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.

Duafe Naturals
Soultanicals
 
I got my Brown Butter beauty, just awaiting my SSI, I'm eager to see if the Fortifying mask is still good as it was for me when I was texlaxed years ago.
 
Got everything except for Cream and Coco....

@Pompous Blue

I want some BNB's but the Shipping Cost also Shi-Naturals:nono:

I don't know why either of them refuse to do Flat Rate Shipping or a cheaper alternative.:rolleyes:

IDareT'sHair Shipping Costs are everything to me....I want to keep as much money in my pocket as I can....

Why have a sale and the shipping cost eats up all of the "saving".

I credit BNB with getting me started henna'ing because at the time I was ordering from them, I bought one of their henna pkgs and was well pleased with it. So, I was loyal to them. But then I found I could buy everything separately and save a bunch of money....

Never ordered from Shi Naturals.
 
@Pompous Blue

Shi has some really good products too, but her Shipping Costs are way over the top and make her great products 'less' attractive.

For the cost of her Shipping (and Butters N Bars), I could have a whole other product or 2 or 3.:look:
 
Got my Cream and Coco shipping notice.

Still waiting for Afroveda, Duafe, and Soultanicals.

Let's see which one will arrive before or after the New Year lol...

Yeah the only time I order from Shi is when I order over $100. I think that if I still like Mozeke I'll start ordering over whatever her set limit is for free shipping. I try my best to order from people who have multiple products I like or 1 product I want to use all year round.

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

I'm sad to see Koils by Nature on there. I had fantastic service with her and she delivered in about 10 days after I ordered....I wish I had done more research on Afroveda. They are the only ones who haven't shipped yet and I ordered them DAYS before I ordered some other stuff that arrived a week ago. Butters-n-Bars kept sending me cracked containers and product would always be leaking in the package...I haven't ordered from Hairveda but I do love their 24/7 Moisture Conditioner I got from Healthy Hair Demensions a few years ago...If I want to try, I guess I'll order now and hope I get it by summer next year :lol:

Other than the above, I don't have anyone to complain about yet... I haven't been ordering that much and when I did, everyone was good to me :)
 
Hairitage Hydration finally shipped my Cyber Monday order today of Carrot Cake & Deep C, can't wait for them to come. I shocked I'll get 'em before Christmas :grin:

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.

Hey! I like to store my handmade/natural products in my fridge..like my Afroveda,qhemet,and hairitage hydration...but my bask products I keep in my bathroom under my sink where it's cool and dry since bask products are not 100% all natural..

Soooo... None of yalls saw my previous post...

SoSwanky

Sorry... I saw it lol. I am storing mine in a cardboard box w/a lid in the back room. Our back room gets as cold as outside (now it's about 44 but it usually gets down to 24 at night/early morning) so it keeps everything nice and cold without taking up fridge space.

SoSwanky Hi! I store some of my products,in a cool dry dark place..Some in the frige it depends...Others under my bed in a box/storage closet in my bathroom

Happy Hair Growing!
 
I store everything in a trunk in the solarium. It is really cool there in the winter and steamy in the summer :spinning:. But, I also try not to keep anything for longer than a year.

For most of the home-whipped stuff, I assume a shelf life of 1 year unopened and 6 months opened. Those that have been tested in the lab - Curl Junkie, Bask, DB, etc. -, unless stated otherwise, I assume 2 years unopened and 1 year opened. Curl Junkie confirmed this is the case with their products.

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. :ohwell:

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. :nono:

Yea my package didn't move until the next evening after receiving the shipping message.

My first order was placed shortly after the sale started and it didn't ship with that first wave of orders either. So then I placed a second order a couple of days later since she combined shipping.

But I was slightly miffed that everyone else got shipping info and I didn't as an early shopper.

My bask order is still in Atlanta. Estimated delivery is the 19th. Sigh.

I usually order my bask through sage and sage has fast shipping.

I keep all of my stuff in a closet. I keep all of my products for two years. I never had anything go bad.

I did buy a bunch of conditioners last year so now I have to mix them with my leave ins and deep conditioners.
 
Hydroquench is at my front door. I can't wait to try the greaseless moisture tonight and the slip DC this weekend!

I think I will stick with Komaza! It was the first order to arrive and I ordered it almost last. That protein strengthener gave my transitioning WL hair LIFE! I combed my hair from root to tip as a test and no breakage! WHAT?! I'll be all up in the next sale. I want to try more of her line now. Off to read the komaza thread.
