Post your Holiday/Black Friday/Cyber Monday.Purchase!

[myfaithrising]

So I know that other people have said this before but...

WTF does order "Completed" mean? I got that in an email from Afroveda on Friday about my BF order.

MY ORDER IS NOT COMPLETE UNTIL IT'S REACHED ITS DESTINATION.... ME.

#endrant.

I got this same email from Hairveda and was also like what the heck does that mean "your order has been completed"?

I want a shipping notice and then I want the mailman or ups showing up at my door, then ill know my order is completed.

Girl, I ordered on 11/19 and she won't even respond to any of my Correspondence simply seeking a Update on the Status of my Order.

 

[Renewed1]

I sent Shescentit and hairveda an email today. Maybe I'm PMSIng but I'm getting steamed!

Shescentit said she will send out my products tomorrow. I hope this comes with some upgrades.

Hydroquench upgraded my deep conditioner.

I'm hoping the more high end (expensive) vendors learn to always have their ingredients available when a big holiday sale is approaching.

 

[Hibiscus30]

IDareT'sHair I'm really PO with this foolishness from Duafe! It's just no excuse! She needs to also stay closed for a while and regroup!!

naturalATLPCH you might get lucky and get your products by MLK holiday!!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

you might get lucky and get your products by MLK holiday!!

@Hibiscus30 @cutenss

Pffft. Hmpf. What You Talmbout?

Girl You mean....WE Might get OUR Products by the MLK!

 

[bebezazueta]

I was supposed to get hydro quench on Saturday per her email. Imagine me sitting with a protein treatment in and waiting for the slip moisturizing condish that never came! This morning I received a tracking number and it will be here tomorrow.

I saw a few things I wanted from Duafe but after looking at this thread. Never mind! I did however find a recipe for her castor oil jelly (non petroleum jelly) online.

I think someone should start a thread where we post recipes and/or dupes of our favorite products from shady vendors! Tag me when you do.

 

[veesweets]

Got my hairveda shipping notice
Bask #2 is out for delivery.

So thats finally everything for me. 2-3 weeks max is what I expected so I'm happy.

 

[Hibiscus30]

bebezazueta I was thinking the same thing and I was tempted to get that castor jelly too welp guess I will on the search engine I got some glass jars from hobby lobby bogo...I'm gettin ready and I got some Colombian coffee infusing. Gonna dupe that coffee butter (I "heard" so much about!)

IDareT'sHair I'm LMBO...cause that's what I shoulda said!!! It's just comical now!

How does everyone like their free Darcy's gift. I appreciate it because it is a gift, but I was hoping for a hair product. It will still come in useful.

 

[Napp]

I can't believe I'm still waiting on my order. I emailed the company and find out they just shipped my item today after I complained about shipping. Wtf.

 

[Angelbean]

I thought it meant shipped with nothing on back order.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

I just can't order from afroveda direct anymore last time I did which was November 1st it took 24 days for me to get my stuff..ain't nobody got time for that!

Oh what was the gift?

I remember getting generous samples of new products in the past.

 

[prettyinpurple]

Bask is out for delivery! That's my last order to be delivered.

You are going to smell sooooo good!

[SoSwanky]

My Hairveda is the LAST THING that I am waiting on... I am beginning to be a lil miffed. On another note, sent BASK an email about a product they shipped that was the wrong one- they told me to keep and enjoy it and they will send out the other today or tomorrow. Yay!

 

[Renewed1]

Hairveda said I should receive my order this week. Won't be ordering from them again, time to find a new deep conditioner and red tea moisturizer. She said I'll get double the rewards points. I want a free product or upgrade my products.

Shescentit shipped (supposedly) today.

Ladies. Please recommend vendors that ship within 3 weeks or less.

Darcy's Botanicals Coconut Lip Polish. It's okay, I guess.

Shrug....I wanted a hair product, too. I already have a product I exfoliate my lips with. But this coconut lip polish seems so blasé.

Angelbean I dropped Afroveda long time ago and don't ever plan to order her products EVER!!!

Other vendors I've dropped over the years because of slow shipping, poor CS, etc. No matter if I've heard they've improved.

I'm never so dedicated to a vendor that I will take anything from them. And you know what, moving on has helped me find better vendors and products.

Vendors I no longer patronize:

Afroveda
Hairveda
Butters 'N Bars
Koils by Nature

Could be more but they're not coming to mind now.

Yes girl I really don't understand how these vendors think glacier speed shipping and sub par customer service is okay! They need to get it together quick...

 

[Jadi]

Finally, my bask shipped out. I was starting to worry. I wonder if hattache is having a x-mas sale?!

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

My SheScentIt shipped...it's been approximately two weeks. So I am happy.

 

[SEMO]

I got an email from B.A.S.K. that my order shipped, but there's no shipping information for the tracking number they gave me. So my box may or may not be in the mail. Since today is the last day to order and get your items before Christmas (see attachment), I guess I can at least expect my stuff by then.

But theoretically, I may not be getting my items any faster than people who ordered 2 weeks after I did. That doesn't make sense to me.

 

[dmples2]

My SheScentit came today. The only thing I am waiting on is HH. I'll probably get that around Easter

Lawd knows I needed cuz my lips been xtra chapped lately but would have liked a hair product. I had to go off on USPS today because Darcy's sent me a copy of the tracking info after I emailed her and it said that the postman attempted to deliver on Saturday and left a notice when no one answered
1) I was home all day snowed in having a spa hair day. There was no damn knock on my door
2) there was no notice on my door or mailbox
3) package was left at door today, so why wouldn't it have been left on saturday

Anyway this was the final expected package, I'm done! Sent from my iPhone using LHCF

Lip 'polisher' aka lip scrub

 

[SoSwanky]

Hey ladies- I just wanted to know how are you storing these items (natural/handmade etc.)? I know that some of them like Bask and PB don't have expiration dates. Would it be okay to store them like I would something that I brought from Sally's or store them in, say, the fridge until I am ready to use them? I hauled quite a bit and would be horrified if it spoiled before I was able to use it all up.
