alliestar90 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 hey everyone, what is the best website to buy hookah stuff from? I've never gotten anything for my hookah on the Internet before and i don't want to end up being overcharged or getting crappy stuff. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Several sites are highly recommended on here: Hookahcompany.com Hookah-Shisha.com NazarHookah.com HookahJohn.com UltimateHookah.com 5StarHookah.com These are the main ones off the top of my head (I may be missing some of the important ones, I'm kinda out of it right now). Just visit all of them and order from which one has what you want and has the cheapest price + shipping. Also, feel free to post up what you're thinking about getting and we'll tell you what's what.

littlec Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) My opinion is biased, but hookahjohn.com, hookahcompany.com, nazarhookah.com are the top 3 I follow usually. there are steals and deals on other sites sometimes that I come across. It's best to search around because prices fluctuate so often and places that are sometimes not that well known have good deals depending on what you're looking for. Edit* yeah good call Chris UltimateHookah.com and 5StarHookah.com have some good wares as well, hookah-shisha though while they're not bad they're kinda like the walmart of hookah, got a little bit of everything, some good some crap, however they're not always rolling back prices so you always want to check prices elsewhere that goes for any vendor really.

magick777 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I can't add much to what's been said about major US retailers for generic supplies, or a good range of what's on the market, but wanted to add something faintly perverse. The more confidence I feel I [b]should[/b] have in a hookah retailer, the better the website and the more comprehensive the range, the more likely it is for my order to get cocked up in some way. Pile 'em high, flog 'em cheap, customer service often optional. The smaller the company, the less it does, the less impressive the website, the less obvious the communication and payment methods, the more specialised they are and the crazier the idea of buying from them in the first place, the more likely it is everything goes right. Hence a recommendation for a couple of smaller US retailers - who will not have everything you want, but who clearly care about what they do and are unlikely to disappoint on quality, service or value.[list] [*]Santino of Crown Hookahs - artisan glass blower, bowls fully worth the (seemingly) astronomical price, competent approach to international shipping & payment. Don't regret $65 on shipping two of em to London. [*]Kamal of Hookah1 - sells interesting shisha including Salloum and Desi Murli. My order is still in transit, but I placed it on Thursday 13th and received confirmation of shipment from USPS on Friday 14th; we like people who get on and do what they say. [/list] In short, with no disrespect to the major retailers some of whom may be equally competent, I'd sooner blow $50 with either of these guys than with any of the mainstream suppliers. Assuming, of course, that you've dealt enough with the mainstream to have a decent hose and some decent coals; if not, do that first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouda Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 best place to buy? Whereever you get the best deal for what you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 As a customer, I've only ever dealt with hookahcompany.com and 5starhookah.com, both have been great to me. 5starhookah has incredibly fast shipping and is located in CA. I made a my first order from them on Friday afternoon and got my delivery yesterday, $5 shipped USPS priority, and I'm sure you'd see equally good shipping since you're in Villa Park which is just up the street from me.
