This can be a thread where we can rant, rave and praise (or curse lol) about our buying experiences. Lots of sales, lots of vendors. :grin:

You can post what you bought, when you bought it, how long it took, if it was up to standard, or if you never got it!

P. S. I know we have a few other threads so if this is overkill feel free to let it fall by the wayside :spinning:
 
I've made a few 'Pre' BF Purchases. So far great experiences by some Newer Players (at least new to me) -

Jakeala (my personal favorite new comer of 2014) I got:
x3-4 Coffee Hair & Body Balms
x2 Tutti Honey DC'er
x4 Hibiscus, Flaxseed Cleansing Conditioner
x2 Shea, Amala, Hemp, Castor Parfait's

Shipping was fast. Customer Service was Great.

Mission:Condition - Struggled a bit when she 1st Launched. But I have placed x2 additional orders that went incredibly smooth

x2 16oz Cranberry Cheapskate Conditioner (R/O)
x3 Honey Marshmallow DC'ers
x1 HempAde (new)
x1 Candy Hair DC'er (new)
x1 Tutti Fruitti DC'er
x1 Banana Kisses DC'er

J.Monique Naturals - Another Great newcomer with excellent CS, Quick Shipping and all the other great things we love in a new vendor.

Those were more Halloween-y Purchases

I plan to do a miscellaneous Cart from Hattache - I bought from them last BF and Mothers Day and they are a wonderful company that carries a variety of Lines. Excellent CS, Fast Shipping.
 
I plan to order from 3rd party vendors for the bulk of my items

Curlmart and Hattache. After waiting to almost dang near Christmas to receive my items last year. I learned my lesson.

But I'm going to give APB a try this year.
 
My first purchase was curlmart last week. It'll be here today. I purchased J. Monique yesterday. Second purchase from her. We'll see how she handles a holiday sale.

I'm debating Hattache. They are new for me.

Oh, so Marie Dean has a BF coupon code? I contacted them SEVERAL times in the last month regarding their sale and they did not provide any information. Now seeing this, I suspect they really didn't want to participate in BF, so I won't be including them. #wompwomp
 
has anyone gotten any info about Quemet Biologics sale yet? i'm not on her mailing list. i think i read earlier she was going to do something
 
Got 40% off at Obia this week. They said my order already shipped, so I'm pleased. I ordered four shampoo bars and two jars of DC. Flat rate $5.99 shipping!
 
Ordered from Oyin early Thursday morning. Shipping notice created and sent early this morning (friday). Good turnaround. Im an hour down the road so I expect to have my goodies by tuesday. Woo hoo!
 
There were so many pla es I wanted to order from but most dont ship to South zkorea. I settled on Soultanicals, Alikay Naturals and a few things from FoxyMango. Im not expecting them for a while so I've got enough to hold me over.

The Supa Dupa Baddd A$$ Vendor of 2014 Award...goes to Hattache.

This weekend I received three shipping label/tracking notifications from BF/SBS vendors, which means nothing to me, because vendors create labels all the time, and the product doesn't move at all.

I just got home from work and on my porch was a box from Hattache. I just checked the tracking and this box was delivered at 8:55 am. :spinning: They've just won a repeat/loyal customer. I'll know that if I order something, in the future, I'll get it promptly! I have to bow down to this vendor :worthy:

In addition, my box was packed nicely.

I have labels from:
Bodynomics and Oyin Handmade

Waiting for:
Bekura
Shades of Color/LocSoc
Silk Dreams
Qhemet Biologics
 
All I can say is so for so good,

Obia Natural or/ 11-25 re/ 11-29
Hattache or/ 11-28 re/ 12-1

Labels created for APB and J.Monique's.

Waiting on Jakeala and Bask.

I went to Best Buy on Thursday to get that iPad I wanted when the doors opened at 5pm. By 5:30 I was home playing with my new toy.
 
So far the only vendor I got stuff from on thursday that has sent out my item has been HotHead. For some reason I thought she would be the last one

BLACK FRIDAY MVPS

- Hattache
- Obia
Shipping was on point/on fleek/A-1/etc. Already received my items from these two vendors, took all of two days I believe for my order to be processed, shipped and received. Additionally, Obia's 40% off was quite nice in the land of 20% offs as well.
 
The Good = Mission:Condition's BF Sale
The Bad = Mission:Condition Announcing that they will be closing
The Ugly = Getting Hooked on a Product Line that is Closing
