2 cents in, and may I quote:
Anyway... that's my 2 cents. (Wonder what the shipping costs are on pennies?)
Since when did we start allowing 4 cent contributors?

| Okei, at some point i will have to agree. You can spend a 150$ on your "super" quality e-cig, but i can guarantee that our 25$ product will give you the same satisfaction.
I'm not trying to discredit anybody and if somebody likes those high-priced e-cigs then go ahead, but why should you waste more money on electronic cigarettes than the regular ones, i mean, that is one of the major points in smoking e-cigs, it supposed to be cheap!
So my point is economy and getting great products for the minimum price.
Thank you, for your time. | |

I think guys might go for it if it was just "Mini Pipe".
Mini Cigars would be a good market for guys but only if they're not called "Lady Cigars", ya get me?  | Put some crystals on it and I would | |

| edukhan,
The whole deal is a little bit higher than what we could pay for a good set.
I never paid $150 for a set, I paid <$150 for 5 complete e-cigs ans 2 pcc's of my collection. Your deal isn't even worth my time. So many other dealers offer kits for approx $50 shipped.
I didn't want to sound mean, but after a long day, I went to your page and....well I should have read all the replies FIRST.
Are you working for the FDA, or just trying to get rocket to start a worst-deal-mystery-model-contest to counter the 510 contests.

| Listen flavorcountry,
If you don't like how i do business you always have the choice of not buying from me I have a lot of clients who are satisfied with my product and my price. As i am only starting my business, that is why the shipping price so high. So my advise is don't visit pages you don't know after a "long day", if you can't handle a disappointment.
Hope i can interest you again with my web-page when the shipping prices drop... | |
