mattarios2 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 I hope it only takes a week but that is wishful thinking ... I've had international packages coming into the us only take a few days before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I love how when I order shit from China off of eBay and it surprises me by arriving in a matter of a few days instead of the two weeks they estimated. Mindfuck every time. One time I ordered a Sony Ericsson phone from Hong Kong and I got it in two days. Yes, with Chinese stamps and packaging. The Chinese are sneaky little bitches...

mattarios2 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 haha yeah, seems like they know something everyone else doesn't. On other forums people say whenever they order from Hong Kong it arrives in no time. Wish it could be that way with Turkey too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Package is in my state, about an hour away from me, should be here today or tomorrow. So it sat in customs for one week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 [quote name='Hassouni' timestamp='1354567421' post='563704'] Nice, maybe Sabri is figuring out how to expedite international orders [/quote] Well according to the web, if you do all the paper work correctly and your package isn't "suspicious" it should only take a week, assuming the customs facility is operating at normal pace. Various sites said if it takes longer than a week, it is usually paper work problems majority of the time and they have to re write customs forms etc. Like I said, my first order with them the package sat in customs for 3 weeks, this time it sat for 6 business days.

[/quote] Me neither, I don't know if I will be able to get pics up, I am super busy at the moment but maybe I can get my gf to. I will do my best to get pics up tomorrow if it comes in.

Hassouni Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 If who does all the paperwork? There was none for me to do either time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 It is the shipper's job (nargile store) to fill out the customs form that gets taped to the package. Customs takes the forms and reviews them, if they are not properly filled out the package is moved to another department for the forms to be completely properly. Sometimes this requires customs to contact the shipper, causing a delay in customs processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 So, the pipe is more than I was expecting. It is AMAZING. The vase is heavy as shit, stem is quite heavy considering everywhere that has caging is hollow. There is not a blemish on the thing, it is literally perfect. If the photos suck I am sorry, I was in a rush. The tray is a little thicker than your typical elmas tray and has the catching welded to it. The welded on "cages" are thick and would take quite a bit of force to bend on the tray and under the tray rest.

Everything came in perfectly and only sat in customs for a week. Nothing is crooked, everything is straight, zero scratches, zero dings or scuffs, it is literally perfect. Oh and you CAN see through the vase with light as I know some people don't like solid colored vases. The vase is actually like a dark amaranth or however you spell it. It is such a dark purple that it looks black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Great looking addition! You probably have the set of pipes I am most jealous about. I am hoping to see an updated group shot soon. It is also great to see an elmas set-up that completely matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassouni Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Very, very nice dude, looks far better than the pics they sent. I tend to agree with you that this is up their as one of their 1 or 2 best looking. Mabrouk! (or as the Turks say, Tebrikler!) Re: the glass, did you mean amethyst? Let us now how the Elmas "tozsuz nargile ve mangal kömürü" (dust-free nargile and barbecue charcoal) turns out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
